They must know WHY

When it comes to motivate people we use strategies after strategies. Offering them incentives and bonus. Medical reimbursement and insurance. Everything is financial and greatly luring. It's like exploiting the needs to the benifits of companies. Money is a great motivator untill the need become non financial. People also like to have status and high profile. They like being famous. Fame is an  inherent instinct from the very beginning of mankind. Organization and employees tend to bargain for each others need. They say you do more work, we give  more money. This might feel perfectly okay for both since they are satisfied with the offer. But neither of them get anything better. There could be more work done and more money exchange, but no big difference. It applies to corporations and employees in two different ways.
1. For employees, it won't solve any of their financial problems.
2. For the companies, the graph still be the same.
   Giving an interpretation might be good to understand what's really happening here.
Why isn't for employees
The money problem never fades away unless there is no desire for possession. This is a kind of buddhist way of thinking but it makes sense. It is also true that not all of us wants a buddhist life. Desire is ingrained in the primitive brain. Money can solve the instantaneous problems which eventually leads to even more bigger problem. Again salary rise is what we demand for. This is like a cyclic process, we arrive at the initial point after a couple of units. The life leaps to where the money lurks. This is an insane situation.
Definitely not for companies
  When companies tries to inspire the employees with money (which is a universal motivator) they kind of loose the integrity and reputation. Each time an incentive is created through money, it's gonna compell the workers to seek for more financial incentives to do extra. They won't care about the economic status of the company. They just need what they demand for. It even get worse when they ask for more paid vacations. They don't consider they are working to make something happen nor do they care about improvement. Gradually they lose the interest and starts to suspect their stand. " Why am I working here ?" won't be too far. The company might eventually get identified by a bunch of people working for money. Every company starts with a vision and starts to shut when they veer from it.
 
   This is observed in everywhere and consequences are clearly visible. That is why it is important to acknowledge workers on why they are working. It's not just about what they were doing there at any moment. This is about the same thing why the company stands for. It is clearly evident in people working at companies whose aim is absolutely larger and insane than their competitors. People won't quit from there. They know they are working on is larger and it exalts a sense of purpose. Working on purpose injects satisfaction.

Observation is the key

Too much focused on work or anything is not good at all. Not for both personal and professional. Yet we repeat the same pattern. Insanely focused in a work could bring better results. But these might lead to filter out the things we think is not at all important. But it turns out that is wrong. Often the things we wish could have were the things we merely ignored. Relationship is an example. Relationship with children and spouse often get cold when obsessed with way too much work. It is very much easy to eliminate the non essential and focus on what's important. But as the life progresses, most people realise that is not true. Giving time to nurture the relations are important as much as finishing the task. In the end all that matters is how well the life gets better. Just merely by observing the things that we thought as irrelevant may seems like a great choice to have. You might rethink and crafts the better one.

Surroundings and influence

  Most people who are brilliant enough let themselves to suffer only because oh their lack of courage. They were well equipped and learned, yet they find themselves stumbling upon when faced with an adversity. They weren’t really shy, they are afraid of embarrassment. What would happen if something happens always make them uncomfortable. It is not only the failure that makes them sweat, success too. They don’t know what to do when confronted with their peers, these people sweats a lot. The reason these people fell into these category isn’t their fault. Not technically, but yes they chose it. But by doing a simple analysis we can conclude that the environment that they were in contributed a better part. But these environment doesn’t create itself. Keeping in mind it could be again concluded as ancestral influence . That is much powerful. Even people with talent feels the resistance. What about this resistance is it keeps the action at bay and paves a great way to live the unlived li...

Beliefs of discount

 Seasons are mostly beneficial to those who are making whole sales. The sales are driven highly with anticipation of belief that people are ready to spend money than before. It is beneficial to both the customer and seller. The main reason is the volume. In normal days, people won’t go shopping vividly and manufactures are less active. We are taught to believe that during season sales companies sell products with more discount. Sometimes with buy one get one offer. No one wants to bet large amount of money during non-seasonal days. We wait for discount to hit thus to save money. And when the discount breaks, huge amount of masses place the order. This is way more than actual sale. Discounts are certain and hence the profit.   On the flipside, companies will profit like hell these days. They employ more workers during this time and install many outlets. They know they can swap money like never before. It is confusing to see who makes real profit. Both sides cannot maintain the...

Decluttering is self care

Removing the things that is of no use is equally important as taking care of the things that are important. Decluttering was a popular phenomenon that is observed among highly successful people. It doesn’t involve making each and every things as simple. It is to make the place that we require to spend most of the time less cluttered. For a thinker it is to master his area of expertise instead of wandering deeply in everything. Narrowing focus has  enormous benefits associated. Once the place, if it’s tangible or digital becomes decluttered, the possibility of spending time results in quality output. The input-output ratio or gap turns out to be inconceivable when the barrier shows its way up. Barriers certainly need not to be of tangible, it might be something invisible that could only be perceived. By eliminating the subtle (or quite big) things that appears to be the barrier impacts equal to adding an assistant equipment.This is making it easy to execute.   We can call it si...

4 types of investments

 A retail investor, he must know the different phases of investment that companies undergo. Not each and every, but almost all companies. The first ones are from the founders. They muster their hard-earned money or money in exchange for some obligation to build the company. Actually, this is the initial investment and the best part is they can take as much as share they want. If it is founded by a single, he owns every share at the initial stage. But as the company grows, like any other company, it requires money for its future growth. So what the founders and chiefs of the company do this time is that they go to an Angel. Angel investors are the second-term investors backed up by their own money. This looks closely to each and every corner of the business and after a lot of obscure examination, they either accept or neglect the offer. If they’re to invest, they will do so by pledging share in return. Since the company is still at its initial stage, the ‘angels’ will get a large n...

You can start a business

Not ever before that there existed this much opportunity to start a new business. If we look a couple of years back, we could see people aspiring to be an entrepreneur or simply to be the boss of their life, they must do it on their own. Or in other words, there is no one to mentor them. The drawback of those ages was the lack of entrepreneurs. People started business at that time or the rate at which the entrepreneur born was extremely small. So, people need to go farther to get mentorship or to start a business with a high probable win. The roles models are not there to inspire. That was a beginning stage and now it is booming. Especially with the introduction of technology, business communication (even better, customer acquisition) became a high probable winning game. It is now easy to get advice from. The stories and advice of successful entrepreneurs are only a few clicks away. Anyone who has the access to the internet can get information that, a couple of years back, is only av...

Saying NO is an art

Saying that you don’t like is often difficult. Especially when we need to say to our friends. One of thing that lurks behind this faking is the fear of misinterpretation. We say what we meant to say, but they take what they take. Most oftentimes we mean no offense, but the scenario makes it worse. We say most politely that “ I’m grateful for your offer, but I don’t do it “ through a single NO. But sometimes they take it as regarding. They hear something like “ I don’t want your shit “. We can read it from their face all the frustration and indignation ,even when displaying fake smiles. If that’s the case, then we conclude that NO is getting us and our relationship ripped. What we don’t realize is that the after effect of it, such as we blaming them for the entire thing. Here things get even worse and may lead to the demise of the relationship. Once you become comfortable with saying “no”, then it becomes easy to sort out the unimportant from important. Your priorities become explicit. ...
