Moment of Magic

Simple things bring the most joys in life take for example a walk in the park or a conversation with a long lost friend or a hot shower after a long day of work.No one really can explain how and why but there is no need to because we are humans and that is how we were built to work.In my opinion I tend to think that most successful products and services try to address our primal basic needs and that is why they succeed,in this case I think Domino's is one of the best examples I could share.
On this particular day I was out on a date with this new beautiful girl I had met and I was out to impress because in my head she was miles away from my league,in football terms I was in the junior league and she was in the premier league,to date how I managed to get her I still have no idea.With her in toe,we headed straight to one of their outlets all this while as I was fantasizing of our home on top of the hills raring thorough-bred horses and the beautiful babies we would have as I was still trying to maintain a stable breathing pace and build up my confidence.At the entrance I locked eyes with a lady whose name tag betrayed her name and the smile on her face welcomed me in and instantly took my chills away.She was polite and addressed me with the utmost form of respect I ever experienced and then took our order.
I could not resist ordering two boxes of garlic bread and their spicy wings because hey she made me feel richer than I actually was and she gave me that opportunity to order for the best meal on their menu thus impressing my date and to add onto all of that I tipped her because as the order was getting ready we struck a conversation on our day to day different hustles and our struggles something I really appreciated.My date then gently called my name and that was when I remembered that i was not alone,I was slightly embarrassed but I confidently took our meal and chose a table where we sat and to me from the interaction with Tabitha,the lady at the counter, made the food tastier and me even more confident.She periodically came to check on us and to me this was unique and different considering that it was a fast food joint.
At the end of the night my date went according to plan and the rest was the kind of history that leads to many happy moments with my premier league lady.Over time I made sure that I became a frequent Domino's customer because of how well she treated me and made me feel IMPORTANT and the fact that they got cheaper and there were so many discounts on the table.
Tabitha created a moment of magic for me and three years down the line I still know her name and remember her face and smile as a customer.As a company how do you create such moments for your customers?

The Primal Advantage

Ever wondered why human beings are the most dominant species on the planet? By this I also need to clarify which kind of humans,the mainstream ones,just like you and me. The indigenous tribes however,are endangered because they have refused to give in to the ever changing human society and eventually might be faced out. There has been so many still,indigenous tribes or races that have gone extinct. Humor me for a minute and think about this,when you are with a group of friends or acquaintances who happen to know so much about football and you don't,you are forced to either adapt by learning about football or you are pushed out of that group either because you will never meet them again or because you don't feel obligated to prove a point to them by learning of their interests. In this case if you choose to leave the group,chances are you develop your own interests with people who share the same sentiments thus a rift caused by this decision. Depending on the demands of your c

Perks of Responsibilities

Being the first born son in a home of three boys basically meant being the experimental child in the family and ultimately being the child that my parents wanted to live their unfulfilled dreams through. This then meant that I carried so much expectations from all sides of my family,there was no tolerance of error and not even a smudge of leniency when it came to discipline administration.In other words I survived some tough love,for my mom I was a beacon of hope for the continuity of her generation and to my dad I was an investment that would pay off when I started working and they had retired as for my extended family well it was another loss because had I been born a girl that would be a rather handsome dowry payment when it came to the right time. In my head I was an overwhelmed child just like every other child whose parents or guardians wanted him to do something he had no interest in,I dreamt of being a pilot whereas my father wanted me to be a doctor but being my mother's

The Disruption Complex

Those who disrupt their industries change consumer behavior,alter economics and transform lives-Heather Simmons.  Disruption seems to be the new hyped up word right after the word entrepreneurship. It is defined as disturbance or problems which interrupt an event,activity,or process. In this fast paced constantly evolving world,being disrupted can spell out the closing down of a business whereas being the disrupter can mean the exponential growth of the business. However,like everything else in business there has to be a catch. For one to keep up the disruption trajectory,innovation must be integral to the working in and for the business. For instance, Amazon has caused pain for a lot of companies with its disruptive business model. The company is known for shaking up entire industries with its malleable e-commerce platform, which has disrupted brick-and-mortar retail,groceries,and even the insurance industry. Amazon has created a curated assortment of both product and expectations,w
