Here are 10 Things you didn't know your Mac could do (until now) 💻

 Hot Corners:

Launch various actions within your computer simply by moving your mouse to one corner of the screen or another.

• System Preferences
• Mission Control
• Hot Corners
• Select the action to launch
Specific Screenshots:

SHIFT+CMD+3 will capture your entire screen.

Did you know you can also narrow your capture to a specific portion?

It's easy, & now that I know it exists, I use it every day.

A simple SHIFT+CMD+4 and you're on your way.
Digital Signatures:

Have a PDF you need to sign?

Let's skip all the printing, physical signing, scanning, etc.

Using the "preview" app you can easily create a digital signature.

All you need is a pen, a white piece of paper, & your Mac's camera.
https://t.co/3ACdKofm0I
File Stacks:

I'm a bit OCD when it comes to my desktop.

I like to keep things very organized and can't stand to have a bunch of different files scattered across the screen.

• Right Click
• Use Stacks
• Files are now "stacked" by type

Click a group to see the files within.
Annotate PDF's

While the preview app doesn't allow for text editing, it does provide some other pretty cool features.

By selecting the "markup" toolbar, you can unlock multiple collaborative options:

•Add notes
•Suggest changes
•Sketch, draw, & share ideas.

Here's how:
Keyboard Shortcuts:

I was sitting in my office recently & noticed one of my coworkers seemingly flying through tasks.

Without ever using his mouse.

I thought, "man, I've got to learn keyboard shortcuts."

With this in mind, here are the basics to get us started.
Custom shortcuts:

Speaking of keyboard shortcuts, did you know you can make one for literally anything?

Go to:

System Preferences->Keyboard
->App Shortcuts->Click the +

Have a menu option you use all the time, but a shortcut doesn't exist?

No worries. Create your own!
Create PDFs from images:

Let's say you have multiple images you'd like to share but the files are too large.

Converting them to a PDF is super simple.

Just Command +select all files
Right-click -> Quick Actions
Create PDF
Control Someone Else's Screen:

Type Command + Spacebar to open spotlight search.

Once inside, type "screen sharing" in the search box and select the option.

Type in their Apple ID and they'll receive a prompt to let you control their screen, straight from your own computer!
Split View:

If you're like me, you can't have enough screen real estate.

Here's how to 2X your viewable area:

Hover your pointer over the full-screen button 🟢 in the upper-left corner.

->Tile left or right
->Click a window on the other side

BOOM!

Two apps, one screen

Output = 'To be determined'


Consolidate:

Take data from multiple tabs.

Consolidate into one.

My dad led an organization of over 300,000 employees.

When I took on my biggest marketing & events team to date (35 employees) I asked him how the *heck* he did it. Here's what he said and what helped me every day. 🧵

Remember you're leading all the employees under you, but you're not *managing* them all. You're managing your direct reports, which should be 5-7 individuals max. Focus on them.

When you interact with the employees you don't manage directly, get to know them as people first, that'll be the most valuable information in leading them. Remembering everything you learn about them is hard, but doing so will make you a superhero.

If you're not going to empower the managers under you, why do you have them? If you see room for improvement, let the manager know and let them make the change on their teams and come to you with questions/concerns. This will save you SO much time.

If you're the smartest person in any room - you're doing it wrong. As a leader, your job is bringing together the best people to get the job done - your skillset is identifying those people, not being one of them.

Guruvayur Sri Krishna & Coconut with Horns.
#Krishnaleela
#Bhakthi
🕉
We’ve all grown up listening to stories of Shri Krishna. This one is a famous story of Shri Krishna in Guruvayur Temple, also called Dakshina Dwaraka.


There lived a villager who planted coconut saplings and had promised that he would offer the 'first coconut' from each of his coconut trees to "Guruvayurappan". When the trees started to yield coconuts, he collected the first coconut from all the trees in a sack 👇


and set forth to Guruvayur.

On the way he was stopped by a robber who asked all the items in the sack. The villager told the robber that the coconuts in the sack belonged to Guruvayurappan and so he was unable to hand it over.
@SriramKannan77 @Jayalko1


The robber with anger asked the villager "Is Guruvaurappan's coconut any different? Does it have horns ?".
Saying so the robber pulled the sack forcefully out of the villager's hand, and coconuts came out..👇


To their astonishment each and every coconut in the sack had horns! Even today, the coconut with horns are displayed in the temple for devotees to see.

Below Picture is not original, as we cannot take photos inside temple.

1/“What would need to be true for you to….X”

Why is this the most powerful question you can ask when attempting to reach an agreement with another human being or organization?

A thread, co-written by @deanmbrody:


2/ First, “X” could be lots of things. Examples: What would need to be true for you to

- “Feel it's in our best interest for me to be CMO"
- “Feel that we’re in a good place as a company”
- “Feel that we’re on the same page”
- “Feel that we both got what we wanted from this deal

3/ Normally, we aren’t that direct. Example from startup/VC land:

Founders leave VC meetings thinking that every VC will invest, but they rarely do.

Worse over, the founders don’t know what they need to do in order to be fundable.

4/ So why should you ask the magic Q?

To get clarity.

You want to know where you stand, and what it takes to get what you want in a way that also gets them what they want.

It also holds them (mentally) accountable once the thing they need becomes true.

5/ Staying in the context of soliciting investors, the question is “what would need to be true for you to want to invest (or partner with us on this journey, etc)?”

Multiple responses to this question are likely to deliver a positive result.

A lot of people don't understand that Trump & his incoming team didn't face a normal transition period, like it was over a in a matter of a few weeks or months.

The DOJ transition period JUST ENDED when Sessions left. Almost 2 exact years to get it there.

Pompeo at the CIA took over a year before he was done and ready to shift over to the State Department.

All kinds of stuff has been going on behind the scenes nobody leaks or talks about.

We only had the barest mention of the fact the Clinton Email investigation restarted

Nobody leaked in a year that Huber was deep diving into the Clinton Foundation.
Keep that in mind as all the usual suspects continue to INSIST nothing is happening/going to happen.

Ever wonder how traders get in stocks before they explode? 🧐

Or find options that move 1,000% in a single day/week?🤯

I made a thread going over exactly how I find these stocks BEFORE they take off 🚀
👇👇👇

So, let's start with the software I use…

Finviz!! Finviz is a free website that I use to scan for stocks.

They have a lot of other cool features as well, but I only use their scanner.
👇

Head on over to finviz and go to the screener

Click on the “All” tab on the top and put in the criteria in the next tweet
👇

This is the first scan that I use for bullish swing setups
✅Quarter +10%
✅Week Down
✅Vol over 400k
✅Optionable
✅Price > $20
👇


The next scan I use is the opposite of the first one.

Simply change:
✅Quarter +10% to -10%
✅Week Down to Week up

This is my bearish scan for swing setups. 👇
