Today I was in the mood for Infographics…
I’m not someone who’s into statistics, analytics and data in general, so I took +Guy Kawasaki’s pitch outline example (for startups) as a reference.

A quick one on innovation.
I personally consider innovation as the process to make things better, not newer. And by that I mean listening to people and try to solve their problems, thus giving them better products and better services, improving what’s already existing in a way others didn’t think.
Three of the most successful companies in the world built and made stand out their businesses around the simple idea of improvement, rather than invention.

What’s great about being and working from home is that you can choose freely your favorite apps and software for your daily tasks. Since I’m into the creative field I can’t really give you an exhaustive list of tools I’d recommend and that fits to everyone, however there are some that may be considered pretty useful regardless of what’s your business.
