Business and it's step by step process

Let's examine the process of physical product sales. 

Product creation- 
Inventing, prototyping and approving a product. 
without this step there isn't anything to manufacture.

Manufacturing- 
Product creation on a large scale 
you need something to sell,  without this step the product is virtual. 

 shipping- 
Transferring  the product from one to another place. 
The product must be  delivered to the store or if it is sold online then it needs to be delivered directly to the consumer.

Advertising-
Exposing the product to an intended buyer. 
Without this step all the other steps are worthless.

Sale-
In store,  online or in person.
The pinecle and  the part most connected to advertising.

The product would not sell if it was missing any of these steps but advertising is the most important part of the process.

business principles, stores

Remember that WalMart started somewhere too.
1. Open a store, focus on the product, worker and customer, in that order!
2.Save!   spend less then you need (my shoes are falling apart but I don't need new ones yet).
3.Invest in your business with your earnings, eventually build another store and repeat until you can hire someone to replace you.
4. Small business laws are difficult in U.S. but if you have the will you're going to be successful! 
5. There is a free lawyer at every local town hall, go see him for advice!


good luck!

How to invest $5 for the maximum return

I remember reading Tina Sellig's (executive director of the Stanford Technology Ventures Program) book- What I wish I knew when I was 20. (I don't know Tina, though I wish I did, and I love her book.)

She gave her students the exact same problem. Here are her words, with my emphasis. If you don't have time to read the whole thing, just skim and read the words in bold.

"What would you do to earn money if all you had was five dollars and two hours? This is the assignment I gave students in one of my classes at Stanford University, as part of the Stanford Technology Ventures Program...

 Each of fourteen teams received an envelope with five dollars of “seed funding” and was told they could spend as much time as they wanted planning. However, once they cracked open the envelope, they had two hours to generate as much money as possible. I gave them from Wednesday afternoon until Sunday evening to complete the assignment.

Then, on Sunday evening, each team had to send me one slide describing what they had done, and on Monday afternoon each team had three minutes to present their project to the class. They were encouraged to be entrepreneurial by identifying opportunities, challenging assumptions, leveraging the limited resources they had, and by being creative.

What would you do if you were given this challenge? When I ask this question to most groups, someone usually shouts out, “Go to Las Vegas,” or “Buy a lottery ticket.” This gets a big laugh.. These folks would take a significant risk in return for a small chance at earning a big reward.

The next most common suggestion is to set up a car wash or lemonade stand, using the five dollars to purchase the starting materials. This is a fine option for those interested in earning a few extra dollars of spending money in two hours.

 But most of my students eventually found a way to move far beyond the standard responses. They took seriously the challenge to question traditional assumptions—exposing a wealth of possibilities—in order to create as much value as possible.

How did they do this? Here’s a clue: the teams that made the most money didn’t use the five dollars at all. They realized that focusing on the money actually framed the problem way too tightly. They understood that five dollars is essentially nothing and decided to reinterpret the problem more broadly: What can we do to make money if we start with absolutely nothing?

They ramped up their observation skills, tapped into their talents, and unlocked their creativity to identify problems in their midst—problems they experienced or noticed others experiencing—problems they might have seen before but had never thought to solve. These problems were nagging but not necessarily at the forefront of anyone’s mind. By unearthing these problems and then working to solve them, the winning teams brought in over $600, and the average return on the five dollar investment was 4,000 percent! If you take into account that many of the teams didn’t use the funds at all, then their financial returns were infinite.

So what did they do? All of the teams were remarkably inventive. One group identified a problem common in a lot of college towns—the frustratingly long lines at popular restaurants on Saturday night. The team decided to help those people who didn’t want to wait in line. They paired off and booked reservations at several restaurants. As the times for their reservations approached, they sold each reservation for up to twenty dollars to customers who were happy to avoid a long wait.

As the evening wore on, they made several interesting observations. First, they realized that the female students were better at selling the reservations than the male students, probably because customers were more comfortable being approached by the young women. They adjusted their plan so that the male students ran around town making rese...

A friend did the following:

1. Visited an estate sale, shopped carefully, for one great item.
2. Negotiated down to $5.
3. Sold it on eBay for $25.
4. Repeated the process, using $25.
5. Has been buying and selling for just 6 months.

