> Redefine success in business | Bart Houlahan | TEDxYYC

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences.

He co-founded B Corporation, a growing movement of more than 1000 corporations in 80 industries and 30 countries creating a new sector of the economy with the ability to alleviate poverty, rebuild communities and restore the environment.

Bart Houlahan along with his partners, Jay Coen Gilbert and Andrew Kassoy, co-founded B Lab in 2006. B Lab is a nonprofit organization dedicated to serving entrepreneurs using business as a force for good.

Prior to B Lab, Bart was President of AND 1, a 0 MM basketball footwear and apparel company.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

Success With An Internet Home Business Opportunity

When it comes to picking the right Internet home business opportunity to make an online income, it is very important that you choose something that has a business building system and that is very affordable. Most Internet home business opportunities are very affordable to get started, but don’t have a system to build it with. This is the reason many people fail, because they start it and have no idea how to build it, so they don’t make any money and quit.

There a lot of people who think that just because an opportunity is affordable and doesn’t cost a lot to get started, that opportunity is not going to pay them well. Even though there are many opportunities like this when it comes to an Internet home business opportunity, you won’t have to worry about that, because they will pay you great incentive bonuses for your efforts.

If you ever wanted to make an online income, then this is the best way to get going without having to worry about losing a lot of money to do so. The one thing you have to keep in mind is that you’ll have to invest some of your time because you have to learn the right knowledge required to be successful.
It works the same way as if you were going to college in order to learn a certain skill that you need to know before you start your career. The only difference is that it will be very affordable and many times completely free to learn online. The first thing you have to do is to simply go on the Internet and get exposed to it. If you don’t take this first step, there is no way that you’ll learn what must be learned in order to have a better idea about the online world.

There are many different types of Internet business opportunities that you can choose from, so I’ll make it easier for you. The first one I suggest that you checkout is a free confidential report with a very simple step by step business building system that all the gurus use to make thousands online, on just about autopilot by clicking the “Internet Home Business Opportunity” website link in my author box below.

Small Business Success

What determines whether a small business succeeds or fails? Well, we don’t have any ultimate answers-yet. Business success usually means creating a possible entity (business) that returns its investment and earns a profit. Every day, new business ventures are created. Some of these businesses will succeed, but many will fall by the wayside. Ultimately, a successful start up business person is someone who opens, manages and runs a successful start up business and can repeat the process. This is someone who has accepted the responsibility and learned how the job is done.

There are certain rules for small business success.

Find a place:

For small
businesses, it is best to find a place. A small company with limited resources can efficiently serve position
markets. Concentrate your efforts on a fairly narrow market offering. This entails sticking to what you do best, and becoming an expert in that field. Don’t struggle to be the lowest cost provider. Look for what makes your product or service unique and adds a special value for the client and charge for that value.

Good financial system:

The most basic system every business should have is a good financial system. Ask yourself how I am going to generate enough income to support myself and my family. Now, you can move on to the business budget and sales planning, so you can see how many sales you need to break even and make a profit.

Produce good quality:

The next principle is that you need to have a high quality product or service. This will be your best advertisement. Second-rate quality products usually generate poor customer satisfaction. A dissatisfied customer can be very dangerous for your business. Usually they tell on average about fourteen other people who will then be disinclined to buy your product or service based on the experience of that one disappointed person. Therefore, always aim for a top quality product or service.

Provide customer needs:

Listen and react to your customer’s needs. Customers need to feel that they are important to you because they are! When you focus on your customers and gain their trust, they will not only recommend you but they will also remain loyal to you. Remember, personal recommendation and word-of-mouth is the least costly yet most effective marketing strategy for your business.

Success planning:

An entrepreneur should understand the power of planning. A good plan helps you increase your chances of succeeding and can help you define your business concepts, estimate costs, predict sales and control your risks. It tells you where you are going and how to get there. Going into
business without a plan is like driving into a foreign land without a road map.
