Warrior strategies to help you thrive in 2021

22 January, 2021

Contributed by Tui Cordemans, an entrepreneur based in Melbourne, Australia. Tui is the cofounder and creative director at Koh Living.

When I ponder over the concept of uncertainty and how uncertain we are feeling about 2021, I realise that in reality, the future is never certain.  So why do we worry about it now?

Think about your years as an adolescent or young adult. Did you focus on the future and its certainty or uncertainty? Probably not. The young can often live in the moment more easily.

I practice yoga regularly, and when I am doing my yoga poses, I consciously bring myself to the present moment; when I achieve that moment, I feel much stronger in my poses. If professional athletes took their minds off the present moment, they could compromise their balance and the game.

Today’s entrepreneurs weigh in: Is entrepreneurship a lonely journey?

20 January, 2021

entrepreneurs organizationAt the core of Entrepreneurs’ Organization‘s mission is helping entrepreneurs achieve their full potential. And one of the most powerful ways to accomplish this is by encouraging valuable experience sharing. Insights and lessons from peers around the world are the key benefits of EO membership. 

When asked if entrepreneurship is lonely, EO members shared these thoughts. 

“There are things you can do to make sure you’re not alone”

Andrea Grisdale, founder and CEO at IC Bellagio and a member of EO Italy

Becoming part of the EO was one of the best decisions that I have ever made to make sure that I wasn’t alone.

The opportunity to meet personally (or virtually in 2020) with a group of trusted entrepreneurs who run a variety of businesses, to be able to share experiences, and to be able to learn from each other in a safe and trusted environment is second-to-none.

EO has given me so many educational opportunities that have been: (1) worth their weight in gold; and (2) perfect for spending time with people who are “in the same boat”.

Defending your organization from misinformation with neuroscience

15 January, 2021
disinformation

Contributed by Dr. Gleb Tsipursky, disaster avoidance expert, speaker and author. 

Whenever you hear something repeated, it feels more true when you hear it repeated. In other words, repetition makes any statement seem more true. So anything you hear will feel more true each time you hear it again.

Do you see what I did there? Each of the three sentences above conveyed the same message. Yet each time you read the next sentence, it felt more and more true. Cognitive neuroscientists like myself call this the “illusory truth effect.”

Go back and recall your experience reading the first sentence. It probably felt strange and disconcerting, perhaps with a tone of outrage, as in “I don’t believe things more if they’re repeated!”

Reading the second sentence did not inspire such a strong reaction. Your reaction to the third sentence was tame by comparison.

Why? Because of a phenomenon called “cognitive fluency,” meaning how easily we process information. Much of our vulnerability to deception in all areas of life—including misinformation—revolves around cognitive fluency in one way or another.

How e-commerce entrepreneurs can fight fraudulent actors

13 January, 2021
e-commerce entrepreneur

Contributed by Matt Shealy,  president of ChamberofCommerce.com.

In 2019, the United States’ Federal Trade Commission (FTC) received more than 650,000 reports of identity fraud. Of these, 45 percent stemmed from credit card fraud: Scammers opening up accounts or taking over accounts to make fraudulent purchases online.

These are just the cases that were reported to the FTC. More than 14 million people in the US are victims of identity fraud each year. As we know, however, they aren’t the only victims. Merchants doing business online are losing billions each year to e-commerce fraud.

EO members on the Inc. 5000 list share how they start their day

8 January, 2021

start the dayIt’s a new year—but are you stuck in the same old rut? Inspired by host Dave Will’s EO 360 podcast with Hal Elrod, author of The Miracle Morning, we asked some of the 287 EO-member companies on the Inc. 5000 list how they start their day.

Here’s what they shared:

“I start my day with 10 minutes of meditation, 10 minutes of reading something positive, and 10 minutes of writing in a journal, then it’s out the door to exercise. I learned this from Warren Rustand at my first EO chapter learning event almost 10 years ago. I sometimes miss a day due to travel, but I have a goal to never miss two days in a row.”
― Jeff Becker, EO San Diego, Founder and CEO, Pegasus Cleanroom Services, No. 3,901 on 2020 Inc. 5000
