(Just Like You!)
So do you personally know any extremely savvy, hard working entrepreneurs of any kind, who have tried to make a killing on the side, by heavily investing in the constantly volatile stock market? Me either. 😀 Although, (right up front), let’s be crystal clear here.
Depending on whether you’re attempting to be a successful (short term) day trader.
Totally not recommended. Unless you have some personalized, one on one professional guidance, from a real world qualified expert. 😀
In which case, your real world education will not be cheap. But definitely worth every penny.
On the other hand, if you’re like most successful-blue chip- stock investors, then you’re definitely in it, for the long term, correct? Absolutely.
This being said, (ladies & gentlemen), believe it or not, there are several, extremely critical business and marketing lessons, (you and I), can and most definitely should learn,from the constant up and down movement of the stock market.
So What Possible Marketing Lessons And Or Valuable Business Lessons Can Savvy Entrepreneurs Possibly Learn From Investing In the Volatile Stock Market?
Keep in mine, not all extremely valuable lessons learned, have to be a direct result of doing something, right?
Sometimes, the extremely valuable lessons learned, can and will come, from not necessarily doing something. 😀
Case in point. Most novice, (read that as), individuals, who under no circumstances whatsoever!
Would invest, (risk!), any of their hard earned money, speculating on any type of stocks. Whether they’re considered, blue chip or not. Right? 😀 For sure.
This being the case, doesn’t have to mean, (ladies & gentlemen), there still isn’t plenty, of potentially profitable business lessons to be learned, by extremely savvy entrepreneurs.
Extremely Savvy Entrepreneurs Are Open To potentially Valuable Business Lessons No Matter Where The initial Education Happens To Come From!
For ex; ladies & gentlemen, are you aware, since the inception of the stock market. Basically, since it’s earliest inception, of around 1817.
This up and down roller coaster ride, has averaged at least a 12% return, over any given twenty year period. Say what?
Not to worry! This is most definitely, not a blog, designed to convince and or persuade you, to finally take the plunge! 😀
Just to point out, a few rather interesting and potentially profitable insights, which could very easily, help move your business and or service forward in a major way.
Your Small Business And Or Service Can Definitely Minimize Certain Inherent Risks!
Ladies & gentlemen, did or do you realize, for every measly one percent increase, in mutual fund brokerage fees of any kind.
It can basically cost your fund, as much as ten years worth of potential earnings! Say what? Yep.
And here’s another interesting financial tid bit, as it relates to business.
Let’s say your stock and or 401K mutual fund, averages just 8% per year. Entrepreneur, based solely on the “Rule of 72.”
How long, would it take your initial lump sum investment of (say) $10,000 dollars, to double in value?
Based on the “Rule of 72” formula, you divide the interest rate, you’re currently receiving on any particular investment.
The Right Type Of Lead Generation Strategies And Or Tactics Can Definitely Compensate For A Lack Of High Yielding Investment Vehicles!
And provided it stays constant, (like the Interest return) you would receive on corporate or Government bonds or notes of some kind.
A certificate of deposit (CD), and or the interest rate on a privately held mortgage note and or trust deed etc.
It would take just nine short years, for your initial, one time lump sum upfront investment of $10,000 dollars, to double to $20,000 dollars.
Before taking into consideration, any type of tax obligations. If there are any. 😀 Case in point, (let’s) say you were a complete stock market investing novice.
And you simply want no parts of Wall Street! Like tens of millions, of other extremely hard working individuals. 😀
And you want to play it safe, so you can sleep good at night. 😀 And you sacrifice and save up $10,000 dollars in cash.
(Big congrats! Because by saving that amount in spendable cash, you’re officially ahead, of 99% of your extremely hard working peers!)
Your Understanding Of Increasing Your Small Business And Or Services Value Helps Tip The Scales Of Long Term Success Heavily In Your Favor!
And place it in a locally FDIC insured bank. And the bank’s CD, pays you a whopping one percent on your money, guaranteed! 😀
Entrepreneur, based off your newly acquired knowledge, of how to correctly apply the “Rule of 72.”
It’s readily obvious, a measly one percent return, on your $10,000 (or X) dollar initial lump sum investment, will take a staggering 72 years minimum, in order for your money to double one time! Ouch!
And chances are pretty darn good, unless you’re awfully young when you start, you and I, will probably not be around, for another 72 years!Correct? 😀 Agreed!
So a measly one percent total return, (even before) you attempt to consider the overall affects, of good ole taxes and any inflationary concerns, means, you better probably re-think this. Correct?
Even Seemingly Minuscule Returns Can Make A Huge Difference To The Bottom Line Of Your Business And Or Service!
Case in point; let’s suppose you currently run, a fairly successful, combination Mom & pop auto repair shop, convenience store.
But you also sell gasoline. And you average a spread of just ten cents per gallon, on all the different gas you currently sell.
Which definitely means in reality. Even though a ton of local customers, pass through your gas pumps, and purchase odds and ends, at your convenience store.
The ten cents per gallon spread, helps you pay your two full time clerks, and keep the lights on.
Clearly, your business model, is based on the long term profit generating potential of the back end of your sales funnel. Correct?
Savvy Entrepreneurs Routinely Create Some Of Their Very Best long Term Money Making Opportunities!
Which definitely means without a doubt, your real long term profits, comes from the brake jobs, muffler repair and installs, the tuneups and transmission jobs you do etc.
So you decide, (strictly) as a lead generation strategy. To drop your ten cents a gallon spread, to just three cents a gallon.Huh?
And when the customers come into pay and or buy anything.
Your sales clerks, are trained, to slip an extremely time sensitive, market tested, two sided index card in their bags. And or hand it to the customers out right.
And it makes them aware, they can get any of the aforementioned services performed, and save X% off.
Small Business And Or Services Really Can Mean Awfully Big Profits! (Don’t You Agree?)
And lets say, your convenience store and gas pumps, are open seven days a week. But your repair shop is only open six days a week. M-Saturday.
And since you currently average, about a 125 customers (of some kind) per day. Over the 50 weeks your auto repair shop is open per year.
Because you go on some sort of semi vacation,at least two weeks out of every year. This means, a grand total of 37,500 locals pass through per year. (125 per day x 6 days x 50 weeks per year = 37,500.)
And lets just say a measly one percent of them, (375) car and or truck/SUV owners, decide to have some high end repair work of some kind done. (37,500 x 01. % = 375.)
Who Thought Your Really Simple Entrepreneurial Ideas Could Lead To Such A Windfall Profit!
And the average spend is $375 dollars. Entrepreneur, your Mom & pop repair shop, just grossed, an additional $140,625 dollars.
So just imagine, if the actual number tuns out to be 3.25%!Or even higher! 😀
Are you finally starting to appreciate, what investing in the stock market, can definitely teach, extremely savvy entrepreneurs, such as yourself! Say yes! 😀 Great!
