Self- mastery and Character



SELF-MASTERY AND CHARACTER:

          This week I will write important insights I had about self-mastery and character. In business scenario there are many corruptive ideas, and without character and self-mastery, the businesses companies won´t last too much.

          Let´s start with a quote from N. Eldon Tanner “If you wish to achieve financial success, if you wish to be happy, if you wish to be healthy, if you would be morally clean, if you wish to find religious peace of mind, there is only one sure way, and that is the straight and narrow path—the way of honor, the way of industry, of moderation, simplicity, and virtue.”

          To achieve the good things in life we have to be different, there is no other way. To be different in this world (business world) we will need to live a simple and virtuous life. Nowadays where wrong looks like right and right seems to be wrong, we first need to have character to do what is right and character is determined by the extent to which we can master ourselves toward good ends. Sometimes is easier to lie just a little to the governor and don´t pay taxes, or to lie to our clients just a little, and when we realize our business is broken, not because the skills of the businessman or his capacity to manage the company, but because his character.

          Da vince said: “You will never have a greater or lesser dominion than that over yourself.”  If we have the capacity to master ourselves, we will be able to help others and to become trustworthy leaders. The people will desire to make business with us, because they will trust us, after in our business and in our product.

          In my opinion the foundation for a trustworthy business, are the people who are managing it. People will always be more important than institutions.

Você Não Estava Preparado?

No Brasil nosso índice de mortalidade de empresas vem diminuindo, porém, em janeiro de 2019, o Boa Vista divulgou uma pesquisa apontando que em 2018, 96,5% das empresas do país que entraram em processo de falência eram Pequenas Empresas. O processo de falência, não significa necessariamente a morte da empresa. No entanto, aponta para o fato de a empresa possuir diversos problemas financeiros e estruturais. Contudo, em uma visão geral o número total de empresas que pediram falência em 2018, foi 13% menor do total de 2017. Já outro dado do IBGE aponta que o Brasil fechou mais de 316 mil empresas nos últimos 4 anos . Esse dado não esta contando o ano de 2020 onde devido à pandemia o número tem subido muito. Quando você decide empreender e fazer seus planos, você normalmente vê e imagina o lado bom das coisas, e tem que ser assim, com certeza! Mas analisando friamente fatos e dados, acredito ser muito importante colocar nos planos de todo o empreendedor um plano de saída do negócio, para ...

WEB BUSINESS KEYWORDS

This week I studied about google adwords and how to drive traffic to your web business. I liked the video that adwords has, is very simple, but very easy to understand, specially if you are learning as me. What called my attention, was the importance of being specific, but not too specific, and take care with broad words. Example is if you sell shoes and you use the word shoes, in you ad campaign, It is ok but maybe your customers go to your store but they will finish not buying in your site. Anyways this is a good way to start to make a buzz about your web site, but the question that is very important is, how to convert visitors in clients. How to convert visitors in clients? The suggestion is use specific words such as basketball shoes for example, or running shoes. This way customers that look for specific products, can find it easily in your store. Another important thing is to use negative words. example: let´s say that you don´t sell kids shoe, so you have to use kids shoes ...

You Are Selling The Wrong Product!!!!!!!!

This week I learn one important thing about sales. I was thinking what the salesperson like the most? I asked for the salesperson that work with me, in one of our English Schools, and the answer was unanimous: - WE LIKE MONEY!!! -"That's great!" I told them. -What do sell to receive money? I asked: And they start saying many different things such as: I sell dreams, future, English course,  possibilities, better jobs, among others important things.          I asked them: - What does your client want? They answered: - better jobs, travel, freedom, among other. Exact that! Usually we don´t sell products, even services, we sell feelings, emotion and experiences! When we understand that, we will sell much more, but this is just the basics!          Have you ever imagine that you want money, I as you boss, want profit or in other words money, and your customer also wants money or in other words PROFIT. Your client is always thinking...
