What’s holding you back from starting something?

As an Entrepreneur you cannot keep saying that you plan to start a business someday and wake up and realize that 3 years have passed and you have nothing to show for it. It takes push and action to make something a reality. Wishing for something does not make it so, only action. If you just keep saying you will but never do it, then you will spend all your time with everyone else in the valley of dreams where nothing is real and only the wrinkles on your face are all you have to show for your time here on earth. Go on an adventure! It doesn’t have to be far at first, just a day trip somewhere. You might surprise yourself who you can be. Even if you have kids don’t use them as a handicap for holding you back, their not. They are some of your greatest inspiration. It will make them happy to see their parents reach their goal.

For these people below in the links they did just that and accomplished something they will remember for the rest of their lives. It’s easy to get caught up in our day-to-day life, always telling ourselves that one day we will go see the world. It’s not enough to think that a two week vacation somewhere means your cultured, it’s just the American way of seeing the world. But for these individuals, they did not let life stand in the way, they took charge and this is what they have to show for it.

Selfies with your favorite products are noticed in the marketing world

Kraft recently enlisted the help of Ditto labs, a small start up company, to help target who their consumers are exactly by using computers to analyze photos of people with their products. They want to know how people are using them, in what context they are taking photos of their products, and what that means for promotions and marketing.

Whether you are launching a business for the first time or have been doing it for awhile now, you need to know how your customers are using your products, and there is no better way to know that than with the pictures people take with your products. Using technology that law enforcement has been using for years in tracking down illegal photos online, companies, like Ditto Labs, are now using it to find where their products are on the internet. Sites like Tumblr, Flickr, instagram, twitter, and facebook are now being data mined from public information (i.e., photos and videos) in order for companies like Kraft to analyze their results.

Your Photos and videos with your favorite products say more than a thousand words
