The Christan prayers ask the Lord to give "This day my daily bread". Not withstanding the fact that man does not lives by bread alone , one needs to think about tomorrows bread and jam today.
If you think i have lost the plot - no not yet!
I am thinkng about the ways i got into whole sale business and now moving at a gingerly phase to some thing bigger and bigger every week. I started the whole think reading a book at the Harrow Library about "Space clearing". I got to work quickly in clearing this stuff and the first thing i got rid off were the books that were gathering dust on the shelves. Then went some computer games and mini discs. After this i aquired some more books to sell from India . They were very poor quality and i think i had a very tollerent customers who gave me a grades atleast for the content of the books rather than the form.
If realised for the first time in my life that i can really sell something and make money! The first paypal credit brought so much happiness that no money can buy. Then i started to buy Mini disc and sell them for a profit. They seem to be doing well. I added more products and they are doing quite well.
This brings me to my subject of tomorrows bread today. In all my busy schedule of earning money for the day I am constantly on the look out for products that i am going to sell next week, next month and next year. Each product at a higher plane than the one before. A lot of efforts and research is needed to bet on the Winning horse and the same is true for products. I am sure of being rewarded in time if the research and analysis is good. What this research also brings is awareness of what is happening in the market place.
There is no better business school than what one can experience in life.
And so my advice to any budding entrepreneurs is to go out there and do it because there is plenty of opportunities around. One will be lucky if all products turn out to be a hit. Be humble in learning from the failed ones. Business is about turning weakness into strenghts and threats into opportunities.
Best of luck and think about tomorrows bread today.
