Order of Operations
The sales chief, the HR chief, and the boss of a company are on their way to lunch when they stumble upon a beat up, but valuable looking brass container.
The sales chief picks it up and starts cleaning it with his handkerchief. Suddenly, a genie emerges out of a curtain of purple smoke. The genie is grateful to be set free, and offers them each a wish.
The HR chief is wide-eyed and ecstatic. She says, "I want to be living on a beautiful beach in Jamaica with a sailboat and enough money to make me happy for the rest of my life."
Poof! She disappears.
The sales chief says, "I want to be happily married to a wealthy supermodel with penthouses in New York, Paris, and Hong Kong."
Presto! He vanishes.
"And how about you?" asks the Genie, looking at the boss. The boss scowls and says, "I want both those idiots back in the office by 2 PM."
Moral of the Story: Always let your boss speak first.
Visual Giggle

11 Phrases Intelligent People Say Every Day (and So Should You)
By: Jeff Haden, Contributing Editor, Inc.
Image Credit: Getty Images
Sometimes what you say to yourself matters most of all.
Every success is based on action, but every action starts with a thought. That's why every worthwhile accomplishment starts with a change in perspective, or a new connection, or a renewed sense of purpose and motivation.
And sometimes success starts with remembering what is important to you -- and what you need to do, every day, to stay on the path to reaching your individual dreams.
That's why smart people say these things every day, if only to themselves.
1. "No one else is willing to do that, so that's what I will do."
Often the easiest way to be different is to do the things other people are unwilling to do.
So pick one thing other people won't do. It can be simple. It can be small. Doesn't matter. Whatever it is, do it. You'll instantly be a little different from the rest of the pack.
Then keep going. Every day think of one thing to do that no one else is willing to do.
After a week you'll be uncommon. After a month you'll be special. After a year you'll be incredible, and you definitely won't be like anyone else. (And, in the process, you will develop remarkable mental toughness.)

16 Basic Marketing Tools Every Single Company Should Know
By: Christina Desmarais, Contributor, Inc.com

According to this CEO, they can help any company sift through and make sense of the ocean of marketing data that exists.
Modern marketing involves seemingly endless amounts of data generated by a smorgasbord of digital channels. In fact, the ocean of marketing data available is so vast that it's hard to know what to focus on, particularly when a company is young. Fortunately, a wealth of inexpensive and easy-to-use cloud platforms exist to help sift through and make sense of all the noise. Take some pointers from Nikhil Hasija, CEO of Seattle-based Azuqua, a company helping businesses like General Motors, GE and Starbucks connect cloud apps and data, doing things such as linking Twitter to Marketo to Salesforce to Zendesk to Jira. Here are his words regarding the best digital tools any company should start with.
Website Content Management System (CMS)
Every company needs a website, but it's amazing how many companies create a website without a content management system. There is absolutely no reason to waste precious resources updating website copy. I use
WordPress because it doesn't require engineering talent, there is a huge community of users to tap for help, it offers millions of themes to choose from as well as a huge ecosystem of consultants, agencies and developers.
