Blank Wills You Can Print: Fill & Download for Free

I’d be writing some computer tricks that I think most of the people don’t know about. Some of these tricks are already mentioned on Quora, some I found randomly surfing on YouTube and some of them I discovered meself, messing with my PC out of boredom.The Illuminati FolderWell, technically its just a folder hidden in plain sight. You can use it store your files which you don’t want your boss/sibling/ partner to see or to store your 100 gb study materials ;pFind a suitable folder to hide or create one on your desktop. Right click => Rename. While renaming it, hold the ‘Alt’ key and press “0160” from the numberpad to input the ASCII values of an empty space. Your Folder name is now hidden. To hide the folder icon, right click the folder => Properties => Customize => Change Icon. From the list of available icons, find the blank one and apply it.Voila, now you have a secret vault for yourself.Note : 1)You have to use the numberpad, the number keys on top won’t work. 2)Place it somewhere in the bright part of background else you may see the outline.The Window WobbleI found this a few years back using a Windows 8 Laptop. According to the Devs, this thing exists since the time of Windows 7.When you have a hell lot of windows open, and want all windows except one to minimize, grab that window by the top bar and “shake” it to minimize the unwanted windows.The Super KillThis works only in Windows 10. Whenever your PC gets hanged to the extent that you can’t even use Task Manager , use this method. Sometimes, it happens that when some PC game gets hanged, it turns the screen black and when you try to open TM it opens but is not displayed on the screen and hidden under that blackness. What you do here is make use of Windows 10’s multiple virtual desktops feature.Assume that the program Mass Effect 2 has made my computer to hang.Make sure that Task Manager isn’t open in the present desktop you’re working in. Switch to a new virtual desktop using Ctrl+Win+D. On the new virtual desktop, you’ll see that the hang in the previous desktop won’t affect this one. Simply open Task Manager and terminate that damn program causing the hang.The Quick ShotTo right of the Start Button, there are a few programs which you’ve pinned. They are called Quick Launch Programs. You can use your keyboard to launch/minimize/maximize them. Each program has a assigned number. For example, the first program(left most) is ‘1’, then’2′ , ‘3’ …..and so on. You can easily launch them by pressing Win+‘assigned number’.Here, clicking Win+5 will open Chrome, Win+8 will open Xbox, etc.The ReplicatorIf you want to open a fresh copy a a window, simply click on it using the Middle Mouse Button(the wheel). OR you can hold the Shift key and left click on it normally.The Secret SendUsually when we right click an item, and hover over the “Send to” sub-option, we get a list of possible destinations. What you have to do is while Right clicking, hold the Shift key to unlock a few more options in the options list as well as a few more destinations in the “Send to” list.The Pro SnipperThe new Snipping tool is seriously underrated. Instead of taking a screeenshot of the whole window using Print Scr button on your keyboard, you can selectively ‘snip’ out portions of your screen and modify them in the improved Snipping tool. All you have to do is start up the snipping tool, select the desired area and save it or modify and save according to your will. You can also use Shift+Win+S to open an instance of Snipping tool and copy the snipped part to you clipboard for copy pasting purposes.The DIY ShortcutsI’m sure a majority of you don’t use this super time saver. Just Right Click the program and go to properties. There, in the Shortcuts tab, you’ll find the Shortcut Key option. Click on the Shortcut key field and enter your desired combination of keys. Save it and use them in the future to quickly open the programs.The Resurrection ProtocolWhenever you delete an item, it is not lost completely. No, I’m not talking about Recycle Bin. Even if you delete it from the Recycle Bin, there’s still an option to get it back. Just Right Click on the folder your file was present in, go to the Previous Versions tab, select the version you want to restore, open and view it if you want to check, click on restore. You’ll get your file/folder back.Note : You can’t use this function if you System Protection is switched off. To switch it on, open System Properties, click on System Protection, select the desired drive, click on Configure and enable System Protection.That’s all I have to share folks. Please upvote it as I really worked hard on this answer.—HESOYAMNote :1) No computers were harmed during the making of this answer.2) The titles are just some fancy names I came up with last night. Any similarity to some actual title is purely coincidental.

