Growing a business...

I got a mail from a friend and it showed the interior of one of the Google European offices. I really don’t know how true this is but…I was flabbergasted!
It got me thinking about doing business again!
I just thought to myself my goodness…when/how will I ever be able to build a great organisation like this?
I know it is good to start small and think big (cliché!) but how does one get to this point? How does an individual start a business that will outlive him/her?
Any takers in the house?
P.S
I’ve been trying to upload the pictures that left me gobsmacked forever but I can’t seem to get a hang of it…either that or there’s a restriction on my computer(am at work!).

The only hints or advice I can offer you is start small. It can be overwhelming to think of how you will get to where some big company like google is but you can get there by setting small goals and working toward each, and building upon your previous work.

(Sorry, I don't use blogger so I can't help the the photo uploading issues.)

Well start small and dont spend all the proceeds on bling blings and champagne...stay away from the super models, employ the brains...dont do drugs...become miserly to yourself and others..put the profit back into the biz and you'll do just fine!!!

Or steal the money and start big...

Hmmm, "..........start small..." is there any such things???
Thot it should be learn the ropes (mastery of the technique, what's refered to as start small), then, leave yourself to inspiration. These you do without forgetting human relations.

Thanks all for your comments...will definitely put this in mind and not be intimidated by "huge" coys...knowing fully well that they started small as well.
I intend to think BIG!

Interesting question. Its good to have something big to look forward to, as it helps to drive you.

I'll also encourage that you be as professional as possible even in the littlest things concerning the business... keep the books properly (if you can't, try and learn how to, or at least write everything down in a clear way).

Follow me @Nolimit2life How many times have you told yourself at the beginning of the year that things just have to change? I am so guilty of this! But no more, if it needs to be fixed, then I'm going to do just that, fix it! Todays 3six5woman post is about someone who decided to make that move! I really hope you get inspired to not just accept the status-quo but give yourself a chance!  Yes You Can! Photo Credit:  http://www.deviantart.com/

Re: In The Name of All Things Men.

Was stuck on the train in the middle of no where for a while...national rail can like to get their acts together!What better time to write/type than then:) Here are the random thoughts that came to me based on Vera's radio show...but before then, enjoy this track... Don't blame the men for the lies,blame the women who will swallow any lie so long as it makes them look good...don't blame the women,blame the men who put them in that state. Personally I'm of the opinion that a strong onus is on the woman to decide not to be stupid...we are nuturing and very kind...a guy will take you on a ride if he knows he can get away with murder where he's concerned in your life. Sometimes we love the idea of being in love than love itself...it isn't about how you feel,if it was about feeling then I should have killed by now.Reminds me of the time my friend asked me "how can something that feels so good be so wrong"...the act is not wrong darling it is the timing tha...

Judging A Book By It's Cover

Sometimes we meet people and assess them based on their outward appearance...to our own detriment!!! Yes our own detriment because this act in it's self is absolutely unwise..."pun intended"!!! Yours truly is guilty of this from time to time...We sometimes have the tendency to want to box people into compartments we've created for them in our minds... So a guy who's trousers refuses to cooperate with the force of gravity(lol) is not cool and when a girl wears a scandalous outfit, that makes her a slut.... Gibberish I say!!! Absolute nonsense...it does not work that way...trust me, I should know... A recent global case is that of the beautiful singer Susan Boyle ...I watched the clip on You Tube and when she said she wanted to be as famous as a well known singer,everyone right down to the judges snickered at her and thought she was just another joker...when she opened her mouth to sing, she became a HIT at the cute age of 47!!!(Another blog topic for another day......
