Business oppurtunities


I went to a beach today to spend some time there. It was crowded since it is a long weekend. Got the ticket to enter the beach and as usual my car got stuck in the sand as I don’t drive a 4 wheel drive. I somehow managed to get some help and came out of it and parked my car. During my stay there i saw plenty of cars getting stuck in the same spot as not all of them drive a 4 wheel drive.
Here comes the life savers- $5 to get you out of the mess and this kids have a 4 wheel drive suv who helps the cars who get stuck.
Opportunity comes in different form and a person who uses it well could shine in business and succeed.

This story could continue in two way- First way this kids could go and spend the money which they made buying beer or the second way could be to form a company and do this as a part time during weekends when the beach gets packed with cars……Most of the time energetic kids take the first track as it is filled with fun. It is a opportunity but most of the time misused.

Small things matters in Business


It was a Sunday afternoon and I went to buy a suit from the place where they custom fit it after purchase. I also needed it urgently so went there all in a rush to find the store was closed.  When I was about to to leave I noticed a small business card stick to the door with a number in it. Assuming it is the number for the owner of the shop I decided to give a quick try to check the number in that small card to see it if they will open.  A guy picked the phone and fortunately he was the owner of the store so he told me he is on his way to the store, will be there in 5 Minutes. He told me he will call me as soon as he opens the store, as he said he called me after 5 Minutes and I too went, bought my full suit as I intended.

It is amazing how this small card with his number in it stick to the door made a deal for him on a Sunday when his business might be dull. I was telling this to my family on my drive back home and my first son who was sitting in the back seat said “Small things Matter” and it is totally true when it comes to business in which certain things we might assume is not big of a deal since it is too small might really one-day help in finishing a good deal.

How good is to run your business in the cloud?


http://www.apptivo.com

I always used to think having my own software apps  to run my business is better than using an online version of the same software. Price did not matter as i felt like I take control when i have my own software. I had them installed in my laptop and i felt like I am in charge and don’t have to worry of my information in the cloud. This all changed when my laptop got robbed just in front of my eyes and I stood there helpless and there went all my saved documents and my Accounting software which i had for almost 3 years.

The first thing I did is to have my accounting online software and also started using Apptivo for my business so I could store all my business related contacts, documents and they even have a free invoicing option which I could use to invoice my clients.
