Money.

What about money?

Right so everyone has that one amazing idea or that great business.
But as we all know everything needs money.
How do we then innovate,grow and expand if we do not have the money?
People go into business for different reasons
One of them is, in the rural areas to be specific that people are unemployed and they seek a way of making a living.

Now this becomes an ihinderance to growth because whatever profit is made goes to buy electricity,food, clothes and other basic things people need.
How then does one grow the business if this is the everyday life.?
I mean we cannot blame and expect them to go hungry whilst they have a running business.
Others must be taken to school with the same money.

So there is no way we can grow if the purpose of starting the business was not to grow.

This is where we then need to brainwash or unlearn some of the reasoning and beliefs we have.
We then need to read business books, watch or attend seminars and align ourselves with the relevant people.
The problem is not money really but it is that we lack knowledge and understanding of its power.

Supply

Supply- supply is the amount of a resource that firms, producers, labourers, providers of financial assets, or other economic agents are willing and able to provide to the marketplace or to an individual. Supply can be in produced goods, labour time, raw materials, or any other scarce or valuable object ( WikiPedia) I found this topic to be of great interest in a sense that one can be in and out of business because of a supplier. Demand and supply makes up the foundation of an economy. In business we can have an obstacle of a supplier. Recently I have halted selling a product due to a problem I had with a supplier. The supplier ran out of business and it was difficult to even find another supplier nearby. A supplier can increase prices meaning you also have to increase your prices. This seems simple but it tends to be difficult to maintain one’s clientele in such a situation. This problem of suppliers come with the risk of running a business, one must always be on the look...

Physical efforts

Taking care of your health. When you are in business you are taking care of alot of things and people. One must be both mentally and physically fit to exercise such responsibility. Reading is an exercise for the mind and working out or running is for the body. Business is about trust and how do you trust someone who looks like they are about to give birth? That is unhealthy. Heath concerns me alot and people need to educate themselves about the kind of food they need to eat. A healthy individual will run a healthy business. Physically appearance is everything especially in the service sector. Therefore, be neat, healthy and fit. Exercising for an hour a day will make a whole difference in your life and your business.

Competition

Why not compete? Competition is inevitable everywhere , people always want to be part of all the profitable markets , that's the business system. The issue is how do we deal with competition and how do we ensure that our services or products add more value than the others? I believe when one is faced with competition " Your Why" should direct you and help capture the market. But as you know how black people are, we want to eliminate the competition as soon as we see it, we tend to focus more on the outside factors instead of being strategic and aiming for innovation. Things in business almost always never go according to plan but one must find ways to stay relevant and to continue with the vision. Competition is our number one enemy and this then hinders our progress . We need to learn that it's an inside out factor not vice versa.
