Steve Jobs Unconventional Business

Steve Jobs company is set to release the new I-phone  and I-pad have just been released. The frenzy is on again to get the latest from the Apple company, and the late Steve Jobs. I often take a look at Steve Jobs, and say he is the modern day Thomas Edison. Steve had a real different look and an unconventional business plan along wit business ideas that have brought the Apple technology to the world. What baffles me is how he didn’t follow his competitors like Microsoft.

Steve dared to be different and different he was by releasing some of the most innovative technology in the world. The new i-phones and i-pads have higher quality then HDTV which is really amazing.

The unconventional business mind is what we need in the American economy someone who is a risk taker. So, when you decided to build something, and give it to the world think about Steve Jobs and his unconventional business. Dare to be different when doing unconventional business.

Is Lip Stick Important To Women

Published by Admin on February 17th, 2012 - in Uncategorized

Why is lipstick is important to women ? Well, I’m a man so I can’t say that I can really answer this question, but I can give you my opinion. I have noticed that many women really take the art of putting on makeup serious and lip stick is a

your never alone ... rely on yourself.

Image via Wikipedia

key component of the art form. I used to watch my mother stand in the mirror and place the eye liner on, along wit some blush, and put the lipstick on to make herself look pretty. I think lip is the most important component in the make of a women’s self. Is it that lipstick is the icing on the cake that brings everything together ? I, myself  like to see women with shiny lips, and pretty lip gloss on their lips. It just makes me want to pucker up and give you a big fat kiss !  lol.. So my question is why do you feel lip stick is important to women ?

Lipstick does make women look more beautiful and sexier to me as I’m sure it does to a lot of men.

your comments are welcomed on this one ladies

The Pecking Order of Business

Published by Admin on January 9th, 2012 - in Uncategorized

What is the Pecking Order of Business ? The Pecking Order is the High Archery of the small companies who have to submit to the larger corporations who really control the way the economy moves. For Example, Bank America is one of the largest banking corporations in the U.S., Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac is one the largest mortgage companies in the U.S.and all big business have to due business with them which ends up falling down to the little guy who does business wit the small banks if you will.

The Dinosaur companies control the outcome of the small business who don’t have the muscle to bang against the larger corporation. The Pecking Order is what keeps the little man little and the big man big. You need to aligned yourself wit some of the larger  companies to go from a small mom and pop shop, to a mid size company who has the ability to compete.

Networking is the key to yours and my success !

Price Points Theory

Published by Admin on December 18th, 2011 - in Uncategorized

Many folks who sell items online and off line   have a theory about what sells and doesn’t sell. I have heard stories that

oh, da's leuk :)

Image by Marco Raaphorst via Flickr

the cheaper the price is, the less you will make, because folks who are looking for low prices aren’t about spending money. Price point theories are some what crazy when you are trying to sale products to the consumers.

World renown marketing guru Dan Kennedy says  raise your price on your products to attract a certain type of customer. For example, if you got a product that’s worth 197.00 dollars and you are only charging 25.00 folks will think that it’s not worth buying, because it appears to be to cheap. So, the higher the price the more value that the consumer feels that product has. Don’t look for the tire kickers when pricing products. Higher price items get bought more often than cheaper price items, so don’t be scared to raise the price on what you know that has value.

C.E.O takes a lot of hard work. I was watching a video of Master P the rap business mogul that made over 300 million dollars in the music business as a independent business man. Master P believed that working hard, and having owner ship is the keys to success.

A C.E.O is something in business that many folks a scared to be, which is being the boss. If you were a C.E.O of a company, how would you run the company, and who would you put in charge to run your day to day operations. You must study and learn how to run a company in order to be a boss. Many folks are C.E.O’s of their own companies, folks like Russell Simmons, Donald Trump, Steve Jobs, Puff Daddy, and a host of others control their own business affairs.

I think that you can still be who you want to be, but you do want to be mindful about what you say online. Also, when you take time to check your Facebook or Twitter account you risk being fired in regard to wasting time on the job as well. So don’t waste time on someone else clock.

Employers are now judging your character as a result of how you handle your Facebook page. You must be cautious about how you handle your Facebook, because you don’t want it to come back  and bite you in the ass.

Do You Really UnderStand The Troy Davis Case

Published by Admin on November 22nd, 2011 - in Uncategorized

Troy Davis was a man who proclaimed his innocence from the beginning. If I understand it correctly, Troy was accused of killing a police officer which is murder . Troy through out his time in prison always professed his innocence, but during that time was convicted and found to be guilty. DNA was not accessible during the time of his trail to enter into the court as evidence so that played a huge part on the decision making process by the jury. He was convicted on the juries judgement and the evidence presented at that time.

As time progressed, Troy sat on death row waiting for his termination date.  People begin to cry out all across the world for this mans freedom, but many people don’t understand why his case couldn’t be overturned. As celebrities got involved and attorney’s tried, and pleaded wit the court even though they know the real story, Troy’s execution date was upheld.  The supreme court is the only one who could of over turned his conviction. The Supreme Court is the highest court in the land, but they themselves had to follow through with the execution and why was that you ask !

I am not an attorney,  but this is just my opinion so here it is. When one commits a crime, or an alleged crime, that comes with a price, and all crimes are civil or criminal. Crimes whether it be a traffic violations, theft, murder, or

fraud etc.   have a commercial value. Troy was accused of committing murder, and murder carries a four million dollar charge so somebody has to pay for that offenseits either the person who is alleged of the crime, or the state picks up the tab for the charge through other means that we won’t discuss here. When Troy admitted to the crime, and then wanted to  recant his statement he had already decided to take the charge, and pay back the money for that commercial offense with was his life unfortunately.

People were so emotional about Troys case, but really don’t understand politricks and law that went with this case.  You need understanding in order to understand the Troy Davis case. I am not in favor of the man being executed, but I also know that everything is commercial, and these folks are not letting you off the hook for a commerical offense with out something of equal exchange in value.

 

I hope this sheds some light on the Troy Davis Case please leave comments would love to hear your opinion
