In life there are many obstacles that we encounter. I guess it’s not new to you that many entrepreneurs became successful after having so many trials and obstacles in life before they achieve what we call now as “success”. Although I believe in the saying that “Success is Journey, Not a Destination” still they have surpassed there once not so good experience in their life. Many times I always ask the Lord that somehow He should grant my wish to have a debt free and very comfortable life for me and my family and success in my endevours, but when I reflect on all the things that happened to me in the past, I realized that my situation now is not that bad after all.
I always forgot to count my blessings. Human nature are like that anyway. We are never contented. Specially entrepreneurs, that is why some entrepreneurs become rich because they are never contented on what they already have. But we should always remember that, as written in the scripture: “But Godliness with contentment is great gain, for we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out” I Timothy 6:6-7
Media have it’s magic, it will make something awful really nice because of good publicity. It’s really hard to become popular in the internet but in television you can attract a lot of visitors. Maybe that is a quick way for a blogger to become famous by exposing themselves thru those kinds of media and also by using magazines telling all those things that they are so and so famous about their craft.
A Trade Fair is an organized exposition of products and services of a particular industry; an event where innovative people and ideas convene. Entrepreneurs would do well to join one.
I think this newsletter I got would definitely add something to your coconut shell. This is not something new, in fact it’s an age old belief about how we should treat our customers but in this digital age, there are tools necessary for us to help us boost our business. Even if you are a small brick and mortar (real physical store, not an online store) retail seller, a tool like autoresponder (
I might say that I was thankful that I had a chance to work in a company that is ISO Certified. Things like these are taken for granted by employees and I’m one of them. I always think that those things are only for big companies because big companies that are certified by ISO have a advantage of bringing quality goods because they have procedures and are “in order”. That is the main objective of ISO. And since those big companies are ISO certified, they require their suppliers to be ISO certified so my previous employer was forced to have his company ISO certified because the company was their supplier of semiconductor bonding tools . I also have a feeling that he (my previous employer), also take that for granted and thinks that it was just an additional cost. But if you just think of the benefits you will have later on having procedures or processes documented, in the long run, maybe you will change your mind. I agree that doing documentations on your procedures can be tedious and costly. For example, if you have a business with many staffs, you will have to pay for their time making procedures instead of doing other productive work. And if you have a very small business and you are the only worker around, you will have to spend time doing them.
