Do you see the school in this picture?
In order to be and stay successful in business, we must continually use the world as our classroom.
I’m in sales, so I load up on retail classes. I walk through malls with no intention to buy – only to learn: which colors are in, which products are becoming more popular, which items are attracting people’s attention, how prices have changed, etc.
And I also look for the non-obvious things, like people’s expressions when they browse and buy - how each product seems to make them feel. Which age groups are attracted to which items.
I walk down every aisle in the supermarket, to do the same.
I sell to sports fans specifically, so every time I’m at a game, I take some time out to walk 360° around the stadium, to see: which players are moving people to buy jerseys and other items, which items themselves are moving people, if anything I’ve never seen before has come out, etc.
(If you want to know which styles are in fashion, go to your nearest department store and check out what’s on the racks.)
Heck, you don’t even need to leave the house anymore to learn from the world. Did you know that the equivalent of 8 years of content are uploaded to YouTube every day? If you’re not using YouTube to learn, you’re falling behind.
Do you consider yourself a student? Even if your last day of school was years ago, you should.
I just want to say Thank You to everyone who supported me through the years. My name is Manuel Franco, New Berlin, Wisconsin. My story of how I won the Powerball lottery of $768.4M is a bit of a tale. I have been playing Powerball tickets for 6 years now since I turned 18. I bought my first ticket on my 18 birthday. I was feeling very lucky that day because I had contacted Dr. Odunga Michael to help me with the winning Powerball numbers. I really had that great great feeling that I looked at the camera wanting to wink at it. I only did a tiny part of it and trusted him. He gave me the numbers after I played a couple other tickets along with it for $10. I checked my ticket after the winnings came online and saw the numbers were correct including the Power play. I screamed for about 10 minutes because it felt like a dream. I had won $768.4M. You can check my winning testimony with the lottery officials just with my name search. Thank you Dr Odunga. Well, his email is odungaspelltemple@gmail.com and you can also call or Whats-app him at +2348167159012 so you guys can contact him
