Provide incentives and support to local companies to become multi-unicorns (BATs etc).

These companies start investing in other leading startups, scross the globe and have substantial stakes in them.

Then, nationalise these companies and you have then indirect control/semi-control/access over vast majority of leading startups across the globe.

This seems to be a nice move by Chinese government.

hi!

have you considered white hat selling?

Take 25 top companies of your prospects list and write to them asking for permission to do a pen test.

It all starts from there...

hello Master,

one issue with pitch is that, for doctors who are not versed with web technology, your offer is more of a paid liability, than a solution.

who would maintain the website, when you have sold them?

the vets, probably neither have the time nor the inclination to maintain it, and so far they have been doing without it.

Why dont you offer them, website and with just a marginal yearly cost, free maintenance also, with which they can always keep their website updated, by just sending you text and photographs by email?

this is like a complete peace of mind offer.

in fact, you can make it one offer, website with free maintenance (hosting, domain, updating content etc) at a flat yearly free.

You have a SAAS product in offering now...

Perhaps the most conclusive study to prove that mobile learning (on a smartphone) is a myth and at most a vanity.

While eating less and having CR and IF is important, equally important is the actual process of eating.

Most of the articles focus on results, but not on the actual process.

If one is eating sitting on the couch, watching television, completely oblivious of the activity, it is not going to help.

There is nothing absolute in nature, everything is connected.

How do we eat is far more important than how much we eat.

One simple experiment one can do at dinner is to sit alone, without any distraction with the dinner plate and for every morsel one takes in, chew it till you count 20 and then swallow.

Notice what happens...

I believe what the article points to convey about "emotional labour" is that, it is tough to do these jobs because, being in constant company of distress and suffering is emotionally very tough.

Specially in case of elderly or those suffering from terminal diseases, it is much more tough because inherent you are helpless, you want to do so much but inspite of your best efforts, you can't do anything.

that's emotional labour!

Things in life needs to be taken in totality and not in silos. Whatever Uber has managed to do is creditable, but at what cost?

Being a jerk company?

Thanks, but no thanks. I'd rather ride a bullock cart, than avail services of such a company.

This further enhances the fact that we must have a proper 7 to 8 hours sleep.

Also, to some extent why naps are refreshing.

Does it means that when we feel overwhelmed, just closing our eyes and sitting still for only couple of minutes would help?
