Investing can be complicated.

Let's make it simple.

10 terms every entrepreneur and investor should know:

1/ Internal Rate of Return (IRR)

IRR tells you what your average return is when time value of money is factored in.

Let's say you have an option to get 100K today or 100K in 5 years.

You would obviously prefer to get paid today so you can reinvest.


This also prevents future inflation from eating your purchasing power.

An investment that realises returns sooner than later will have a higher IRR.

2/ Multiple of Money (MoM)

Also known as cash-on-cash return or multiple of invested capital (MOIC).

Example:

Total cash inflows (proceeds from sale of a company) = $100M
Total cash outflows (initial investment) = $10M

MoM would be 10.0x.


3/ Rule of 72

A “back-of-the-envelope” method to calculate how long it would take your investment to double (2x).

Example:

How long would it take to double my money if I invest in the S&P 500?

S&P 500 average return = 8%

= 72 / 8

= 9 years

Want to be a 10x better communicator than 95% of people?

Use McKinsey's 3-step Pyramid Principle:

McKinsey is the most powerful consulting firm on earth.

• $10B in revenue
• 30,000+ employees
• 90+ years of history

This is their 3-step process for structured communication:

1/ Start with the answer first

It's natural to build up to a conclusion after presenting the facts.

Instead, give the answer first.

This allows your listener to quickly process your recommendation.

"What should we do?" → "You should do X."

You'll be more persuasive.

2/ Group and summarise your supporting arguments

Your ideas should form a pyramid under your answer.

Your ideas at one level must be a summary of the ideas below.

For each supporting argument, break down into a group of 3.

Three is the magic number– memorable and persuasive.


3/ Logically order your supporting ideas

You want to make sure your ideas belong together.

1. Time order - follow if there is a sequence of events
2. Structural order - break a single thought into its parts
3. Degree order - present your ideas from most to least important

@SriramKannan77


Smrata-Matrarti-Nasanah', Srimad Bhagavatam states that the one who remembers the name of Dhanwantari will be cured and protected from all the diseases. Temple is known for its Oushada Prasada with Ayuvedic medicinal values, called Mukkudi.


Mukkudi Nivedyam is a very special offering to Dhanwantari. It is prepared by using dry ginger, pepper, pomegranate peel, cumin seed, turmeric, rock salt and other medicinal items. It is offered during 'Usha- Pooja', and is later on distributed to the devotees present there.

Stan Lee’s fictional superheroes lived in the real New York. Here’s where they lived, and why. https://t.co/oV1IGGN8R6


Stan Lee, who died Monday at 95, was born in Manhattan and graduated from DeWitt Clinton High School in the Bronx. His pulp-fiction heroes have come to define much of popular culture in the early 21st century.

Tying Marvel’s stable of pulp-fiction heroes to a real place — New York — served a counterbalance to the sometimes gravity-challenged action and the improbability of the stories. That was just what Stan Lee wanted. https://t.co/rDosqzpP8i


The New York universe hooked readers. And the artists drew what they were familiar with, which made the Marvel universe authentic-looking, down to the water towers atop many of the buildings. https://t.co/rDosqzpP8i


The Avengers Mansion was a Beaux-Arts palace. Fans know it as 890 Fifth Avenue. The Frick Collection, which now occupies the place, uses the address of the front door: 1 East 70th Street.

#3/thread on Angkor wat

Christianity and islam may be the largest religion of today’s world but Sanatan dharm has the largest religious monument in the world in the form of Angkor wat. It is situated in combodia and spread across over 400 acres / 1.6 km².


It was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1992, which encouraged an international effort to save the complex.
It was originally built as a Hindu temple dedicated to the god Vishnu. In Khmer, the Cambodian language, Angkor means "city" and Wat means "temple grounds".


So Angkor Wat means "Temple City". Its original name was Vrah Vishnuloka or Parama Vishnuloka, meaning the sacred dwelling of Vishnu in Sanskrit.
But, it gradually turned into a Buddhist temple towards the end of the 12th century & is still used for worship today.


Angkor Wat was initially designed and constructed in the first half of the 12th century, during the reign of Suryavarman II, as the king’s state temple and capital city. It was built without the aid of any machinery, as there was no machinery available at that time.


Evidence for these dates comes in part from inscriptions, which are vague, but also from the architectural design and artistic style of the temple and its associated sculptures.

Another aspect is that the five central towers of Angkor Wat symbolize the peaks of Mount Meru,

It's another day to expose Peter Alabi @pastorpeealabi of @HoFChurchNG & @ChristTribe. More victims have reached out to us. Unknown to many, Peter Alabi is actually an unrepentant serial sexual abuser. We know that he's been lying that he has repented and that the stories...

... we have put out so far are only with reference to what happened years back. But we can also confirm that he continued to prey on more victims even after he left Ife in 2016. We also know that Peter Alabi made serious attempts to sleep with some ladies during the lockdown...

A victim, who was one of those Peter Alabi tried to sleep with during the Covid-19 lockdown has shared with us some of the chats between her and Peter Alabi, which were initiated by Peter Alabi. According to the victim, when Peter Alabi's intentions became obvious, she decided...

... to play along and act like she was in concert with him. This eventually made Peter Alabi to reveal his covert intentions to sleep with her. The chat began on Instagram in March 2020 and continued on WhatsApp till June 2020. We will be sharing screenshots of the Instagram...

... chats below. Later today, we will share the WhatsApp chats which are more revealing and expository. Please see the screenshots of the Instagram chats between Peter Alabi (peterayoalabi) and the victim below👇🏾 @oauchristians @HoFChurchNG @peterayoalabi @funlola_alabi
