Am here to do business not only make a profit

When you run a business not with the aim to make a profit but with the sole aim to do business, is when you will have an enduring business.


When the aim is to do business, the profit margins drop to create a trough into which trading and end-client interests flow. It acts like a vaccum waiting to be filled. Slowly the trough begins to level out, getting filled with more and more business. Now comes the tough part, to hold the interest of the customer after the initial attraction. The business now needs to create a bond with the customer. A fool-proof way is to maintain the highest standards of quality and not letting the margins get out of hand. Time and again the depression needs to be created to pull in new customers to make up for some lost ones. One reaps margins only when he is able to hold on to the created customers.

It seems sort of a selfish tactic, to suck all the business towards you. It is healthy for the customer but it seems not so good for the market itself. Lower margins creates pressure on the supply chain to lower their profits too. This helps in conservation of resources, both artificial and natural, thus creating a lasting business and delays dooms day a little bit...

Peace, shanti and other such

Most problems are solved when you learn to be at peace with your situation. Times change, that is the only law of nature... what goes around the wheel of time comes back like outdated fashion. If its not your time today, be patient and your time will arrive.
To run ones life, one has to be at peace with people who do things for their own profit, others who work for your profit and still others who you can make a profit off. It is only this network of peace which will see you sail through on its crest. Time and space are the biggest conspirators. A man reaps profits when he has both time and space on his side.
The people who have risen to the greatest heights are the ones who have built a strong foundation on the dense soil of time well utilised. When peace prevails the mind expands in time or shall we say that time expands in the mind.
There was once a guy who could read an entire page of text in 8 secs flat. He had a photographic memory. But the only problem was he could never make sense of what he read. Since the mind was free from the process of understanding what he read as he read it, he could do this. On similar lines, one could also say that if one frees his mind from needless worries, he can concentrate his energies on things that matter.
Keep peace and the faith. May the energy to do things be with you.
