Wimbledon

 Those that know me, know that I'm a huge Manchester United fan, but I also watch other sports occasionally and today obviously was the final of Wimbledon: Djokovic, who was recently kicked out of Australia, against bad-boy Australian player Kyrgios, who is known for his wild parties and romps.

The game was enthralling but as we watched on our screens, we also saw many shots of different celebrities, who had come to watch the match, in the crowd.

That, ladies and gentlemen, is basically a simple marketing trick.

Once you see those celebs at the match, you become interested in being part of it the next year, buying tickets in the hope that you might have a chance of being next to fame. A chance perhaps of bumping into a celeb, who will say hello, or the opportunity to give an elevator pitch and maybe gain their interest and make new connections.

For those that don't know what an elevator pitch is: imagine you go into an elevator and the CEO of a company is there beside you as you travel up the floors. You have 15 seconds to get him or her interested enough in your product to want to hear more and to learn more about it.

A few months ago, I was invited to a party at the Israeli Embassy in London.

Now to get to London from Manchester is a two and a half hour train + tube ride. Train fares in the UK are not cheap, but I knew there will be powerful and connected people there who can help me. So I went and networked and worked the room, passing out business cards and schmoozing. As a result, several people wanted to explore possible collaborations and a UK A-lister celeb is now following me on my socials and wanting to meet up with me. This is a network that could eventually be used in my favour.

The lesson is if you have an opportunity to go places where even if there's a slight chance you'll see someone with fame or connections, you should always take that opportunity as you might get the chance to change your life.

Congrats to the winner of Wimbledon 2022, Novak Djokovic!

Reflection of a year to Blog

It has been just over a year since I started publishing my blog. I started writing a blog on the advice of Hillel Fuld in order to enhance my career and get more people informed about what I do. Unfortunately, as of yet, that hasn't happened, Hillel doesn't get everything right. But in a way, the blog has become a sanctuary for me to talk about my achievements, air my grievances, and let myself feel better in life. I think through the blog I have found clarity in myself on different aspects of my life, I have learned things about myself and what is necessary for me to change and I have learned skills I have that I never thought I needed or could utilise.  In sales, one must believe in the product to sell it. Through the blog, I learned that I need to believe in myself in order to sell myself. It has given me the confidence to push for things I wouldn't have necessarily done. This weekend, I was talking to a friend Martin Heimann who owns a telecommunications company in Manc...

My country is at war

I had written my blog for August and September, they were going to go up very soon but I can't put up trivial things when my country is at war, when my people and friends have been kidnapped and murdered by terrorists calling themselves freedom fighters for Palestine.  Make no mistake Hamas is not Palestine and does not represent any faction of Palestine, they are a terrorist group that cause harm to the Palestinian cause. Any person that harms civilians for their own benefit is evil. Hamas, besides the atrocities they committed last week, use civilians as bait , not allowing them to get to safety and making sure their terrorist headquarters are in vulnerable areas such as childrens' schools and UN hospitals.  As a Zionist Israeli and a left wing activist, the horror on both sides is intense, I lost friends and colleagues; innocent people, civilians who wanted to live. Also in Gaza, people have died due to being held hostage by Hamas, over 200 Israelis have been kidnapped by...
