Types of Business Competition

  Types of Business Competition   In the past, the shop next door was a competition, but today the competition is in the form of a web store.   Ex- Annai supermarket vs Amazon   The competition was within the industry in the past, but today it comes from another sector.   Ex- Postal service vs Email   In the past, the competition was within the organised sector, and today it is from the unorganised sector.    Ex- Restaurant vs Home Kitchen   In the past, the competition was about winning the customer, but today it is also about retaining employees.   Ex- SMEs/ MSMEs losing their employees to rural BPOs.   An entrepreneur is not only facing challenges in retaining and winning new customers but also the challenge of attracting and retaining the workforce.   It's time to study the good practices for attracting and retaining the workforce. There should be a big drive where the entrepreneurs should come together and brainstorm to evolve new strate

The half glass.

  The half glass.   The half-glass theory has been here for a long time; it is used to help us understand the difference between optimism and pessimism. Let us know the logic behind half-glass in a bar.   Half glass means -30 ML inside, 30 ML outside. Half glass means the customer is waiting for some food. An unattended half glass means the customer has gone for a smoke. A half glass means more water is required for mixing. Half glass means the customer is waiting to top it with ice cubes. A half glass means a customer is waiting for his companion to finish it. A half glass in a bar is much more meaningful than a half glass of water. To understand life at its maximum, come with an empty mind to a bar; you will realise there are more lessons to learn from a half glass.   M.L. Narendra Kumar

Keep thinking, keep generating.

  Keep thinking, keep generating. If there is no farming and ingredients, there is no work in the kitchen, and there is no scope for chefs to prove their cookery skills. Similarly, if there is no thinking and content, there is nothing a search engine can search, and AI can generate. As trainers, focus on improving your thinking and generating content to stay ahead in this fast-growing world. M.L. Narendra Kumar  

Words

  Words   Let your words make the other person think & realise. Let your words inspire & motivate others. Let your words counsel & heal others. Let your words make the other person laugh & enjoy. Let your words give others hope to live. Words are not just alphabets, sentences, or paragraphs; they can either be a weapon that breeds a war or a tool that restores peace. Your choice of words determines the quality of your relationship with others. M.L. Narendra Kumar

Narendra Kumar
