    People seem to forget that business in the old days was based on capital and a fresh idea to earn money and keep clientele.

    Today business is about working for yourself because you cannot find work. The dynamics is deferent and the risks are astronomical then there is the diminished knowledge base. ..

    Today’s life is difficult and I think you may agree that getting the contract became a totally new ball game. It is about the bling, the politics not to mention the pitfalls.

    So the question is strategy and even now it is becoming a dog eats dog world.

      bussiness was 19 years ago when i started and still is all about who you know...especially when it comes to contracting.

      sales is a different ball game...its about having a product that every one wants or needs...the quickest way to get rich is to sell a product...not a service...like my father in law once said i dont dont got to site to help people even though i am the best in the bussiness because i could loose a 5 million rand order by not being at my desk...i could only make a small percentage by going to site...it also then becomes a big risk because i have to drive on our roads...or chances are a pole could fall on me on site...and he has got rich over the years...but still working at 80 years old...doesnt know how to enjoy life even though he has more money than you could win in the lotto...

      life is all about choices...try enjoy the journey and dont become a mole... like lots of us do...we get so drawn in by the money ...you can be in the middle of the desert and have an absolute ball...its what you make of it...dave seems to be enjoying the journey by all his pics of travelling...maybe i should get some tips from him.

        The pitfall with product is:

        A>> Availability
        B>> Storage Cost
        C>> How long does the product last
        D>> Product Popularity

        Still in the end of the day it is always about the social network. Really dangerous grounds especially in the growing market and need for contracts. All in all money making is a new kind or art and you cannot help but to work 24 hours a day just to earn a little something << if you are lucky that is.

          Not 'Bling' but quality, who cares if you drive a BMW it just means a larger HP but if you pitched up in a 'Morgan' that means serious 'Ka Ching'

          Burbury and Pringle are old school money, Armani is so 'Noveau Riche'

            Making money shouldn't be the goal. Making money just helps to achieve one's goals.

            Does that help any?

            Murdock, if you're happy doing what you're doing - if it gives you satisfaction - you're probably ahead of the game, my mate.

              the only thing i have decided to change in my bussiness is the direction of my soul...if i carried on in the direction i was heading i would have ended up in hell with all my mates...hopefully by the time i ended up there technology would have caught up and we would have had airconditioning

              but seriously i was living my life for money...booze and a good shag...riding my motorbike like there was no tomorrow...i would have ended up dead body and soul...i have decided to redirect my focus...i havent become a bible puncher yet nor do i go to church every sunday but do go to bible study to help me understand what the bible is all about and why i need to change my ways.
