5 Steps to Master the Art of Negotiation

Wouldn’t it be a different world if everybody thought the way you did? If everybody spontaneously conformed to your every wish, your every thought, your every feeling? Since life doesn’t work that way, you would do well to become skilled at the art of negotiation.

In negotiation, after all, neither party holds all the aces. Instead, negotiation proceeds (or should proceed) on a rather level playing field. Since both parties want to win, what is the best way to proceed? Here are five steps.

1. Establish the relationship

The wise negotiator establishes the relationship before proceeding further. Doing so allows you to get a feeling for the person with whom you are dealing, and vice versa. Though often ignored, "feeling" itself is an essential part of negotiation. So, always be open and sincere. Honesty, integrity and dignity are palpable qualities, and the foundation upon which constructive negotiations are built.
You are best positioned to negotiate when the other party respects you, not only as a businessperson, but as a human being. Trust, which is gained through that respect, is the key to successful negotiation.

2. Choose 'honey over vinegar.'

You’ll do better with honey than with vinegar -- but the honey must be genuine. Never underestimate the natural ability of other people to sense who you really are. Disingenuous, manipulative and secretive are feelings that simply cannot be hidden.
When negotiating, you too can sense if the other party's values are subpar or lack integrity altogether. No greater red flag exists in the entire arena of negotiation.

3. Focus on the win-win.

Damz ft. Olamide x Niniola – Carry Am Go (Remix)

​​Known by his artistic name Damz, Athena Records frontline act “Damilare Odueso” who released his debut single Awelewa sometime last year (2014) is taking no chill as he enlists YBNL General ‘Olamide’ alongside the Ibadi and Soke crooner “Niniola” for the remix of his previously released DavStyle produced single entitled ”Carry Am Go”.
Unlike the regular, Damz decides to bring a different feel to the Remix of Carry Am Go by joining forces with Nigerian prolific “wicked” music producer Young John and they both came out with an extraordinarily good sound.
With Olamide delivering like he has never done before, Niniola blessing the joint with her angelic voice coupled with a well laced verse and Damz doing what he knows best i.e; stepping up with every release, the Remix of Carry Am Go is no doubt that song you’d happily add to your playlist without ignoring the repeat button.

CHANGE THE DESIGN OF YOUR SHOES ON THE FLY

Feel like changing the color or tone of your kicks? Want to add some funky design that only you would come up with? ShiftWear aims to make that a reality with its “badass sneakers” that can display custom designs on a whim, using an E Ink display and an app.
The New York-based startup is undergoing an Indiegogo campaign to raise $25,000 to finalize its prototype. The idea is to be able to choose different colors or designs and apply them to the E Ink display on the outer portion of the shoes. Beyond static designs and images, the shoes will be capable of displaying animations, too, the latter of which will apparently consume an untold amount of battery power. The static images, on the other hand, won’t.

They will support wireless charging and include “walk to charge” functionality to keep topping up the battery with each step taken. A backlight will also reportedly be included to help illuminate the designs in darker conditions so others can see them.

7 Signs You're Meant to Be an Entrepreneur

Being your own boss is not for everyone.
While entrepreneurship comes with freedom and flexibility, there is also a great deal of responsibility and an even greater need for discipline. Curious as to whether or not you would cut it as an entrepreneur? Here are seven telltale signs:

1. You’re a self-starter.

Taking initiative is crucial in entrepreneurship. No one is standing over your shoulder telling you to get things done. Vacation days don’t require a written request. There’s nowhere to clock in or out. Without extreme self-control and natural drive, work can fall to second to the many distractions of life.
A good indication that you’re a self-starter is your past involvement with groups or causes that didn’t provide you any monetary gain. In college, did you start an organization that wasn’t already established on campus? Do you volunteer for a charity in your community? Having a get-it-done personality could help you bring your vision to life more easily.

