Lessons learned

This week I had the opportunity to interview a famous entrepreneur, his name...... Carlos Wizard Martins, we had the opportunity to serve a mission together he is in Forbes Brazil ranked with the most rich people in our country, Brazil.

I had the opportunity to serve a mission with him and after the opportunity to work with him.Today I would like to share somethings I learned from him, actually I learn many things from him during my mission and after during my professional life. Here are some teachings from him to me. Business are business and church is church; sometimes people thing they have the right to receive some advantage just because you and I, are from the same church, and this is wrong, for your business succeed you have to work with the bests and sometimes It doesn´t mean they are church members, Unfortunately.

In business not always the smarter wins but who arrives first. We have to be innovative and if you fell a market tendency, you have to start doing, making or produce it immediately.

Lead, follow or get out the way; The first time I heard that, it shocked me, but after time I learned that in an organization, when a decision is made you have to lead or follow or get out the way, you just have these three options. What position you want be?

The most important lesson is: Pay your tithes and be VERY generous in your offers.

These advises have helped me until now, I have a blessing to love what I do, I run my own business since 2003, for sure we face difficulties, but as we learned in the book The hero´s journey, we have to face our Dragon, if we don´t do it, we will die sooner than we wonder.

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...
