The first DEX on Cardano – MuesliSwap – But does it work?

Decentralised Exchanges (DEX) are crucial in distributing cryptocurrencies and tokens to the masses. Traditional centralised exchanges such as Coinbase have a high bar to entry and are out of reach for smaller developers looking to promote their latest crypto project.

Ethereum has a number of decentralised exchanges, including UniSwap, PancakeSwap, SushiSwap etc. All of these allow you to swap or exchange ERC20 tokens. (Tokens created on the Ethereum blockchain). But Ethereum fees are hefty. Cardano has reasonable fees but thus far no working DEX. So what’s up with Cardano?

Cardano DEX issues

Up till now (Dec 2021) there have been rumblings of a working DEX for Cardano, in particular SundaeSwap. The launch of such a DEX would be revolutionary for Cardano, allowing native token creators to trade tokens on the market freely, without the incursion of middlemen. However, numerous delays have meant nothing has materialised until now.

Out of nowhere a new contender to the title of the first working DEX on Cardano, enter MuesliSwap! Why the name MuesliSwap? Apparently, following on from the Ethereum DEX food-based nomenclature and Muesli because the anonymous dev team are Swiss.

Amongst cries of scam from various reaches of the Twittersphere, MuesliSwap has pipped other DEX development teams at the post and left them standing. But, the vital questions remain, is it a scam and most importantly does it work? In this article, I test it out with real cash (ADA) and report the results. Here we go…

First things first. You need to go to the Cardano MuesliSwap site. https://ada.muesliswap.com/

Muesliswap also has an operational DEX for Smart Bitcoin Cash (whoever these guys are they’ve not been sleeping at the wheel), so ensure you’re on the right site.

The site announces reassuringly – “This is a Mainnet Beta version – Use at your own risk”. Mmm…

Connect your wallet

Next, you need to connect your digital wallet to the site. Probably best to create a fresh wallet, bearing in mind the above. MuesliSwap uses the Nami wallet which can be found here:

https://namiwallet.io/

Select the correct install for your browser.

As always when creating a wallet for crypto you will need to save your passphrases, in this case, a series of 24 random words and a password. Proceed by clicking the Nami logo to connect your newly created wallet. So far, so good.

Next, I funded the wallet with some ADA and proceeded to see what tokens are on offer to trade.

Tokens Available

Click ‘Markets’ then ‘Trading’ on the left menu and a list of tokens will be displayed. Currently, there are only 11 tokens listed on the DEX, not many at all. Many of the eleven appear to be meme type coins such as HOSKY (a Shiba Inu type coin), CARDOGEO etc. More serious offerings include MILK, MuesliSwap’s own token and World Mobile Token (WMT).

Hopefully, once this platform has been proved to work the choice of tokens will be expanded upon.

Buy Tokens

Next, I tried to purchase some MILK tokens. I clicked on the MILK logo and was met with a list of Buy and Sell orders. The live charts appear to be a work in progress as nothing was displayed.

Just select the buy order that suits your budget. You will be met with a pop up of your order.

If you have enough ADA in your wallet to complete the transaction the Submit button will become active. Transaction fees appear reasonably low at just 0.4 ADA.

Next, I held my breath and clicked ‘Submit’. If this failed my precious ADA could be lost to the ether, forever.

Up popped a Transaction Sign Request.

I clicked sign, and tentatively entered the password…

Great! A reassuring ‘Transaction Successful’ pop up was displayed. But would my tokens arrive?

Order in progress

I clicked ‘My Orders’ on the left menu…

A big sigh of relief, I could see my order of MILK in the queue. But would it appear in my wallet?

I clicked the Nami logo in my browser and nothing. Refreshed and still nothing. Tried for the third time and then amazingly MILK was delivered, (pun intended).

I tested with a a couple of other tokens (HOSKY) and World Mobile Token (WMT) and all were delivered successfully without fuss to my new Nami wallet, great!

Conclusion.

