Monopoly is a board game that has been causing family feuds since 1935. Monopoly was first marketed in 1935 during the Great Depression. It was an instant success and became a best-selling game in United States. Since then, over 275 million game sets were sold worldwide.

What is amazing about Monopoly is its ability to mimic financial scenarios in real life. On that note, here are four valuable real-estate and finance lessons that you can reap from the game.

#1: ALWAYS HAVE CASH ON HAND

In Monopoly, having cash enables you to purchase properties and pay fees for unlucky turns. You may need to shell out some cash to pay an opponent or to pay for a “Chance” card. It is important to always have cash on hand whenever you play. Do not spend all your money in one go!

In a similar way, you must spare some cash for unforeseen situations. The game teachers us about the importance of budgeting and saving money. You need to save enough money to cushion the blow of rough times, such as during this pandemic. Establish your emergency fund by identifying your current financial standing. It is best to build a fund that can cover about six months’ worth of your living expenses.

#2: DIVERSIFICATION IS IMPORTANT

Let us go back to the game itself. If someone lands on your property, you will earn money. Players usually buy multiple spaces or properties around the board to increase their chances of earning money. Chances of earning are slimmer if you only have a few properties on the board. The same can be applied in real life.

You need to diversify your portfolio and scatter it throughout the different possibilities in order for you to maximize your earnings. Instead of putting everything in a single basket, make sure to diversify your portfolio with bonds, stocks, and so on.

#3: PLAY THE LONG GAME

Being patient is essential whenever you play Monopoly. You see, the game continues until there is a last man standing (i.e., the other players have gone bankrupt). Much like the game, you are playing for the long haul. Meeting your financial goals is a journey and not a sprint.

Whether you are saving up for your 2021 vacation or your upcoming retirement, you need to be patient. There will a be a few bumps and celebrations along the way. For instance, you may pay off your student loans first before purchasing a car. Setting up a new business venture will also take time and involve a lot of ups and downs. Ultimately, your hard work will help you achieve your goals.

#4: EXPENSIVE IS NOT ENTIRELY THE BEST

The most expensive assets may not always be the best decisions. Most Monopoly players want to earn the Park Place and the Boardwalk since they have the biggest payouts. However, they are also the most expensive pieces to maintain. Many people lose at Monopoly by using this strategy because they do not pay attention to the overall cost. Instead, they only pay attention to the cash flow.

Image Credits: pixabay.com

Those who win at Monopoly are the ones who focus on the value gained for the price paid. You will not win by merely owning the most expensive assets. You will win by making the most money. In investing your money in the real world, you will win by selling high and buying low. Zeroing your attention to the most expensive assets may set yourself up for losses.

Many of us spend a good chunk of our mornings to sending and reading emails. Surely, email-related tasks are permanently part of our to-do lists. However, do you do it with confidence and proper etiquette?

#1: REMEMBER THAT EVERYTHING IS DOCUMENTED

As writing emails become second nature to us, we sometimes forget that our work email is not always private. Remember that your work email technically belongs to the company. It can be fully monitored. In the age of fast-paced social media, an unpleasant email can easily spread out in a matter of seconds. You will not be able to retract a statement that fast! So, be professional at all times when you are using your work email.

Work emails are part of your company’s formal written records. Sometimes, these records can be used as admissible documents in the court. Those emails can be shared as a part of any legal proceedings and can be used directly against you. Thus, you must be careful in writing emails that contain sensitive information or commentary about other employees or clients.

#2: SET A REALISTIC TIMELINE FOR DEADLINES

We all have different work habits and some people do not have a sense of urgency when it comes to completing deadlines. Instead of writing “The deadline is tomorrow at 10:00 am!”, you may write something similar to this: “When can you get this done?” You may also write how much you will appreciate it if he or she can finish the draft today because you will have enough time to discuss necessary changes before the tomorrow’s deadline.

Help your co-worker see that you cannot extend or push deadlines because of him or her. We all exhaust our resources to meet the deadlines. It is only fair for others to do the same. Asking about the person’s timeline can instill responsibility because he or she knows that there is someone waiting for his or her output.

#3: HEAD STRAIGHT TO THE POINT

When giving out suggestions, you may write: “I think maybe we can…” This statement does not exude confidence and assertiveness. Instead, you may write: “It will be best if we can…” The second statement gets straight to the point too.

Everyone is busy, including you! It is best to get your point across as early as possible. Start the email with a quick and friendly greeting to address the person. Then, follow it up with the request or issue that needs to be addressed. “Input needed for project X by Tuesday (December 1), at 3pm”, writes Employee A. This message will alert the reader right away. Do add supporting details in bullet points or separate paragraphs so that no part of the request or issue is left out.

