How to Improve All Aspects of Your Life?

Here’s how tiny changes in your day can make a big difference in your life:

  • Start with one good habit and make it a routine. Once that’s easy, add more good habits. Don’t change everything at once.
  • Find a habit that makes it easier to do other good things. If you start exercising, you might also find it easier to eat healthy and sleep better.
  • Instead of forcing yourself to make good choices, let your good habit lead the way. If you drink water when you wake up, let that help you choose a healthy breakfast.

Are You Wrong About Your Customers?

Traditional “best practices” like $.99 pricing aren’t always optimal.

Canva found charging $15 instead of $14.99 performed better.

The point is… Challenge your core assumptions by running experiments, as market behaviors and customer preferences often change and defy conventional wisdom.
