I was sitting and thinking about life in general. I turned on the light on my ceiling and the bulb blew out. I changed the light bulb and that made me think. What would it be thinking if it could talk?

Switched.

So I wrote a poem.

Here I am just hanging around. Looking at my family from the ceiling down.

I’ve changed a lot so I’m really not one conspire, the way that I think I know if I am insane or incorrectly wired.

I bring in the light so I can give them sight. Yeah you’re right I chase away the dark.

You see I’m not appreciated as much as I should be but we will see when my light it out and they can’t see.

I change and change but they still treat me the sameway.

Like life…I’m taken out, put in, bought and thrown away.

By Victor Isaacs

This poem was very thought provoking to me to the point of gaining revelation about how nowadays we take life and the smallest things for granted. We need not to overlook anything and pay attention to detail and we will all progress positively.

FOCUS

In life as we progress in maturity we sometimes have visions and dreams that we start to believe in at an early age. As we get older we lose sight of those ideals and steadily gaining an increasing dose of reality. All in all we still have in the back of our minds those very dreams to do what we set out to do. Through test, trials and tribulations of life and circumstances we have encountered obstacles and distractions along the way that deterred us from our main goal of success. They become like ghosts that inhabit the deepest and furthest portion of our minds. We sometimes forget about them but sometimes they remind us of their existence. They take us back to the beginning where we first created the very aspect of aspiration. They let us know that they are still possible reachable and obtainable. It is never to late.

Focus is a sense not only in the physical nature but also it’s a mentality. We have to make a choice on what we want to give our attention toward. Something with relevance and that will enhance us totally. We often think that our focus has to do with something tangible like dealing our eyes. Not so, EVERYTHING we think, say and do starts with a thought. We take that very thought and we envision it coming into fruition. Once we see that possibility we need not to lose sight of it no matter how far we may stray. It has already been destined to come to pass we just not need to lose focus.

Our minds are more powerful than we think. All we have to do is refresh our mindset and focus on our passion and let our passion feed our ambition that will drive us to the destination of our success.

Industry Research

Factors, qualities and characteristics that set you apart from your competitors

Competition everywhere. The aspect that most businesses people fail to realize or forget is that ‘first impressions are lasting impressions’. No matter how long a business has been in operation. The main thing that thrives and continues to progress a company is its CUSTOMERS or CLIENTELE. A long as you keep them consistently satisfied they are always be loyal. What keeps the customer base and or clientele? It is Quality, The Quality of the Product, Service and Process.

The quality of the product and/or service needs to be equivalent to or nicer than the greatest competitor. There needs to be made a list of the top three or four qualities your customer looks for in your type of product or service and make it a must that you are delivering exactly that.

Communication and the way a person converses will depend on how the very ideal of business is conducted. From the tone and very format of verbiage has to be done in a professional fashion. Superior Customer Service is KEY.

What I learned is that Quality progresses Quantity. I can use this information to make insure that the product-client relationship remains strong and consistent.

Licensing, legal and professional aspects of your profession

Identity nowadays is stolen quite frequently. With technology ever changing and new developments that arise, anything can be duplicated.

There are a plethora of types of licensing. Mass Licensing of Software, Trademark and Brand licensing, Artwork and Character licensing, etc. It really depends on what exactly is to be protected legally.

Why is it good to license? Licensing is very important not just because it is legal protection but it is also a great indication in the realm of professionalism. It is indeed a criterion that is very much acknowledged in every facet of business, from the government to the public. It is a resounding assurance of commitment, skill and quality.

Ways to increase sales and profitability

Everyone wants to be successful. Everyone is not a stranger to wanting money. People want to make a mark and be ‘Big’. Having and receiving millions in revenue will not keep you from bankruptcy. Positive cash flow and profitability are the two key essentials to having longevity in business.

Cut out unprofitable products and services: Nowadays it is so simple to find businesses that sell a product or service that do not gain any revenue. Sometimes with those situations, the things we love to do are best left as side hobbies.

Target new customers from within groups: Because “time is money” and time spent in actually investing in serving the customers in turn produces profit. Where the opposite in exploiting customers will increase the company’s expenses.

Outsmart your deadbeat customers: In business there are two types of customers that will not be a good idea to serve. The slow payer and the no payer for the simple fact that the more you try to chase and you have to wait to collect a payment the more money and time you will lose in trying to acquire currency. Require a down payment before purchasing materials or beginning a service. Cut the risk of loss prevention by not consenting from unconfirmed customers.

Be selective about what you do, who you do business with and in what timeframe you get compensated.

Social Media issues, factors and advice

This is always being said now more than ever, that Social media has been steadily improving, enhancing and transforming marketing. Set business goals for your social media: get a clear idea of how it will more than support your business plan. Create a social media strategy: A strategy assists the execution of social media the greatest way to achieve your goals by arranging selectively.

DREAM

As a child growing up we had a wonderful imagination. We still do. But when we were younger it seemed to be more vivid. Unlimited.

For hours we used to think about what it would be like if we were this person or at this place. To see all of our dreams come true in any and every way possible. Just getting lost in our thoughts and

We were in control of our life in our mind. At such a young age our make believe resume was flawless. We were Ninjas, Military Soldiers, Secret Agents, Warriors, Kings and Queens, Superheroes the list goes on and on. Anything our mind thought. We acted upon, not caring about tomorrow or where our imagination would lead us. We just followed. No matter how long the time lasted. At that very instant. WE OWNED THAT MOMENT. It became our temporary but enjoyable reality. 

Nowadays given the fact that our adult reality has set in our imagination seems dismal, unreachable. Limited. Bound by the very things we vowed would never hold us back which is the certainty of actually having to grow up in the harsh reality of adulthood. Having a career to reach the goal of being successful.

Although through the journey of finding our professional niche our imagination has suffered because of the very feats of personal gratification due to materialism and borrower’s obligation. We lost the sight of our dreams. We traded them for nightmares. We used to have fun and enjoy our life as children. Now it is just the feeling of being ensconced in daily life. If our young selves saw us today what would they say? Would they call us old? Would they think of us as the villain or enemy that they had to defeat to be the hero, so they can be Victorious?

They would tell us and remind us of our vision. They will have us meditate and thinking positively. Bringing us back to a place of felicity and boundless possibilities.

They would be our teachers to make us realize that we don’t have to let go of our hopes and dreams to be successful. THOSE very ideals can evidently BE our success. Making what we have always wanted to do an inevitable reality.

SO. What are YOU dreaming about?