Has made $14,000 so far on a single $5 investment.

Edit: After re-reading this it sounds a bit like those get rich quick schemes. Not the case, quite the opposite. This is a hard working person and someone I know personally, and that money was made over 6 months, not over one month.'

How to spend 1000 dollars and become rich for 14 years

1000 dollars well invested!
 $89 for the first four and then $100 for future ones.  The full patent that the company will file for you will last for 14 years.

Recap:
$356 + $600 = 10 provisional patents
$44 left over

What to do with these patents.
Idea = simple cardboard prototype + phonecall to the company + skype meeting with the deciding person (5 minutes)= as long as you sold your idea you're set for the next 14 years.

To learn exactly how to accomplish all this just read Stephen Key's book "one simple idea"

As always goodluck!

Read everything, every day

I can't bring myself to read a lot of books but I read hundreds of articles, sometimes even in one day.

Basically articles are condensed books, usually the reason that I can't make myself read a book is:
1. They over explain concepts
2. I know everything they're trying to teach me
3. The book just takes easy to long

An article will be short (writers that write weekly posts don't want to spend time writing pointless information) if you're there you probably know a bunch on the subject already.

Articles are usually short enough to skim so you know if the information is relevant and new.

Today I once got reminded that starting a venture is the most important. seriously just do it!

I choose to adopt

There are so many children that aren't being taken care of, instead of having my own children I choose to give a childhood to children that need one.

It will be harder but most important things are.

I will have new things to write about when I start writing again.

china- how to speak to a supplier

Alibaba.com is a great place to buy resale items, group buys and samples.

What is a sample? A sample is one of anything.
 Even if the company isn't selling samples young can still buy them if you know how to speak with a business.

Tips.
Always say hello and I look forward to your reply.
Always speak in a simple way so the sales person can understands you (most don't speak very good English so unless you speak mandarin Chinese speak simple.

I recently spoke with a company that sells gaming laptops on alibaba .
they immediately wanted to know how many I wanted to buy.
 This didn't work for me since if I was going to buy for resale I wanted to actually judge the quality of a sample.

First i ask so it's a conversation not a demand.

"Hi, can I order a sample to see if it meets my standards."

Then I tell them that they decided to allow a sample by asking not if but how much. Specific questions and no "the" because it doesn't exist in Chinese.

"How much will laptop cost?
How much will shipping cost?"

bottom line
Sometimes you can get a free sample but most of the time you will have to buy it and pay for the shipping.
The sample will cost less then store price but more then wholesale.

good luck!

When I was a 13 year old boy, my friends from school took me to a fertile orchard on the edge of town.

They assured me that it was one of their parents land so I naively believed their story.
   
I climbed to the top of a pear tree and threw down three ripe pears and headed for the last one to eat.

While I was thusly occupied, an old lady came out of the only house  in the orchard and started yelling at me to come down.
I came down and started asking what the problem was.
She responded with a blow with one of her crutches to my right leg.
Still holding the pear I kept explaining that I didn't know it was her land, when she finally heard me she believed me and apologized. I offered to give back the pear but she let me keep it saying I was a good boy.

That pear was the best tasting pear I have ever eaten and all because I was honest. Not all stories end this way.

Once I was cussed out for being beaten up but that's another story.

The process
Research the subject, articles on growing tomatoes rewritten and combined.

Start a website or sell on Amazon,
ebay, google play, etc.

Write about a problem with a solution, write about the solution and sell!

I'm going to write a eBooks and so should you!

A book I'm reading and I think you should too

The six figure second income.

This book might sound like a sham but it's not. I read 64pages today and so far it spoke of fears we have as entrepreneurs, why they're invalid and of a few ways to make money the smart way.
I  also shattered my screen so I'm interested in how my reading will suffer.

Short review
I've been taking this focus and emotion stimulant and I have to say for $10 a bottle these pills are the best.

problems
I use to have problems with anger and depression but after two days I had no problems even reducing my dose from 9 to three pills day!

Reaction
I was very skeptical at first no side effects from an herbal supplement?

A little bit over a year I have to say that I am now more focused, never angry and actually more awake.

What this herb mix is used for
Bipolar, suicidal depression and any thing mood related.

