It is said that John Jacob Astor had the first US monopoly. 1. He stuck to a business he understood and grew the American Fur company into the leading fur company in the world. 2. When he saw an opportunity in China at a time when the West shunned business with then Chinese, he capitalized on this and made a lot of money. 3. One historical report says Astor invested in such extensive real estate holdings because he didn’t like high risk investments he didn’t know how to grow. The lesson here is to stick to your area of competence till you increase it. #biography #jahnjacobastor #bio #entrepreneur #billionaire

Only do not fear the people of the land, for they are our bread; their protection has departed from them, and the LORD is with us. Do not fear them.”” ‭‭Numbers‬ ‭14:7–9‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ Have you noticed what’s missing in Joshua and Caleb’s report? The giants!! They didn’t even acknowledge the opposition. They knew that with God, no enemy is a factor. The giants might as well have been ants. These are the kind of people you want in your camp. People who don’t consider market research and economic factors as greater than God’s ability. People who do not see themselves as less than any corporation or system. People for whom, the giants are not a factor.

When I find someone earning a disappointing income, I usually find that size of their knowledge account correlates with the balance in their bank account. The frequency and size of deposits being made to their knowledge base matches up nicely with the frequency and size of the deposits made to their bank account. Bluntly, the person who is too busy or too lazy and undisciplined or too cheap to systematically, strategically, continuously grow his depth of understanding about all the aspects of his business – by study, by association - will find it nearly impossible to grow his income. No, knowledge is not power, if not acted on productively. But lots of action on too little knowledge, too simplistic and superficial understanding, is just as useless. Tiring, too.--dan Kennedy Read more at #dankennedy #marketing #readbooks growingstartup.com

One of the 1st questions I ask a startup founder is "how many people are on your mailing list?" If the answer is none. My second question is "do you at least have some phone numbers or email addresses that you can mail an offer to in the next 48 hours?" If both answers are negative, I probably won't do business with the person. Every business needs to take down the contact details of its prospects. #startups #business #entrepreneur #marketing #sales #dankennedy

A business at the beginning needs someone who can make the product and someone who can sell it. It's important to partner or work with people who have both competence and vision. Those are the best teams. Illustration by @kiaski_artist Read the rest at #growingstartup.com #team #entrepreneur #startups #growingstartup #growthhacking #business

This book is the autobiography of Michael Bloomberg. He is the founder of Bloomberg LP According to Forbes magazine his net worth is 40.9 billion USD (2015) Purpose: I read this book to understand what it takes to build a technology and media company that is both private and profitable. Even after being told he was going to be fired, he still worked up to 12 hours a day until his final day. What I got from this was to keep doing what is right and not allow circumstances to ruffle you. Lesson: At the time he was fired, he had gotten a deep understanding and unique insight into two things that would help him start his own business. He had a deep knowledge of the securities, investing and of how technology could be used to make the financial world efficient. Many people work at places for years and do not learn enough to be exponentially more valuable and productive than before they got hired. This is a mistake. Years ago, when I was employed by someone else, I made sure I was a sponge and studied every piece of knowledge I found valuable. Within 6 months after leaving, I had a freelance business that paid me over 4 times what I was receiving as salary from my previous employer. #autobiography #growingstartup #bloomberg #billionaire #entrepreneur

How to spot business opportunities #htsbo Many will just see this as a statistic but an entrepreneurs mind sees and entire economy and ecosystem.

I tell entrepreneurs that a president isn't as powerful as people think he is. There are many influential people who have little power. Many businesspeople obsess over politicians when they don't have to. There are different kinds of power(ability) ie political, financial, social,military and spiritual. Find out what change you want to make and what kind of power/ability best suits your purpose. #power #ability #politics #growingstartup