#4: STOP APOLOGIZING IN EMAILS

Refrain from starting a message with “sorry to bother you…” The act of sending an email entails a small intrusion on the reader’s time. If you really need to communicate via email, keep it short and concise. You do not need to apologize for sending out important matters. Moreover, apologizing throughout the email takes away the main idea of your message and diminishes confidence in you as the sender.

#5: DO NOT SPAM YOUR CO-WORKERS

As said above, everyone is busy. Please do not spam your co-workers with multiple emails every time you have a new idea. Keep a running list of the things you need to discuss or to ask to your co-workers. Then, send the list once a day. Saying that “it can be easier to discuss this in person” is better than re-writing an email for an hour with multiple threads.

Spare your energy to productive matters. Have a quick chat with the primary person over a cup of coffee. This way, you will be able to get your point across efficiently and you will be able to receive feedback at a faster rate.

#6: FORWARD NECESSARY EMAILS

Save your reader’s time and energy by using the “forward” button exactly where you are in the conversation. By doing so, your reader will immediately spot the message that you want him or her to see. Your reader will avoid shuffling through a pile of previous messages too! Furthermore, you can write: “let me know if you have questions” upon sending.

The post Starbucks x Kate Spade New York is coming on 1 Dec appeared first on MoneyDigest.sg.

Starbucks is not the best coffee in the country, but a cup of their coffee or two can make a person happy. Toyota is not making everyone’s dream car, but it is known to be safe and reliable. Apple iPhones are not the most advanced phones in the market. However, people clamor for its new releases. Carrying an iPhone became a status symbol. These situations highlight the power of branding.

WHAT IS A BRAND?

A brand is more than just a name! It is a culmination of a consumer’s experiences with a recognizable product. Branding makes your products stand out from the rest. With the right strategies, a brand is powerful and can often lead to competitive advantage. You see, a brand develops loyalty among consumers. People are more willing to pay more for their preferred brands.

WHAT IS A LOGO?

A logo is the pictorial persona attached to the brand. It is one of the key elements that help build a trustworthy relationship between the product/service and the target audience themselves. A good logo is memorable, functional, and meaningful. Your logo must reflect the concept of your products or services. Moreover, the logo must include both the visual and conceptual values of the brand.

If a logo is not memorable, the consumers can dissociate it with the brand. For instance, we all know that a big checkmark is associated with Nike and its slogan: “just do it”. Design and branding consultants can help you develop an efficient way to communicate your brand to your target audience. This includes logo design.

HOW CAN INVESTORS PUT VALUE ON A BRAND?

Although brands are valuable to companies, brands are still considered among the intangible assets. Investors can put value on a brand by using these three main approaches.

#1: CALCULATE THE BRAND EQUITY OF A COMPANY

One of the simplest ways to put a value on a brand is to calculate the brand equity of a company. Take a firm’s enterprise value and subtract the tangible assets and intangible assets that can be identified (e.g., patents).

#2: FOCUS ON THE PRICING POWER OF A COMPANY

The next approach focuses on the pricing power of the company. Investors want to know how much of a premium the company can charge above its competitor’s product. To give the annual figure for how much the brand is worth, this premium can be multiplied by the units sold.

#3: COMBINE DIFFERENT APPROACHES

Perhaps the most time-consuming approach is to combine the above approaches with the proprietary measures of brand strength, the role of the brand in consumer decisions, and more. This comprehensive approach may not be practical to individual investors.

HOW ARE BRANDS SHIFTING NOW?

Creating a significant connection with people is essential for all organizations and a brand can embody attributes which consumers will feel drawn to. In the last several years, brands have become more visible through social media and other digital platforms. The consumer’s voice is louder and much more public now. There are even websites dedicated to championing the views of the consumers (e.g., TripAdvisor and Yelp).

Image Credits: pixabay.com

Consumers can easily publish their experiences about a certain brand with a few taps on their mobile phones. This amount of convenience can either tarnish or help your brand. Fortunately for you, you have the ability to respond to feedbacks and reviews. Responding to these can have a profound effect on how your brand is perceived. Take some time to think about your responses.

Gold prices have been on an amazing run in 2020. It has surged from USD 1,550 to reach USD 1,800  (Source: goldprice.org) in November 2020. Increasingly, investors also recognise the importance of having gold in their portfolios. When it comes to gold investments, investors are spoilt for choice since there are various platforms available in the market.  We researched across the various platforms to determine the most cost-effective and efficient way of investing in gold.

Comparison of Various Platforms for Gold Investments

Here is a comparison of the common platforms available for gold investments on key metrics such as transaction fee, storage fee, etc.

Everest Gold

Everest Gold’s digital trading platform is the first-of-its-kind to introduce real gold bullions broken down into digital gold units called Everest Gold Units (EGUs), that allows gold investors to trade from as low as 0.01grams. Every EGU is 100% backed by real gold and matched on a 1:1 basis.  Investors can accumulate their EGUs and exchange them for physical gold.

