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...

Democracy is better than war

Politics is the best sport on Earth. Democracy is not perfect; it's simply a substitute for war. For democracy to work, the loser of the contest must accept defeat. All sitting presidents of the United States who have lost elections while in power have accepted defeat except one, Trump. Mounting evidence against Trump coming from the January 6th Hearings seems to indicate that Trump planned a violent coup to stay in power even after knowing that he had lost the elections. If that is the case, Trump should be indicted and prosecuted to preserve the rule of law and secure the future of democracy. Slap is food for thought. Take more at TakeSlap.com Democracy vs war In the old days, political power was gained by waging war. Opposing groups would go to battle. Whoever won the war would get the political power. All major civilizations developed their status by becoming experts at war.  Whoever had the best armies and weapons would typically win. That is still the case to this date, and t...

Three main improvements that we can think of are: mRNA vaccines; remote work technology; and Trump out of the White House. A major opportunity going forward is dealing with inflation, which may end very soon with the upcoming recession. COVID19 accelerated the production of mRNA vaccines.  This revolutionary medical techn...
