Rural Business

  Under the umbrella of Venogroup we are driven by innovation and value addition.It dawned on me when I had a certain business dealing that most of the time we do not get much value for our money.  There are two things I would like to look at. First is the cash value, this is the actual paper money we have. Secondly is the use value, this is the value you get for using  a certain product/service. In a transaction there is usually these two, we pay for a service or a product.  But how often do you get value from using a certain product/service, and as entrepreneurs what value are we giving?As entrepreneurs we need to focus on the Use value.   How is your product/service adding value to your customers? I would like to take a kota for example, in a time where we  are health conscious and obesity is a disease that lurkes amongst us. What value in the contents of the  kota does one get?

But what I also struggle with is that  on rainy days we so struggle to work but come sunny days, we forget we ever struggled to work due to bad weather, like we do nothing about it until it happens again and again.   Also how often do you clean your place when it is raining?. Do you know how not nice it is to be served at a unclean place regardless of the weather?   There is ...

  It has been a while not engaging with you on this platform however I trust that you are still pushing and adding value in every transaction.  I have recently come across some obstacles and what I have deduced is that my thinking is flawed. Think and grow rich states that our   thoughts or impulses can be transmuted into their physical counterpart. We are what we let dominate our mind. I learned that we are not having  right thoughts, we think something else but habitually we do another. Our actions and thoughts must be in line, this will help assist in building great and big businesses. I have also learned the art of waking up at 5Am, meditating and contemplating how I am going to run my business.   As entrepreneurs there is so much internal work that we have to do prior focusing on our craft. We need to live our craft, when people use our products they should feel and find our energy, that is the kind of focus we need, it shouldn’t be about profits or hig...