Obviously, this test is limited. As the warning states; ‘use at your own risk’ but this protocol appears to be genuine and most importantly actually works! Since you store no ADA on the platform, your ADA seems to be safe, especially if you use a new wallet for purchases. Only time will tell if MuesliSwap can get quality projects to list on their DEX and build significant traction.

The User Interface is OK-ish, with some work in progress and it appears big things are in the pipeline with ‘Launchpads’ for new tokens planned. The worry for MuesliSwap is that with an anonymous team coming from nowhere trust may be too low to allow mass adoption within the Cardano community. Only time will tell.

Next time, I’ll see if we can get our Pop Up World Token (PUW) listed on MuesliSwap, watch this space (subscribe below) to see how you can get your token listed too!

Top Ten Cryptocurrencies Explained

Entrepreneurs take note; cryptocurrency has been described as the next technological revolution. Don’t know your Dogecoin from your Shib? If so, this article is for you! We break down the top ten cryptocurrencies by Market Capitalisation (circulating supply multiplied by price) or the total value of supply. Market Cap can vary minute by minute so some coins may drift in and out of the top ten. Here goes…

1. Bitcoin (BTC)

Bitcoin is the granddaddy of cryptocurrencies. Launched in 2009 by a mysterious individual named Satoshi Nakamoto. The purpose was to create a decentralised digital currency. Bitcoins are created by a process called ‘mining’, miners use their computing processing power to solve algorithms that in turn help validate the Blockchain. The Blockchain put simply is a digital ledger or list of all transactions that have taken place. The blockchain is important because there is no centralised ownership, so it cannot be easily modified or manipulated. It’s no coincidence that Bitcoin was launched following the 2008 financial crisis. Bitcoin’s code is open-source, so anyone can use it to create their own blockchain and cryptocurrency.

Total Supply: 21 Million

Bitcoin Whitepaper

2. Ethereum (ETH)

Ethereum was launched in 2015 by Vitalik Buterin. Once again the purpose was to create a decentralised, open-source blockchain but this time with added functionality. Ethereum allows users to run decentralised applications on it (Dapps). Decentralised finance applications are possible (Defi) that aim to provide financial service without the need of banks, brokerages or other middlemen.

Ethereum like Bitcoin is created by the mining process, however, plans are afoot to move to a ‘proof of stake model’ It has been argued that mining (proof of work) is bad for the environment since vast amounts of energy are required to power computer processors. With proof of stake, users are rewarded for the crypto they hold rather than the power of their computer processor.

Unlike Bitcoin, users can create their own tokens or digital assets on top of Ethereum (ERC-20 tokens). It’s also possible to create NFT’s (Non-Fungible Tokens). The advantages are numerous but in short, Ethereum makes it relatively easy for users to create their own digital assets and cryptocurrencies on top of the main blockchain. Many have described Ethereum as the Internet of cryptocurrency.

Total supply: 112 Million

Ethereum Whitepaper

3. Binance Coin (BNB)

Binance Coin is the cryptocurrency asset of exchange Binance which is one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges in the world. Binance was founded by Changpeng Zhao originally in China, the coin was launched in 2017. Despite being one of the largest exchanges Binance has faced regulatory pressure having to leave China and then an investigation by US and UK regulators. Binance Coin is an ERC-20 token built on Ethereum. The token can be used to pay for fees on the Binance exchange.

Total supply: 200 Million

Binance Whitepaper

4. Solana (SOL)

Solana was created in 2017 by Anatoly Yakovenko as a solution to the throughput problems associated with Bitcoin and Ethereum. Solana claims to be able to process over 2500 transactions per second. Solana is a decentralised blockchain, that much like Ethereum allows users to create applications on top. Solana claims to solve scalability issues such as the increasing fees (gas fees) applied to user transactions on Ethereum. Much like Ethereum, Solana offers a growing eco-system of Defi, Dapps and NFTs. Users can also create their own digital tokens (SPL Token) much like the Ethereum ERC-20 system.