Here are few which I like most..Reverse Indexing : you can easily access last element with “-1” index without knowing the length. Likewise reversing the string in Python, it’s one liner"HELLO WORLD"[::-1] 'DLROW OLLEH' Free style typing: Sometimes you feel like you are just typing,if 'GREEN' in ['RED','YELLOW','GREEN']:  print"GO" List comprehension (similarly for other iterable tuples, dicts): It makes code shorter but sometimes code loses the readability. Sometimes I don’t understand my own code after a month. :)For example, you can write thisl=[] for item in range(0,11):   l.append(item) print l [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10] as one liner,[item for item in range(0,11)] [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10] Also, you can apply if condition within list comprehension. Suppose we want cube of odd numbers in the range 0 to 10,[item**3 for item in range(0,11) if item%2 != 0] [1, 27, 125, 343, 729] Further, you can apply if else condition both,[item**3 if item%2 != 0 else 'EVEN' for item in range(0,11) ['EVEN', 1, 'EVEN', 27, 'EVEN', 125, 'EVEN', 343, 'EVEN', 729, 'EVEN'] Another example of list comprehension would be matrix multiplication with nested for loops. Generally, we would do something like this:list1 = [1,2,3] list2 = [4,5,6] l=[]   for item in list1:   for num in list2:   l.append(item*num)  print l  [4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 12, 15, 18] Now you can do above with this one liner list comprehension:[item*num for item in list1 for num in list2] [4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 12, 15, 18] Dynamic typing: You can re-assign variable different values and type will be dynamically changed. Like below string to float.my_var = "Hello" my_var = 10.0 String multiplication: You can multiply string “a” with any integer like,'a'*10 'aaaaaaaaaa' Chain comparison: For example if you want to check if a number is between 100 to 1000num = 200 if 100<num<1000:  print True Iterable: You can iterate through any dict, list, string, tuple or any other iterable object.Range generator: Instead of storing the list in memory you can use generators, for instead, range which can hold any list of integers.range(0,100) Pass: Leave the code block blank and come back whenever you want to write the block again.f-string in Python 3Extra else condition with while: I usually use it to check if while condition actually met or not.X = False  while X:  print"True" else:  print"False" for loop: Unlike C,C++ you don’t need to worry about initializing the variable and incrementing it. Python made this so simple,for letter in 'PYTHON':  print letter Thanks!! Follow me

As a Coach for Entrepreneurs, I help my clients start businesses from scratch. Here is the process I use:Step 0: Get clear on WHY you Want to Start a BusinessStarting a business is on the bucket list of almost anyone I know that has previously worked for other startups. It just seems like the logical next step. The end destination. The ultimate goal.But it’s not. At least not for everyone!Before you do anything else, get crystal clear about your reasons, intentions, and motivations behind starting a company. Why do you really want to start a business? Are your reasons strong enough to endure hardships and compelling enough to survive a major drop in quality of life in other areas? Will these reasons still be there when you have pivoted twice, broken up with your girlfriend and not seen daylight in 3 months?Don’t lie to yourself. Starting a business is not a light decision. It will change your life. For the better, if you do it for the right reasons. For the worse, if you rush into this trying to fill a void that has a different source.Step 1: Organize your Idea with a Mind MapMind mapping is one of the most powerful techniques to brainstorm, record and organize your ideas. You can think of it like visualizing all your thoughts in the form of a tree: your main idea is the tree trunk and all connecting thoughts represent the branches which can further branch out as well.This helps you group together single ideas and create hierarchies so you can put a structure around all the noise in your head.Source: Using Mind Maps MagazineThere are two mind mapping ways that are most effective for getting the full picture on your business idea, as they allow you to move single ideas around and re-organize as you go:Mindmapping Software: Tools like Mindmeister, XMind, and MindMup allow you to easily drag and drop your single nodes around, create hierarchic relationships and add notes.Post-It Notes: Brainstorming with Post-It notes is super simple and super fun. Just write every single thought on a separate Post-It and organize them all on a big whiteboard, a window or your wall. Once you are done, snap a picture of your mind map to save it for later reference.No matter which method you go with, here is the best way to explore and structure your business idea with mind mapping:Step 1: Dump all your thoughts: For 10–15 min, write down all your thoughts and ideas related to your business idea as single branches or Post-Its. Don’t overthink it — no idea is too unrealistic, stupid or irrelevant in this stage — editing, organising and removing comes later! This will get messy, but it’s okay. The most important thing is that you capture ALL your thoughts about your business idea in an unfiltered way.Step 2: Organize your thoughts: Now it’s time to clean up the mess! Group together related ideas, find overarching categories and create hierarchies and relationships. Add