How many times a day do you get an email and move it straight to trash before even opening it? We are all guilty of this action because we receive hundreds of “spam” emails everyday. They are trying to captivate us with: Buy this Save this Sign up to be an exclusive member You don’t want to miss this But none of this works. The first step to a successful email campaign is a catchy subject line. Put yourself on the receiving end. Would you open an email with the subject you are about to choose? Sifting through hundreds of emails a day, your audience needs to be captivated by “something.” The opportunities are endless, but you must have “something” to catch their attention.

Today is April 1st. Everyone knows that means it’s April Fools’ Day or All Fools’ Day. This is a day to “duck and cover” if you work or live with pranksters.
April Fools’ has been a tradition for centuries, possibly dating back to France in 1582. People didn't want to start the new year on January 1st and continued to celebrate it at the end of March/beginning of April. These people became the butt of jokes and hoaxes.

"The new girl is always prettier than the girl you took to the dance" Canadian-born Australian entrepreneur Jack Cowin once told me when I first decided to expand internationally. As my mentor he was right, and though I listened at the time, I did it anyway.
In the end, we were both right. Expanding to the United States was singularly the bravest thing I ever did, and it has set me up for profitability in the company in US dollars while the Australian dollar remains weak. Our offices make money and it has been an absolutely amazing journey. I have met some phenomenal people, all of whom have added to my life.
It also lead to a bit of "excitement" in my life. I was at a stage where I needed something to lift my game and expanding into the US market did exactly that.

Hick’s Law points out that increasing the number of choices will increase the decision time logarithmically.
Ok... that sounds complicated, but it’s not. Simply, if you give your users too many choices they often won’t make a decision.
We’ve all seen the person in the grocery store, in the cereal aisle staring into oblivion. There are so many different kinds of cereal it can be overwhelming. The grocery store can be overwhelming anyway, that’s why I won’t walk in one without a list. There are too many choices and it’s easy to stay too long trying to decide what’s for dinner.