Total Supply: 500 Million

Solana Whitepaper

5. Tether (USDT)

Tether was launched by CEO Reeve Collins in 2014 after a rename from “RealCoin”. Tether is known as a “stable coin”. The idea is that Tether should follow the value of the US Dollar and that 1 Tether should be equal to 1 USD. There has been significant controversy as to whether Tethers are backed by actual US dollars. Tether is launched on Bitcoin (Omni and Liquid Protocol), Ethereum, EOS, Tron, Algorand, SLP and OMG blockchains. The idea is that users can easily use fiat currencies in blockchains without the associated volatility of digital currencies.

Total Supply: There is no supply limit to Tether as long as each Tether is backed by the US Dollar.

Tether Whitepaper

6. Cardano (ADA)

Cardano was founded in 2015 by Ethereum co-founder Charles Hoskinson. Cardano is a decentralised blockchain with its own digital currency, ADA. Unlike Ethereum and Bitcoin Cardano works on the ‘proof of stake’ consensus meaning that validation is much more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly. Much like Ethereum and Solana, users can create their own native digital tokens, NFT’s and applications using smart contracts. The Cardano blockchain is divided into two separate layers; the Cardano Settlement Layer (CSL) and the Cardano Computing Layer (CCL). The Settlement Layer allows for all the transactions and the Computer Layer is where all the applications will be run. With this in mind, Cardano claim 1 million transactions per second will be possible.

Total Supply: 45 Billion

Cardano Whitepaper

7. XRP (XRP)

XRP is the native cryptocurrency of payment network Ripple. Ripple is built on an open-source protocol and claims to allow, “secure, instantly and nearly free global financial transactions of any size with no chargebacks”. Founded by Jed McCaleb in 2014, Ripple offers decentralised financial solutions for real-world applications. The back-story of Ripple has been controversial, in 2020 Ripple Labs were sued by the Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) for selling the XRP token, which the SEC asserted were unregistered securities. As a result, Coinbase one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges del-listed XRP in Jan 2021. The lawsuit continues.

Total Supply: 100 Billion

XRP Whitepaper

8. Polkadot (DOT)

Polkadot offers a decentralised network that allows an interconnected internet of blockchains. The idea is to, “connect private and consortium chains, public and permissionless networks, oracles, and future technologies that are yet to be created”. Launched in 2020, the protocol was created by Ethereum co-founder Gavin Wood and like Cardano utilises the proof of stake consensus. Polkadot introduces the concept of ‘Parachains’, Parachains are custom blockchains that are integrated within the Polkadot network.

Total Supply: 1 Billion

Polkadot Whitepaper

9. Dogecoin(DOGE)

Dogecoin is a decentralised digital currency that allows users to easily send money online. The cryptocurrency was originally created as a ‘joke’ by software engineers Billy Markus, Jackson Palmer in 2013. Dogecoin utilises the image of the Shiba Inu dog from the “Doge” meme that became popular in 2013. Dogecoin states that it is a “fun and friendly cryptocurrency”. The coin is often mentioned by entrepreneur Elon Musk, boosting its popularity in recent times. Like Bitcoin, Dogecoin utilises the proof of work consensus. Dogecoin is built on a ‘fork’ of Bitcoin called Litecoin. Unlike Litecoin and other cryptocurrencies, there are no maximum supply limits, every minute 10,000 Dogecoins are added to the supply.

Total Supply: Unlimited

Dogecoin Whitepaper – None

10. USD Coin (USDC)

USD Coin is a “stable coin” and much like Tether is pinned to the US Dollar. USD Coin was founded by a consortium called “Centre” of which Coinbase and Circle are members. Launched in 2018, the Circle co-founders are Jeremy Allaire and Sean Neville. The main advantage of USD Coin is one of stability, Circle claims that each USD coin is backed by one US Dollar or other “approved investments”. USD tokens are based on the Ethereum ERC-20 system. USD coin claims to be “cheaper and more secure than existing payment systems”.

