Day-planning how & why  Some of us plan
some of us don't
some of us succeed
and some of us won't.
(.anon [me-no-poet])
Well, no, planning and succeeding definitely don't have a IF/THEN relationship, at least not necessarily. But depending on who you are, how you function, why you function, what's your environment like, what's your work like, planning or no planning can make a huge difference.
I don't have an office, neither do I need one. I can usually get everything done at home or in some cafeteria with wi... read more Comments (0) / Link to this topic - http://www.businessadvicepro.com/business-and-profit Day-planning-how-why--51.html Doubble-up on your money, not enough? When you think of doubling up your money then it doesn’t really sound like anything special, right?
Especially if you consider you have something like 5000 EUROs (or dollars for that matter). Let’s say you have 5000 and you are capable of turning it into 10 000 in a month. Generally speaking, the 100% growth is great here, but it didn’t make you that much richer, did it?
It’s the same with smaller sums, well, especially with smaller sums.. Eg. Take 1000 dollars. You turn it into 2000, b... read more Comments (0) / Link to this topic - http://www.businessadvicepro.com/business-and-profit Doubble-up-on-your-money-not-enough--40.html Keep the consumer attached Before making the first purchase, the consumer has the power, but when making the second buy, the company has the power – because the buyer is involved with the product he bought from the company and now needs to buy add-ons from the same company. Eg phone companies – you buy internet, but now you also need to add phone, digital TV etc via the same company. Be sure to remember it and use the same idea to attach your customers to you.... read more Comments (0) / Link to this topic - http://www.businessadvicepro.com/business-and-profit Keep-the-consumer-attached--37.html The game of probabilities While this is mainly a business blog, I discovered one fine post from my old blog about investing and I thought I'd share it with you. At the time of publishing this post I felt it might be good idea to talk about the game of probabilities and stock markets (well, I still do). I have no intention to dive deep into this topic. However, I think it would be interesting to look at the market as a game of probabilities. Good poker players use the probability theory all the time. They know what is the... read more Comments (0) / Link to this topic - http://www.businessadvicepro.com/business-and-profit The-game-of-probabilities--30.html (Why) sharing your know-how does not hurt you It’s not uncommon that when someone learns about something new, he or she is not willing to share his or her knowledge. If everyone knew about it and acted on it, it would be too common knowledge, strategy or whatever else to actually work anymore. And you wouldn’t have an edge anymore. Because now everyone knows about it and everyone uses the knowledge.
Or a company is not willing to say how it does things. Being afraid that they will be copied and this copycat starts to hurt you. Taking aw... read more Comments (0) / Link to this topic - http://www.businessadvicepro.com/business-and-profit Why-sharing-your-know-how-does-not-hurt-you--26.html Quality surveys – huh, the bad and the nasty In order to get feedback about your services or products you often ask people to fill in different kind of long and nasty surveys. Surveys nobody really feels like filling because they are so long and boring. And by the end of the day you might have a handful on answers but nothing useful. There’s actually only one main thing you should ask your employees, clients and potential customers - what am I afraid to find out? ... read more Comments (1) / Link to this topic - http://www.businessadvicepro.com/business-and-profit Quality-surveys-huh-the-bad-and-the-nasty--21.html Client is the KING (and you are a shoe) Everyone knows the expression but not many people act on it. To start with, you may be the boss of a large organization, you may be the project manager, you may be the one doing the actual communications with clients and potential clients. But what you really are is a shoe. And in order for anyone to buy a shoe it needs to fit. If it doesn’t fit or if it leaves a bad impression or if there’s no guarantee or if you just don’t like the salesman, you don’t buy the shoe and you go to another shop. R... read more Comments (0) / Link to this topic - http://www.businessadvicepro.com/business-and-profit Client-is-the-KING-and-you-are-a-shoe--16.html Different ways of making profit Every company is different, but often the same theories can be applied to them. The most general one that is used is simple – you have a product and you sell it. But if that’s all you do, you are not taking advantage of the tremendous potential you’d have if you’d do something more.
#1 Lets imagine you have one product that you sell. If you’re narrow-minded, you might think that here’s not too much extra you could do. But you are wrong, very wrong. You can have one product, but if you vary m... read more Comments (0) / Link to this topic - http://www.businessadvicepro.com/business-and-profit Different-ways-of-making-profit--15.html Why do so many businesses fail? There’s always a great number of reasons for that. Many are very obvious and practical ones. But there’s one main thing you should think about – do you even want to succeed? Many people, even if just unconciously, don’t want to succeed. Sounds weird? Yes. But think about it for a second. Why people prefer failure to success? Because failure is often tried and usual, it’s what people have got used to. And success would bring changes. And people are often afraid of changes. So they rather go on do... read more Comments (2) / Link to this topic - http://www.businessadvicepro.com/business-and-profit Why-do-so-many-businesses-fail--14.html Hmm, growth? There’s different ways to look at growth. Potentially more profit, more problems; 1 point growth means 1 point more profit means one point more problems and work. Or is it? While that’s how the general theory could look like, it actually isn’t the full truth. By making new products with the old machinery/resources you can expect to take 60% profit. So - in case of increasing the number of trades or projects, expenses grow slower than income.
But there’s one thing to keep in mind though. Gene... read more Comments (0) / Link to this topic - http://www.businessadvicepro.com/business-and-profit Hmm-growth--5.html |
