BUILDING A SURVIVING BUSINESS
There's no doubt, that online marketing is the order of the day, people tends to increase their business activities day by day. Hence, starting a business or having something to sell is not just the goal, growing our businesses is the main goal.
To make our businesses a surviving and breathing one, we should try to make the people we are selling to; know the essence, usefulness and if possible the full information about what they are trying to purchase or the service we are rendering them. Lecturing our clients about what we offer them is one of the best way of keeping our businesses alive. Also, networking is a very essential part of a business world, letting more people know more about you, getting more clients, referrals and customers always improve the strength of our businesses. More importantly, business owners should always try to meet the satisfaction and needs of their clients, the rate of disappointments customers get from them should be reduced. With all these, we can always keep our business in the know and make it a surviving one.
MY BUSINESS, MY SOUL
Like a cub willing to learn from its mother, the lioness,
I sat still, still in deep thinking
Thinking of how to thrive and survive
Learning how to save my dying business from the living Death.
Thinking how to save my whole existence from experiencing hardship.
Like a star that twinkles bright in the sky,
I got a very brilliant idea.
Yes! All I needed is to face and mind my business,
To keep myself busy for myself and my business
I should learn to survive through the hardship.
Even if it is not my field of study,
I must learn all way round
With my money, busyness and time
Not to commit a crime
But to strive hard and keep my business alive.
