I was browsing through a popular national publication when I noticed an article written about Creating Global Digital Empires® This immediately caught my attention due to the fact that I own that trademark and the fact that the author who wrote this article interviewed me a year earlier on guess what topic? You guessed right! I picked up the phone, called up the author, who apologized for not knowing that this was trademarked by me.

I continue to get most of my valuation and coaching work through LinkedIn. Part of the reason is that I stay on top of the changes LI makes to my profile that my leads and prospects see. So I hope last week’s conversation about the latest LI profile changes was helpful and that you take advantage of the suggested workarounds. On to this week. From TED curator Chris Anderson: Speaking isn’t an optional extra for the few.

Below is a success story I recently received from a CaseInterview.com student about the success they had using a set case interview practice routine. I found the idea of a set practice routine very interesting for several reasons. First, it takes a lot of the thinking out of the administrative aspects of case practice. There's no decision as to what to do today, you can just sit down and be productive very quickly.

A friend asked me a riff in jazz of: I’m planning on quitting my job in a month. I want to start freelancing. What should I do to get my first client? I told them that the most valuable thing they could do would be to go out and get rejected by 10 business owners in their target market. If they did that in a month, they’d be miles ahead of the game by the time they quit their job.

To practice problem structuring in a case interview I recommend practicing the process of setting a hypothesis and devising an issue tree that tests your hypothesis. It is okay if you are slow at the process in the beginning. the key is that you understand the process. For better proficiency and speed, you just need to practice. You can force yourself to use the process every day for everyday decisions.

There was a column in the Seattle Times Sunday business section a few months ago titled, “ Early Retirement Can Be Hazardous.” This was a financial column, so the focus was on running out of money. It triggered the thought about what exactly is retirement and why there is so much focus and advertising about it. The government created the concept of retirement as we know it when Social Security was started in the 1930’s.

I was on holiday with my family in France in late Spring 2016, a regular trip for us to get our fill of croissants, moules-frites and some early sun and sand. As we left a restaurant one lunchtime, I was surprised to be accosted by a well-dressed French woman: “You’re not leaving us, are you?” she asked, distress in her voice. Since we had definitely paid the bill, it took me a few minutes to work out what she was asking.

It’s the blockbusters that get all the hype. The home runs, the viral videos, the hits. It’s the sudden shifts, the ideas that change everything, the fell swoops. Fell swoops seem like they’re worth chasing, but a hit isn’t a strategy, it’s an event. Nice work if you can get it, but hard to plan on or build on. It takes patience to avoid planning on swoops.

There are lots of little things that separate a candidate who does a good job on a case vs. an excellent job. While it's not necessary to be perfect on every case, it is necessary to come pretty close most of the time. It is far easier to have a higher success rate and be more consistent if you have good habits and are using them in a disciplined fashion.
