Business is the
frontier. It takes courage and guts to
enter the arena.
Business runs
everything. It supports governments and
funds the nonprofits.
I created this
book because business job information is scattered all over the place so my
idea was to provide a centralized clearinghouse for business job information.
Here are
some business job titles:
Actuary
Administration
Bank
Banks, Savings and Loans, and Credit Unions
City Manager
Claims Representative
Computer Programmer
Corporate Finance
Entrepreneur
Finance
Financial Planning
Financial Services
Insurance Agent and Broker
Insurance Underwriter
Investment Banking, giving business loans
Investment Consulting
Investment Manager
Manager
Market Analyst
Mergers and Acquisitions
Portfolio Management, helping people invest
their money
Public Finance, taking care of the money in
government offices

Stock Trading by yourself, for a Brokerage
Firm
Underwriting, helping companies go public
and sell stock
Working at the Securities Exchanges
Selling is the
old-fashioned, old school way people get rich or earn a living.
People have
started donut shops out trailers and made enough to expand to a full retail
outlet. There are at least 100,000
inventors in the U.S. trying to come up with the next big thing to sell a
million copies of to get rich.
If you have the
right product, you can sell multi-millions and make a good profit off each one.
What can you
sell that’s not a high-risk to get started?
I don’t know. It’s your
call. This book has enough ideas and
contact websites for anybody thinking about selling something. There are many ways to sell.
The greatest
source of knowledge is constant analysis of your business.
Visit your
local library. Get to know its
resources. In addition to books, many
libraries offer free workshops, business videos, tapes and most of the current
magazines. Ask the librarian for current
copies of zoning regulations.
Get familiar
with new books and resources in your field (computers, health care, crafts,
etc.) as well as in business skills (advertising techniques, financing,
etc.). Look for good business magazines.
A wide variety
of local and national organizations have sprung up to serve the informational,
lobbying and networking needs of business entrepreneurs.
Through
meetings, services, or newsletters, business trade organizations offer members
everything from camaraderie to knowledge to perks such as group rates on health
insurance.
I don't
particularly like how the media offers education on how to start and run a
business because they're all about hype.
They make it seem like it's really easy for anyone with an idea to make
it big but the truth is that some companies are lucky flukes that captured the
zeitgeist at the right time now all their imitators are failing because they're
the leaders and have the lion's share of the market but they're exceptions.

This is a business and managerial job
guide. I’ve written another book about
starting and running a business.
This book is a compilation of several
hundred books from the #650-659 section of the library, a lot of stuff from the
internet and my own ideas and intuition about how to win in business which is
to create a win-win situation for everybody.
I learned the hard way that anger,
badmouthing and antagonism just creates enemies. It solves nothing. If you’re in business, keep your mouth shut,
focus on the bottom line, money.
They say business isn’t personal. The truth is that everything is
personal. Make friends, not
enemies.
Good business always comes down to the
people you’re involved with. They can
either make you or break you. Bill Gates
wasn’t supposed to get the first software contract for IBM desktops. If you ever watch the documentary called The
Triumph of the Nerds, the creator of the operating software was an eccentric
nerd who didn’t seize the opportunity when IBM executives knocked at his door
looking for software. He had other
things to do so he blew them off. Bill
Gates bought his software from him and licensed it to the IBM guys. That’s how he became a billionaire. He was smart enough to see an opportunity and
treat those people right when they came looking for something, not blowing them
off.
There was a Canadian TV show called The
Liquidator. The guy Jeff Schwartz knows
how to treat people right. He makes
money but he’s not there for greed and overkill. People like him. He’s got a network of contacts all over
British Columbia. He runs a win-win
operation. He’s friendly about it. That’s how you make it in business, build
long-term friendships.
Watch those guys on those million-dollar
listing real estate shows. Everything is
about building friendships with people who can help you and you can help them.
People aren’t stupid. Most of them know a phony when they see
one. If you’re real, trying to do
something useful and good, people will warm up to you way faster than the
hard-sell guy who’ll sell his soul for money.
Money itself is not evil, just the love of
it to the point of absurdity.
You have to work hard, at least initially
in any business you get into. If it
catches on, you could make a lot of money later on but virtually everybody has
to pay their dues upfront. Pretty well
all self-made millionaires have made their fortunes through entrepreneurship,
selling things.
I don't particularly like how the media
offers education on how to start and run a business because they're all about
hype. They make it seem like it's really
easy for anyone with an idea to make it big but the truth is that some
companies are lucky flukes that captured the zeitgeist at the right time now
all their imitators are failing because they're the leaders and have the lion's
share of the market but they're exceptions.
