Story of an entrepreneur

Once upon a time, I came upon this entrepreneur in the middle of my trip
He is someone from a not so well to do family and as such, he had nothing to lose
In fact, almost everyone from his class had nothing to lose
He worked his way up in construction industry to be his own boss now(I saw a sun tanned face)
His advice to me and probably everyone else: Be your own boss!

Posting from the future

There's been option to publish posts in the future for blogs for quite some time
How about online discussion boards?

Coffeeshop owner for a day?

Welcome to Lifestyle Experience Economy
where you can finally be a coffeshop owner/actor in music video for a day
Who would be the first one?


Existing Lifestyle Experience Provider- i.e. Richard Branson's plane to the outer spaces for the riches

updated: just found out there's a job term for it
experience architect.

the job entails creating a lasting encounter for the consumer, whether it is with products, building, or events. The experience architect must make sure that the experiences are memorable in a positive way, so that the consumer would want to attend again. Also, another point was that the experience architect should always give something special to the customer, so that it will lead to good karma. They must be able to find an experience out of everything, where they can turn everything into extraordinary feats. One example of the experience architect performing a good job would be the anti-freeze story, where the customer was able to say time and effort would premixed antifreeze. With this, architects are able to profit off of the experience. Another point that Kelley makes is about the trigger points for experience architects. There must be one or two essential elements that make up the experience. Kelley also advices that companies "mix-it-up" in terms of products to make the experience stand out more

get $12X worth of prepaid mobile talktime for only $2X

Singapore's mobile prepaid industry has witnessed a major change since Singtel introduced hot! 100 mobile prepaid reload whereby one can get $100 worth of calls by just reload $28.

By 2007, Singtel grabbed enough market share from other mobile prepaid operators to force them to introduce their equivalent versions of reload $28, get $1xx worth of calls with 50 days validity.

Did you guys ever wondered how Singtel got this wonderful idea? Singtel copied it off from its subsidiary, Optus Mobile Prepaid which has introduced such cap plans in Australia couple of years back.

How it works out? Simple. A certain percentages will never be able to finish off their calling minutes. And then a certain percentages will not able to reload before the end of validity thus forfeited their credits(Calling cards with super duper calling rates but expired within 3/6 months anyone ?)
