MINI COURSE: The Top Five Excuses We Have Heard Over The Last Ten Years Of Join Up Dots (Part Four) Overcoming the belief of "I'm not talented/skilled enough" is crucial for personal and professional growth. This mindset often stems from comparing oneself to others, leading to feelings of inadequacy and self-doubt. However, there are effective ways to combat this negative thinking and build confidence in one's abilities. Acknowledge Your Strengths: Start by recognizing your unique strengths and talents. Everyone possesses different skills and abilities, and it's essential to celebrate what makes you special. Make a list of your accomplishments, skills, and experiences to remind yourself of your capabilities.Example: Look at J.K. Rowling, who faced numerous rejections before Harry Potter was finally published. Despite initial setbacks, she persisted and tapped into her talent for storytelling, ultimately becoming one of the most successful authors of all time. Set Realistic Goals: Break down your larger goals

MINI COURSE: The Top Five Excuses We Have Heard Over The Last Ten Years Of Join Up Dots (Part Three) "I would really like..." often signifies a passive longing for something without a clear plan of action. It's a statement of desire that lacks the commitment and determination necessary to turn that desire into reality. When someone repeatedly uses this phrase, it can create a pattern of wishful thinking, where aspirations remain unfulfilled due to a lack of proactive steps. For example, imagine someone saying, "I would really like to learn a new language." This statement reflects a desire without a specific plan of how to achieve it. Without taking action, such as enrolling in language classes, practicing regularly, or immersing oneself in the culture, the likelihood of actually learning a new language remains low. Similarly, consider someone expressing, "I would really like to advance in my career." While it's natural to have career aspirations, without setting specific goals or actively seeking opportunitie

MINI COURSE: The Top Five Excuses We Have Heard Over The Last Ten Years Of Join Up Dots (Part Two) Welcome to our podcast, where we explore the power of embracing imperfection and seizing the moment. In this episode, we dive deep into the common misconception of waiting for the perfect moment and how it often holds us back from achieving our dreams. Life is a beautiful, messy journey filled with unexpected twists and turns. Yet, too often, we find ourselves waiting for the stars to align, for all circumstances to be optimal, before we take action. But what if I told you that the perfect moment may never come? What if I told you that true progress is made through imperfect action? Join us as we challenge the notion of perfection and encourage you to adopt a mindset of "progress over perfection." Discover how taking bold, imperfect steps forward can lead to remarkable growth and fulfillment. Learn from the stories of successful individuals who have faced setbacks and challenges but chose to take action anyway.

Understanding the Excuse: "I don't have enough time" This is a convenient catch-all phrase that masks deeper issues. It's a defense mechanism against confronting the real challenges of prioritization, time management, and sometimes even fear of failure. When people utter this excuse, they're often expressing a sense of overwhelm or a feeling of being pulled in too many directions. Overcoming the Excuse:  Time Audit: Encourage individuals to conduct a thorough audit of their time. This involves tracking activities throughout the day to identify where time is being spent inefficiently. Tools like time-tracking apps or simple pen-and-paper logs can aid in this process. Prioritization: Once individuals have a clear picture of how they spend their time, they can prioritize tasks based on importance and urgency. This involves distinguishing between "busy work" and activities that contribute meaningfully to long-term goals. Boundary Setting: Boundaries are essential for protecting one's time and energy. This may inv

Business Interview: How To Convert Customers Directly Randy Rayess is today’s guest joining us on the Steve Jobs inspired Join Up Dots business podcast. He is the  co-founder of Outgrow, a new way to add interactive content on your business and website. He also has a very interesting backstory to where he is today Alongside his business partner Pratham, he started a mobile app development marketplace in 2012 called VenturePact. This was a site for entrepreneurs to connect with mobile development teams.  The challenge at that time was that mobile app development was relatively new, expensive and it was hard to assess the quality and hard to ensure you are getting a fair price. So this led them to create a marketplace to make it easy to find relevant teams but it was not easy to scale and acquire customers because of the pricing issues. Instead of them giving up and saying “This online game doesn't work” they put their heads together and came up with an idea to create a mobile app cost calculator.  How The Dots
