The Purpose of Economics: lift nine tenths of mankindMBA ASAP
In a Misery of this Sort, admitting some few Lenities, and those too but a few, nine Parts in ten of the whole Race of Mankind drudge through Life.
Edmund Burke, A Vindication of Natural Society, 1756

Reaching an estimated 17.3 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) in 2009, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), representing the largest one-year increase in history when the nation itself was in the midst of the “great recession.” Predictions are for health care costs to be 19.3 percent of GDP in 2019 (four times the 5.1 percent of GDP in 1960). Despite the high cost of health care, gaps and inequities persisted, leading to health care reform. The 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), or commonly Affordable Care Act (ACA) is attempting to change the US health care system from a volume-based to a value-based model.

Managing Strategic Momentum | Making Strategy WorkMBA ASAP
Strategy is usually viewed as an annual exercise at best, an event that creates a ‘product,' and not a process to be used to actually run the business
Disconnect between Strategy and Tactics
The only legitimate work in an organization is work that contributes to the accomplishment of the strategic plan.
It takes the orchestration of management as well as leadership to perpetuate these capabilities into the future.
Strategy matters even more to entrepreneurs than to established businesses. Yet lean methods for innovation also have a lot of value. The two are not in conflict; rather their reconciliation in the lean strategy process holds out hope for entrepreneurs in organizations of all sizes to become agile, effective innovators.
Any resource-constrained organization needs a strategy that defines boundaries.
Clarifying what is in and what is out of bounds ensures that experimentation is not rampant and is encouraged within those parameters.
It helps firms identify the long-term attractiveness of possible business models or market spaces before testing their feasibility.
By combining strategy and experimentation in such a fashion, all firms can greatly increase the odds of achieving lasting success
is the periodic process of developing a set of steps for an organization to accomplish its mission and vision using strategic thinking.
Putting the pieces of the puzzle together.
provides a sequential, step-by-step process for creating a strategy,
involves periodic group strategic thinking (brainstorming) sessions,

Or
Enter the Matrix
I would like to share with you ways I have used to build and expand your brand and writer’s platform by creating a personal media ecosystem. Content is King. We all work and aspire to create great content with readers and audiences and fans in mind. We have repositories of content and ideas that can be leveraged and repurposed in different formats across multiple channels to increase awareness and capture new fans and customers. 1,000 true fans can support a sustainable artistic livelihood.
Potential readers have a wide variety of choices in the way they consume and enjoy information and content that begins as writing. You can monetize your writing by getting creative about repurposing your content across a variety of social media and sales channels. A digital first strategy focuses on taking advantage of platforms and partners that are very inexpensive and in many cases costless. Become aware of business model choices that create multiple revenue streams.
I will show you my content production workflow that stems from my writing and forms a matrix of properties that are then promoted and sold in a variety of ways. Leverage computer and web tools for content repurposing and do it all yourself. These ancillary revenue streams and promotional channels can help you support a sustainable creative living.
Strategic Thinking for Competitive AdvantageMBA ASAP
Leaders, similar to great athletes, must simultaneously play the game and observe it as a whole.
Keep perspective and see the big picture – not get lost in the action.
“All enterprises or projects, big or small, begin in the mind's eye; they begin with imagination and with the belief that what is merely an image can one day be made real.”
Vision and a sense of the future
Strategic thinking requires a mindset – a way of thinking or intellectual process that
accepts change,
analyzes the causes and outcomes of change,
attempts to direct an organization's future to capitalize on the changes.
From the Greek στρατηγία stratēgia, "art of troop leader; generalship"
Strategy is a high-level plan to achieve one or more goals under conditions of uncertainty and limited resources.
A comprehensive way to try to pursue political ends, including the threat or actual use of force, in a dialectic of wills in a military conflict, in which both adversaries interact.
Strategy is important because the resources available to achieve these goals are usually limited. Strategy generally involves setting goals, determining actions to achieve the goals, and mobilizing resources to execute the actions. A strategy describes how the ends (goals) will be achieved by the means (resources). Strategy can be intended or can emerge as a pattern of activity as the organization adapts to its environment or competes. It involves activities such as strategic planning and strategic thinking.
A device such as a word or a logo can only be considered a trademark or a service mark if it is distinctive. A distinctive word or logo is one that is capable of distinguishing the goods or services upon which it is used from the goods or services of others. A non-distinctive device is one that merely describes or names a characteristic or quality of the goods or services.
There is a spectrum of trademarks based on their strength. Devices that are fanciful, arbitrary, or suggestive are considered distinctive enough to function as trademarks.
A work or invention that is the result of creativity, such as a manuscript or a design, to which one has rights and for which one may apply for a patent, copyright, trademark, etc.
A generic trademark, also known as a genericized trademark or proprietary eponym, is a trademark or brand name that, due to its popularity or significance, has become the generic name for, or synonymous with, a general class of product or service, usually against the intentions of the trademark's holder. The process of a product's name becoming genericized is known as genericide.
Money is a transactional vehicle.
Money is any item or verifiable record that is generally accepted as payment for goods and services and repayment of debts.
The main functions of money are distinguished as:
a medium of exchange
a store of value
Any item or verifiable record that fulfills these functions can be considered money.
Economic activity relies on group agreement relative to the value of assets and their prices. When prices rise, people tend to get excited and buy more, bidding prices higher. This is called speculation or irrational exuberance. Values can only defy gravity for so long and when folks begin to realize assets may be over-priced, panic selling brings it all crashing down. Pop.
The crash which usually follows an economic bubble can destroy a large amount of wealth and cause continuing economic malaise.
Here are some of the more infamous bubble bursting events and “adjustments” that have occurred since the industrial revolution and our thinking about economics began.