Total Supply: No maximum supply

USD Coin Whitepaper

Other Mentions:

11. Shiba Inu (SHIB)

At the time of writing, Shiba Inu slipped out of the top ten but warrants a mention. Shiba Inu is a decentralised ‘meme’ token much like Dogecoin. Unlike Dogecoin, Shiba Inu has developed an ecosystem. Created in 2020 by an anonymous person called, “Ryoshi” the coin is an Ethereum ERC-20 token. As such Shiba Inu is proof of work and transitioning to proof of stake. Shiba Inu has a huge supply of 1 Quadrillion coins. 50% were sent to Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin and 50% were locked in Uniswap, (a decentralised exchange for ERC-20 tokens). Vitalik subsequently sent 60% to India to combat Covid-19 and burnt the remainder to a dead wallet. Shibu Inu has developed its own decentralised exchange (DEX) Shibaswap. Users can exchange tokens and deposit tokens in ‘liquidity pools’ to earn interest.

Total Supply: 1 Quadrillion (100,000,000,000,000)

Shiba Inu Whitepaper

12. PopUpWorld token (PUW)

The PopUpWorld token (PUW) is the digital token of Pop Up World. Pop Up World is a platform and digital eco-system of apps and services that aim to assist start-ups, entrepreneurs and small businesses scale their projects. Launched in 2020 by entrepreneur Graham Jules the PopUpWorld token is based on the Cardano blockchain. The token is used as a reward for activity on the platform and in the future will be used to fund member projects.

Total Supply: 77.7 Billion

How Do You Spot A Scam?

As an entrepreneur, you are likely to receive countless offers, deals and proposals coming your way. But how do you differentiate genuine opportunities from a potential scam? This article aims to clarify the murky waters.

Verify the company.

Put simply, ensure that any company you deal with actually exists! This is easily done by checking with the company registration body in the jurisdiction of the company. In the UK you would need to check with Companies House.

In the US you would need to look at the departments in each US State for company registration details. If the company implies in its promotional material that it is incorporated and does not appear in any official register that could be a major red flag.

Verify the physical address.

It’s very important that you find out where the company is located. If the offer were to go sour, where would you serve your demands?

If you followed the steps above you would know that the company actually exists, but do the address details match? You need to compare the official record and check if the address matches the contact details that appear in the promotional material.

Double-check there are not any additional office locations that may not appear in the official record. A simple search online for the name of the company should reveal any. If the details do not match, the promotional material may be a scam.

Who are the owners or founders?

This step is especially important if you are dealing with an individual rather than an incorporated company. Does the promotional material offer up the full name of the founder?

Can you verify the name of the founder in the company registration records as described above? What do you see when you search for the name of the founder online?

Do they have articles and write-ups in known publications? Do they have a website? Or is there barely anything at all? If the founder is anonymous, this founder could be very new or it could easily be a scam, tread carefully.

Is there a contact telephone number?

Any legitimate business should have a contact telephone number. Does the contact number match those in official records? What happens if you call the number, is the number active? Watch out for premium rate number scams.

Are you being contacted from a free email domain?

If you get any promotional offer from a Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo, etc address you need to have your guard up. Any legitimate company would have their own company domain with associated email, for example, “info@companyxyz.com”. A free email domain suggests that the person reaching out for business is, at best new to the game or at worst, a possible scam.

How long has the website been active?

A simple check on sites like https://www.whois.com/ will reveal how long the website has been active for. Enter the domain name of the website, ie (xyzcompany.com) Pay particular attention to the “Registered On” date. If this date is quite recent, either this company is very new or it could be a scam.

Does the website have terms and conditions?

If the website does not have any terms and conditions or there is no website at all this could be a big warning sign. Most companies are very eager to state their terms of business for obvious reasons. If there are none, you could be dealing with a scam.

For crypto, check on the relevant blockchain.

