As business owners beckon the New Year and reflect on the past year, it is important to prepare and plan for the future. It is good to look back and see how your business has been performing for the last five years. By doing this you will be able to properly predict how this year is going to be and more so put in place mechanisms that will ensure your company survives any eventuality. Last year we witnessed many big organizations crumbling due to the economic crisis that took place. This best explains to business owners how unpredictable life can be. You can come up with the best business plan ever, work so hard to implement it and still due to unforeseen circumstances beyond your control everything flops. One thing is for sure, we are not certain of the future. This does not mean we should stop making new business plan for the New Year. I believe it is prudent to be optimistic since in business it is all about taking risks.

One of the biggest problems in our days of recession is the mistaken belief that the world has not enough for everyone, or in other words that there's a lack of recourses and money for everyone. this is one of the reasons that instead of putting their focus upon creation and cooperation many people focus on competition and failing each other's efforts to succeed. This is just another form of fear and worry, and that belief is a lie. the greatest coacher or mentor alive will tell you that, the ancient teachers tells us that and even many of the richest people alive will tell you the same. The truth is that there's more than enough for everyone. there's enough recourses, there's enough ideas for everybody. The universe is all about abundance and wants to share it with you, so you just have to find your way to receive it. One of these ways is to use the win-win principle. what's this principle simply tells us is that the world is a big stage for cooperation, and if you'll help me get my share you'll get your share as well. If for example I sell a product with a cost of 80$ and you bring me customers who buys it, you'll get your 25% commission on each sale, so that way...more
