Don’t Mine for Gold When You Can Sell Shovels - The Power of B2B BusinessesMatt Ward
How do you forgo fast profit for future success? Life isn’t a race. Bank balance isn’t a score card. Don’t get caught up in the hype.
Wealth ALWAYS accrues to the facilitators. Companies that assist entrepreneurs and SMBs are the among the most valuable in the world.
Google and Facebook do ads. Stripe and Square handle payments. Amazon and Etsy empower sellers… there are thousands of examples.
Today selling shovels sucks. There are many brands, and shovels are a commodity — people do not care. If it moves snow, dirt or sand from A to B, it is probably good enough for me.
To be a venture scale opportunity, startups MUST be playing in a winner take most (or all) market. Venture capitalists and angel investors have to shoot for the moon — that is the nature of the power law profile of early stage investing. One or two companies returns the portfolio, the majority die or lurk in obscurity.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

2. Introduction
No nation can grow or develop without paying close attention to small
businesses. Small businesses constitute a major force in the economy of
developed nations.
In the United States for example, there are over twenty-seven million small
businesses which generate about 50 percent its gross domestic product
(GDP)
The millions of individuals who have started businesses in the United States
have shaped the business world as we know it today.
Some small business founders like Henry Ford and Thomas Edison have even
gained places in history.
Others, including Bill Gates (Microsoft), Steve Jobs (Apple Computer), Larry
Page and Sergey Brin (Google), have changed the way business is done today.
Still millions of others have collectively contributed to standard of living in
world today.
Aside from contributions to general economic well-being, founders of small
businesses also contribute to growth and vitality in specific areas of
economic and socioeconomic development. In particular, small businesses
do the following:
Create jobs
Spark innovation
Provide opportunities for many people, including women and
minorities, to achieve financial success and independence
Studies have shown that majority of U.S. workers first entered the business
world working for small businesses.
3. Today, half of all U.S. adults either are self-employed or work for small businesses.
Between 1993 – 2008, over 500 million jobs were created through small businesses
in the United States.(Source: U.S Small Business Administration Office)
Studies have shown that majority of U.S. workers first entered the business world
working for small businesses.
Case study:
In 1994, Jeff Bezos, a young computer-science graduate working on Wall Street
came up with the novel idea of selling books over the Internet which led to the
founding of Amazon.com. During the first year of operations, sales at—
Amazon.com—reached half a million dollars. In less than twenty years, annual sales
had topped $34 billion.
Translating Skills to Enterprise
Case study: The Acres of Diamonds
The Acres of Diamonds story”a true one” is told of an African farmer who heard
tales about other farmers who had made millions by discovering diamond mines.
These tales so excited the farmer that he could hardly wait to sell his farm and go
prospecting for diamonds himself. He sold the farm and spent the rest of his life
OPPORTUNITY!
OPPORTUNITY!!
OPPORTUNITY!!!
“Opportunity comes to all, but it comes disguised and many never see it”.
4. wandering the African continent searching unsuccessfully for the gleaming gems
that brought such high prices on the markets of the world. Finally, worn out and in
a fit of despondency, he threw himself into a river and drowned.
Meanwhile, the man who had bought his farm was crossing the small stream on
the property one day, when suddenly there was a bright flash of blue and red light
from the stream bottom. He bent down and picked up a stone. It was a good-sized
stone, and admiring it, he brought it home and put it on his fireplace mantel as an
interesting curiosity. Several weeks later a visitor picked up the stone, looked
closely at it, hefted it in his hand, and nearly fainted. He asked the farmer if he knew
what he’d found. When the farmer said, no, that he thought it was a piece of
crystal, the visitor told him he had found one of the largest diamonds ever
discovered.
The farmer had trouble believing that. He told the man that his creek was full of
such stones, not all as large as the one on the mantel, but sprinkled generously
throughout the creek bottom. The farm the first farmer sold out what turned out
to be one of the most productive diamond mines on the entire African continent.
The first farmer had owned, free and clear … acres of diamonds. But he had sold
them for practically nothing, in order to look for them elsewhere. The moral is clear:
If the first farmer had only taken the time to study and prepare himself to learn
what diamonds looked like in their rough state, and to thoroughly explore the
property he had before looking elsewhere, all of his wildest dreams would have
come true.
There are 5 guiding rules that will help you translate your skills to Enterprise. These
are:
Rule 1: Know What You Want From the Skills Acquired
“Nothing that is good works by itself, you have to make it work’’.
-Thomas Edison
5. You must have a clear vision of where you want the skills you have acquired
to take you to.
You vision must be written down and communicated.
Let your vision be the driving force of your business.
MOVING FROM VISION TO PLAN
Example of Vision Planning

Management Alternatives Limited
6. RULE 3: Resist Distractions
Be single minded and focus on succeeding by taking one thing at a time. Resist the
temptation to do so many things to make money. Stay at your trade and nocturne
it and it will grow to become very big.
RULE 4: Make Your Work Stand-Out
How good am I at what I’m presently doing?
Can I call myself a first-class professional at my work?
How would my work stand up against the work of others in my field?
Do I know all I can about my industry or profession?
How can the customer be given a better break?
How can I increase my service?
Translating Skills to Enterprise
Case study: A man began with a small gas station. One day, while one of his young
attendants filled a customer’s gas tank, he watched the customer while he stood
about waiting for the job to be finished. It dawned upon him that the man had
money in his pockets and there were things he needed or wanted that he would
pay for if they were conveniently displayed where he could see them.
Begin implementation of your vision by starting a viable business in your area of
specialization.
Search for a good location within the available funds where Government will establish you
“DO SOMETHING, GET SOMETHING
DO NOTHING, GET NOTHING”
7. So he began adding things like cold soft drinks and candy, he added an excellent
line of chocolates in a refrigerated case. Before long, he sold more chocolates than
anyone else in the state. He expanded to selling thousands of things his customers
could buy while waiting for their cars to be filled with gas and serviced.
RULE 5: Look For Opportunities and Take Advantage of Them
There are rare and very marketable diamonds lurking all around me. Have I been
looking for them? Have I examined every facet of my work and of the industry or
profession in which it has its life?
There are better ways to do what I’m presently doing. What are they?
How will my work be performed 20 years from now?
Everything in the world is in a state of evolution and improvement. How can I do
now what will eventually be done anyway?
Conclusion
99% of the failures come from people who have the habit of making excuses." --
George Washington Carver (African American scientist, botanist, educator, and
inventor)
With this opportunity you have been given by Delta you no longer have excuse to
fail in life.
See this opportunity as your own acres of diamond and make the best out of it for
you, your family and the society.
