I remember when I was in the 3rd or 4th grade. I was thinking, damn I’m really bad at math. I will never be good at business.
Fast forward today and I have a different mindset.
The reason why I have a different mindset is because I learned a bit about business.
Am I super rich? Hell no.
But I know that real money comes from the heart. You can steal a purse or rob a bank but a person who knows how to chase bags will never be broke despite many unjust individuals.
I never had any formal financial education and was unconfident in my business ideas.
After submerging myself in the world of social media and watching a ton of Gary Vee videos, I feel more confident that I am in the right trail towards a healthy business life.
The reason why I feel more confident in my business career is because I know that the world of business and commerce revolve around trust.
When a buyer makes a large buying decision they want to talk to someone who knows more about the product than themselves.
The buyer doesn’t understand and needs help. They of course don’t want to make a mistake and buy something that is not going to solve a need or a problem.
If this buyer doesn’t trust you they will never make a buying decision and if you manipulate the buyers decision that buyer will have buyers remorse ofter the purchase.
That’s why it’s so important to believe in what you are selling if you are selling a service that you do not believe or resonate with it’s going to be a hard job.
It will be hard because you don’t trust the product and probably can’t communicate the importance of the product.
Every skilled negotiator or salesperson knows they have to establish trust before they start selling. If the buyer doesn’t like you they will not trust you either.
The world of business revolves around different people with different characteristics. With different cultures and different ideas.
If you are always trying to get the best of someone in business you will not make progress simply because people do not like stingy people. In contrast if you do business with a person who leaves a well deserved tip you will want to provide this buyer with service again and again because that person is more generous.
Your grades doesn’t matter when it comes to business. what matters is that you are really providing value to a person and are of noble character.
If you want to be good in business focus on having a noble and trustworthy character..
