You survey your customers to ask whether they'd buy a new product. The response is positive, and you launch the product, only to have it fail spectacularly. While that's super frustrating (and has happened to me as well), the key is that your customers' actions speak louder than their words. At the end of the day, the one thing that counts is if they take out their wallets --- or not. Instead of asking your customers … [Read more...] about 4 Golden Rules of Marketing That Will Never Change

However, here are 4 key things you can do now, even when you don't earn all that much, to set yourself up for an absolutely enviable financial future. Learn to use your credit card like a boss: pay zero interest and zero fees Your credit card only accumulates interest when you don't pay it in full. Even the smallest amount outstanding, starts the meter on the interest. The best thing you can do is set up standing instructions to pay the outstanding amount each time. Pay off your balance every month - this way you have all the benefits of a credit card, without paying a single paisa to the bank in interest. A trap you must avoid is having multiple credit cards - it's much harder to track your expenses when they're spread out over multiple cards.

As the Second Global Ocean Conference opens today in Lisbon, governments in Asia and the Pacific must seize the opportunity to enhance cooperation and solidarity to address a host of challenges that endanger what is a lifeline for millions of people in the region. If done right, ocean action will also be climate action but this will require working in concert on a few fronts. First, we must invest in and support science and technology to produce key solutions. Strengthening science-policy interfaces to bridge practitioners and policymakers contributes to a sound understanding of ocean-climate synergies. This in turn enables better policy design. Additionally, policy support tools can help governments identify and prioritise actions through policy, Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) tracking and scenario development. We must also make the invisible visible through ocean data: just three of 10 targets for SDG 14, "Life Below Water", are measurable in Asia and the Pacific.

TAMPA BAY, Fla. – The NHL’s worst team only five years ago, the Avalanche completed its journey to the top of the hockey world Sunday night, defeating the Tampa Bay Lightning 2-1 to win the Stanley Cup for the first time in 21 years. The Avalanche, which won the series in six games and dethroned the two-time defending champion Lighting, completed a tour de force postseason. It never trailed in any of its four series, never dropped consecutive games and went 16-4. And the clinching win was its 10th come-from-behind victory, tying a league record. The Avs received second-period goals from center Nathan MacKinnon and winger Artturi Lehkonen. The third period was 20 minutes of high drama … most of it produced by the Avalanche.

Price controls on chicken and eggs — the cheapest sources of protein — and higher-end cooking oil will be relaxed. So far, Malaysians by and large have been relatively sheltered from the effects of rising global inflation. Other than eating out, which has become significantly more expensive, households have absorbed the increasing prices of goods and services well. Thanks to subsidies and control mechanisms, most of the commonly consumed items and utilities such as gas for cooking and petrol are in adequate supply. Unlike in Sri Lanka, Malaysians do not have to queue in long lines for petrol or cooking gas cylinders. In situations where price controls are not effective, the government intervenes in the supply-demand dynamics with measures to divert food to the domestic market, … [Read more...] about Alternative Views: ‘Chickenomics’ highlights eroding value of ringgit