For cryptocurrency offerings ensure that the coin, token or asset actually exists by searching on the relevant blockchain.

For Ethereum assets:

https://etherscan.io/tokens

For Cardano based assets:

https://cardanoscan.io/tokens

For Binance based tokens or assets.

https://www.bscscan.com/tokens

Is the company registered with a recognised body?

If the company is offering financial services this activity is usually regulated in most jurisdictions. You would need to check the FCA in the UK and the SEC, in the USA. As before, the company should be incorporated and you should check if it appears in any official company registration database. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/overseas-registries/overseas-registries

Double-check you are dealing with the genuine company or individual.

So, you’ve done the checks on the company or on the founder and it all looks good. But how sure are you that the person reaching out is who they say they are? Scammers will sometimes pose as individuals or companies with a recognised fake profile to get through the steps above.

You should reach out via an official website or use contact details from the official register to verify this is the genuine company or individual.

Do not rely on social media alone to verify your contact.

Social media accounts can be faked and herd mentality can mean lots of people will be scammed by a seemingly trustworthy social media presence. Do your own research, to verify the contact.

Is the contact promising high gains in a short space of time?

If the contact is offering high gains in a very short space of time or offering up unrealistic outcomes, you could be dealing with a scam. Puffery such as, “this beer is probably the best in the world”, is probably OK. Claims such as, “We guarantee this investment will go up 20X” is probably not OK. If it’s too good to be true…

If you follow the above you should stay scam-free, without missing out on genuine opportunities. Stay safe!

Introducing the Cryptocurrency for Entrepreneurs! – Pop Up World Token (PUW)

Here at Pop Up World we wanted to provide a way to reward and support entrepreneurs; The PopUpWorld token (PUW) was born!

The Problem – Why Pop Up World?
Pop Up World has an existing worldwide ecosystem of start-ups and small businesses that are looking for funding or are looking to expand. (www.popupworld.co.uk). At the time of writing (Q4 2021), there are over 13,000 start-ups on our list. It is estimated that each year 305 million start-ups come into existence (GettoGrowth).

The problem is, out of all start-ups launched, less than 1% ever receive external funding to realise their dreams. For ethnic minority founders, the figures are even lower, with less than 1%, of those 1% of founders finding success. We launched Pop Up World and (PUW) to address these important issues. Services like our Investor Connector aims to connect start-ups with VCs and Angel Investors but we need to do more.


The Mission
The revolution in blockchain and cryptocurrency technology could be a game-changer for entrepreneurs looking to launch a start-up. Can you imagine a world where the barriers to entry were removed and any viable start-up could access information, services and funds to build their project? That world is ‘Pop Up World’. Our mission is to make that vision a reality!


Background
The PopUpWorld token is built on the Cardano cryptocurrency blockchain. Pop Up World is a digital platform launched in 2020 that helps start-ups and small businesses “reach for the stars”. The platform intends to make the whole start-up process easier and more efficient both for newbie entrepreneurs and seasoned ones alike. The PopUpWorld Token (PUW) is given as a reward for activity on the platform. Users can swap their tokens in exchange for services or to help fund their start-up.


Why Build on Cardano?
Cardano is a cryptocurrency project that was launched in 2015 in a bid to redraft the process through which cryptocurrencies are produced and developed. The project was founded by ex-Ethereum co-founder Charles Hoskinson. The idea was to create a better, more conducive ecosystem in the cryptocurrency world.

Cardano offers a comprehensive roadmap, a collection of thorough design principles, engineering best practices and avenues for exploration that better accounts for the needs of its users. With governance and scalability at its core, plus lower gas fees for its users we decided that Cardano offered the best opportunity moving forward.

Of course, this does come with some risk. At the time of writing, Cardano offers no decentralised exchanges to allow users to trade native tokens. However, since the launch of smart contracts earlier this year (Sep 2021) we would expect that issue to be resolved soon. With Cardano currently resting as the third biggest cryptocurrency in the world aside from Bitcoin and Ethereum, we are confident the future is very bright on Cardano.


