Fortune

Can you make a fortune with the "in-formation" business model? This is where you begin selling information until you can move into the formation of other goods (products and services) for sale.

Using the in-formation approach you begin producing information formed from free information found around. You do not plagiarize, but rather create your own spinoff or completely derivative work. You begin selling information until you can make some money, amass some capital, and move into a "formation" phase where you can produce other goods (products and services) for sale. 

From the information phase, you move into the formation phase if you want to grow and diversify. Otherwise, you can stay raking in profits selling information. After all, we are still in the information age and will stay there for a long while. 

If you decide to move into the formation phase, you begin to develop products and services for sale. In the end, being in business is all about sales. It's all the same thing, trade or commerce. In the end, the viability of your business is all about sales and profits that your trade or commerce can generate. To be profitable, remember V > P > C, value greater than price, and price greater than cost.

For sales, get into the mindset of interpreting sales as seeing alternatives, listening, and exchanging solutions ("SALES"). Buy problems; sell solutions. Buy into the idea that XYZ is a problem and offer ABC as a solution. If you solution satisfies market needs, you will have sales. If your solution does not work at first, keep trying and refining your offer. It's all trial and error before you can satisfy market needs. It's all about trading solutions in exchange of money. 

Problems and opportunities are endless and essentially unlimited. Different solutions have different opportunity costs that you have to consider based on the resources available to your company. Business is both a science and an art. Business requires a careful balancing act between risks and rewards. Calculate costs and the potential revenues from sales. Examine your value proposition and what customers get fro their money. Remember V > P > C.

Christian Abortions

Christian women should vote for Democrats to protect the sacred right to medically sound and compassionately humane abortions in the United States. Guaranteeing access to proper abortions under adequate medical care is not only a human right, but also a Christian obligation. Christian entrepreneurs should also tap into the untouched business opportunity of promoting Christian abortions.  Slap is food for thought. Take more at  TakeSlap.com   Christian faith stands for the belief in a heavenly father who loves his children on Earth. When that heavenly father sends one of his daughters a gift of life, daughters should feel loved and empowered to safely, kindly, and humanely return the gift to the father if desired. The heavenly father is not a monster or or sadistic deity.  The heavenly father will understand and appreciate the safe return of the unborn soul to heaven. The heavenly father will not want his daughter to suffer and will not want the soul to be in the wron...

Would you go nuclear if you were Putin?

                                                                 This post was updated on April 24, 2022 Will Putin go nuclear in Ukraine? No. Putin will not go nuclear. Going nuclear will get Putin killed or jailed. Putin, like every other animal on Earth, is controlled by the pain / pleasure algorithm of life. Putin will do whatever his brain perceives as being in his best pain/pleasure interest. Putin will try to save face to stay in power. Putin will claim victory and retreat out of Ukraine this summer.  TakeSlap offers spicy food for thought.

Elon Musk is a Trump wannabe

                                                            [This post was updated on April 25, 2022.] Is Musk a Trump wannabe?  You bet.  Unfortunately, he was born in South African and is not a natural born American.  Therefore, he cannot run for President of the United States. Money is addictive. Power is even more addictive than money. Money is addictive because your primate brain gets big dopamine payloads imagining the pleasures that money can buy for you. Power is more addictive than money because your brain gets an even higher dopamine payload imagining all the pleasures (including money) that power can get for you.   That is the case for everyone, including you. However, the attraction to money and power is even stronger in the brains of billionaires for two reasons: (i) they ...
