True understanding of your business and your industry is a necessary step towards becoming successful. 1. Rahab: Joshua 2:1-22; 6:17-25. Rahab was a businesswoman who ran a lodging place and provided for her family members. Often misrepresented as a prostitute, there is no evidence of this in the Bible. She became known for her willingness to take great risks to negotiate with new people for the protection of herself and her family. Running a lodging facility meant being able to manage a staff of workers, keep clients happy and serve the needs of people from all backgrounds. It also meant being misunderstood by those who didn’t understand this nontraditional business role for women. The leadership qualities and skills of Rahab included being industrious and wise, having a business plan, management abilities and negotiation skills. Project management is therefore about deciding the various success and failure criteria of a project and then organizing and running the project as a single entity so that all the success criteria are met. This process involves setting up and managing a project team that may consist of a number of different individuals with different specializations. The project manager must weld this group of individuals into a team and then drive the team to perform successfully. The team itself, like the project, will only last a certain time. Once the project is completed the project team will probably be disbanded or be moved on to the next project. For an entrepreneur to pursue a growth strategy he must understand the ways in which a business can grow. If your business’s success depends mainly on marketing, you need a CMO. That might be you-but only if you have time to keep up with competitors, oversee the marketing implementation, and still do the rest of your job-and do it well. Otherwise, you need to look for the person with the sunny disposition, Blackberry in hand, keeping up on what’s hot and what’s not. 4. Medical & pharmaceutical education, along with R&D should be globally and governmentally subsidized to take the profiteering aspects out of healthcare as well. Second, many mobile oil change operators are not very good salesmen. They are usually very honest people and ones who are very passionate about what they do and you gotta love that but I have found that most owners of mobile oil changes are terrible at the sales end. They are usually the type who try to charge way less than the going market rate and think they can tell a few people about their “awesome service” and wait by the phone. That never works. You have to go out and get them. You have to do a copious amount of cold calling. You have to talk to a lot of fleet managers and sale yourself first and then your service. Most in the mobile oil change business do not fully understand this or never really apply themselves to this side of business. Its probably the most important part not just in the mobile oil change business but any business for that matter. I will go out on a limb and say that if you are a great salesmen you will do well running a mobile oil change business or franchise. If you know about cars but not sales then I recommend working for a new or used car dealer for 2-3 months and get the experience. It will be tough and gruesome but that is the quickest way to get good a pure hard core sales without a lot of the “fluff.” Then open your mobile oil change company.

Next small business idea is diet food shop. A lot of people are interested to reduce weight and ready to accept diet food. Thus starting a Diet Food store will surely turn out to a profitable affair. You need to do a lot of research before starting this business. Should prices come down over time? They should, but again, we’re talking about an inelastic market once it’s determined that you have to have a particular pill to survive. How much is your life worth? The drug companies won’t lower prices when you are so desperate for what they are selling. For example, there is a statistical analysis termed as multidimensional preference analysis (MDPREF) that employs the use of columns and rows for consumers and products respectively. With the help of this data analysis, the marketer can determine consumer preference patterns for different products. Essentials of the target market come out in the open along with the areas of potential market growth. Also various ideas can be deciphered through these patterns about product innovations. Operating a business is challenging enough without having to worry about suffering a significant financial loss due to unforeseen and unplanned circumstances. Small business insurance can protect your company from some of the more common losses experienced by business owners, such as property damage, business interruption, theft, liability, and employee injury. Saddam Hussein is a great example of an autocratic leader because he was the former dictator of Iraq until he was hanged in 2003 for crimes he had committed. Many think that Hussein was a symbol of autocracy and cruelty in Iraq” (CNN 2006). For most of his life he was very much involved in the Baath Party in Iraq, and through the party he rose through the ranks and became dictator of Iraq in 1979 when Bakr stepped down from the position. Hussein was responsible for many unnecessary deaths during his years as dictator, and was such an autocratic leader that his people did not have many rights and because of this, he was not well liked at all. His death marked a sort of freedom for Iraqis and was a historical event. If the government provides us ‘free’ healthcare, they pay for it by either taxing us, or by taking out debt(which is a direct tax anyway). Charlotte, it is so very, very hard. I dread the day Nolan’s hearing aids die on us. We’ll apply for the UCHF grant (we make under the $100,000 cap for a family of four) but there is certainly no guarantee that we will get any assistance. We don’t qualify for any of the other programs, which are for people on the poverty line (those programs are rather redundant, anyway, since people on the poverty line qualify for Medicaid and receive hearing aids for free). It is so very frustrating. Nolan was playing soccer yesterday and was very sweaty – and the coaches started spraying the players with water. I had a panic attack from the sidelines. Both aids cut out on us last night – we threw them in the Dry and Store and the right one is working, but the left one is still not working. I’m running it through another cycle and really hope that it comes back to life! We’re looking at another $6K within the next year, and it really hurts middle class families.