Who are we?
Pop Up World and the PopUpWorld Token were founded by entrepreneur, author and Business Law graduate, Graham Jules. Jules has over 15 years of experience in business development and legal. He famously won a trade mark dispute against the multi-billion-dollar media company, Marvel & DC Entertainments over the title of his start-up book, Business Zero to Superhero.

There are a total of 77.7 billion PopUpWorld (PUW) tokens minted.

How to 10X your Sales

Businesses both large and small need to generate and increase sales. In this article, we look at some simple techniques that can multiply your sales and take them through the roof!

Build your Email list.

Yes, this is basic but it is essential to build your own email list. You should be collecting the email of all prospects that contact you. If you are relying on social media for your prospects it’s important to remember that you often do not have the prospects direct contact details. If you do not have the contact details, you are not the owner of the data, the platform is!

If for some reason, the platform were to close or ban you, you could lose all of your following in one hit. When collecting personal data remember to get permission and to follow the law in your jurisdiction.

Automate your email marketing campaign.

Once you have a reasonably sized list, automate it. Set out an automated campaign using Mailchimp, Sendinblue, Hubspot or other email marketing platforms.

Send out useful and varied information to your contacts on a monthly basis. include an area in your email where they can easily unsubscribe if they wish to. Always include a “Call to Action” in your email. (ie. ask them to do something), such as; “to book click here”.

Add new prospects/leads to your list daily.

Your list should not be stagnant and stale. You should be adding to your list daily by carrying out activities in your sales process to generate new prospects. Activities such as PPC (Pay per Click) advertising, calling potential prospects, offering free downloads in exchange for an email, can all generate new contacts. Adding just 10 new contacts a day will add 200 contacts to your list per month or 2400 in a year.

Remember to add these fresh contacts to your automated campaign above, so they are automatically kept in the loop.

Don’t forget to remove old data from your list periodically too.

Remove all friction from the sales process.

Have you ever walked into a shop to buy something and had to wait forever to get served? Have you been tempted to walk out? This is an example of friction in the sales process.

Analyse your business and try and see where the friction is. Are too many prospects dropping off your website quickly without browsing? Is your site loading too slowly? How long do customers have to wait before they get a response from an enquiry? If customers are having to wait for more than 24 hrs for a response to an enquiry, you have probably lost that customer!

How easy is it to purchase from you? Do you have a complicated sales page with a cumbersome registration process? Does it take days or weeks to generate an invoice for a client? Do you offer only one payment option? If any of the above rings true, you must tweak your processes to make it as easy as possible to buy from you.

Amazon has got this down to a ‘fine art’, you can view your product, read reviews, find technical specs, purchase in two clicks and view tracking information, very easily.

Once you have fine-tuned your process you will reduce the number of emails and calls from customers asking questions and most importantly reduce the friction in the process and make it a joy for clients to purchase from you.

Review your pricing.

When was the last time you reviewed your pricing? Are your pricing methods putting customers off buying from you? Do you withhold pricing on your marketing material? How does your pricing compare to competitors?

Reviewing your pricing does not necessarily mean reducing the price. Sometimes the way pricing is presented to the customer can have a dramatic effect on the perceived ‘cost’ of the item. We all know of the $99 option instead of $100. How you present your prices can have an effect on your sales.

For example; if you are selling a service, rather than displaying one price you could consider having three tiers of increasing cost. Most customers will select the mid-tier, but every once in a while a client will select the top tier. Having too many options can have the opposite effect on a customer, so be careful not to bamboozle them with too many options.

Withholding pricing on your website or marketing materials can be useful if you are certain the prospect will contact you to ask for the price. Bear in mind that If there is no price the prospect may assume the service is too expensive and not bother to reach out to check. You should test to see what generates the most enquiries.

Referral program.

