Make a life

Life is just as important as making a living

Problem Solving

If you want to provide a service or goods to the society because of the lack thereof then you are ‘solving the problem’ ….

If your first thought however to provide these goods or services then you would be ‘solving your problem’.

Motives are what drive you make sure before starting a business the motives are for the benefits of society first, then concentrate on you.

Being an Entrep

It’s not easy but try not to get lost in being like everybody else and you will see it was worth it

Why Stock Exchange

Though this is a risky business, stock exchange is a good way to have a share of your money in a safe place. Safe, is relative, but that is why we have brokers. We can limit them the same way we have limits on our credit cards.

Keep them on their toes

When it comes to money, and stock in companies, keep directors on their toes!

Go to the annual meetings and find out what the annual meetings mean to you. Do not just let the directors come and go and do as they feel without explanation. Ask questions and get answers!

JSE

In stock exchange the main purpose is to enable people with money to invest with selective companies.

JSE stated in 1969 and trading (buying and selling) occurs between Monday to Friday between 9:30-1:30.

Waiting

While sitting at the JSE we waited for 30 mins before we were attended to.

Now although I am interested in knowing the operations of this establishment, I do not know if I appreciate that no one approached us until a representative of the class went to find out the status of the presentation.

When plans have been put in place I believe that the organization needs to make appropriate arrangements so visitors do not have a prolonged stay.

Be Inspired

“Innovation does not happen on a spreadsheet, slide show, or product line. Innovation occurs in the interaction between people. Innovation is a human process.”
Marshall Goldsmith in Everything Connects

One mouth

You have one mouth, two ears and two eyes….keep quiet and listen and observe more….it’s a humbling experience.

Producing

In the last couple weeks, I’ve been tested with assignments to take up positions of responsibility.

Though I do not have a problem with that it can be a challenge.

Group work and running a business is very similar. I say this because like a business, everything and everyone is dependent on the other.
Let’s use Media as an example: as Managing Director of a media company, some of my services include graphic design and photography. I offer this service to a client of mine and we sign a contract, negotiate payment…all those lovely important things.

But then as managing director, I don’t arrange with my staff where they should be going to do the photography, the date of event and what they should be designing!
There may be external problems associated with this but also, the information was not executed effectively giving my company the benefit but the communication was not clear and so the client and the company loses.

In group work it is the SAME EXACT THING (using the phrase for emphasis). It the head does not say what’s needed how the hand must know to write?
Everybody has a purpose and as bosses, managing directors or ceo’s we need to realise that we are to off load some of the responsibility to those we HIRED TO HELP!!!!