2. Passion is prevalent.

A blasé attitude is not associated with overwhelming success as an entrepreneur. If you don’t genuinely love what you’re doing, it will be hard to overcome the inevitable obstacles. Starting your own business is rarely an overnight success. From lack of customers to profits, it’s not easy street. Without an undeniable passion for the industry you’re entering, it will be difficult to stay afloat among the disappointments and hard times ahead.

3. You possess people skills.

Facebook lets you know when celebrities are streaming live video

No, Facebook isn't opening up its live streaming feature to the hoi polloi just yet, but it does have the next best thing. It's rolling out a subscription feature to Facebook Live that lets you know the next time your favorite celebrity starts a stream. You'll have to tap the button on a live video (seriously, shouldn't this always be available?), but it'll keep you in the loop the next time a star has a big announcement or Q&A. Clearly, Facebook isn't worried about competing directly with Twitter's Periscope right now -- it's more interested in boosting the profiles of its best-known users than giving everyone a chance to share their lives on camera.

The Only 9 Things You Need to Know About Selling

    If somebody told me years ago that a future generation of would-be entrepreneurs would learn how to sell from a bunch of writers, researchers, and consultants who’ve never sold a product or managed a sales force in their lives, I wouldn’t have believed it.
And yet, here we are. The blogosphere and bookstores are full of content from what I can only describe as self-serving shysters with a cool gimmick and an inspirational story to sucker small business owners into coughing up their hard-earned money.
Luckily, I’m not one of them. You can tell because my hand isn’t in your pocket. More importantly, I cut my teeth as a sales engineer in a highly competitive industry and ended up running sales and marketing for several high-tech companies.
And while no article – or book, for that matter – can really teach you how to be a great salesperson, I can definitely share some interesting and counter-intuitive insights that took me a while to figure out, starting with the do's and don’t's of delivering a sales pitch:
1.Selling is a marathon, not a sprint. Selling is a process – an often long and arduous one. The bigger the deal, the longer it takes and the more hoops you have to jump through. On the plus side, you’ll have more time to build a solid foundation for an enduring relationship. If you want to be the last one standing at the end, don’t push too hard in the beginning.
2.You’re always selling. Whether you’re pitching a new concept to investors, a potential partner to join you, or your board on a risky strategy, you’re more or less always selling something. And if you’re not aware of that, you’re not going to do the right thing to ensure your best chance of success. Truth is, even sales people spend more time selling their own company than their customers.

Apple Music Comes To Android in native

 

  Today, Apple Music comes to Android phones. It’s the first user-centric app that Apple has created for Android (but not its first). Do you smell collabration in the air of this two tech giants?

As people download(via google play store) and dissect it, they’ll doubtless be looking at how Apple builds on Android, what features are ported over from iOS and what Apple’s pan-operating-system Music philosophy looks like in the mobile age.  Apple’s SVP of Internet Software and Services, Eddy Cue, said these things.

“We’ve obviously been really excited about the response we’ve gotten to Apple Music. People love the human curation aspects of it, discovery, radio,” says Cue, launching into the reason for our chat. “But from the moment we got into music, many, many years ago, we’ve always wanted to do things for everyone when it came down to music. Part of that was letting you enjoy your music no matter where you were and what products you were using.”

Which brings us to the beta version of Apple Music for Android, which launches today in all of the countries Apple has Music for iOS in — except for China, where it will be launching a beta ‘very soon’. Apple Music is very similar to the version on iOS. It comes complete with a 3-month free trial. The prices are the same worldwide. It requires Android 4.3 or later and works with For You, New, Radio and Beats 1, Connect and My Music. 

“So if you’ve got another device with Apple Music and you’ve got your whole music library in the cloud you can access it from

How Long Should You Push Before Giving Up?

Becoming an entrepreneur takes fortitude. There will be obstacles to overcome and naysayers to ignore. That entrepreneurs are stubborn is hardly surprising -- it’s practically required.

When I was young, I believed the secret to success was simple: I had to work harder than the next guy. The only way I would fail, I rationalized, is if I quit. These days, I look at projects I take on a little differently.

