The curse of overusing comparisons

 Selling is a game of emotions.

The seller tries to attach the meaning to their product of what you seek as a buyer.

Confidence, success, even sex.

But what happens when everyone starts to overuse specific words?

For example: "This event is for overachievers", "Mega successful people do this" or "Trillion dollar habits".

Sellers try to outsmart others by putting bigger words on their products.

In the end, it is not about them, but about us. Maybe we need to adapt to a new way of thinking, where less is more.

Don't look for trillion dollar habit book, but instead habits that will make you deliver on consistent results. It doesn't sound so sexy, but building business should be a boring and consistent path.

If you are excited and have to "extinguish fires" in your bussiness each morning, this is not the life you can sustain in the long run.

This result in a lot of guess work and a huge stress on the engineering team during the launch day. On the positive end, they did have stage and prod environment, which is a best practice approach.

The key takeaway is the importance of proactive planning and scalable system architecture to accommodate fluctuating demand.

Perks of being part of a non-profit

When you join a non-profit, you do it because you believe in the cause. However, if you do something for free, you expect work and people you work with to motivate you to do your fully. If the culture is already toxic, don’t expect you will be able to change it. Then the perks of being part of non-profit are replaced with the pain of being in an organization that even doesn’t pay you. This is also the issue with political parties which want to attract people to promote their ideas. Most of the time, people see how bad the situation is and run away. Let this be the message for all the people who want to build something new based only on the idea. Give your followers or colleagues something they can embrace and enjoy to be able not only to at
