Have you ever tried weight lifting? How about some push ups r for exercise?. You sometimes feel you can't go any longer and that you should halt at that point. 'One more, one more' and before you know it, you have attained new records for yourself. This is applied to many aspects of life. A new work week is upon us, another day up for the taking. Actually I was planning of starting a very slow week until energy just came in all of a sudden and I resumed office earlier than expected.
There is one slogan we have over here; MMM, of course it stands for many things but this one in particular means 'Making money Monday'. This is most attributed for workers who get their work done only on workdays. In my own case, it is entirely different, from Sunday to Sunday we are always up and running.
It is either you are busy online or offline, undergoing the tactics of casting bread upon many waters. So actually, I don't really get moved by such slogans. In short, I choose to mostly rest on a monday. There is a need to manage stress, I don't believe in overdressing myself out just to be rich, there is a realm called favor and this is where we work from.
This doesn't mean I stay lazy; no, it gives me the needed consciousness that it is possible for little effort or labor to yield big results. I keep on saying it, 'every problem a man has, connection can solve it'---Dani-EL'.

That was by the way, how is your week going? Hectic as usual, you have to start up from where you left over on Friday. That's why there is a need to plan for your retirement and plan it early. How did I get here? Oh! My over talking again, we were to center on 'it is not impossible'. Why did I pick this title? It all bounces back to the present changes that have affected how business should operate this year. If you read my yesterday's article; miss the news, pay the price, you will learn more.
Currently I am left to answer a factual question, can I? Or to make the question much more motivating, can't I?. The current electrical bill increment demands we spend 4x of what we did monthly as of last year. You know what this warrants after twelve months. It is scary I must say, I was not expecting this kind of rise and it is cutting deep into our monthly revenue. Staying in business in such an economy demands cutting many necessary cost but it seems I have to operate with 4x of that.
customers keep the business
This is one thing I have to realize, at first I thought the increase in electric bill was on my head (which on the surface ground it seems because I am the one managing business), yet looking broader this is the duty of the customers. All I have to do is play my cards smart enough to balance all odds.

Customers will want to know why they should pay extra bucks for services and this is where I will have to let them know. Every business was meant to satisfy a customer and if it meets such criteria, then paying for such service shouldn't be a problem.
I once told a friend of mine that mature customers don't leave a business premises because of price change but rather because they've not been properly informed. A customer wants to be sure he is not cheated and secondly that he is helping where he patronizes to ascertain the needed growth. How would you feel a business you've been patronizing for like five years is going bankrupt? Very disappointed, you will feel you joined the wrong train all this while. So if the increase service price from $1 to $1.15 just to stay in business, I am sure you will comply.
This is exactly what I have to do, fix in an extra service charge that is not observable just to balance these odds. They will understand that we have to stay in business to continue delivering our best. Despite a shaking economy, it is not impossible to see success as an entrepreneur.
Even at your early stages, there is room for growth. It is all about you mental drive. When you overcrowd yourself with impossibilities, you will soon go in for it. I have to shake off this early setback and look for solutions. We are not that big business yet and I must also say we are not small too.
To conclude,let me add, we are facinh a growth test. This is what I told my co-partner, we have to make sure our work inflow increases to stay ahead of the expenses curve. All hands must be on deck for this to surface. We were already planning of incorporating a new section into the business and as I am seeing, it was a very good plan considering how it will connect us to a new customer base. When once there is enough work that pays for expenses with a feasible profit, we are certain to forge ahead.

Communication is key. If people have been told there is a problem then they are more sympathetic with the costly solution.
As far as I am concerned now, a day is just a day. Every day is the same, after all it has the word day in it lol!
Have a terrific Tuesday my friend Dani!
Yes friend, communication remains the key. Thanks for the positive contribution friend. Enjoy your Tuesday
Yes sir !