There is an element of good luck and bad
luck in business. There's no rhyme nor
reason why some businesses fail despite lots of hard work and others start up
and instantly make millions. There's an
intangible element to running a business.
Just beware of it. You can't control
what happens in society on a grand scale that could affect your business.
Many of the big companies out there
originally started on a shoestring.
After you read through some of the complicated procedures to try to get
money to start your business, you might feel discouraged, however, I assure you
that most businesses that are currently successful today were at some point in
time shaky start-ups with no money other than what the naive owner barely
scraped together along with his or her guts, intelligence and tenacity.
Business is the modern frontier. It takes courage and guts to enter the
arena. An intelligent plan, a belief in
yourself and hard work will set you on the road to success.
The greatest source of knowledge is
constant analysis of your business.
Entrepreneurs use feedback on their performance in order to take
corrective action and improve. Learn
from experience and anywhere else you can.
In this book, there's plenty of information
that can help you get better somehow.
You could go to the Business Websites section, pick one website to look
over every night and you still won't run out after a year or so.
Visit your local library. Get to know its resources. In addition to books, many libraries offer
free workshops, business videos, tapes and most of the current magazines. Ask the librarian for current copies of
zoning regulations.
Get familiar with new books and resources
in your field (computers, health care, crafts, etc.) as well as in business
skills (advertising techniques, financing, etc.). Look for good business magazines.
A wide variety of local and national
organizations have sprung up to serve the informational, lobbying and
networking needs of business entrepreneurs.
Through meetings, services, or newsletters,
business trade organizations offer members everything from camaraderie to
knowledge to perks such as group rates on health insurance.
Many people around the world around start a
business every single day. For some, the
demand is there. They can get plenty of
customers because people really want and need that service or product. For others, they’re in a competitive market
to start out with.
Many people have romantic notions about
starting a restaurant or bar. I’ve
watched probably every episode of the TV show Bar Rescue with John Tapper
because I wanted to see people starting a bar with easy-breezy delusions only
to realize it’s hard, competitive and the customers don’t care. If you can’t serve them a good hamburger and
a cold beer in a relaxed environment at a good price they’re gone to the next
guy down the street and there is always competition with bars and restaurants.
The other sore spot is internet
selling. Forget it for most things. Amazon, ebay and the yahoo store have got
almost every niche covered by now.
I was a math teacher a long time ago. A guy in my grade 10 math class said I don’t
need this stuff. I’m gonna buy a garbage
truck and some garbage bins and offer a garbage removal service to people and
companies. He’s in business thirty years
later because it’s a dirty business that nobody wants to do that everybody
needs.
The brother of my best friend in college
did this business too in another city.
My friend told me he’s rich now while my friend is a speech therapist
going to work everyday. Maybe he loves
his work but he’s not in charge like a business owner who has a certain amount
of freedom which is one reason why people want to run their own businesses.
The other reasons are:
the opportunity to make way more money than
any job
financial security, you can get fired from
any job at any time
Having said all that, you have to be smart
when picking a business upfront because business failures and bankrupties are
very common. I see dead websites all the
time, people starting businesses that failed.
Why do you think all those big companies do
all that market research upfront? They
do surveys, study the statistics on that area (it’s easy on free government and
private statistics websites that break areas down into many categories) and
walk/ drive around the area to see what’s really going on.
It’s not as simple seeing a storefront
place for rent, renting it then starting a business. You have to look around, see if people want
that kind of business there. I lived in a
residential neighborhood where a guy started a bar but it didn’t work because
in our city, Halifax, NS Canada, all the bars are downtown in one area. I guess most of the patrons of bars, young
people, like that, to walk around and visit ten bars if they want. The idea of the neighborhood bar is gone in
our area. Older people sit home, watch
TV and go on the computer. They don’t go
out like the Brits do with their many pubs full of older people.
There is always a unique idea around that
could get marketed where you live. I saw
an Asian trade show on video. A friend
of mine went to Japan and Dubai. He said
they’re ten years ahead of us in the technology they use to live. Those products don’t exist around here.
The market is wide open for two things:
the basic things everybody needs like food,
clothes, transportation (uber), lodgings (b2b), plumbing, lights, etc.
the next new thing, either a gimmick or a
real, bonafide practical thing like the internet, cellphones, facebook,
Netflix, non-gas cars, etc.
There is risk in life.
You study something in school and hope
there’s a job at the end. I wrote my
education superbook warning about all those soft social science majors in
college.
There is risk in love. Look at the divorce rate.
There is risk in business. The best thing I can do to help any
prospective business owner is to say look before you leap. Don’t start something without investigating
it first.
How many people have created software or
apps only to find it already exists.
Somebody already created it.
