Life is an uphill battle both physically and mentally, many of us lose the battle before the fight is ever underway. It amazes me how Americans are not taught any school how to survive in the real world. Meaning that there are no job application classes in High School or conflict resolution or anything else needed to make an honest living in the job market.
They tell you to study Algebra and Trigonometry or write multiple pages of dribble on essays. Some offer business classes that study antiquated case studies that place businesses into a microscope and fail to address real world scenarios. Things like the allocation of stocks for an S or C corporation, even why and how to utilize effectively both types of stock allocations. Many business owners began only knowing the use of the fiduciary stocks and not the true power or voting stocks. Hostile takeovers begin the day that you sign your Articles of Corporation not when some wealthy company walks in and strips your baby out of your hands.
Making money is the goal of every business but it is the last course you usually will take. They want to teach you the history of a business sector that you have researched extensively for several years then tell you how operations work only to get into the real world and find out something different.
I remember taking my Real Estate and Insurance exams and finding out how the laws were derived and who set up the first legal documents. But the actual negotiation part of the jobs where you make the money is totally left out. How do you get the consumer to say yes I want to buy from or work with your company and I will pay top dollar.
Then they charge you half a quarter of a million dollars and you can’t make the money needed to pay off student loans. One thing for sure I thank God for the hood and all my old friends that taught me how to hustle and make money “do what it do.”
I would venture to say that 90% of all failing businesses have forgotten how to make money. Meaning that we are not printing less money, instead we have printed more yet many cannot find a way to be profitable. If you can’t see the money it is for certain that you cannot make it. So use your other senses like the rat and find the cheese that they have moved.
