TIRED OF OFFICE POLITICS?

This is why Putin has not received the vaccine

Vladimir Putin's annual press conference

Although he has not yet received the vaccine himself, Russian President Vladimir Putin has urged citizens to do so.

"Our health care professionals say the vaccines… are meant for people of certain ages...people like me are not yet allowed to take vaccines," he said during a press conference today.

Putin, who is 68, falls beyond the 18-60 age group that has been deemed as safe to receive the "Sputnik V" vaccine.

"I am a law-abiding citizen," Putin said. "And I always listen to what our health-care professionals say, therefore I haven't been inoculated yet, but I will surely do that as soon as it is permitted. Our vaccine is effective, and it's safe, so I see no reason why we should be afraid of getting a shot."

How does this approach to vaccination differ from the U.K.'s where the oldest citizens were among the first to receive Pfizer's shot?

Even as 22 million Americans lost their jobs... 97,000 small businesses closed for good... and riots spread through every major American city…

Wall Street continued to rake in money:

Goldman Sachs brought in $10.748 billion so far.
JPMorgan brought in $29.94 billion.
Morgan Stanley brought in $11.7 billion.

Now, how have these firms done so well when the entire world is paralyzed by a pandemic?

SMALL BUSINESS

How Facebook is highlighting small businesses

Facebook placed print ads in multiple newspapers declaring that it's "standing up to Apple for small businesses everywhere." Additionally, it published a blog post and website, making the same announcement.

It's easy to see this as an attempt to put a more sympathetic face on a PR campaign focused on protecting Facebook's ad business. Dan Levy, the company's vice president of ad and business products, argues otherwise.

Apple's upcoming restrictions on app tracking and ad targeting will affect more than just Facebook. Small businesses will feel the impact of these restrictions more dearly than the Facebook Corporation. Levy predicts that if Apple follows through with its plans, small businesses will struggle to stay afloat. Additionally, many aspiring entrepreneurs may never get off the ground.

WORK SMARTER, NOT HARDER

Remote work survival hacks that will get you through the pandemic

If you've found yourself working from home unexpectedly due to the pandemic, there are a few survival hacks that can help get you through.

One of those hacks is to ensure you set up a dedicated office space. This will help you get into work mode when you are in your office. You'll train your brain that while you're in your office, you are working and when you step away, you are off the clock. This will help minimize distractions throughout the day while you're trying to work.

Another hack is to keep your commute time. Even though you're not driving to work right now, you can use the time you used to commute to start your day by doing something you love. For example, if your commute to work used to be 30 minutes, make sure you get up in time to have 30 minutes to read a book, watch a show, go for a walk, or have an uninterrupted cup of coffee. What other hacks can help you adapt to working from home?

REACHING GREATER HEIGHTS

New Year's resolutions that will actually change your life

As the end of 2020 quickly approaches and we bid it good riddance, it's time to start considering your New Year's resolutions. You know, those self-help promises we all make, but few accomplish?

But did you know that there are a few things you can do to make sure you make resolutions you'll stick with?

It's no surprise that the vast majority of resolutions involve physical health and weight loss. And according to one study, most people fail to fulfill their resolutions because of how they phrase them.

A recent survey shows that if you resolve to add a healthy habit to your lifestyle rather than take away a bad one, you're much more likely to accomplish your goal. Instead of saying, "I will stop eating junk food," try, "I will start eating healthier."

So remember: aim to add something beneficial to your routine rather than take away a bad habit!

EASY MONEY ON THE SIDE

How dropshipping can bring in some extra cash

Dropshipping is one of the best side hustle ideas. You get to sell a product directly to customers without having to buy any inventory. Why's that great? Because it doesn't require huge startup costs, keeping your risk low. The manufacturer carries the inventory and ships it directly to the customer for you - and all under your branding in some instances. Your focus should be marketing and customer service – the lifeline of the business.

If you have a strong marketing background and want a side hustle that plays to that, this is the one. It's one of the rare side jobs that allows you to get into the entrepreneurial spirit without giving up your primary job. Read on for more details!
