  • Have you ever wondered how Southwest used "activity fit" to make their airline uncopy-able? Or how Urban outfitters settled on a market niche targeting self-important city-dwellers?
    We'll use Michael Porter's famous article, "What Is Strategy?" to tackle these questions and more in this special Hipster--Kombucha! Kale! Fixies!--summary of Porter's article. I think this is the most useful business strategy article ever written, and it's great for anyone:
    * Trying to tackle a thorny strategy problem at work
    * Prepping for a job interview
    * Studying for your business exams
    In the video, you can see my summary of Porter's 3 key strategies mixing in examples from from the article (Southwest), my own teaching materials (Lyft), and, just because, things hipsters like--Avocado Toast, anyone?
    Entirely Unnecessary jokes:
    How did the hipster burn his tongue? He drank his coffee before it was cool.
    How many hipsters does it take to change a light bulb? You haven't heard of it. It's an obscure number.

      Is better to understand how the bizz is " racolated /enrolled/ recruited " for changing from ___ into ____ ...]]] ] the management of the views and how they affect negative or positive incomes. #value myth a #sheet plan . Because if one has the wrong strategy it will fail. Is not like you can aquire anyone. You can find the right segment and promote it with professional strategic level. Than if you dont know how and with whom and you did not had a goal a common goal/shared vision than is like you have lost future revenues and profie and earned the brand equity and fame. You bulid a trusted brand with agreements from all the partys or else you can lead your self your own business and your own actions .

      Hey fam, I hope that you and your loved ones are well. I would like to ask you the most important question ever asked:
      Who is Jesus? Not who is He to you. Rather, who is He really?
      Jesus is the Son of God, who came to the world as a man. He lived a perfect and sinless life . Even though He was perfect and sinless, on the cross of Calvary God wrathfully punished Him for the sins of the world. 3 days later He rose from death. Now He is seated at the right hand of God, ruling as King over Heaven and Earth.
      On the judgment day He will judge you, me and every human being that has ever lived. Those who believed in Him will enter eternal joy with Him, but those who did not believe in Jesus will be sent to eternal condemnation.
      So turn from your sins and believe in the Jesus. Believe and hope that you can be forgiven for all your sins because of His death and resurrection. He took your place in Hell, so that if you submit to Him as your Lord and God, you can be forgiven and take His place in heaven- you will be made sinnless and perfect before the Holy Father. He'll also give you a new heart and mind that can love and obey Him.
      Jesus lives so that you can have true life and freedom, and most importantly so that you can have an eternally peaceful relationship with God.
      You are dead, and Jesus is your Hope of love.
      Acts 15:11
      ”On the contrary, we believe it is through the grace of the Lord Jesus that we are saved, just as they are."
      Ephesians 1:7
      ”In Him, we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace"
      Ephesians 2:8
      ”For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not from yourselves; it is the gift of God,”
      John 11:25-26: "Jesus said to her, 'I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?'
      1 Corinthians 6:14: "And God raised the Lord and will also raise us up by his power."
      Romans 6:9: "We know that Christ, being raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has dominion over him."
