How to Know if Your Launch Will be Successful

by | Apr 11, 2016 | ,

You have a product ready. You know it will change people’s lives. The question you ask yourself now is: “Will my launch be successful?” How can you know if your launch will be successful?

Will be product launch be successful?

The Guarantee of Success

Humans are intrinsically wired to do things which have a certain guarantee of success. Even climbing Mount Everest, where 1.6% of climbers die trying, has a success rate of 50%. In other words, you are 31 times more likely to reach the summit than die…sounds appealing.

My book vs. my voices: The battle within

As I stepped out into the cold night air, foolishly forgetting that I no longer live in the south and wearing only shorts, a T-Shirt, and slippers, a horrifying thought gripped me.

Act as If | Act Like Who You Want to Be

by | Aug 23, 2013 |

What do you really want to be?

What do you really want to do?

What do you really want to have?

Act as if

Those are three powerful questions that you probably rarely ask yourself. More likely you say things like:

“If only I ____.”