A referral program is an easy and effective way to boost sales. At the end of each sales process ask your new client for a referral and reward them for it. Generating referrals is very powerful and offers you that elusive word of mouth recommendation. Ensure you don’t blow it, continue to offer a top-quality service to both the referral and referrer moving forward. Be sure to honour your referral rewards.

Offer incentives, customer discounts.

Do you treat all your customers the same? If the answer is yes you can possibly boost sales here with a few tweaks. Your best customers are the easiest to sell to, so it’s important to incentivise them to buy more. Existing clients should be offered special deals and time-limited discounts. Not only does this make the client feel valued, they will also often be happy to buy more from a trusted provider.

Offering deals or incentives to new clients can make the difference in having them sign-up. So don’t be afraid to offer incentives to clients based on the length of time they have been a customer.

Listen to the client’s needs.

Do you offer an easy way for clients to offer feedback? If the answer is yes, do you listen to that feedback? If customers are giving negative feedback on your service or product you need to look at that as a matter of urgency.

If the feedback is justified (be honest!), something must be done immediately to correct it. Negative feedback can slowly drain the life out of a business.

Don’t forget to upsell.

The best time to get an additional sale is just before checkout. Would your product or service work better with an additional accessory or option? Don’t forget to ask the prospect at your checkout process. Automating your upsell can generate large increases in sales. Don’t be tempted to make the upsell a large convoluted affair, it should be a simple minor additional item. If not you run the risk of delaying or at worst losing the sale.

Build your reputation via PR and news articles.

Having a good reputation or solid brand cannot be underestimated. What do you see when you Google your business or yourself as the founder? If you have no inclusions on websites other than your own, you probably need to work on your reputation and authority. Aim to get articles and reviews in online newspapers and news feeds. If you have a budget you can hire a PR (Public Relations) agent or write a press release and send it out yourself.

Build your social reputation via social media.

It’s important to build a decent social media presence for your venture. Ensure you post engaging content that is useful to your followers rather than just ‘sales’ material.

Have a direct contact that prospects can use.

Aim to have an actual email address that clients can use rather than an anonymous contact form. Publish your physical office address if you have one and your telephone number. This will instil confidence and trust in your new prospects.

Website SEO.

Assess your Search Engine Optimization (SEO) strategy. How many sites link to you? Where are you currently ranking in search engines for your most important keywords? Getting this right can drive large amounts of free organic traffic to your site.

Start a Blog.

Don’t forget to start a blog. Yes, it will take some time to build and write sufficient articles but a good blog can drive free traffic to your site indefinitely and hopefully drive more prospects. Ensure your blog is informative and useful to your readers.

Get Funded.

You will often need extensive capital to expand your marketing reach.

What Does Elon Musk Do That Most Entrepreneurs Don’t?

OK, so we’ve all heard of Elon Musk and his multi-billion dollar projects, Tesla, Space X, etc. But rather than just simply citing this larger than life individual as a genius, what can we actually learn from the mindset and drive of such an extremely successful person?

In this article, we look to analyse why Elon Musk is so successful, and if there’s anything the rest of us mere mortals can learn from his traits to help us reach for the stars!

So, what does Elon Musk do that most entrepreneurs don’t?

Here goes…

He doesn’t take no for an answer.

Most of us are terrified of the word ‘no’, the mere thought of rejection sends a shiver down the spine of many.

But looking at Elon he appears not to be caught up in the ‘no’. A ‘no’ is just a temporary state that with more information or a change in circumstances can be converted into a ‘yes’.

Persistence is vital, without obnoxiousness or stubbornness. Not giving up and having resolve is essential.

A classic example of Elon’s resolve is the Falcon 1 launch. The launch failed three times and with Space X haemorrhaging money, the fourth needed to be a success, or the company would more than likely go bust.

Musk pulled the trigger anyway and the rest is history.

Musk advises, “The number one thing is people should just keep trying, did you try yesterday? Did you try today? It takes a lot of mental exertion to innovate.”

Avoids useless meetings.

Elon Musk hates unproductive meetings. We’ve all been to that ‘meeting that about the meeting’!

