Frequently Asked Questions
What are three things that you can learn from the past?
There are numerous examples throughout history that demonstrate how we can learn and improve from our mistakes. These lessons can be applied today to business problems and used as opportunities for growth.
The past has taught us that there is always a better way. There's always someone out there that thinks outside the box, and takes risks that make him or her stand out.
History also shows that sometimes it's the underdogs who triumph. When you feel overwhelmed, stuck or lost, think back to the times when they won.
Look to the past and find ways to bring the lessons forward into the future. Learn from the failures and successes of others.
These lessons can help increase your success rates.
What Can We Learn From Abraham Lincoln?
Abraham Lincoln once said, "I am slow learning; very quick forgetting."
He was conscious of how important it was for him to keep learning. He also understood that he would eventually have to learn new habits.
This is true for our businesses as well. We will hit roadblocks sometimes, and get stuck in unproductive ruts no matter how many times we plan for our success.
It's important to keep learning and growing. If nothing else is important, we must learn more, even after we have reached the pinnacle.
Lincoln was the right person. He knew that he could improve his business' effectiveness, but he couldn’t stop learning.
There are two types of entrepreneurs. Two types of entrepreneurs exist: those who stay busy and those with smart ideas.
People who are always busy work solely to grow their businesses. They spend their time on product development and marketing, as well as customer service.
Although they may feel they have achieved something significant, they often miss the mark. These entrepreneurs will not achieve sustainable growth unless they are focused on becoming smarter.
What is the difference between successful entrepreneurs and average entrepreneurs? The ability to adapt quickly to changing circumstances.
Successful entrepreneurs are always looking for ways to improve the products and services they offer when faced with difficulties.
However, the average entrepreneur will stick with outdated methods that do not work. They won't change until their business is destroyed.
To succeed, you must master both the art of adaptation and self-reflection.
Is it possible to learn from the past and not repeat past mistakes?
History repeats itself, because we continue to make the same mistakes repeatedly. We fail to learn from our mistakes. We don't change. We get complacent. We settle for mediocrity.
History repeats itself when we believe the same old stories. We live in a world where we've been conditioned to believe that there are fixed truths and immutable laws. That we cannot do anything to affect them.
This is a way to stop us from thinking critically. To question authority. Questioning authority. When we do not question, we stagnate. And when we don't grow, we stagnate. If we stagnate, then we make the exact same mistakes.
However, history does not repeat itself because we keep making the same mistakes. We don't learn from our mistakes, and we keep repeating the same mistakes over and over.
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. Everything is subject to constant flux. All things are subject to constant change.
Accepting uncertainty is the key to breaking this cycle. Accepting the possibility of things going wrong. Accepting the possibility that we might not succeed. Accept that failure may be possible.
Accept the fact that you might not reach your goals. Accept that you may not achieve your goals. However, it is important to keep working towards improving.
To hold on to the past is to be certain. If you hold on to the belief that there are certain truths, you'll never be able to move forward.
You must let go if you want to be free. To move forward, you must give up control.
Who said that history doesn't teach the ignorant?
We all wish to live in a world where everyone learns from the past, but there are more valuable things than learning from our mistakes.
You can't learn anything better than trying it wrong.
The most serious mistake is to try to make it right the first go.
As long you keep making adjustments, you'll eventually see the reason you made them.
You might even realize that you could have done this better the first attempt.
However, that doesn't mean you should not try again. That's a sign that you have learned a lot.
Even though you cannot avoid making mistakes completely, you can minimize them. That's what makes the difference between success or failure.
It all starts with acknowledging your mistakes. Take a step back and look at your mistakes objectively. Then ask yourself, "What did you learn?"
You'll find that mistakes can be viewed as lessons if you are honest with yourself. They're learning experiences that can help you grow.
Thomas Edison had to go through the exact same thing. He failed many more times before he invented the lightbulb.
He didn't let his failures discourage him. Instead, he saw each failure as an opportunity for improvement in his design.
He invented the best form of lighting that is popular today.
So, if you fail, don't get discouraged. Learn from your mistakes. Use them.
Then try again.

How To
How did marketing history become propaganda?
The term "propaganda", as it is commonly known, was first used by Max Weber (1879), a German sociologist. He derived the term from the Greek "praopagos", meaning "to speak well." The Latin verb propaganda, which means "nearby" or at hand, and the noun "agogos," which means "speech or speech," is the source of the word. It is "a systematic effort towards shaping attitudes and behaviour."
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 believed that "the conscious manipulation of the organised habits and opinions by the masses is an integral part of a democratic nation." He created the public relations firm Bernays & Company in 1927. He worked there until 1955.
From the 1920s to the 1950s, Bernays developed an "engineering consent" technique - influencing public opinion through advertising and publicity campaigns. His methods were later adopted in mass media such as Time Magazines, CBS News and NBC News. Bernays began to work closely with corporations, government agencies, and individuals 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.
The tobacco industry was his most prominent client. Philip Morris, who he assisted in developing a campaign against smoking was the most prominent client. The campaign resulted from the SurgeonGeneral recommending that smoking be banned indoors. The Cigarette Advertising Act was passed in 1965. It prohibited any advertisement for cigarettes in print media including newspapers and television.
He also offered advice to President Franklin D Roosevelt concerning how to deal the Great Depression's growing labor movement. Bernays advised that the president declare "war on Hunger" and use federal government's power in order to ensure adequate food. This strategy made the government seem like a loving father figure, and it helped the president win his re-election bid in 1936.
As the popularity of radio increased, Bernays started promoting the idea of "radio listening" to increase sales of radios. He introduced the concepts "branding" (and "advertising") in the 1930s. He believed that customers could be motivated by appealing to their emotional side, and making them feel unique. For example, he promoted the slogan "Have you 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 was created to encourage Americans between the ages of 18 and 30 to vote Republican. Dwight Eisenhower was elected president in 1952 after Bernays' efforts were successful.
Bernays convinced CIA in 1953 to stage a coup d'etat in Iran. Shah Reza Pahlevi would replace Mohammad Mosaddegh. This was done to stop Mosaddegh's nationalization of 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.