The minimum capital to trade starts from USD 0.60, the equivalent of 1 EGU, making it highly affordable for everyone. Moreover, its users enjoy fairer prices without paying high premiums commonly levied by retail banks. Fees are non-existent since there is no transaction fee and storage fee. The combination of no fees and fair price offers investors the chance to maximise their profits. This stands in steep contrast to transaction and storage fees typically charged by retail banks and bullion dealers.

Everest Gold platform is also highly accessible and allows investors to trade gold 24/7 on the mobile app. Such instantaneous liquidity is another attribute not usually offered by traditional retail banks and bullion dealers.

Everest Gold is available for download on Android, iOS and accessible from desktop.

Are you aware that recruiters are now using Instagram as part of their search for potential candidates? If no, it’s not too late to jump on the trend.

It’s probably a no-brainer that LinkedIn is the most preferred social media platform for recruiters and job seekers alike. But based on a new 2020 Recruiter Nation report, LinkedIn is facing a downward trend in job searches.

Instead, Instagram had a 20% surge with recruiters now using the photo and video-sharing social networking service as part of their scout for the best candidate.

Kelly Lavin, senior vice president of talent at Jobvite, an HR software firm, says that an individual’s Instagram content can give recruiters a personal idea of who the person really is. That is what sets itself apart from LinkedIn.

Even if you’re not desperately searching for a job at the moment, it’s still crucial that you pay attention to what you’re sharing with the world now. For those who are currently job searching, here are six simple ways you can use Instagram to help you land a job.

#1: Take charge of your content

Should you want a recruiter to check your Instagram profile and browse your content, you will have to make it public. In other words, Instagram is now your ‘open resume’ so take charge of what you’re planning to post.

Vicki Salemi, a career expert at job search website Monster.com, advises us to think about whether the content posted reflects you as a professional. She adds that the postings do not need to focus just on your professional pursuits but should paint you as a multidimensional candidate.

At this point, some of you might be thinking it would make better sense to set up a separate Instagram account. But Lavin reveals that it may feel less authentic. Since employers are looking to get a glimpse of you as a whole person, having a version just for the sake of a job search might backfire.

#2: Flaunt your skills

 Many of us use Instagram to showcase our lives and the new happenings that come with it. While you can still go ahead and post that picture at the beach or a new device you’ve just bought, Salemi noted that it’s essential to flaunt your skills, values, experience, and professional pursuits.

“For instance, if one year ago you completed running a 1,000-person conference and managed budgets and vendors, post a photo of you from last year saying something like, ‘Hard to believe this was one year ago! Lots of hard work but seeing the results of XYZ was (a) sweet success,’” she adds.

To ensure more reach and to demonstrate professionalism, use specific industry buzzwords and hashtags alongside your post.

#3: Use it to research more about a company

As much as recruiters or employers are using Instagram to their advantage, you can also do the same by using it to research more about a specific company you want information on.

Salemi points out that you can quickly get an idea of a company’s culture by browsing through their content on Instagram. Other than the inner workings of the company, you can also catch sight of upcoming job opportunities on their feed.

Pay close attention to their content and decide for yourself if it’s aligned with what you’re searching for in a company. Their images and messaging can give you key clues to their employee branding. Also, knowing what’s the latest ins and outs could be useful for any upcoming interviews.

#4: Engage to get noticed

Corey Berkey, vice president of human resources at JazzHR, a human resources consulting firm, advises job seekers to follow the companies that interest you and engage with their posts. But remember to do it only when your Instagram profile is ready.

Just like how you connect with key personnel and recruiters on LinkedIn, do the same on Instagram. But Lavin warns us not to overdo it. You can choose to like an individual’s or company’s posts appropriately and add to a conversation with insightful remarks to gain some attention.

#5: Play the hashtag game

Hashtags like #nowhiring, #hiring, #jobs, and other more country- or industry-specific keywords can bring to light some opportunities you might not have known before.

Salemi states that as you start following the employers that interest you, pay extra attention to the hashtags they are using. When it’s relevant, share their content and hashtags. That’s one way to show that their content resonates with you.

#6: Allow the algorithm magic to work

Avid users of Instagram will know how the Instagram algorithm can work to your advantage. As you follow your ‘dream companies’, the algorithm will offer suggestions for you to follow similar ones.

When the right associations and professional organisations pop up, here’s your chance to follow them to keep sight of trends and new developments in the various industries. If you can’t seem to find them on Instagram, head to the company’s website to see if you can spot their Instagram icon on their homepage.

As you slowly build your Instagram profile as a visual resume of your strengths, skills, and interests, do ensure that you do not neglect the type of content on your other social media channels too.

Set aside some time to ponder over the art of personal branding as the year slowly comes to a close.
