Walking down Memory lane

 

 As we continue celebrating our 3rd 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 up.

 At venogroup we seek innovation, we thrive for excellence and add value.

We started by highlighting the fact that most people in the rural areas do not have disciplines, know-how and principles of running a business, we encouraged people to change their minds from being workers to owners of businesses. We looked at how most businesses are operated by the owner, no employees just the owner who does everything, we also noted how this affects the business when the owner is not around, it means the business is not around. 

The most read post is the black magic vs innovation, this was an interesting topic because we know that people do funny things to run/sustain their businesses. But we need innovation that will bring change and add value, because the former is too risky, what if one can no longer make the sacrifices, what happens to the business then?

We talked about embracing competition and it helping us to strengthen our ‘’Why’’. I still believe that one needs to do more travelling to see what people are doing out there so that one can come up with new ideas. We are limited by our everyday environment but if we can explore, we will be exposed to more interesting things.

 One of my favorite post is about how we always think that people who sell are poor, this type of mentality is going to be leave us a broke generation, but we move. Also I found an affordable way to register a business, just visit this link https://www.fnb.co.za/cipc/#/form/startcipc and start registering your business with FNB, this process also gets one a business bank account.

 This has been a truly amazing journey and more is still to come.

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...

Target Market.

 Appealing to the target market. In the past week I have took it upon myself to understand my target market. I reached out to them and talked to them about how they would want to buy my products and to my surprise I got  answers I was not even thinking about. Then I realised that we entrepreneurs have a fancy way of saying who our targets are and how we will reach them but these ways are not really appealing to our targets. We have these strategies we want to implement but not appealing to the market. So I thought that I had it all figured out as to how I will market my business only to find that it doesn't work. So I had to reset, rethink and restructure everything. And again I have to constantly communicate with my targets if how I am doing suites their preference.  So for this week I challenge you to REALLY look at your target and if your strategies are working. Innovate and add value.

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...
