Frequently Asked Questions
What are the three most important lessons from history?
History is full of examples of how we can learn from our mistakes. These lessons can be applied to the challenges of business today and turned into opportunities for growth.
Our past has shown us that there's always another way. There's always someone out there that thinks outside the box, and takes risks that make him or her stand out.
History shows us that often, it's the underdogs and not the winners who win. You can look back at those times when the underdog won.
Look to the past and find ways to bring the lessons forward into the future. Learn from the failures and successes of others.
Use these lessons to help you improve your success rate.
What can we learn from Abraham Lincoln?
Abraham Lincoln said, "I am slow to learn; very quick to forget."
He understood the importance of learning and knew that he would eventually need to let go of old habits in order to embrace new ones.
The same applies to our businesses. No matter how much we plan for success in the future, there will always be times when we are unable to move forward and end up stuck in a rut.
It's important to keep learning and growing. If we are to achieve the pinnacle, we must keep learning.
Lincoln had the right mindset. He understood that his business could be more successful, but he couldn’t afford to stop learning.
There are two types of entrepreneurs. Two types of entrepreneurs exist: those who stay busy and those with smart ideas.
Those who stay active focus on growing their business. They focus on customer service and marketing strategies.
They may feel like they've accomplished something meaningful, but often they're missing the mark. These entrepreneurs will not achieve sustainable growth unless they are focused on becoming smarter.
What separates successful entrepreneurs from average ones? Ability to quickly adapt to changing situations.
Successionable entrepreneurs look for ways that they can improve their products or services when faced with difficult situations.
Average entrepreneurs, on the other hand, stick to old methods that don't work anymore. They won't change until their business is destroyed.
To be successful, you have to master both the art and skill of self-reflection.
What is the most valuable thing that you have learned in history?
This question doesn't have an easy answer. Learning is about three things. We must first realize that knowledge is power. We must also recognize the fact that knowledge is cumulative. Third, knowledge is constantly changing.
Knowledge is power. It allows us to make better decisions, and improve our lives. If we had all the information, it wouldn't be difficult to make decisions. We'd do what we want, without worrying about whether it was correct or not.
Knowledge is power, but it can also be cumulative. Once we have learned something, we can continue adding knowledge to our brains. As time goes on, we become smarter. Knowledge accumulates.
Let's move on to the next point. Knowledge isn't static. Knowledge is always changing. Scientists discover new theories and facts every day. Every day, scientists discover new facts and theories.
Technology is a key component of our culture. It allows us to instantly access information. Technology allows us to store huge amounts of data electronically and share it with millions around the globe.
Globalization has influenced the way we look at knowledge, in addition to technology. Globalization refers simply to the process by which ideas or products spread beyond borders. Knowledge is now easily accessible all over the world because of globalization.
The internet allows anyone to access information any where in the world. You can watch movies, browse the internet, listen or play music and read books. All of these activities require knowledge.
Information is becoming more accessible and more specialized. You can find thousands of websites that offer advice on subjects such as finance, health, business, sports, and travel. These sites offer information on nearly every topic possible.
If you want to buy a car online, however, you will likely only find a few dozen websites that provide automotive-related services. You won't find thousands of websites covering every subject. Instead, you'll only find a handful that deal with cars.
Experts in specific fields are able to create and share valuable knowledge. Experts often have an in-depth knowledge of a subject. Experts have the ability to create high-quality content specifically for their audience.
Because they don't have to look through tons of unimportant information, this is a good thing for consumers. Instead, they can focus their attention on a handful of websites with lots of useful content.
Experts also gain from specialization, as they can create strong businesses around the expertise that they have. The buyer of a book expects the author will be knowledgeable enough to explain the subject clearly and concisely. He wants to know that the author has understood his message.
Experts who do not specialize risk losing potential customers.
Specialization isn't limited to just one area. Today, most of us are specialists in many different areas. It could be that we are an accountant, a lawyer or a doctor. Or a teacher. We are also likely to be parents, spouses and friends.
Experts argue that specialization is so common that it's impossible for one person to be an expert in all aspects of the same thing.
How can you become an expert in multiple fields? The answer is simple: practice. It takes practice to master a skill. And when you make progress, you keep going until you reach a level where people recognize your expertise.
