The foundation of business

Unlike the word “business”, Chinese called it “Sheng-Yi” （生意）which can be literally defined as the meaning of living or a living creativity. I always tell my friends that the foundation of business is built on commerce or better describe as buying-Selling. However, what makes buying and selling work is trust.

Let’s see what people said about trust nowadays:

have confidence or faith in; “We can trust in God”; “Rely on your friends”; “bank on your good education”; “I swear by my grandmother’s recipes”

something (as property) held by one party (the trustee) for the benefit of another (the beneficiary); “he is the beneficiary of a generous trust set up by his father”

reliance: certainty based on past experience; “he wrote the paper with considerable reliance on the work of other scientists”; “he put more trust in his own two legs than in the gun”

allow without fear

believe: be confident about something; “I believe that he will come back from the war”

the trait of believing in the honesty and reliability of others; “the experience destroyed his trust and personal dignity”

a consortium of independent organizations formed to limit competition by controlling the production and distribution of a product or service; “they set up the trust in the hope of gaining a monopoly”

hope: expect and wish; “I trust you will behave better from now on”; “I hope she understands that she cannot expect a raise”

faith: complete confidence in a person or plan etc; “he cherished the faith of a good woman”; “the doctor-patient relationship is based on trust”

extend credit to

confidence: a trustful relationship; “he took me into his confidence”; “he betrayed their trust”

We can treat trust as a link that bind a buyer and seller to make a deal. In every business,sales is the core activity. So, I believe the best why to gain experience to start a business is to involve in buying and selling. The best way to participate in this activity nowadays perhaps is to buy then sell some staffs in eBay. This is the easiest way to expose yourself with minimum real-time interaction. Also a best way to understood rather than understand how a business deal works. That is what I’m doing now.

However, it is far beyond to master the buying and selling skills, in this topic I’m focusing the art of selling. After gaining the very basic idea of selling from eBay, joining a MLM company is the quickest way to master the “face-to-face deal” skills. With the help of the MLM company courses and the guidance of your partners, you’ll soon know how to sell a rubbish with a great price.

But what comes along is that we should learn how this MLM things work because this is the place you will find the most largest business network that you can ever imagine of. You can either start building your business network relationship from here or adapt the most advance marketing skills today. Why? In MLM network, you partner with various expertise and workers from different areas and they all have their unique way to success in MLM business by adopting their experience from their own field.

Pretty far off and much to cover from what I talking. Talking is talking but starting from this small capital, risk less and time free things make you more confident in everything. I think this will be my good start before actually invest into real real business.