Another source of cost advantage is a technological innovation protected by trade secret or patents. If a business has a proprietary technology or process that competitors can’t match, it can become a cost leader very quickly. Then such guts started dictating to our brains how to process anything new – be it a new job, car, home, vacation site, which all quickly depreciated, since our very capacity for enjoyment got minimized on gut level. We are literally not allowing ourselves to enjoy more of life. How many of those jackpot winners succumbed to the shock of becoming rich and kept working, because their guts didn’t allow brains to create any ideas how to enjoy a new life style. That’s telling. It underscores just how dangerous running a health care company merely for profit can be. Majlinda, Thank you for your contribution. I agree that participative leadership is very much empowering. Unfortunately, I think most leaders don’t plan ahead, get wrapped up in the tyranny of urgent, and lack patience to work through the process to get others involved. Now, let’s dive into the business ideas. If someone dies from a traffic accident, especially if they die within 24 hours, it has very little to do with healthcare and more to do with the severity of the crash. I bet though, if you could find something on the subject, you would find higher survival rates for similar crashes in America. Fortunately, a consultant’s role can serve as a preventive and remedial action for management. In profit-making, Brown-Volkman, management consultant, argues that successful businesses stay positive. Consultants can use their influence for good. They can model high moral integrity. A consultant’s level of influence on customer values is a sliding scale on his or her expert power. If a consultant is highly respected, organizations may listen more about their ethical shortcomings. However, there’s a mental breakdown. Although the consultant’s influence is limited, he or she must always maintain their ethical standards. In bad situations, it is better over the long-term to just get out. Therefore, good consultants can make a difference by their moral conduct. Smart and trying to do the right thing! What, like giving the bankers massive amounts of money whilst throwing loads of people out of work, making it harder for people to keep a roof over their heads, increasing taxes to pay for said handout to bankers.

I picked infant mortality because along with average lifespan it is a widely accepted litmus lest for healthcare standards. In the context, particularly of poor nations, people often think that freedom counterproductive to both political stability and development. Thus, they recommend restrictions and authoritative rule. However, Sen takes the opposing view and cites the examples of Taiwan and Thailand and claims that the rapid transformation of East Asian economies resulted from the social opportunities” provided by governments in the form of schooling, basic health care, basic land reform, and micro-credit. As a result of development, these economies became more democratic. How awesome is that? Can you see yourself marketing a product online with your spare time (even if it is only 30 mins a day)? It doesn’t take much time to get a home based business up and rolling in this way. • It is relatively complex. Projects involve multidisciplinary teams and have defined aims and objectives.

Job’s successor, Tim Cook, is a good businessman but may not have the same visionary thinking as Steve Jobs. I like my Apple phone. Children’s hearing aids must be replaced at a faster rate than adult hearing aids. There are many programs to help assist with the high cost of these devices. All the evidence shows that public healthcare is more effective. Plumbing services generally will require on-site operations and the effective management of these operations as individual projects. Good project management is key to any service industry and the basic principles of project management is going to be essential.
