Ignorance

Ignorance.

People get to lose a lot of opportunities due to ignorance.

When you are in business you need to be woke and knowledgable. Markets change and technology is making everything and everyone irrelevant.

But if one is hard headed and think they know everything they will wind up like Nokia, Blackberry and Wal-Mart.We live in a era where information is everything and time the new currency.

People must be open minded and this comes from exposing one's self to a gang of information and  I always emphasise the importance of reading.

Can you start reading something related to what you are doing in your business. Find a similar business and see their strategies and learn how you can implement them in your business.

 Being in business is not easy but you need to be awake at all times.
Develop that mind.

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.
