Rural Business

  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...

  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...

 Different Education  I read an articles that having a degree/diploma/certificate will not guarantee a job because the skills that will be needed in the next 5 years require a different education. But what education is that and how can one acquire it since the governmental system certainly does not teach that? I believe that we may not change the system but we can surely change ourselves. This affects businesses because they will be serving a different market. What will it require? Because really most of the people in the rural areas do not have systems that runs their businesses. How will they survive then if currently they are seeing fires? What needs to change? How will it? Who will? This requires a change of the mind. But how can one change people's mind because they do not want education, they see it as a waste of time (of which in some sense it is)? We need leaders not the ones who are in it for the tenders and connections but one who is in for the betterment of peo...

  For most of us winter is a dread and to some it is such a great time to spend with family, friends and loved ones. For Business is something else. If your business offers a product or a service that needs people to come to the shop, then this is going to be a long winter for you. It will be cold soon and people will not be able to leave their houses, unless you are able to do house calls. Winter is such a scary time for some people but to some it is a prime time. Brace yourself for what is to come, prepare yourselves and never give up on that business.

  Progress. When running a business we face so many challenges. We sometimes ask ourselves if this is worth continuing with. But we should not give up. We need to measure our progress. If we see even a small bit of progress we must push even harder. We are in winter now and depending on the type of business you are in, business is going to be slow as people will be indoors. This is then an opportunity to evaluate your business, see what you have been doing wrong and find ways to improve. Find ways and things that you can sell for winter, find other streams of revenue. We want to see progress. Innovate and add value.

    As we continue celebrating our 3 rd anniversary of the blog, I want to look back on our journey. I will be sharing with you the most read blog posts and reflect on them. Feel free to comment on any one that has impacted you positively. The reason for the blog is to change people’s mind about everything but most importantly business. We do have ideas and want to start but we are somehow limited by the information we were taking in throughout the years. I want us to change the way we look at things, unlearn the things you know and find the new truth. What do I mean by the ‘’New Truth’’. Well as we are in the information age, our traditional ways are no longer relevant, we have AI, Robotics, and block chain and this technology is fast being adopted around the world. So I want people in the rural areas to start learning about this new technology and how they can better use it, because us failing to learn and adapting we will be far behind and will not be able to catch u...

  This platform is about simplifying online business opportunities. What does this mean for a business in the rural areas? How can we take hold of these opportunities? We all know that we live in a time where online presence is important and that most people are always on their phone. So we need to establish ourselves and engage on social platform. We need to use technology in our everyday operations. So the first step is to open an account in the platform. Visit the link after signing up. Go to log in, click on reset password. Reset it and log in. This will lead to you Midashboard where you will controlling and maintaining the account. The Midashboard is where one buy share (More on this later).

This is then where one creates posts, post pictures, videos, write articles and blogs. With every new activity one earns points (More on th...

  What the podcast is going on? Here is my new podcasts where I share my insights on personal finance, accounting and business. It is with great pleasure to announce that on Tuesdays and Thursdays I will be doing podcasts. This is going to be such a great journey and would like you to be a part. Let’s journey together to discover new ways of handling Money! Innovate and Value

  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...

How can we come back Post-Lock down? Alright so we are back on Venogroup, bringing you more insights on how to build and sustain businesses in the rural areas. No lies be told the past two years have been hard on everyone in the world. This is the time we are picking up the pieces and trying to build again. However the good news is that we are not starting from scratch, we have a foundation we have built before the pandemic. Again we have to be strategic in our come back because prices are high and people are not working.   There is no way you can increase prices with a high percentage. My biggest concern right now in business is that people do not afford certain things because of not having an income, yes most people do receive distress grant (R350) but that is only for basic needs. How then can people afford to buy our product? I mean we can have good branded products/services but most people may not afford them.   In my search for answers I was introduced to Miprofile. Mi...

  Pay day is such a good day for those expecting to be paid. It is that day one is paid for their hard work for all these days. It is however the opposite for the employer. It is always stressful and the day is just too long, especially when the salaries are exceeding the budgeted amount. But how can one maintain this account? The contracting thing is that you can not maintain the account while keeping everyone. One must consider the unemployment rate and the one's morals when having to cut costs. But this is inevitable costs must be cut. Therefore in business one must look at the jobs that without them the business suffers and other ones be part time or be rated.  Usually payroll tends to be high for most companies but if properly managed and assessing salaries time and again will help reduce the cost and stress.

Give up or rest? Have you ever tried your level best to achieve something but nothing seemed to work? Thats where I am right right now. I have tried and started companies but have failed. I however have not given up, I am still hoping and working towards the goal.  There is something I learned which is, some times one must not give up but take a break, rest and come back with new tectics.
