Five for Friday is a regular feature here on MatthewHooper.com. Five for Friday features five pieces of content that I have come across on the web throughout the week. It is most likely posts from other blogs that I have found insightful or meaningful. It may also be a quick video or a piece of audio, such as a podcast, that has intrigued me.

1. How to Write a Pitch that Works

This article gives some insights on what makes a great pitch. It mainly focuses on email interactions, which is how most of us make contact these days.


2. Innovation Over Tradition

An intriguing look at how the gap is widening between those that know, understand and adopt new technologies versus those that use technologies solely because they’re cool.

3. Don’t get Caught up in the Ego-Driven Pursuit of a Life that Looks Good on Paper

This is a bit of an older article but I just came across it this week. The nucleus of the article is about how we shouldn’t get bogged down while trying to pursue a career that looks good on paper.

4. Too Smart For Your Business?

An insightful look at how it is important to stop over analyzing and just push forward on your main focus.

5. Discomfort and Growth

It’s too easy to get comfortable doing something that is boring. This article suggests ways to breakout of the boredom.

Your Turn

So what have you uncovered this week? Post some of your gems in the comments.
