Tune In to the Secrets of Real Business Leaders

World AffairsBusiness & Finance

A while back I found some great product leadership guidance in “The Secrets of Tuned In Leaders”, by Craig Stull, Phil Myers & David Meerman Scott. They did a series of interviews with CEOs to understand how technology companies create success, and why most fail.

They found many similarities between the companies that are winning in the marketplace and those that are struggling. But behind the scenes, seven critical success factors emerged. So pragmatic were these “secrets” that most of the CEOs treated them as nothing more significant than looking both ways before crossing the street.

But we all know that looking both ways first can save your life. Here is a summary of seven maxims that I excerpted from their e-book, which you can use in your startup and every entrepreneurial initiative:
  1. Work as a trusted customer advisor. The way today’s leaders create a sustainable, growing, and successful company is to instill a company culture of working as trusted advisors to prospects and customers alike. By first understanding market problems, then building the products people want to buy, and communicating to buyers an understanding of their problems, everything else falls into place.

Even More FarmVille Secrets, Hints, Tips, And Tricks

In September, I posted an article about Secrets, Hints, Tips, and Tricks to Succeed in FarmVille on Facebook. Having only played the now amazingly popular Facebook farming game for less than two weeks, I had already gathered lots of helpful tips. I've been asked so many times for more tips that I thought it was time for Part 2.

Get More Eggs And Other Special Items

Even if you've never used Twitter before, I'm sure you're aware of what it is by now. Even if you don't have a Twitter account, you should grab a Twitter client because it's very useful in helping you snatch up those coveted lost animals and chicken eggs. Chicken eggs go especially fast because they hatch to reveal gold, brown, black, and white chickens as well as other cool stuff like hot tubs, pink flamingos, or even fuel. The problem is that people grab lost animals and eggs so fast you almost have to be on Facebook all day for a chance at one. I have to work all day, but I have a secret weapon. I use a program called TweetDeck for my Twitter accounts, but I also added Facebook, and that includes all those freebies that go by. I keep it minimized while I work or browse the web and when updates are found, it pops up a little notification with a preview. If I see an egg, I just click on it and it opens in a new tab in FireFox while I continue to work. More often than not, if eggs are made available by one of my FarmVille friends, I'll get one, and I barely have to be on Facebook at all during the day.

A piece I'm working on at the moment that reflects on childhood memories, secrets and innocence. My little boy's reaction to it was great. He crouched down and gasped as he peered in. He said he wished he could keep all those special treasures so he could look at them all the time. When my brother-in-law caught sight of it he said it made him think of playing marbles as a boy.

Secrets, Hints, Tips, And Tricks To Succeed In FarmVille on Facebook

12 days ago, I happened to look over someone's shoulder when they had FarmVille open. Before then, I had brushed it off as another lame community game I didn't have time for. It was at that time that I actually saw the game being played and decided to give it a shot. Over the last 12 days, I've been so successful at the game that I felt I just had to share some of what helped me rocket past many of my Facebook friends in the game. Grab a notepad or fire up the printer, because I have some great tips and tricks to help you do as well as I am in FarmVille. Just to prove my point, here's a screen shot of my farm from just minutes ago. Not bad for 12 days.

Farmville Tips

Get some friends
Yeah yeah. You have a lot of friends. But are they playing FarmVille? Some things (like acquiring more land) require certain amounts of friends. Make sure you engage some of your friends to be your FarmVille neighbors. If, like me, you don't want to spam people who hate all the online games, just watch your friends feed for those participating and add them. You can also go to the My Neighbors tab in the game to see all your friends who are playing and invite them to be your neighbor.

Be a helpful neighbor

The fewer secrets you have, the happier you will be.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie


This aphorism is partly about being open and forthcoming, but it is more about never doing anything that you would be ashamed to have everyone know about. If you always do what you know you should, you will never have to worry about keeping secrets.

The Man who Has Never Been Sick the Past 15 years

Is it possible to stop getting sick?  What would it be like to accomplish life free of physical setbacks and full of productive energy?

I just finished watching a video that literally flies in the face of everything I've known or been taught about health, sickness, and the immune system.  Over 7 days, I learned things like the 5 herbs that can fortify my immunity.  (The purpose of this immune system is to keep you healthy and protected, especially so in this H1N1 flu season!)   Ginseng, Vitamin C and zinc can increase the efficacy of the body's immunity system.

In one of his videos, he reveals "The Best Health Advice You're NOT Getting".

This man had setup his home tapped water in such a way that water in his pipes were practically made to run like freshwater river 24/7!  He said,"Water is life! If you drink something believing it will make you sick, even if it is pure fresh fruit juice, it WILL make you sick!"

But you do not need to do anything extreme about your tapped water supply if a stronger immunity is what you want, especially so in order not to catch H1N1 Swine Flu.  Are you wondering what his secrets of unshakable immune system are about?  

Who is he?  His name is David Wolfe, and if you don't know him, he happens to be the most recognized super-nutrition authority whose fans and clients include T. Harv Eker, Tony Robbins, Angela Bassett, Woody Harrelson, Mark Victor Hansen, and hundreds of thousands more.

He reveals step-by-step what to eat and what to do for immediate immunity transformation.

Watch his remarkable and refreshingly honest video hereor click on the banner to your right!  This is just the first of four FREE health-transforming, "never-before-revealed" videos that David has promised to share with you (over the next 7 days)  when you click the video link!

The commercial (payable) access will give you these:
* FREE 30-day Trial to BestWeekendEver.com
* The "$18k Tea Recipe and Demo" Video
* "Acai-Cacao Smoothie Demo with Frank Kern" Video
* "Detoxification Yoga Demonstration" Video
* "How to Make Your Body Say Yes to Weight Loss" Report (used to help women release 20, 50, even 100+ lbs)
* "Advanced Longevity Memory Improvement" Video
* EXCLUSIVE Longevity Customer-Only Questions & Answers Call with David Wolfe (this is a LIVE call where you actually get to speak to David one-to-one and ask him questions you've been dying to ask a dietician but never dared to ask before)

* "Advanced Longevity Lustrous Hair Secrets" Video

That's 6 videos, 1 report, 1 month free access to BestWeekend.com and an exclusive phone Q & A consultation with David Wolfe.
