How To Attract The Customers You Want

Author: Sean D'Souza

Nothing bugs you more than a painful client. A client who hassles you at every step of the way. A client who won’t pay on time. A client who takes up so much of your energy that you get drained. I used to have clients like that And then at some point I stopped getting […]

The Choice Paradox: Why Customers Want More And Less Simultaneously

Author: Sean D'Souza

Take out that cell phone from your bag.
 And look at the features. It can tell time; it can be a stopwatch; it can keep diary 
appointments; it can help you pass time with ingenious
 little games; it can probably take photos; send text messages;
 maybe even double up as an mp3 player or a torch. You could probably […]

How To Beat Inertia And Why Logic Doesn’t Work

Author: Sean D'Souza

How To Beat Inertia—The Resistance Game

Is resistance a game? It can feel a bit like that when you’re almost always on the losing team. But often the reason why we lose to resistance is because we don’t realise how the brain works.

Imagine this. Imagine you move into a neighbourhood and a neighbour brings across a big cake. What happens to you instantly? There you are, with all your unpacked boxes, a to-do list so long it stretches all the way to Geneva and all that you can think of, is how to pay that person back. […]

The Science of Making Mistakes

Author: Sean D'Souza
