Talking about business

24.10.14

Ever since i've took business and strategy modules for my 3rd year, my brain is filled with Jack Ma's strategy,Apple vs Samsung strategy, Game theory,How Amazon works etc...And i've learnt many things from my lecturer! So not too bad. It's feel like i've stepped into a business world. I came across 2 post that might one day be useful:

How American Top Business Leader spend every minute of their day

These came from leaders such as Google, Adobe, Kelloggs,Twitter etc. They woke up as early as 6am to exercise (to improve mood and boost energy) before going work.

Time spent during work:
Email and texting -2hr 25mins
Strategy(for long term success) - 20 mins
Personal Development -30mins

They are spent every minute of their time meaningfully.
Though it doesn't apply to me yet cos i am not sure how do i apply this in a private(institutional) sector.
Or maybe this can be applicable to me so that i would not panic to rush my work.

Also moving forward, another article that is useful to read about:

Don’t be involved in politics
Once you are running a business, don’t ever think of being involved in politics.Partnership is much more impt to enhance in business growth for the long term.

Don’t make complaining and whining a habit
If you complain or whine once in a while, it is not a big deal.On the path to success, you will notice that the successful ones are not whiners, nor do they complain often.


The 4 main questions the young generation must ponder on
