New Challenge


          This week I received a nice challenge from my teacher from BYU Idaho, this challenge is called U$ 100,00 challenge project! Here are some instructions about this project:

“In preparation for starting your $100.00 Challenge Project, you will choose a Kiva borrower that you would like to support. This project is a unique opportunity for you to experience entrepreneurship. It will give you the opportunity to apply what you are learning in this class and to get a taste of what being a small-scale entrepreneur is like. Being a successful entrepreneur means being creative and resourceful. This project will require both creativity and resourcefulness. By donating your profits to Kiva, this project will also give you experience as a social entrepreneur.”

          Another important characteristic of this project is that you cannot start with more than U$ 20,00! Yes, twenty dollars!

          It could be a simple project as sell some candies or “just a lemonade table” but I have a big project that I am afraid to start, so I saw in this project (U$ 100,00 challenge project) a great opportunity to start in small scale, to test and evaluate if it will be profitable or not, if there will be interested people to make these procedures and so on.

          The project consists in sell anti-aging aesthetic services.  Let me tell you, how this idea started. My wife is pharmacist, and she took specialization in anti-aging cosmetology formulation. She realized that the anti-aging cosmetics are expensive and the cost of production is about 20%, and just using the anti-aging cosmetics is not enough to have great results. To improve the cosmetics results we need some treatments together, such as facial peeling, dermal-needling, among others. Our project consists in provide services, to maximize the effects of the cosmetics, that will be prescribed by her and that the client will buy in a pharmacy.

          In the future, she will have the cosmetics with her own brand and formulation, but so far we will provide just the services because we have just U$ 20,00 to expend! Next weeks I will describing here in this blog how the things are going, our progress, fails, profits and losses. I hope you enjoy! Any questions, suggestions or comments please let me know.



I´ll see you soon!

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...
