How Businesses Are Changing The World

in /by

The world is changing.

 

Starting a business has become, and the market is becoming so crowded with people who are desperate to make it to the top.

 

And there are some really powerful businesses at the top of the food chain, that can make a massive difference to the way that this world is heading. So, if you run a business yourself, or if you know someone who does, we’re going to show you how they are succeeding.

 

If you’ve had a financial setback, this article can help.

 

Putting Their Profits To Better Use

Business is about making profits.

 

Many businesses, however, give back to the community.

 

AssuranceAmerica is one company who is using their profits to tackle issues in their community, such as homeslessness. Homelessness is on the rise all around the world. The economy and certain life situations is forcing people to the streets, and the streets are no place for someone to be.

 

Use a portion of your profits to help your community.

 

Tackling Climate Change

 

Climate change is by far one of the most pressing issues that we’re facing at the moment.

 

Businesses are largely at fault for climate change, because everything they create we’re relying heavily on. But the things we’re relying heavily on, are polluting the air quicker than they ever have before.

 

So, to tackle climate change, businesses are aiming to become greener than they ever have before. From car manufacturers experimenting with hybrid technology, to electricity providers turning to wind farms. But for the most part, businesses are largely changing the world for the worse when it comes to climate change, and a lot more is going to have to be done if we want to reverse the effects that are happening right now!

Being Innovative

 

Businesses are now being forced to be more innovative, simply because the race to stay at the top is requiring them to be.

 

Innovation is the key- if you want to please customers- and the demand that we’re showing as customers seem to be growing. We want bigger and better, and that’s leading businesses to produce things we would only have been able to dream of a decade ago. From virtual reality headsets, to driverless cars, the world is changing quicker than it ever has due to the innovation of businesses!

 

The more that the population grows, and the more that the new generation is being raised on technology, the more pressure there is going to be to become bigger and better!

 

Raising Funds to Operate

“To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often” – Winston Churchill

To raise funds for your business, you may need to change.

 

In 2017, Trinidad and Tobago (a country of slightly less than 1.4 million people) just beat the US Men’s Soccer Team (325 million people) to eliminate the US from the next World Cup soccer tournament. Every few years, we Americans get all jacked up about a new coach, new team members- and we don’t seem to make much progress in Men’s soccer.

 

Sounds like someone needs to make some serious changes.

 

(The US Women’s Team, on the other hand, are the current world champions (as of 2017)- which is more proof that the US can figure out international soccer).

 

Change is hard

 

The reason that people don’t diet, don’t exercise, and don’t resolve bad personal relationships is that change is hard. As a result, we don’t really, truly change and grow unless we’re in real pain. When we’re at that point, the pain of change is less severe than that pain of not changing.

 

 

Discipline, time, and delayed gratification

 

Discipline and time

 

With discipline and time, I think most people can accumulate far more wealth than they think is possible. But growing wealth requires change- which is precisely why most people don’t make the effort. The changes I’m suggesting involve an old friend:

Delayed gratification

 

Some decisions are relatively small:

  • Dropping a subscription music service and just listening to the free version (Pandora, for example).
  • Making coffee at home two days a week, which means that you stop by Starbucksless often.
  • Buying afew more generic products when you go to the grocery store and Target. (I’m not going generic on salad dressing, however).

 

Since these are smaller decisions, the amount of gratification you’re delaying is small. You don’t mind listening the commercials on Pandora (I certainly don’t- I just turned down the sound), and the coffee at home isn’t bad.

Other decisions are much bigger. StudySoup wrote this great article on the average amount of money a college student saves by having a roommate. The average savings over four years is over $15,000. Now, having a roommate is a big sacrifice, because you lose a fair amount of privacy. If privacy is really important to you, it’s a true delay of gratification (until you graduate, get a job and can afford to live alone).

 

So, what do I get?

OK- so what do I get out of all this delayed gratification?

You can grow your investment assets- and use those assets to fund your business.

Good luck!
