The right way in doing business (Narrow Gate)

Like anyone who is facing any kind of decision, business owners and entrepreneurs need to choose the right business decisions. There are many ways of doing business and attaining its successes, but generally, these ways are only categorized into two– the right and the wrong ways. Now, you may ask how to do business in the right way? How that road looks like? Are you heading the right path to real business success? These questions are very important to be answered whether you’re just in the beginning, in the middle, or in the end of an entrepreneurial journey. If you have walked the wrong way and have failed one business voyage, don’t worry, you can start a new expedition and assure this time that you can arrive at the right place.

In choosing the right ways in life, most people take the easy ways. They prefer to enter in a wide gate were most people come in.  They favor the way which is easier, faster and offers lesser sacrifices. More humans are getting into the large gateway, probably because of the following:

1. No sacrifices

2. No tears and pain

3. No sweat and hardships

4. No waiting

5. No need to follow strict laws and rules

6. No need to think of other people

7. No heavy commitments, obligations and responsibilities

8. Instant money and other material rewards

9. Closer to fame

10. Farther from early humiliation

Are you one of the many people who have entered into the large gate and now walking in a wide smooth road to life? As an entrepreneur, do you think you are heading the right path? Now, read the following verse from the Bible.

“Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it.” Matthew 7:13

Now, do you still want to enter in a wide gate? Few great people entered in the narrow gate because it is the gate to life and the road to fulfillment. Sacrifices, which most people avoid, actually are the things that give us genuine and long-term rewards (think of sacrificing your gigantic profit for the wellness of your consumers). Tears and pain make us more emotionally and spiritually strong (think of defending and protecting an honest business). Laws, rules and policies put us in harmony and in the right positions (imagine a peaceful and a liability free company). Love, caring and unselfishness bring us more friendly customers, employees, co-workers and other people (reflect on customer care and emotional investments). Finally, patience and hardships help us achieve true success in life (believe in a great business that is built to last).

The right entrance to the business world is the narrow gate. And the correct way to entrepreneurial success is the tough road. Online entrepreneurship, for example, is known as an easy quick way of earning money. But actually, online entrepreneurs also need to pass through the difficult way of life to achieve long-term success. The Internet is a real time world of information. That’s why building a great reputation for you and your business requires constant patience and hard working. Most online business owners failed because they jump into instant money and fame. They forget to prioritize the values and qualities of being a great business person. The common infopreneurs also prefer to deceive people to earn instantly because they don’t have the patience to wait for the right time to earn. They also break internet laws and code of ethics just to win the competition. They indeed earn initially, but after a while, they failed and they lose their money, names and dignities.

Conclusion:

Enter into the narrow gate and walk into the tough road. Why? This is the way to God’s glory. Many people entered the wide gate and walked into the easy road, but have failed. On the other hand, there are only few people who became extraordinary by passing through the hard way and have attained true success. Is this not the reason why many businesses have failed and only few have succeeded?

The faithful and powerful businessman

When Julius Caesar built the Roman Empire, he needed a powerful political army to successfully build that. When Bill Gates raised his multi-billion dollar company, he needed powerful software products to achieve it. Both Caesar and Gates needed something that is powerful to attain their great goals. But aside from power, they also possessed this thing to succeed – faith. Julius Caesar had putted his faith on his political tactics and strategies to win every military and political battle. On the other hand, Bill Gates left Harvard in his faith to find his software company.  As we can see, power follows faith. Faith precedes power. For aspiring businessmen and entrepreneurs, we need power to become triumphant in business. And to have that pure power, we need to purify our faith. Read more

Cheap yet cool and effective product marketing

There was this ad that caught my attention when I went to a comfort room the other day. Yes it was in the C.R., which an advertisement of a service offered by a certain Company caused me to write this short article. The idea was to make nice and durable stickers with messages like “please flush after use”. Of course I have not seen the women’s comfort room, but in the men’s room, people will see these stickers as much time as they need to do their personal necessities inside the room. In these stickers, below the message, the company name, contact numbers and the catching description of the advertiser’s products are also printed. These stickers were given to the management of the building for free and placed in the building’s comfort rooms. The reminder message to the people was printed as if it was a reminder from the management of the building and the maker of the stickers. Read more
