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.

Few Words

          This week I had the opportunity to learn about ads and how to make an ad in Google AdWords. That made me think more about, how important is to choose the right words to attract people. I was thinking that in real life happens the same thing. If we choose the right words, we really can attract people to us and engage people in one purpose.           The challenge is to use just a few words to say everything you want, to engage and attract people to your purposes. That is a tough task. The big challenge in our days is not how to communicate, because we have many different ways to communicate what we want, the internet has an infinity of tools that help us to communicate to the world what we think, want and desire, but the real challenge is communication itself. Usually, we start speaking about one subject, we didn't finish talking about it and start another one, and this one is also not finished and we start another one, and so...

THE MOST IMPORTANT TOOL FOR PEOPLE AND ACHIEVE BETTER RESULTS

This week I had the opportunity to evaluate the results we are achieving in our quarterly report. I like to compare some indicators to understand if our business is growing or not. I compare the first quarter 2018 with the first quarter 2017 and the last quarter 2017. The indicators I compare are: 1. Number of new enrolaments 2. Number of renovations (retention of students) 3. Total number of students 4. Profit. After have this numbers I realized that, all the things were better than 2017 except the number of new enrolments. I got surprised because in the other two schools that we have this number was excellent. After analyzing it I made a lot of plans for the second quarter for that school which had never achieved the goal. This friday I had a meeting with them (the sale department). But I felt something different, I can say that was an inspiration. We started the meeting, we read the report from last week, checked out what was done, and what was not, and after, we had to sta...
