Business asteroids

 

Several million years ago asteroid in a size larger than the moon hit the earth and wiped most of the species leaving the dust particles to afloat. Since then, asteroid is identified as mostly a negative thing. In fact, many historians believe that that was the turning point to the second life of the planet. Generally, we could see people referring asteroid as capable of destroying anything. This true, but it is not complete. The sentence only fulfills the moral meaning when we add “and bringing the new world of new opportunities”. We would be survived if it hadn’t happened amid the dinosaurs. We must have gone extinct long before. It is common to assign asteroid anything that is about to wipe out the old and bring the new.

   The term Business asteroid got popular in the last two decades. Reason: we barely saw anything before. Like an actual asteroid it is perceived as wrong at its entry. Many people said it would not be a problem for them. Some sided with ´this is shit and child play’. But when it hit the world, it did what it’s capable of. It wiped out the industry and rebuild it for a new version of sapiens. And people resisted it got wiped off with the belief.

The digital photography entrance was an asteroid.  It bushed the old film industry and those who resisted the change got left behind. Kodak with its billions of market capital faded because they resisted the change. They thought, with the billions they could bribe the industry and refrain from the change. They failed and nearly out of business. They competed against the asteroid and failed to surpass the effect. But those who started along with digital photography made the profit. They were lucky that the asteroid hit despite the unemployment it created. The digital world conceded employment. The only loss was for the companies like Kodak. How could a billion-dollar company with decades of industry experience didn’t see that coming? Actually, they did, but did the wrong math and refused to join the early adopters. This is visible in any area now. Since the rise of the digital arena, asteroids are hitting more often and disrupting the field. It became prime important to adapt to the change.

 The pace and size at which these asteroids strikes have a proportional impact. Technologies like AI and Blockchain are such disruptive digital business asteroids. It is capable of reinventing the whole world. Even though it is a digital associated invention, the scale at which it impact would proliferate many visionaries to think twice and act in accordance. Despite their parent software industry, these technologies are disrupting the hardware industries such as electric vehicles and manufacturing machines. Of course, it will make thousands unemployed, but it would create vast opportunities that might serve millions to find a new job on the flipside.

The only question that can bring a change might be “are we ready for the change?”. Without change, we cannot survive. And change is super-exponential.

Allocating time

In order to get something at our grasp we must do the work. In any case giving enough time and energy is necessary to make it possible. And sometimes not. Those are not rare case scenarios. It is well observed around. We must have experienced this. The evident factor is that, due to the most valuable time, we often switch things around, like hedging. Unlike hedging you cannot do both simultaneously. So the thing is we have to make blocks of time. These blocks will save lot of energy and of course brings the time for our deed.   During this process, it is necessary that we must allocate the time to those defined blocks. By allocating, we are actually veering the time from anything that we usually do to something purposeful . Because doing something that creates meaning requires effort and consistency. Motivation is not enough, it dies soon.   Here some people often confuses this with their moral things. Such as relationship and routine. Instead of keeping it well nourished, th...

Becoming rich and staying rich

Becoming rich and staying rich are two different things. Becoming rich involves a lot of effort and getting out of the comfort zone. Of course, you need to work your ass off. But staying rich requires intelligence. Because money put on depreciating assets can reduce the wealth into half within a short period. All the efforts that were put on creating this massive wealth goes in vain. Staying rich is equally important as becoming rich.

Looking at the financial ratios

 Financial ratios are great when it comes to investment. These ratios are useful in calculating several attributes of an investor. We know that most people with an investor's eye look for return than value. Because money is luring.  While investing, it is advised to take a look at the asset through the different financial spectrum. We can't track the everyday activities of the companies. Some companies make a lot of money with little expense and others make losses from it. Even the performance of management decides the performance of the company. We cannot analyze each of these. But with the help of financial ratios, we can arrive at a solid conclusion for an investment.  Here number defines a lot of things than the words of the management team. They can fake you with fake words, but the number says everything.

Adapting and wrong implementing

Adaptation of the new way of life just made the world better place to communicate. I’m not sure with these all amazing technology the world became a better place. Because better is a relative word. Of course the world got better at communication, transportation, lifestyle and availability of information. On the other side it did made some of it worse. The scenario that needs necessary attention is to the earth itself. Climate worsened, pollution peaked, diseases begun proliferating rapidly, manipulation, suicide attempts and many such things. Certainly technology never intended to bring evil to the world. But when it reached the wrong hands, technology became a personal tool to personal gain, totally neglecting the core principle of making the world a better place.    So it’s not wise to say that world became a better place in first place. Since it’s a relative phrase it would be more acceptable when said accurately. Technology did more deed than evil and it ethics perfectly ...

Waste less time

While doing a job, whether we love it or not, what is more important or what is more it makes meaningful is the result. How much results or output stands afterward is always the measuring tool. We do lots of hacks such as productivity booster to increase result rate. Out of all, most of the time, assigning time is quite powerful. Time creates a sense of urgency. We all know that we have only limited amount of time, yet we waste it. But when we assign time to a task, we most likely to finish the work than thrash it. The reason is simple : our brain function more vigorously when time is included.   We never estimate the time spent in entertainment or on drugs. Although it cost a lot of time when we wander in unwanted things, we tend to avoid time management here. But feel drastic feeling when we finds a few minute increase in productive work. Here the problem lies with the brain itself. It tricks us to believe that a minute spent productively can be equated with an hour in entertainm...

Resistance is ill backed

Resistance is about not doing the things that matters the most. The things that leaves a lot of output in the long-term. The reason why we procrastinate the important things is because it is the manifestation of resistance. We might get bewildered if we knew what this resistance had done to us and to those around us. The craziest part is we don’t we know if there exists resistance. Because resistance itself blocks its discovery. It or the brain part which controls it knows that the slightest awareness of resistance is danger. It’s a threat for the existence. It cannot survive with proper knowledge. Each time an endeavor starts to unfold resistance keeps it under the bed.  Gradually making it repellant it succeeds in strengthening the procrastination. The main cause people won’t defy the resistance is they don’t know it’s existence. It’s invisible and involuntary. We easily spot a liar or a traitor after couple of days of engaging with them. They possess a body, a character and more...

The crypto method and concern

With the promise of making finance and its concern more secure, cryptos are gaining popularity. Especially in the gaining popularity of bitcoin, large sum of money is pouring into it. The traditional means of carrying a paper currency due its certain limitation is less in demand. Besides the way to deal with commodities and goods internationally it tough to manage. The increasing inflation is another concern. Amid all of these limitations people still choose to go with paper currencies, even the governments for worst. Government has its own concern over losing power over peoples money transactions and the threat laying over the banking sectors. Those concerns are valid to reason upon because of the burst of large unemployment. But the flipside is so enticing. The increasing number of people talking about it is a great example. Within this decade about one in seven people in the world would migrate to cryptos. That is a huge market. So, there is nothing to wonder about billionaires pour...
