JUST BUSINESS

Business is business.  No one should ever loose that focus to mix it with pleasure, unless your business is pleasure.  Even those whose business is to provide pleasure to people still maintain that focus.  One big way to lose the customer is to take them for granted.  There is only one boss, which is the customer.  In addition, he can fire everybody in the company from the chairperson on down, simply by spending his money somewhere else. 

There is one verifiable fact about business success, and that is, there are no secrets to successful business.  It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure.  Quite often, the superior person understands what is right while the inferior person understands what will sell.

Lessons from successful entrepreneurs confirm that when you innovate, you can make mistakes.  However, it is always best to recognize and admit them quickly, and get on with enhancing the other necessary innovations.  In the dynamic business environment, nothing can be said to be a hundred percent reliable, except death and the taxes that you pay.

Nonetheless, one should determine who would serve as the literal reliable voice of the company for the customer.  A business need product champions who act on behalf of end users, playing the customer advocate.  This too requires good leadership from top down.  Ideally, good business leadership requires creating a vision, eloquently communicate the vision, intensely own the vision, and persistently drive it to completion.  One must always think about the customer to do the business just right.

JUST BLOWING MY HORN.

According to rational expectations and hypothesis, people do not make errors in a systematic form.  People make errors, but are able to correct them instead of repeat them.  Therefore, they can fall back on their sense of logic to bring the best out of most situations.

Sometimes, one rises above the base instincts, but it is often at a bloody cost.  People become sorry they tried, especially when the reaction that results is terrible.  The rational expectations are that experts will never make forecasting errors and the economy will always remain at the full-employment level.  However, we live to find that experts are humans just like everyone else.

The political deal is that there is an improvement, but so did a new kind of wage slavery.  Everything changes when working people grew too powerful, and unions too corrupt, jobs do and will continue to move overseas, where labor is cheap.  America is trying as the third world watches and emulate.  In this land of dreams, are two elephants that star each other to a standstill and there is a backlash.  The logic behind these two giants is that if one is ruling, the other will make things hard to make the ruling giant seem ineffective.

Programs that are supposed to be established by the ruling giant to help small businesses and people are analyzed, overanalyze, and put on hold.  The frustration shows in the failing businesses and masses that are not getting what is promised them.  The fighting by these two elephants tears the ground and brings down trees.  Regardless, things do work in spite of the fights.  However, it would work better if there were fewer obstacles in the way of good programs.  Now, the two giants are squaring up again.  Accusations against counteraccusations fill the airwaves.  America which way is up?