You see, I’ve been working on bringing the same technology to market for almost 20 years now. When I began trying to license the innovation -- a rotating label -- I received rejection letter after rejection letter. There were so many that I could have wallpapered my home with them twice over. If I had followed the advice I give today, I might have walked away at that point. But I didn’t.

Companies had told me they loved the idea. It obviously had huge market potential. Think about how many cylindrical products have labels on them. Implementing it was going to be very expensive and time-consuming, though, I learned in time. But, “So what?” I thought. I was capable of hard work.

I was just naive enough

US Army lab develops a way to read soldiers' brains

 

  Military intelligence analysts spend a lot of time scrutinizing countless images from various sources, such as drones and surveillance systems. An automated program developed by cognitive neuroscientist Dr. Anthony Ries, however, can make the process a lot faster. Ries works for a US Army research facility called the "The MIND (Mission Impact Through Neurotechnology Design) Lab," which has just began testing a program that can interpret brain waves. In simpler words: it can read human minds. During a recent test, he hooked up a soldier to an EEG connected to one of the lab's desktop computers and asked him to look at a series of images on screen flashing at a rate of one per second. Each image falls under one of five categories -- boats, pandas, strawberries, butterflies and chandeliers.
The computer revealed by the end of the experiment that the soldier chose to focus on images that fall under the boat category. How did it know? By taking note of the changes in the subject's brain waves. The soldier produced distinct brain wave patterns whenever he looked at something he deemed "relevant." In time, analysts can use the system to view large images cut up into smaller sections (called chips) to quickly find items of interest.
Ries explains:

Whenever the Soldier or analyst detects something they deem important, it triggers this recognition response. Only those chips that contain a feature that is relevant to the Soldier at the time -- a vehicle, or something out of the ordinary, somebody digging by the side of the road, those sorts of things -- trigger this response of recognizing something important.

For now, the scientist plans to continue improving the system and adding new features, including eye control. In fact, he already tested the capability at the same time by asking a soldier to play a simple video game on a separate computer. The subject was instructed to shoot a bubble at a cluster of other bubbles and to aim for the same color just by moving his eyeballs, which he successfully did.

One thing we have done is instead of having people view images at the center of the screen, we're leveraging eye-tracking to know whenever they fixate on a particular region of space. We can extract the neural signal, time-locked to that fixation, and look for a similar target response signal. Then you don't have to constrain the image to the center of the screen. Instead, you can present an image and the analyst can manually scan through it and whenever they fixate on an item of interest, that particular region can be flagged.

This is what critics have concluded despite not actually knowing the details behind uBeam’s wireless power technology. So rather than let the rumors swirl, today uBeam revealed a bunch of details about how far, how fast, and just plain how it can charge a phone without wires.

The Essential Guide to Writing a Business Plan

President Dwight D. Eisenhower once said, “In preparing for battle I have always found that plans are useless, but planning is indispensable.” If you’re starting a business, you should have a business plan regardless of whether you’re bootstrapping it or looking for outside funding.
The best sorts of business plans tell a clear story of what the company plans to do and how it will do it. Given the high failure rate of startups in their first year, a business plan is also an ideal opportunity to safely test out the feasibility of a business and spot flaws, set aside unrealistic projections and identify and analyze the competition.
A business plan doesn’t need to be complicated, but for it to serve its purpose and set you up for success, it must be clear to whomever is reading your plan that you have a realistic handle on the why and how your business will be a success.
To get you moving in the right direction, here’s a guide on how to write a business plan.

