Business Business Business

When it's time to talk business, I mean serious business it makes good sense to talk to those persons who have toiled, achieved and succeeded. They are the ones who have first hand knowledge about how things work.

Take for instance T&T's Kirk Thomas-Makeup Artist extraordinaire, or Jamaica's renown Tyrone Wilson- the Managing director of the electronic magazine company eZines- they can tell you about the sacrifices they had to make in order to get to where they are today.

One things for sure, entrepreneurs must learn to be communicative, curious, adaptable in order to cope with changing circumstances and most of all, be self motivated because without that inner drive to succeed when things go wrong, they'd give up.

On another wave length, look at Sir Richard Branson, Global entrepreneur. He is admired in may circles and today I want to highlight one of his very profound quotes....here goes:

" Every business, like a painting, operates according to its own rules. There are many ways to run a successful company. What works once may never work again. What everyone tells you never to do may just work, once. There are no rules. You don't learn to walk by following rules. You learn by doing, and by falling over, and it's because you fall over that you learn to save yourself from falling over. It's the greatest thrill in the world and it runs away screaming at the first sight of bullet points." Richard Branson

It takes special people to succeed at business. Persons who have a broad back and a very tough backbone. This is what sustains them when they fall. These persons are also like sponges, wherever they go, they absorb all the necessary knowledge that they'd need to make their business work. 

They understand the necessity of planning ahead. Don't believe me, try doing a wedding with 300 guests without having any plans, even if you're an event planner, there would be chaos. 

A plan allows you to see possible challenges that you will encounter, the opportunities that exists, any weaknesses you need to work on as well as the strengths you have working in your favor.

Anyways, these were my little tidbits today, hopefully, I encouraged you to think a little more about business.

PEACE out :)
