Use Value!

 

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? Is our health considered? Or rather what other options are there for those who mind what they eat?

 We need to move with the time, we need to innovate, we shouldn't conform to tradition but we need to disrupt culture to a point where we have no choice but to change.

As entrepreneurs we can make as much money as we can but without adding value to those we serve we are as good as fraudsters 


Don't just sell, serve and add value

Understanding Financial Reports: A Guide for Business Owners

Financial reporting is a fundamental aspect of any business, large or small. It involves the creation and presentation of financial data that reflects the company's financial health, performance, and economic standing. While many people are familiar with the term “financial statements,” financial reporting encompasses more than just the end-of-year profit and loss figures.  What is Financial Reporting? At its core, financial reporting is the process of compiling and presenting financial data to provide a clear picture of a company’s operations and financial status. It includes a wide range of reports such as balance sheets, income statements, cash flow statements, and more. These reports help business leaders, investors, and other stakeholders make informed decisions about the company’s future. However, it’s important to note that financial reporting isn't just about creating these formal documents. It also involves ongoing tracking and recording of financial transactions to en...

Lets get started.

  Getting started again. So since we said we are starting afresh, where do we start exactly? My number one problem and I believe it is for most people is money.  We may have ideas on how to get started but the money we make in business can only cover certain things. What do we need then? More and more money? I don’t think so. We need to establish a relationship with money, we need to understand it and have discipline to keep it, because it is more about keeping it than making it.  But first we need to learn how to make it because we can’t keep what we don’t have.  I have come across a social Media platform where one can connect with other entrepreneurs and market their business. The interesting thing about this platform particularly is that whenever you use it, you get credits points which can be redeemable for Cash. This alone for me is worthy of all our attention. Basically we get paid to be on the platform. But now one can ask what this has to do with busine...

Burning Out

  I would like to engage on what I am going through and this is something that I am currently struggling with. This is a big contributor to my tiredness and counter productiveness.   As a young person who is passionate about change and working hard I have a problem of saying yes to every exciting new project, forgetting that I actually have work to do but I always tell myself that I will balance. There is a problem with wanting to be part of every vehicle that is moving in the name of change and business opportunities. I tend to find myself in the cross fire as I am needed to be in many places at once. I would make an example of what happened this weekend. I happen to be part of a board of directors of a certain organisation and we had to meet and perform certain tasks but I had clients I had to attend, this then made me to be 3 hours late for the meeting with the board, imagine an entire director late by 3 hours? This made me incompetent and there was no way I could not att...
