Opportunities



 How does one take advantage of opportunities in the rural areas.?
We come across four trends we can observe to spot opportunities. Economic trends,social trends, technological advances and political actions and regulation changes.

 let's look at the first one.

Economic trends.

Here we look at the state of the economy and how people behave whenever there is a change, people  tend to spend more on luxury goods when the  economy is strong .

When the economy is weak people are hesitant to even spend their money and are terrified of losing their jobs.

What does this mean for you in the rural areas?
Firstly we need to understand the level of impact of the economic change. Are you really affected by these changes or you never even notice?

Do you see a change in your customer's buying pattern with respond to the economy. Most businsses in the rural areas  are not even aware or they might be but fail to analyse and take action.
Now this is where education comes in. The subject of economics becomes substantive in this regard.

Social trends.

The society has the power to influence what people prefer to buy.  They can make a trend and create a need for a certain product. But if we think about   it we never had a product or a service of a black company trending at no. 1, we need to have businesses that have such influence. Changes such as focus on health and wellness , emphasis of renewable energy, education, and  going green must be observed.

These changes fuel new business ideas.
Businesses must have accounts on all these social platforms and have websites. Being digital is the new trend.

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. Develop that mind

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.
