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 lookout for any discrepancies and find solutions. In this case one needs to be pro-active and not reactive, but most of us are not so pro-active, we are always surprised by things happening in our business. The lack or limited supply can make or break a business. You can find that there is an increase in demand but no supply, this is bad for any business. Always ensure that you keep your head up for any supply changes.

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...