SlideShare and Lynda
4. MBA ASAP
LinkedIn owns SlideShare were you can post and share slide deck presentations like PowerPoint.
It also owns Lynda.com which is an educational site worth checking out. In mid 2016 Microsoft
purchased LinkedIn.
Here is summary of what LinkedIn has to offer and its prominent features:
Profile
Think of LinkedIn as Facebook with a professional slant. This
is where you build a profile of your education and job history.
You profile is like an online resume, a page on which you list
information like job experience and professional skills.
LinkedIn is a place where you can network with like minded
people, both peers and mentors from across the world.
LinkedIn measures your “profile strength” from Beginner to All Star The higher your profile
completeness, the more likely you are to appear in search results. For example, if you list skills
like “Bookkeeping” and “Accounting,” recruiters may come across your profile when they an
search on those keywords.
There are 5 levels of LinkedIn 'Profile Strength':
All-Star
Expert
Advanced
Intermediate
Beginner
You achieve 'All-Star' status by:
Adding a profile photo
Listing 2 or more positions you’ve held, along with descriptions of your roles
5. MBA ASAP
Having 5 or more skills on your profile
Writing a summary about yourself
Filling out your industry and postal/zip code
Adding where you went to school
Having 50 or more connections
Slide Decks and Videos
LinkedIn owns SlideShare where you can post slide decks you have made on PowerPoint or
other presentation software. You can then embed these presentations in you LinkedIn profile
page. You can also embed YouTube videos and other media that highlights some part of your
career or interests.
It’s important to complete your profile to the best of your ability especially if you’re planning on
using LinkedIn to look for jobs. But don’t be intimidated. This isn’t a race. Take your time as
you build your profile.
Now let’s talk about how to optimize your LinkedIn profile:
Connections
Getting 50 connections might sound like a daunting task but LinkedIn makes it pretty easy.
Start with people you know. A good first step is to search for people you know by name. Use the
search bar at the top of the page to locate them. Click on their thumbnail profile which will take
you to their profile page. Click the “Connect” button next to their picture to add them to your
network. LinkedIn sends a stock message about wanting to connect along with your name. You
may send a personalized message along with the invitation to make the connection more
6. MBA ASAP
meaningful. LinkedIn may ask you how you know this person and provide you with a list of
possible relationships and your job history.
After you have located a few people whose names
quickly come to mind and have sent them requests
you can try to the “People You May Know” page.
The top bar under the search bar has a drop down
menu called “Network” this is where you find the
“People You May Know” page. LinkedIn analyzes
your connections and makes suggestions based on
your burgeoning network. The page will show potential connections and how many connections
you both share. As you build your network you will be surprised by how many people you are
connected to by on or two degrees of separation.
There is a theory called Six Degrees of Separation that states that everyone is six or fewer steps
away, by way of introduction, from any other person in the world. So that links of "a friend of a
friend" can be made to connect any two people in no more than of six steps. LinkedIn is the
manifestation of this idea. It is thrilling when you start to connect with people from all over the
world that share your business and career interests.
Under the “My Network” tab on the top bar you can also navigate to “Add Connections”. This
will step you through the process of importing your email address book. LinkedIn will then
compare your email address book to people registered on LinkedIn, suggest connections, and
help you manage them. You choose which ones you would like to connect with.
Interests
On the top bar is a drop down menu tab called “Interests” that allows you to find and connect
with companies you might be interested in.
Companies
7. MBA ASAP
Many companies have profile pages on LinkedIn with lots of information about the company
including job openings. Many companies encourage applicants to apply through LinkedIn.
Recruiters also use LinkedIn to search for candidates. More reasons to complete your profile and
keep it up to date!
The “Interest” tab also navigates to the Group function.
Check out and Follow the MBA ASAP page!
Groups
LinkedIn groups are designed to share content, ask for
advice, post or search for jobs and network with
others based on some common interest. Groups focus
on industries, professions, associations and societies,
support groups, causes, and publications to name a
few. You get the idea. Find some groups that seem
interesting and check them out. They are great ways
to network and find out the latest information related
to your interests and career goals.
Jobs
The top bar also has a menu tab called “Jobs”. Based on your education and job history LinkedIn
will make suggestions of current job postings you may be interested in. When you click on the
“Jobs” you will get a list of possible jobs and LinkedIn will prompt you to set up your job
preferences so they can tailor their recommendations to you. If you are looking for a job or
interested in advancing your career, then the job search and recruitment tools are LinkedIn's most
valuable features.
Updates
8. MBA ASAP
Social network content sharing on Facebook and Twitter are more about fun and entertainment
between friends. LinkedIn updates tend to be focused on business and professional interests
between colleagues.
When you post a status update on the LinkedIn homepage it will be shared and also posted to
your profile page under Posts. You can post from your homepage or your profile page and when
you engage in discussions in LinkedIn groups, it will also be posted as an update.
You can also post updates from web articles you find interesting and informative by clicking the
LinkedIn social share button next to it. You can also connect your Twitter and Facebook
accounts to LinkedIn.
Mobile
LinkedIn has mobile applications for iPhone, iPad, Android, and Windows. If you are like me
you will probably end up using LinkedIn much more on your phone or tablet than on your
computer.
9. MBA ASAP
Summary
LinkedIn is a great way network, keep current, market
yourself and search for jobs and opportunities.