The simple writing technique for the nonwriter

This one is a bit harder for the people that have tried writing before.

Start from the finale (end) and then start discovering (not inventing) the story that led to this the last sentence. Write the story sentence by sentence always going back.
After you finish just put the sentences in the right order.

  An example of my writing.

As I lay there wailing for death I though of my love Nadia.
I thought the monster was dead but I was wrong and My fears of were confirmed when I saw the tip of a sword sticking out of my chest.

this took me 30 seconds, imagine what I could do I'd I tried!


Another way and another example.
Write your book in eight parts each part represented by a word then sentence then paragraph and chapter.

Example

childhood. Love. Disaster. Fight. Failure. Success. Love found. Ending.

My childhood was a happy one, till everything started falling apart.

I met this wonderful girl and we spent many quiet days together.

My love left and I was left alone.

I fought the policeman with all my
strength but he would not let go!

I was thrown in jail like so many before me.

I got out eight months later for good behavior and found a man that taught me all that I now know.

Unexpectedly my childhood friend and only love walked through the door to my café.

I asked her to Mary me and we spent the rest of our lives together.

Now that you have techniques and examples just write your book!
As always good luck!

How to start a review blog

Amazon amd resale

So you wat to import and earn 10k a month? Well this is a way to do it and have an unlimited amount that you can earn.

It all starts with a supplier, find a good one that makes many different things.

Post the item or items on Amazon.com. Even if you're on the last search results page it doesn't matter, you'll earn lots anyway.

set the shipping to free but charge a bit more for the item.

Order as many razors or anything that was ordered and ship it to the buyer. What you made her is not yours it's meant for the building of your business.

Get a pro account from Amazon to earn more, Amazon will now take care of the advertising.

Eventually you'll sell enough that Amazon will take care of everything.

Simple recipe for any meat that i made up

Take the meat (I'll be making chicken), cut into pan sized pieces.

Marinade.
Mix an acid (citrus or red wine) with
spices.

  I use rosemary, lemon, garlic powder, salt, honey, pepper and a bit of cayenne pepper.

 Mix all of this together in a metal bowl and add the chicken.

Let it sit in the marinade for half an hour to four hours (no more).

Heat the pan on high (for sixty seconds or untill you can sprinkle water on it and it evaporates instantly) add oil ,salt, and proper, mix, add the chicken, brown.
  Add marinade, cover.
cook for 45 minutes on medium low..
you're done!

good luck!

Honey as a money making product

Now raising bees is a hard business but it's much more lucrative and easy I'd you do it my way.

Honey mixed with herbs makes the herb eight times more potent.
This honey can be sold for for times more.

My way of making honey worth ten times what plain honey is worth.

Build a long five hundred square foot beehive, leave space in the center to install a hater, mix raw honey with the fresh roundup herb, feed it to the bees and viola! Year long prediction of honey in b many hives.

the building needs to be five hundred square feet so you don't need a permit to build it.

good luck!

Writing eBooks for an income

So you want to or have written a book, you could party for publishing and maybe you'll earn a lot of money.

A better way

Publish with Amazon
Amazon requires a lot of information that you don't want to provide and it's it's quite a complicated process but they do have many customers.

Publish with google books
Much simpler and Google has many costumers now.

The easiest way
Publish your book on your blog.
Write a book (I could write a book on business), set up a PayPal account and get someone to program a sale part for your website.

Hope that all the current or future writers take advantage of these three ways and make some money!

My blog, other blogs,

Take some time to think every day, best two hours before bed (two-one hours before bed the brain needs to star winding down).

Sorry about the short post but I'm "Really busy today".

the "F it" factor or "the ultimate way to get past laziness and difficulty"

Every time I'd get into a situation that I didn't feel safe in I would get through by saying f it.

F it means  something else to me than it does to you. To me f it means "screw fear".

  Every time I talk to a girl "f it", every time I do something scary "f it".
If I'm to lazy to work out F it!

I've reprogrammed my brain to do hard things by seeing them as challenges. Everytime I said f it and done something hard whatever it was always became easier.

How you can do it!

Don't want to do the dishes? F it.
Every time you say f it and do whatever you don't want to your brain associates with ease because of f it.

I hope this will make you a stronger person.
