SELF IMPROVEMENT AND MOTIVATION

Right from our childhood, we have been brainwashed and forced to believe that,  "If you wanna do anything big, you have to dream big and set big goals" and yada yada yada. And so many of us do set BIG goals: "I wanna be the entrepreneur of the century" "I wanna be the best piano player ever" "I wanna be the next Federer" Now, well, it might look like a noble task to do from the outside, But here's the thing,  Anybody and I mean any goddamn body can DREAM BIG. Think about it,  It hardly takes a minute to prop up a big ass dream Or set an insanely ambitious goal.  But how many of us are actually able to do anything for real? Not many.  The reason? HABITS ! Come to think of it,  Both the winners and the losers have the same goals, It's their HABITS that differentiate one from the other. And that's what most of us overlook. Having good habits without a goal is much much better than having a great goal without any concrete habits. You'...

Internet leads are a very important part of dealerships’ business. Think about it! Before you make any big financial decision in life (unless you’re hugely impulsive like me), you usually do lots of research, almost all of which is online! The day of the brochure is almost dead. Today, when prospective customers are researching their new vehicle, it’s a lot different than in the pre-digital age, where they would show up at the dealership and ask to see the car and a brochure.

While we may not have as much physical showroom traffic as in years past, more customers interact with dealerships than ever. Most of this interaction is through digital leads. Since we cannot capitalize on every potential customer making a dealership visit, how do we turn ...

If you know one thing about Americans, it’s that they love their cars. That’s one reason why there are at least 16,676 car dealerships in the US, and some are more profitable than others.

It may also sell a variety of certified pre-owned vehicles.

While it's comfortable to find camaraderie with people most like you, there are some drawbacks to not diversifying your social network. This article discusses those pitfalls and provides some tips on how you can diversify your circle of friends. Homogenous Social Circles Many people seek friendships with the people they feel they can relate to. If you're white, you may notice many of your friends are also white.
