Actuate – business intelligence with style  Successful business owners, such as possibly you, are always looking for ways to improve their business. Topics like hiring the right staff, paying them their satisfactory wage, evolving together with the market or why not evolving ahead of the market, are always on their minds. Money & income are important as well, of course, but if other sides of your business aren’t working then the $$$ side is usually problematic as well.
Another thing your business can definitely take some good advantage... read more Comments (0) / Link to this topic - http://www.businessadvicepro.com/business-and-profit/ Actuate-business-intelligence-with-style--71.html Internet Entrepreneurs - PC Super Warehouse Working as an internet entrepreneur can be a very satisfying job. You are free to set your own hours and income-wise only the sky is the limit. But to enjoy your work, there are two requirements. Firstly, you need to like what you do and secondly, you need to have the right equipment for it. That’s where Super Warehouse comes to play – they offer Laptops, cameras, scanners and anything else you might need to do your job.
Super Warehouse offers you over 50 000 products by a wide range of diff... read more Comments (0) / Link to this topic - http://www.businessadvicepro.com/business-thinking/ Internet-Entrepreneurs---PC-Super-Warehouse--68.html Self-help Success books III: Your Path to billions? Reading and learning is great – it makes you smarter and gives you new ideas, often you can find the ideas not in the books themselves but from between the lines when two wires just happen to get together in your brain. But like I mentioned in my previous post, in my case (I bet in case of many of you as well) reading all those books changed something, and the change wasn’t really positive.
While I still believed that I believed in the same things that I believed in during my high school year... read more Comments (0) / Link to this topic - http://www.businessadvicepro.com/business-thinking/ Self-help-Success-books-III-Your-Path-to-billions--62.html Self-help Success books II: Your Path to billions? In my last post I mentioned you two types of business books. Both of them have their benefits, both of them have their ugly sides.
And there come me. I have always had different opinions about things than most my mates. I have always believed in the possibility of the impossible things. Impossible according to the general audience I mean. During high school I thought I could sing and have my own band. Well, actually I couldn’t. Once someone invited me to submit my music to one artist site an... read more Comments (0) / Link to this topic - http://www.businessadvicepro.com/business-thinking/ Self-help-Success-books-II-Your-Path-to-billions--61.html Self-help Success books: Your Path to billions? Internationally known business men and women have written a number of books on how to become successful. Books by Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki (author of the Rich Dad and Poor Dad) have been read by many, loved by many as well as hated. Hated mostly for the fact that they don’t contain any specific know-how most of us would love to see. General information – that’s all what they are offering, nothing useful, just a combination of their personal opinions about something they think now that th... read more Comments (0) / Link to this topic - http://www.businessadvicepro.com/business-thinking/ Self-help-Success-books-Your-Path-to-billions--60.html To be unique or to be best, that is the question We all want to be best at something, yet to be best is often the most difficult thing to achieve. And by the end of the day, that’s not what matters at all.
Instead of striving for the best, strive to be unique. In order to be heard and noticed, you need to do something differently, you don’t want to be a ‘me too’ business as at least in case of small businesses you can’t survive this way. You don’t have any additional value compared to the big guys.
What people are interested in is some... read more Comments (0) / Link to this topic - http://www.businessadvicepro.com/business-thinking/ To-be-unique-or-to-be-best-that-is-the-question--56.html The River & Stephen King – value points Often, different spots in the same business have different values. Eg take a river – it’s always the same river, but the value varies in different locations, locations like ford, bridges, and nice beaches. Or take producing books – the publishing agency without Stephen King is not that good. Stephen King is important, not definitely the publishing agency.
Every business consists of a number of people – leaders, employees, why not consultants and clients. They all play a different role in you... read more Comments (0) / Link to this topic - http://www.businessadvicepro.com/people-management/ The-River-Stephen-King-value-points--43.html Change? Huh! The funny thing about change is that it’s our greatest ally for accomplishment, still most of us resist change. Some of us are explicitly running away from change. When you have been doing something the same way for days, months, years, decades and then feel like doing something completely different, then at first it looks like a good idea. But then you start thinking about it. It’s a 180 degrees different life you are thinking about. And that scares the hell out of you. That’s the moment you’re... read more Comments (0) / Link to this topic - http://www.businessadvicepro.com/business-thinking/ Change-Huh--42.html What if you were your client? This is another good WHAT IF questions to ask from yourself. You have a business, you have ideas how to make your business successful, you have your own problems, you have your clients to worry about. But forget about it all for a moment.
Put yoursel in your client’s shoes. Imagine you’re your client who needs your service, productt or anything else. Only now you will start to see what problems your clients have or may have with your service or product. Only now you can see what you’d need mo... read more Comments (0) / Link to this topic - http://www.businessadvicepro.com/business-thinking/ What-if-you-were-your-client--35.html What if you only had a year to live? Imagine you only have one year to live. Each of us would act differently on this event. Most likely the first day or two we would be sort of depressed and spend the time thinking. But what follows is important...
It doesn’t matter whether it’s one week, one month or one year, each of us would make changes to our lives one way or another. But one week or one month would be a bit too short time to even think about money and business, thus our chosen time frame is one year.
We would want to ... read more Comments (0) / Link to this topic - http://www.businessadvicepro.com/business-thinking/ What-if-you-only-had-a-year-to-live--34.html Business mindset Firstly, I think both you and I are tired of people saying you need think right, you need to be positive, you need to believe in things, blah blah blah. Always the same old story. Why can’t anyone tell you something worthwhile? Something you could actually use? Well, until a short time ago I felt the same. Not anymore. Because I wanted to figure out why are many successful people saying that. Often, they say that you need to believe and so on, but they don’t say why. But the why part here is the... read more Comments (0) / Link to this topic - http://www.businessadvicepro.com/business-thinking/ Business-mindset--32.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.

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 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 Business Q & A section open If you have a question that relates to the topics of this blog then feel free to send me your questions (address can be found when you turn your eyes to the right side of this site now).

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.
