Why IoT projects fail?

With this post I decided to cover the failures of IoT projects - inspiration for the post came when I stumbled on a list of failed IoT companies.

Be obsessed or be Average by Grant Cardone – book review

Introduction The book Be obsessed or be Average by Grant Cardone is actually the first book that I am reviewing. One of the main reasons for this review is the fact that I highly recommend this book to pretty much anyone! However, I recommend this book especially to entrepreneurs, people who want to grow and develop, people who need a mentor and some guidance and also people that need motivation to achieve their goals. What I love about this book and about Grant is his no bullshit attitude. If he thinks some society accepted “truth” is stupid, he will just…