ideas if you find they are missing, eliminate duplicates and edit where necessary. The goal is to create a complete and structured picture of your business idea.Step 2: Simplify & ClarifyAfter you have organized all your thoughts in a mind map, it’s time to get to the very core of your business idea. The goal here is to get so clear on your business idea that you can describe it in one single sentence.One sentence? You might think I am crazy — your business idea is so much more than that!Of course it is! But this exercise helps you to get really, really specific and forces you to clearly articulate how you are creating value and for whom.You can use this template: (“My company, _(insert name of company)_, is developing _(a defined offering)_ to help _(a defined audience)_ _(solve a problem)_ with _(secret sauce)_”).If you are struggling to create a single sentence right away, try writing one page about your business idea, then shortening it to one paragraph and from there describing it in one single sentence.If this exercise is entirely impossible, you might need to go back to the drawing board to achieve the necessary clarity to move forward with your business idea.Step 3: Refine your Idea with FeedbackTake your one sentence business idea and talk about it to as many people as you can! Though this might sound counter-intuitive at first (people could steal your idea!), it is one of the best strategies to get direct feedback and refine your idea. Also, remember: ideas are worthless — it’s the execution that matters!There is two ways in which getting such diverse feedback can be extremely helpful:1. Take a good look at the people that love the idea vs. the ones that think it is stupid — this can be a great indicator for finding your target audience! What do the people that love the idea have in common?2. Listen closely to the objections (for example: “This is a great idea. But have you thought about…?”) and use them to refine your idea. Use the feedback to think through all possible challenges and difficulties and make a plan to address them before going forward with your idea.Talking to people and getting good feedback also fuels your motivation to start executing!To get the most out of this exercise, listen attentively without interrupting so you can get the person’s unfiltered and uninfluenced opinion!Step 4: Define your Target MarketIf you are a first-time founder, you might think that everyone can be your customer. But this is usually not true!Most successful business solve a specific problem for a very specific target group aka niche.Yes, there are other examples, but the chances that are you are gonna be the next Zuckerberg are very small. Like in the 0.0000001% range.So you better make sure your business idea is solving a problem for a very specific group of people. This will make finding customers and marketing to them so much easier.The Riches are in the Niches.One of the best exercises to get clear on your target market is to create a customer avatar. To do that, ask yourself these questions:Where does your ideal customer live?Who old is he/she?Who does a normal day look like for this person?What is his job?What does he do in his free time?What are his biggest problems and frustrations?For B2B businesses, define the following points: business type, industry, business size, role you are targeting (e.g. head of sales if you are offering a SAAS sales tool).Source: DigitalMarketer | Marketing Strategies That Actually WorkOnce you have your ideal customer, you are also able to analyse the size of your market and evaluate if it is big enough.Step 5: Survey your Target MarketSet up a simple questionnaire to get a better understanding of your target customers, their needs, wants and willingness to pay. You can use an online tool like Survey Monkey or even easier, work with Google Forms.You can download my free template with 23 Questions to Survey your Target Market here.After analysing your results you should be able to answer the following questions:Are you really solving a problem for your target group with your product or service?Would your target group be willing to buy your product/service at a price point that makes sense for you economically?What are existing competitors, similar products and services in the market and how happy is the target group with them?What should be core features of your product/service? What is most important for your target customer?What could be potential marketing channels for your product/service?Step 6: Analyse the Competitive LandscapeYou might be thinking: “I can skip this step, I have no competition! My idea is unique!” I hate to break it to you but more likely than not, you are wrong!One of the most common mistakes of starting a new business is failing to analyse the competition properly. So make sure you have a clear understanding of:WHO you are competing with directly: Start with collecting all players that offer a similar product or service. Through your customer survey and simple Google searches you should be able to come up with the main competitors. Tools like Crunchbase, SimilarWeb and Wonder as well as analysing forum discussions on Reddit or Quora (search for terms like “how can I solve problem x?” and “what is the best way/tool to do x?”) can give you further insights.A great way to visualize your competitive landscape for yourself or an investor’s pitchdeck is the “Magic Quadrant” that analysis your position in regards to the competition along two main metrics. Here is an example:Magic Quadrant (Source: Pitch Deck Coach)2. WHO you are competing with indirectly: Companies that offer similar products or services as you are your obvious competitors. But it’s not the only ones you are competing with!Think of it this way: you are basically competing with anyone and anything that can be used to solve the customer’s problem.Here’s an example: Coca Cola does not only compete with other soft drink brands but also with tea and coffee brands, energy drinks and other stimulants — if the customer’s want is to be more awake and get an energy boost. The Petal Diagram is a great way to visualize all your indirect competitors based on common features or solved problems:Petal Diagram by Steve BlankStep 6: Define your USPOnce you know who you are competing with and have a good picture of all existing products and services in the market, it is time to ask yourself two questions:What makes my product/service special? How is your solution better than existing ones? Is your product/service faster, cheaper or more convenient? And is this advantage good enough for people to choose your product over another one?Why am I uniquely capable to bring this idea to market? Why are you (and your team) better than your competitors? Is your technology, expertise, experience or team superior? What gives you an unfair advantage over the competition?Step 7: Test your Prototype with a Select Group of PeopleDevelop a first, basic version of your product or service. This is your MVP (Minimum Viable Product). Depending on the complexity of your product this could mean you are manually simulating a process that technology will do later on. If it is a food product, you can get people to try the first recipe. If it is a service like consulting or coaching, do practice sessions for free.Basically, think of the simplest version of your product and service that possesses its core features and start getting real feedback from potential customers.This process is integral to refine your Product-Market Fit. Furthermore, it allows you to build up a small group of supporters than can help push your business once its launched.Another option is to build a landing page or list your product on a crowd-funding website to collect pre-orders that will help you proof demand and fund your product development.Step 8: Define your Revenue ModelThe big question of all new entrepreneurs: how will you make money? If you can’t, you might have a nice idea, but not a business.Here are some of the most common business models:Sell your own product or service (single purchase, pay-as-you-go, subscription business, licensing fees)Sell someone else’s product or service (affiliate marketing, commission sales, franchising)Brokering/Matchmaking/Marketplace Model: take commission or get paid for premium listings.Ad revenue (especially for media businesses like apps, blogs etc.)Freemium Model: give part of your product or service for free and make money through ad-ons or premium versionsStep 9: Create your Go-to-Market PlanOnce you have successfully refined and validated your idea, it’s time to finally get down to business, literally! Even though things never go to plan and everything will most likely take twice as long and cost twice as much as you expect, it is still crucial to make a proper project plan for bringing your business idea to life.This will help you to understand the estimated scope and cost of the project and make key decisions about who to hire and how to pay for everything.Your Go-to-Market Plan should at least include the following points (and more, depending on your business):Product:How will the product be developed?What are the milestones?How much will it cost?Who will be involved? Who is responsible for what?Will there be a beta version before it is officially launched?Marketing:How will you acquire customers? Which channels and strategies will you use?How much will it cost you to acquire one customer? Calculate the CAC (cost per acquisition) to see ifPeople:Do you need one or more co-founders? If yes, with what background?Who do you need to hire to develop and market the product?What do you need to do to get the key hires on board?Finance:How much will it cost to launch and market your product?How much will you spend on human resources?How much will you spend on other things like software, office andHow will you finance your endeavour? Will you pay for it yourself, take a loan, get a partner on board or reach out to investors?How will you sustain yourself financially while building your business? Will you keep your day job and build the business on the side or are you able to go all-in from the beginning?TAKE-AWAYAs a business coach for entrepreneurs, I have come across two major types of people who struggle to build successful businesses:Type 1 has lots and lots of great business ideas but never gets beyond the ideation stage. They seem to be paralysed by either not knowing what to do next or fear of missing out on a better idea.Type 2 gets so excited by the idea that they jump right to Step 9, or even worse print their business cards and hire all their friends as co-founders and thereby leave out the essential steps of refining and validating their idea.If you see yourself in type 1 or 2, I hope this article will help you to take the necessary action steps for making your business idea reality! Even if you don’t follow the exact steps or order — whenever you are stuck in the startup phase, reading this article will help you identify why you struggle to move forward and what you need to do to resolve your obstacles!
