boldleads-review-business-realFew businesses are able to enjoy a tremendous amount of success without having a strong system of support in place, although the type of support system can vary by a significant margin across differing industries. Determining the ideal typeof support system to put in place is a critical component in any strategy for long-term business viability, which is why business leaders must be entirely committed to analyzing the approach that is best suited to their company’s specific goals.

America Needs Small Businesses Like Slaske Builders

Business is the heart of any nation and as business grows, that nation grows with it. Take America for example. The lifeline of America is the small business, but with major corporations such Wal-Mart, small business is doomed. What does that mean for America?  Small businesses are absolutely crucial for building up the strength of the economy even if they don’t take in as much business and earn nearly as much revenue as a major corporation. What small businesses also do, is provide jobs opportunities. Slaske Builders is a great example of this and the way they build not only homes, but also the local economy and function  as the foundation for some of the largest corporations.

How exactly do small businesses improve the economy? Why should you give a local grocery store your business rather than going to Wal-Mart for your needs? Small businesses give strength to local economies by bringing the possibility to build and do more with the community. In a nutshell, without the small business as the foundation for everything to build on, America would collapse eventually because small businesses give support to other businesses and add balance.

Supplying employment opportunities are another way small businesses also help encourage growth of the economy. You wouldn’t go work for a major corporation at 17 would you? It happens, yes, but it is highly unlikely and very rare. Small business are the best place for you to start and get your introduction to the world by joining the workforce. The small business is also where you learn your first important life lessons to prepare you for big world and possibly working for that corporation. If there is a large business in the neighborhood, it can also reap the benefits of surrounding small businesses.

Self-Employed Businessman Peter Lik

If you have a service to provide to the public or for the public, you have a business. The better job you do, the more your business grows by word of mouth. Peter Lik is an example of a self-employed entrepreneur who has mastered his craft and his business thereby earning the title of a master photographer as well as the most wanted photographer in the world.

Of course like all business, he didn’t hit the ground running. Every person who demands more of themselves to be greater and leave behind a legacy faces many trials. The difference in a winner is when trials come, they push through them and do not quit.

Business Headache

I wake up every morning with a business headache.  The eye strain from reading all those reports is killing me.  Breakfast is a cup of coffee and three aspirins.  untitled (72) untitled (71)If you are in the same bout don’t worry it will get worse before it gets better.  The fact that you are even needing to read that many reports on your business is a good thing.  If your business was failing you would not have anything that needed reported on.  Just be thankful that you have a viable and growing business.  When you go to work and read nothing you will be looking for a job soon.  Home for Life Animal Sanctuary is a business in distress.

Terry Simpson MD Knows Business Ethics

As you enter the business community it is important to know the business ethics.  Business ethics vary by business but the basics are usually the same.  untitled (56) untitled (55)Ask yourself if the transaction that you are about to complete is moral.  Yes the basic morality should be applied to all business dealings.  If you don’t have a god moral compass then you will be constantly in trouble as the business world will draw you down the wrong path.  The east path is not always the right path.  If you are not comfortable with the deal then walk away.  The inner voice should lead you in your business decisions.  Terry Simpson MD has always been a straight shooter.

Home Business?

untitled (102) untitled (101)Is a home business practical?  Bringing business home can have its advantages.  You can write off the office on your taxes.  The fact that you are not having to drive to work can save big bucks.  The commuting can become a major expense.  If you can have that extra space for work and can get away as needed a home business may work for you.  Many home businesses fail as they do not fully commit to the concept.  Not interacting with the outside business community face to face can be problematic.  Home For Life Animal Sanctuary is a home business that works.

Business Gone Wrong

untitled (44) imagesP6QS390HWhat to do when business goes wrong.  When a project goes wrong the first thing is damage control.  So many projects that could have been saved fail from the cover up.  Ignoring or worse hiding the problems can destroy a project.  Do not let problems go and hope for the best.  Problems are to be expected and attacked like it was your jab because it is.  As a project manager I dealt with problems constantly.  If I let something go it would just grow into a bigger problem so I attacked it right away and put it to bed before going back to business.  Home For Life Animal Sanctuary has had its own challenges.

Cut Throat Business

untitled (18)Some practice cut throat business and get ahead on the backs of those that that used and abused.  I have the displeasure of dealing with several managers that believed that this was the only way to succeed.  I was intimidated by this style of managing and never liked it.  It worked to some extent but when the manager finally got where they wanted Karma stepped in.  I watched the demise of several managers that were abusive to their employees and managed with fear. It never worked.  I repeat…It never works.  The employees will sell you out the first time they get a chance.  Home For Life Animal Sanctuary  can attest to what I am saying.

Love Is The Best Business

Business is about helping someone fulfill a need and that is usually done with a product or service. A business helping others just makes sense and should be a core value that is adopted by every business leader. Alas, this is not the case. As businesses grow, most get caught up in responsibility and overwhelmed with having power. For business professionals, most times than not they often get too tied up their own projects or their own personal problems and do not give the time to think (because most don’t have time to think) about giving other people the help they need. As Olujic says often, “If you are chasing money, you’re doing it wrong.” Although, most have recently come to understand that the majority of their best clients, business partners and relationships in and out of business have come solely from helping someone.

Think for a moment, what is the best gift you can give someone? Some would say it would be your time because you are giving a part of yourself away that you can’t get back. Others would argue the best gift you can give is the gift that keeps on giving and that gift would be your knowledge. The difference between experience and wisdom is that experience is what you learn through trial and error and constant try, fail and adjusting. You go through the process and making mistakes and that is how you gain your personal experience. Wisdom is the same try, fail and adjusting experience except it’s not your experience. It’s someone else’s.

One of the most surefire and simplest ways to be a help and a blessing to others is to apportion your knowledge. Share it among those who can benefit. Anyone can be a teacher if you have the patience for the job and the right information for others to learn, and this takes a certain amount of love for others. There are so many opportunities each and every day to teach somebody what you have learned in your area of expertise. Once you take on the role of mentoring someone, you must challenge yourself to keep learning. The worst thing is for your pupil to come to you with a question you don’t know looking for an answer you don’t have.
