Try the opposite #timferriss
A former technical sales representative in the Bay Area reversed standard operating hours to bypass gatekeepers and directly reach CTOs and CEOs, resulting in outselling a major publicly traded competitor's combined New York and Los Angeles offices within two to three months. By shifting call times to early mornings and evenings instead of the traditional nine-to-five window, the individual eliminated the barrier of receptionists and decision-makers' assistants. This counterintuitive strategy transformed the lowest-paid employee into the top performer by exploiting the availability of executives outside standard business hours. The core finding demonstrates that inverting established industry norms can yield superior results when conventional methods fail.
La papeterie d'azar le Rideau #Shorts
The Azel Rideau paper mill in Tours, established in 1837 by three local papermakers, evolved from medieval grain mills into one of the region's first industrial paper factories. By the early 20th century, the facility reached its peak production, manufacturing nearly 5 tonnes of paper daily with a workforce of approximately 100 employees. Following its closure in 1939 and subsequent repurposing as a textile workshop, electricity generator, and fruit canning plant, the site was acquired by Maurice Dufresne in 1982. Dufresne restored the original water wheels and turbines, transforming the location into a museum that now generates its own electricity and powers the surrounding neighborhood. The site features a large collection of vintage vehicles and agricultural machinery alongside its preserved industrial heritage.