There are many industries that help others achieve this goal. You can learn how to quickly acquire knowledge through workshops, seminars, conferences and schools.
Do we have to learn history in order to avoid making the same mistakes as before?
Because we make the same mistakes over and over again, history repeats itself. We make mistakes and fail to learn. We don't change. We become complacent. We settle to mediocrity.
History also repeats itself because we keep believing the same old stories. We are conditioned to believe in immutable truths and immutable rules. These laws are unchangeable and we have no control over them.
This makes it difficult to think critically. It prevents us from questioning authority. By challenging assumptions. And when we don't question, we don't grow. When we don't learn, we stagnate. Stamina is when we continue to make the same mistakes.
Because we make the same mistakes, history doesn't have to repeat itself. History repeats itself because we don't learn from our errors and keep making the same mistakes.
You can end the cycle of history repetition by changing the way that you view the world. By understanding that nothing is permanent, you can see the possibilities. There is no set in stone. Everything is subject to constant flux.
To break the cycle, embrace uncertainty. Accept that things might go wrong. To accept the possibility of failure. To accept that failure is a possibility.
Accept that you may never achieve your goals. Acceptance is a part of learning, but it's important to continue improving.
If you hold fast to certainty, you'll always be stuck in the past. You'll never move forward if you cling to the idea that there are fixed truths.
Freedom is only possible if you are willing to let go. If you want progress, you need to let go of control.

How To
How did marketing history turn into propaganda?
The term "propaganda" was first used in 1879 when German sociologist Max Weber coined the word from the Greek word "praopagos" which means "to speak well." The word came from the Latin verb "propere," meaning "nearby" or "at hand," and the noun "agogos," meaning "speech or discourse." It is a systematic attempt at shaping attitudes and behaviors.
George Orwell, British journalist and author of "Propaganda," wrote that propaganda was not intended to convince people to believe anything. He only wanted to change their beliefs...
Edward Bernays (1891 – 1995), who was Sigmund Freud’s nephew and psychoanalyst became well-known after he inventing the term "public relation" in 1922. He said that "the conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in a democratic society." He created the public relations firm Bernays & Company in 1927. He worked there until 1955.
Bernays invented an "engineering permission" technique, which allowed him to influence public opinion through publicity and advertising campaigns. His methods were later adopted by mass media outlets such as Time Magazine and CBS News. Bernays became a close collaborator with corporations and government agencies in order to influence public opinion after World War II. Johnson & Johnson (General Electric), Procter & Gamble; Coca-Cola; Ford Motor Company; U.S. Department of Defense; American Tobacco Company; DuPont, Rayonier and the United States Chamber of Commerce were just a few of his clients.
His most famous client was the tobacco business. He assisted Philip Morris in launching a campaign to stop smoking. In 1939, the Surgeon General recommended that smoking should be banned inside. The Cigarette Advertising Act of 1965 was passed. This law prohibited any cigarette advertising in print media, such as magazines, newspapers, or television.
He also gave advice to President Franklin D Roosevelt about how to manage the growing labor movement during Great Depression. Bernays recommended that the president declare a war on hunger and use federal government power to ensure adequate food supply. This strategy made the government look like a benevolent father figure and helped the president win re-election in 1936.
As the popularity of radio increased, Bernays started promoting the idea of "radio listening" to increase sales of radios. He also introduced the concept of "branding" and "advertising" in the early 1930s. He believed that consumers could be influenced by appealing to their emotional side and making them feel special. He promoted the slogan, "Have I got what it takes?" in 1933, encouraging women to buy war bonds.
In 1944, he established the political action committee "Young People for Freedom". This group had one goal: to encourage Americans aged between 18 and 30 to vote Republican. Bernays' efforts proved successful when Dwight Eisenhower won the presidential election in 1952.
Bernays persuaded CIA to set up a coup in Iran. Shah Reza Pahlevi took over Mohammad Mosaddegh's place. He justified this move as necessary to prevent Mosaddegh from nationalizing Iranian oil fields. Bernays wrote articles praiseing the new regime after the coup as "moderate," progressive, and modernized.
Bernays was the recipient of many other awards over his entire career.
