Rainy days

 

How do you navigate bad weather conditions?

 As in rural areas our shacks or our buildings are not in such great conditions. We struggle to operate when the weather is not favourable but then how do we deal with such? 

How do we still provide standard service/product?

The thing is no matter the weather we still  have to open and as much as not every client will come but some will come. And it is in such conditions that we win our client's heart.

Either way we have make it through, we have to think, we have to create, we have to  improvise, we have to will, we have to do it.

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 nothing that people value like a clean place, this encourages them that they are getting more value for their time and money. These are the minor things that prevent us from growing because we are focused on today and care less about yesterday and never imagine the future.

Again it breaks my heart that when weather conditions are bad we have non- South African Business owners going about their daily routine of business and there is us who want to go home drink coffee and sleep.  No matter the weather these people are up and about money.

Let's re-think our business.

Innovate and add value.

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
