Timing

Timing Picture

Timing is everything.

It matters in business, relationships, education and even life itself.

In business, investors, business owners, operators always wait for the right timing before executing their advertising, promotion campaigns in order to capture the highest potential viewership and attention when it comes to buying advertising spots in television, radio, newspapers, mobile marketing using apps.

Examples like: Cashing in on year end sales, especially when Christmas and New Year is round the corner, thus giving more reasons for customers to buy more. As they need to buy gifts, and new furniture, new renovation, repair works to give their homes a uplift for a new year with new look for fresher feeling.

In relationship, both genders will at times capitalize on the best moment to propose the other hand to live together as a couple.

As for education, tests and examinations are always place at the end of each term and closing academic semester respectively. Why can’t tests and exams come before studies? It’s obvious, as they need ample time for students to learn, practice and prepare themselves, getting ready for the examinations.

Getting rich, be successful also requires timing, wait for the perfect moment, but as we wait, get ready, and be prepared when it comes. else when you miss it, the spot will be taken by others who are more prepared than you. (This always happens in sports, businesses and even relationship.) Only people who grab onto the opportunity when presented clinch the top honors, and recognition.

Success must be continuous riding on the momentum and maximizing on the frame to go even higher. It’s a bit like how celebrities using some tricks or two to gain more publicity, so as to become popular and earn more money.

How to seize the moment. It is simple, but again, it is not easy. While you wait for the perfect moment, continue working on other projects, if you have completed one, as you monitor the already success project, than work on slightly bigger project riding on your previous success, as those are only temporary, so work on more projects, so when the time comes, the person/business who is more successful with higher profits (combined) compared with their competitors wins.

He who succeed, and thinks it is his/hers, will not win. Just think of the the rabbit and the tortoise story and you will understand.

Winners never take break, losers take lots of break.

So what if you want to take a small break, make sure you have an edge/advantage on your competitors, take a break, rest yourself, and get back up fast before your competitor is within your sights (radar), you will continue to take the lead. By that, it means always be aware of what competitors are doing, thus you can take a break as long as you continue to let them play be the chasing pack, while you lead the chase.

Never rush, plan your time properly and you will be one step closer to success, it is just round the corner.

Disdain

posted by ryan

Disdain is to look upon or treat with contempt, despise or scorn a feeling of contempt for anything regarded as unworthy.

It is not a pleasant state of mind to look down on something, somebody or ourselves. People who do embrace disdain, are the people who are complaining of no money, money not enough, get a job work hard and get paid; those kind of mentality are what makes the majority of the population.

On the other hand, the successful and wealthy people accept themselves, and have admiration for even more successful individuals wanting to be like them, thus the rich always hangs around with one another while the poor does the same also.

People, who look down on themselves and others, are not helping themselves and instead is dragging themselves gradually into poverty social circle, restricting themselves of each of our own rightful wealth and success.

Every single one of us are winners and champions, the moment we were given lives in the womb, we were already champions because we beat the other millions of sperm and thus life was formed.

Success is not determined by birth, family, social status. If you seek success, it will be yours eventually if you work hard and are committed to doing so.

We should not listen to non-constructive comments and hang around with people who are not helping each other to improve ourselves. We should hang around with people who are honest, straight-forward with feedbacks so we can learn and improve everyday and every second.

Average people of the majority is contented with living in a unrealistic world thus they only think of study hard, work hard and get paid, depriving themselves of the possibility of success.

Think and act like a champion, and one day, you will emerge as a champion in your own niche with passion as your fuel to success.

Strategy

posted by ryan

Businessmen all may employ some strategies that lead to the success which they are enjoying today. But when you look at real entrepreneurs, most of the successful entrepreneurs don’t really have any strategies to being with.

In fact some entrepreneurs will even tell you that it’s their passion in which they do thus they just do it. This is a natural progression in any life cycle, growing up and evolves into newer, better self. The more I read books, the more I realize how much I don’t know. The more I read about successful businesses, the more I realize their success today is fueled purely by their passion, determination and hard work.

When they understand what they are doing, identifying and doing something which nobody has even look nor find it possible, is a perfect invisible strategy that can’t be learned. Passion can’t be learned but it can be identified easily.

Strategies are only used if you are the new kid on the block; try to fight for a slice of the pie from the market. Not many succeeded this way, but those who succeeded, either pour huge amounts of capital branding, value and high standards of customer service in order to succeed.

So if you aren’t a guy that will plan nor use strategies, the next best possible ways to succeed is to ask yourself what your passion are. I’ve identified my own and I’m working towards my own passion currently with the right timing of helping my mentor.

Passion will be your ultimate fuel to succeed even if everyone Is against you. The more opposition you are up against, the sweeter your last laugh will be when you are standing on the top having opened a new trail and declared it as yours owning the rights to it.

There is a slogan by Energizer “Never say die” which shares the same meaning as “Never Quit” quitters never wins. Which is why the forerunners always have the first mover advantage because they will never accept “No” as answer until a solution has being created.

There are many people who tried to climb the ranks to being rich by employing strategies, but if you use underhand strategies, it will someday come back to you. The best strategy to succeed is as simple as not having any strategy so nobody can copy you nor understand what you’re trying to create until you have create both the product, services and training for people who sees the value and than competitors will start surfacing trying to grab a slice.

Before they can even grab one, the impact is already felt, the first person that started it has already build an empire of brand, reputation which isn’t simple to usurp to throne.

Quitters never win. Winners never quit. That to me and to all others is and will be best strategy fueled by passion.

Media

posted by ryan

Media is the means and platform whereby communications messages and ideas are being carried out and conversed to one another to reach the desired party from a person to the next person.

There are many variations of platforms which communications in different forms get the message passed to us. In keeping up with trends, internet and technology are tied hand in hand and these are the tools which it is widely used by different parties of individuals regardless of gender, wealth status and age group.

It comes from television, newspapers, radio, MP3, podcast, blogs, news release, accounting statements, conversations face to face, over a phone call, videos, short messaging service and body language, eye contact, artistic expression, music, culture, environment and many other platforms.

There’s only so much we can do to capture a specific audience but to increase market share to getting a bigger slice of the market, it’s all about mutual alliance, respect your competitors even if they have flaws, but the rules of the game to wealth and success are simple. Get to learn the unspoken rules required for success before you even attempt to declare claim your status and position at the top spot and gain recognition from the audience.

Success is only truly deserved when you earn it, when others and the majority if not the industry experts honors you with the title to be labeled as a successful individual.  Never ever attempt to break the cycle or you’ll be out of the game in no time without even knowing your own cause of death in the climb for success.

It’s all purely business, and observing the rules of the game. To be successful and rich, you need to learn to master the game, only when you’re the best of the best, than only can you have the ability to write your own rules and let others follow whatever rules you have set in the first place.

The winners of the respective media are making lots of money from advertisement ads at different pricing accordingly. Respective media owners will continue to do what’s best for them, but what’s best for them might not necessary be best for us. Bearing in mind that everyone has their own unique appeal that captures their target audience, so whatever is played, showed, read out, written in different forms are just part of propaganda. Take it with a pinch of salt, and don’t completely buy their idea wholesale. Put on our own respective thinking cap and think for ourselves.
