Here are some tools to help you stay productive and connected to your team. That travel, when not properly planned or managed, can seriously impact not only the productivity of the person traveling but everyone whose work is linked to that individual. Its hard enough keeping track of meetings when you’re physically in an office and working with different teams. But keeping track gets more intense when your team is scattered around the globe and you’re traveling.

Key Takeaways:

Technology has given us the ability to grow any business to a global level quickly, with remote workers around the world and multi-site operations at our fingertips. Still, despite our digital connectivity, global and multi-site operations still require travel — in some cases, a lot of it.
And that travel, when not properly planned or managed, can seriously impact not only the productivity of the person traveling, but everyone whose work is linked to that individual.
I myself travel pretty extensively around the world for work, to speak at conferences and of course for leisure activities. Because I run a handful of companies, my team is distributed across several time zones.

“Having a lot of remote teams can create snags for collaboration, so we lean heavily on Google for a lot of applications. This is true for file storage, as well as Google Docs, for reviewing and working together on content.”

Finally, you can use your collected dat to make a more personalized experience with your clients.

Key Takeaways:

The “internet of things” (IoT) concept is in its nascent stage of development, but it is on the verge of exploding.
To put its development into context of another more recent phenomenon, this is the stage of development in which MySpace was attracting the earliest adopters in the then-burgeoning social media industry.
Simply stated, there are many more iterations of the IoT universe until this concept reaches public consciousness.

“Given that many durable goods products require continuous replenishment, notably detergents, fabric softeners or printer ink, there is an opportunity to automate the ordering process.”

From the outside, LinkedIn Groups might appear to be less popular than ever, as recent changes and new restrictions make groups seem smaller and less active. Yet, while at first these changes may seem a bad omen, they are not the result of a decline in the feature’s popularity. They actually reflect a substantial increase in LinkedIn Groups’ exclusivity. And that’s great for your sales.

Earlier this month, about a week before Donald Trump’s inauguration, the Department of Homeland Security proposed increasing the minimum investment amount required for the EB-5 program to $1.35 million in a “targeted employment area,” up from $500,000 currently. A targeted employment area is an area with high unemployment or a rural area. The proposal suggests raising the minimum investment to $1.8 million for developments in low- to average-unemployment areas, up from the current $1 million.

Most people realize that things are not always going to go their way, but what they don’t realize is being negative is good too. These are what you can call truth statements, something that can be negative, but may need to be realized. It can help you see mistakes, but also fix them.

Key Takeaways:

Continually focusing on the negative actually creates more negative. That’s expectancy theory. Expectancy theory states that whatever you focus on expands.
The great thing about expectancy theory is that it works every bit as well with the positive as it does with the negative.
A truth statement is a statement that contains as much or more truth than the re-occurring negative statement, but rather emphasizes strength or something positive.

“Continually focusing on the negative actually creates more negative.”

The online job market is a place of fast growing skills. Some are really fast growing and they deserve a mention. Natural language processing is considered the fastest growing. And the 4th one is Amazon Marketplace Web Services (MWS). Instagram marketing is one skill on the list that does not require any technical skills.

Key Takeaways:

Freelancers who know natural language processing earned an average hourly rate of $123 per hour, and the total amount that they billed soared by 2300 percent last quarter from a year earlier.
Only about 400 freelancers currently list the skill on their Upwork profile, and the fourth quarter was the first time that there was a significant pool of freelancers with this talent, according to the company.
The nascent boom in these jobs also foreshadows the employment that advances in artificial intelligence could create, even while they replace other human tasks.