Overall tips

There’s a lot of advice in the infosphere about how to write a business plan, but there’s no single correct way. Your approach depends on your industry, who is reading your plan and what the plan is intended for. Are you trying to get funding? Sara Sutton Fell, founder of FlexJobs, a job site for flexible telecommuting jobs, says her business plan was an initiator for more in-depth conversation with potential investors. “A plan does help to see if investors and entrepreneurs are on the same page with general expectations for the business,” she says.
A business plan serves many purposes, but there is universal consensus on the following when it comes to your business plan:

• Have several versions tailored for specific audiences: “One of the mistakes that inexperienced business owners make is not understanding who they’re writing the plan for,” says David Ciccarelli, a small business owner who got consultation from his local Small Business Association (SBA) when he was starting his company Voices.com, which connects employers with voiceover talent.
• Your plan is a living document: Tim Berry, the founder of a business planning software company Palo Alto Software, took his company from zero to $5 million in sales in its first three years. To do so requires frequent review and close tracking, says Berry, who met with his management team every month to review the plan versus what actually happened -- and then to revise. “There is no virtue to sticking to a plan if it’s not useful and responsive to what actually happens,” he cautions.
• Be realistic about financial estimates and projections: “When you present a plan to bankers and financiers, or even to your employees, people will get way more excited about what’s real rather than some huge thing that’s never going to happen,” says Ciccarelli. So present an achievable sales forecasts based on bottom-upwards information (i.e. how many units per month get sold in how many stores) and stop over projecting profits.
• Writing your business plan is about the process and having a blueprint: Your business plan “reflects your ideas, intuitions, instincts and insights about your business and its future,” according to Write Your Business Plan (Entrepreneur, 2015). The plan serves as a safe way to test these out before you commit to a course of action. And once you get your business going, the plan also serves as a reference point. “I still print the document,” says Ciccarelli. “You’re capturing it in time. If you’re changing it all the time, you kind of don’t remember where you were last year.”
• Back up any claims: Follow up your projections and assertions with statistics, facts or quotes from a knowledgeable source to lend your plan credibility.
• Presentation counts: Reading any long, text-heavy document is hard on the eyes, so format with this in mind. Consider formatting your text pages into two-columns and break up long passages with charts or graphs. Arial, Verdana or Times New Roman are standard industry fonts.

Writing your business plan isn’t busy work or a luxury; it’s a vital part of the process of starting a business and arms you with information you need to know. So, let’s get into what information goes into your business plan.

Type on an invisible keyboard with the Gest motion-control glove

So much about computers has changed over the years: processors and computing power have grown, and so have screens, mice, and our other gadgets and accessories. Yet, despite all these advances and changes, most of us still use keyboards that look nearly  identical to the ones people were using two decades ago. Looking at the way keyboards have lagged behind, the startup team behind Gest decided to put control into the hands of the user — literally.

In a nutshell, the Gest device is a three dimensional, gesture-based input tool that lets you navigate your computer display with hand motions. The device features a main band around the frame of the hand, and finger extensions that are designed to fit like a glove, literally. Each hand controller is packed with 15 different sensors, including accelerometers, gyroscopes, and magnetometers.

  These internal mechanics allow Gest to work more like a smart phone than a traditional motion capture system. Because it relies on sensors instead of a camera, Gest doesn’t need complex gesture recognition algorithms, and can therefore understand movements more quickly and reliably.

7 Behaviors of Millionaire Entrepreneurs

Becoming a millionaire isn’t an accident. It takes business owners decades to accomplish this rare feat. Many people look at these successful individuals and assume they must be lucky or born into wealth. But in reality, this is usually far from the truth. Becoming a millionaire takes work, focus and productive habits.
Studying and emulating the behaviors of millionaire entrepreneurs can help you develop discipline and the habits that catapult entrepreneurs to the next level. With that in mind, here are seven behaviors of millionaire entrepreneurs you can learn from:

1. Start early.

Do you rush into your day responding to dozens of emails and letting other people define your priorities for you? Successful entrepreneurs, such as Peter Shankman, founder of HARO and The Geek Factory, are early risers. Shankman gets up at 4:30 every morning to allow for a workout before networking and building relationships -- all before his competitors even sip their first coffee.

