Being dragged down!

Can we about the people who are supposed to support us and help us grow in business? I have seen about 80% of businesses fail because there was no money to buy stock or materials.Why? Because the business did not make any money to do that.

There has been a business in my Kasi selling cooked food. During the day relatives would come and dish themselves shocking amounts of Food saying they are just tasting. The business didn't even run for three months and was shut down.

We even have friends who want credit. I mean guys this is pure disrespect.

There are a lot of similar scenarios I can talk about but I am sure you get the picture. Why do we do that as black people?

We are not helping or building anything, in fact we are tearing the foundation. I think we need discipline to call these people to order. Let's stop with tendencies that keep us stagnent and poor.

Develop that mind.

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.
