CHEAP FLIGHTS TO BUSINESS SUCCESS – PART 5

-
Let’s look at another reason why you may not want to go into or grow a business...
Not Having the Patience or Time to Create and Grow a Business

I’ll be honest with you, my dear friends.... I’ve only felt this way when planning a business I’m not that passionate about and/or just don’t have the resources for. However, coming down to someone considering venturing into business generally, here’s my advice.... You can get someone you can trust to plan one for you. This is possible. The person could give you ideas on how to go about it, and if you have the funds, you can start it up and get a manager to look over it for you.
I’m not like that though. I always prefer to plan and run my own business myself. I don’t really trust people much when it comes to my passions... or my money. From experience, getting someone to manage a business for me (and people close to me) has never worked out very nicely. They end up knowing more about the business than you do, and cheating, lying and stealing from you.
Next advice..? Just find your passion.
Once you do, you will find the time. However, some people have the time and patience to create a business, but don’t have the patience to keep it running or grow it, or sustain it, so at a point, they lose interest. When you do (lose interest after building it), my suggestion would be to sell it, then move unto some other passion. The mistake some people make is that they feel obligated to stay even when they don’t want to. You don’t have to put yourself through that. Running a business reluctantly is as good as not running it at all. You will destroy it before you know it, and you know where it will start? In your service delivery! Then, it will go on to poor equipment maintenance, and not making due re-investments. And you will be too busy blaming the consumers, the government, God, the world! So, I’ll advice you sell it while it’s still worth something. And you know what? That’s even a good business idea.

Some people like to build businesses from scratch (from as little as simple repackaging businesses, to large refineries), sell them, and move unto the next... then sell again. Some just buy and sell businesses. Think about it!
So..., that’s my view, from my experiences, concerning not having the time or patience to plan and grow a business, my dear. To get some insight into how to handle the next concern which you might have (Raw material availability (especially when it comes to production), and Getting it right (whether it’s a formulation or otherwise), please, move unto Part 6 of Cheap Flights to Business Success.

A Truth About Life: Life Has No Destinations. It Is An Eternal Journey.

Hello again and welcome to Uvelopin (which is you developing). Today's agenda is to share another truth about life which I have found to be definite, and it is that life has no destinations, because it is an internal journey. I found this to be true through my personal experiences, that of others, and good old logic! By logic, I am referring to the law of diminishing returns and the nature of all growth curves. It's simple! Simply put the law of diminishing returns says that, on a fixed factor (a non-flexible factor, such as land), you can only increase a variable factor (a flexible factor, example labour) in order to achieve increasing productivity so much so that, you'll eventually get a peak of productivity, after which total productivity begins to decline, and marginal productivity (the extra productivity you achieved with each addition of the variable factor on the fixed factor) decreases so much so that it becomes negative. I could give a better explanation and dr...

We’ll start with how one can identify a less-developed country. Here are some of the characteristics of a less-developed country: A country without a lot of industrial activity (low industrial performance) High poverty rates High rate of population increase (population explosion) Low per capita income Low gross national product Shortage of capital (public and private) Low infrastructural development High dependency of the populace on the government, as well as high dependence of the government on foreign aid High unemployment rates Almost (or complete) total reliance on primary goods exports (e.g. agricultural, mined, or other ‘extracted’ products) Predominance of agriculture Overall low level of productivity and investment (both foreign and domestic) Predominance of social and political instability and insecurity Low relative development index Now we have gotten that down, let’s look into auto-centric development. The word “Auto-centric” ...

How To Achieve Personal Development: Have A Schedule.

Hello, and welcome to the Uvelopin blog. The focus for today is how you can achieve personal development by having a schedule, or filling up your calendar. It is important to fill up your daily calendar, and here's why: having idle hours or days means leaving a hole for just about anything to fill up. And something most certainly will; it may even be something stupid, or unwanted, or undoing in your life. The simple saying, "an idle man is a devil's workshop", is more true than you may think. Recall those times or days you had nothing to do? How did it make you feel? Restless, anxious, bewildered...? Then, some stupid idea came to your head, and you decided it was better to execute that stupid idea than be idle. Not your fault, but your fault. Not your fault, because the mind is not wired by nature to be idle or stationary (as the body is). Think of it this way..., your mind is still active, and busy, and dynamic even when you are asleep, or your when body is in som...