2. Learn constantly.

Keeping up in their industries is important for millionaire entrepreneurs, but so is regularly expanding their mindset and worldview. Russell Sarder, who runs the multimillion dollar NetCom Learning, makes time to read every day. Even during the business week, he reads one or two hours a day. By consistently learning, he’s able to bring new insights into his work that help define his business.

3. Make a budget and stick to it.

As unexciting as it sounds, budgeting in both your business and your personal life is essential to becoming a millionaire. In the book The Millionaire Next Door, authors Thomas Stanley and William Danko discovered that self-made millionaires diligently tend to the ebb and flow of their bank accounts. No matter how wealthy they become, that behavior doesn’t change -- which is why they stay wealthy.

4. Don’t be afraid to work hard.

The reason “get rich quick” schemes are so popular is that it’s very appealing to get something for nothing. Not for millionaire entrepreneurs. Gary Vaynerchuk makes this very clear in his hilarious rant about people’s focus on “passive income." He points out that no one gets truly wealthy without putting in the serious work.

5. Make clear goals.

Millionaire entrepreneurs know exactly what they’re working towards. They have clear timelines attached to their dreams. They know what they want to do in the next four weeks, the next six months and the next five years. Studies show that writing down your goals, making clear action steps and sharing those goals with supporters makes it 78 percent more likely that you’ll achieve a goal than simply thinking about it.

6. Be willing to fail.

Being afraid of failure is going to hold you back from becoming a millionaire. Successful entrepreneurs aren’t afraid to step outside their comfort zones and take a new risk, because they realize that failure is a learning process -- not a final judgment on their ventures. Millionaire entrepreneur Farrah Gray discussed the importance of depersonalizing failure in an interview with Black Enterprise.

7. Take time off.

Stopping is hard for any entrepreneur, but many millionaires have realized its importance. Arianna Huffington admits she wishes she could go back and tell her younger self that her performance would actually improve if she committed to unplugging, recharging and renewing herself periodically. Taking time to relax allows new creative ideas to come to the forefront, which helps increase your wealth.
Becoming a millionaire isn’t something that happens by luck or heredity -- it’s a matter of hard work and intention. Embrace the habits of these entrepreneurs and hone your own habits to follow in their footsteps.

Pastor Joel Osteen Reveals the 2 Words That Can Motivate You to Pursue Your Dreams

For 17 years, pastor Joel Osteen was happy to work behind the scenes, running television production for his dad’s ministry in Houston. Osteen’s dad encouraged him to preach, but Osteen’s head wasn’t in it. He didn’t see himself on stage and his nerves didn’t help.
“My personality was low key, behind the scenes. I never pictured myself doing it," Osteen told me as we sat in the stadium seats at San Francisco’s AT&T Park, less than 24 hours before he would preach to a sold-out crowd of 40,000. "I would have loved to because I saw my dad speak in front of a lot of people. I just didn’t think it was in me.”
I caught up with Osteen, the senior pastor of America’s largest church, to talk about his new book, The Power of I AM. The book’s principle is simple and profound: Whatever follows the words “I am” will find you.  Speak words of victory, successes will find you. Speak words of defeat, and failures will find you.
“Joel, this principle applies to public speaking,” I suggested. “If someone says, ‘I am a terrible speaker. I am boring. Nobody wants to listen to me,’ you won’t be your best. If you say positive things, you’ll feel better and people will connect with you.”
Osteen responded: “Absolutely, that’s 100 percent true. When I started I was afraid. I didn’t feel I was that good. But I had to say to myself, ‘You can do this, you’re confident, you’re strong.’ It can sound corny, but if you don’t talk to yourself the right way you can talk yourself out of your dreams.”
Some people might dismiss this advice as “affirmations” that don’t work. I couldn’t disagree more. I’ve studied communication for 25 years and I can confidently say that, when it comes to excellence in almost any field -- especially communication and public speaking -- how you think is everything. The day you change the way you see yourself as a speaker, the speaker your audience sees will change.