Elon Musk has been quoted as saying; “Please get rid of all large meetings, unless you’re certain they are providing value to the whole audience, in which case keep them very short.”

He is a strong proponent of leaving any meeting where you cannot add value. Musk advises; “Walk out of a meeting or drop off a call as soon as it is obvious you aren’t adding value.”

To Elon, this behaviour is not rude you are simply increasing your available time and productivity. He says, “It is not rude to leave. It is rude to make someone stay and waste their time.”

He doesn’t self-limit himself.

Elon Musk is quoted as saying, “I think most people can learn a lot more than they think they can. They sell themselves short without trying.”

Musk believes that we all have the capacity to learn whatever we want, we should not be limited by our past education or age.

Musk taught himself rocketry through reading. He believes that reading is simply a process of downloading information into your brain.

He questions traditional education since the “Data rate of information transfer is just too slow”.

A whole universe of information is out there if we choose to read, we can ‘download’ much of it to our benefit.

He applies critical thinking.

Musk strongly believes in ‘First Principle’ thinking. When we make a decision or reason, that reasoning is often based on some assumptions that have been laid down before.

Essentially, we copy the core foundations and adjust them slightly to meet our purpose.

First Principle thinking involves breaking down those core foundations into constituent parts and questioning all of them. By doing this, glaring inefficiencies can become apparent.

Musk used the cost of batteries as an example, “People would say, ‘Historically it’s cost $600 per kilowatt-hour, and so it’s not going to be much better than that in the future.”

By breaking down the individual material elements in the battery making process Musk realised that batteries could be made a lot cheaper.

Musk is always asking, “Why?” and finding better ways of doing things.

Healthy Intensity.

Musk believes in healthy intensity, ie you should put lots of work in to get the result out.

Musk is renowned for his 120-hour working weeks. He is quoted as saying that he was working so hard on the Tesla Model 3, that he missed his own birthday.

Even the mighty Elon realises that working too much can have unwanted side effects, he says, “You’re gonna go a little bonkers if you work 120 hours a week.”

He advises, “If you’re super stressed, you can’t go to sleep. You either have a choice of, like, okay, I’ll have zero sleep and then my brain won’t work tomorrow, or you’re gonna take some kind of sleep medication to fall asleep.” Striking that balance between working hard and enough rest is critical.

Avoids wishful thinking.

Elon Musk is quoted as saying, “One of the biggest mistakes people generally make, and I’m guilty of it too, is wishful thinking. You know, like you want something to be true, even if it isn’t true. You ignore the real truth, because of what you want to be true. This is a very difficult trap to avoid”. Ouch…

Yes, this is a big one. Stop the wishful thinking and get back into reality.

Doesn’t necessarily mean we can’t dream, we just need to apply some of that critical thinking mentioned above!

Often we use wishful thinking to make ourselves feel better but realistically the best way forward is to face reality.

Here’s what Elon says; “Focus on something that has high value to someone else, be really rigorous in making that assessment, because natural human tendency is wishful thinking, so the challenge to entrepreneurs is telling what’s the difference between really believing in your ideals and sticking to them as opposed to pursuing some unrealistic dream that doesn’t actually have merit, be very rigorous in your self analysis, certainly being extremely tenacious, and just work like hell. Put in 80-100 hours every week. All these things improves the odds of success.”

He has a growth mindset.

Elon Musk is quoted as saying, “You should take the approach that you’re wrong. Your goal is to be less wrong”. He believes that by failing you are given an opportunity to learn something new and to get insight from a different perspective until you find a solution that works.

Elon has also said, “Tesla policy is never to give in to false claims, even if we would lose, and never to fight true claims, even if we would win”.

The quote followed claims that a software update temporarily reduced maximum battery voltage in thousands of Model S Sedans. Elon Musk showed honesty and integrity by awarding $625 to each user affected, “If we are wrong, we are wrong. In this case, we were”. he stated.
