What's causing all these logos to look the same?

A short term outlook leads to short sighted decisions and limits growth potential. Be long term greedy.

Be like a duck.

Remain calm on the surface and paddle like crazy underneath.

Nerd Alert!

The word 'nerd' apparently comes from the word 'knurd' which is 'drunk' spelled backwards.

Used to describe a person who studied more than they partied.

Sales 101:

Never quote your best price right out of the gate

Everyone wants to feel like they got a good deal, it's human nature

Realise that your first price is where the negotiations start, so if it's your best price you've boxed yourself in

“Looking back, I probably should have spent more time working on my startup than playing with my kids.”

Said no one, ever.

Pause for a moment today to experience this:

2:22:22 on 22/2/22

It will only happen once in your life!

(It also happens to be Tues, the 2nd day of the week)

[Brian Marin @brianmarin]

The date today is 22.02.2022 or 22.2.22.

It is a palindrome. It reads the same right to left and left to right.

It is also an ambigram. It can be read the same way upside down.

Some people believe palindromes are good luck. Carpe diem!

Never wrestle with a pig. You just get dirty and the pig enjoys it.

Crazy how often marketers optimize the hell out of every aspect of their ads to drive down CPA, but they spend no time looking at conversion rates.

Time kills all deals!
