Blockchain - The technology that will transform commerce

Editorial Max

Sinossi

Global trade is a complex, interconnected system that involves a variety of actors, from businesses and governments to individuals. Over the years, commerce has evolved to become more efficient and secure, but there are still challenges to be overcome.One of these challenges is the lack of transparency and trust in the trading system. Currently, information about business transactions is often fragmented and difficult to access. This can lead to fraud, corruption and other forms of misconduct.Another challenge is the complexity and bureaucracy of trade. Business processes are often slow and inefficient, which can increase costs and harm companies' competitiveness.Blockchain technology has the potential to solve these challenges and transform global trade. Blockchain is a decentralized ledger technology that uses cryptography to ensure data security and integrity .How blockchain worksBlockchain is a network of computers that share a database of information. This information is stored in blocks, which are connected to each other using encryption.When a new transaction occurs, it is recorded in a new block. That block is then added to the chain, which is a sequence of blocks that extends backwards in time.Cryptography ensures that information on the blockchain cannot be altered or falsified. This is because each block contains a hash of the previous block. A hash is a unique code that is generated from the block data.If a block is changed, the hash of the previous block will also be changed. This would cause the entire blockchain to be inconsistent, which would be detected by network participants.Learn Much More...

The Loving Truth About Money - A...

Diana Richey

Finally—the real story about building wealth and letting go of financial fears. 
The world tells us two divergent stories about money. Either you must work, grind, and struggle, or you just sit back, let go, and watch the universe rain abundance on you. Of course, neither story is true. Financial expert Diana Richey reveals that we can change our relationship with money by interrogating the forces that influence our lives—and learning to maximize the potential energy within and around us. 
The Loving Truth About Money explores how both inner work (a deep dive into who you are and what larger powers support you) and outer work (the actionable steps you can take to make financial decisions) can align to lead you to the abundance and peace you know deep down is possible. Richey’s three-step process demonstrates how to move beyond your limiting beliefs to harness the power of energetics, creating financial security and the life of your dreams while investing in the world you want to see. 
Richey’s guidance is rooted in her own experience and expertise in the financial sector as an attorney and certified financial planner and is a distillation of her twenty-year path from a life that felt like a beautiful prison to a life that’s peaceful, joyful, and aligned. Whether you’re a new or seasoned investor, you will find time-tested advice to help you forge your own road to financial peace.

Fractured but Fearless -...

S. Irfan Ali

A life worth living is one full of risks, and where there are risks, failure is inevitable … but what if we could learn to fail “forward,” to grow from our mistakes, perhaps even celebrate them, as the means to keep us humble, hungry, and human? Written with warmth, honesty, rare insight, and authentic compassion for others, Fractured but Fearless is a tribute to the power concealed within our falls, stumbles, and heartbreaks—even within our shattered dreams.

CEO Led Sales - The new model to...

Andrew Phillips

CEO-Led Sales outlines The Right Model to revolutionise your sales process and dramatically improve your confidence in the predictability of your sales numbers. This has to start from the top with you, the CEO.
As the CEO of a sales organisation, how many times have you said to yourself:
"thank god our customers are buying because we're not selling"
"we had ten-times pipeline coverage, but we still missed our number?"
Or ... heard from your sales leads the following:
"the person who was going to sign off on our deal has gone on leave"
"this is a strategic deal - we must discount to win"
"they decided to do nothing?"
If these lines sound familiar, then your sales team is stuck in the past. They are struggling to keep pace
with the market and will continue to stumble into the future. That's not to say you won't make your
numbers on occasion, but you can be guaranteed your company won't be the clear leader in its market.
This creates distrust with your sales team and that uneasy feeling of not being sure you will meet your
targets.
Is there a better way?
After twenty years as a senior IT sales leader addressing this problem and demonstrating measurable
success across multiple organisations, Andrew Phillips knows there is.
CEO-Led Sales outlines The Right Model to revolutionise your sales process and dramatically improve
your confidence in the predictability of your sales numbers. This has to start from the top with you, the
CEO.
The process is a multi-year investment to transform your sales organisation. It's challenging, but the
results are consistent and the revenue reliable. Andrew Phillips invites you to take the next step and
discover the benefits of CEO-Led Sales.
