Tyloid

For those of you who don’t know this is my 25th article on Tyloid (yeahhh) and I wanted this article to b special so I picked one of the most important topics I know of. That is  Carpe Diem which is seize the day written in Latin (see  now you now Latin.)  Now the reason this is so important is because so little of us do this. A lot of teenagers are on the computer playing shooting games. (Not that I have anything against you if you do) And a lot  of the times we say “I’ll do that later”. Never say that about something important like getting saved. 
The way I try to seize the day is list all the things I need to do today. If you’re not doing anything try and find something productive to do.

CARPE DIEM!

This is mainly dedicated to someone with a business interview but is important for any formal occasion. Basically there are certain rules that you should follow to be taken seriously.

1. Dress nicely. I’m talking ironed collard shirt and khaki pants. No shorts, stained shirts, or  pants with holes.
2. Clean up. Take a shower and shave. Don’t forget deodorant, and remember nothing ruins a interview quicker than B.O.
3. Use grammar. Don’t use  ain’t, cuz, dog, or anything like that. (But don’t use big words that you don’t know the meaning of.)
4. Appear organized have everything that you need. (Pencil and paper!)
5. Sit straight and have respect. NO gum.

With these 5 rules you can succeed.

Well if you have a business or are looking in to stock or anything like that sooner or later someone is going to say “well you’re a little young for that.”  Don’t be discouraged. It is going to happen, but be glad that your doing something that a lot of people didn’t expect you could do. Through out history a lot of famous people were between 12-17. Here our some examples. 

•  Some of the disciples were 12-17
• Most Native American tribes started their trained to be warriors at 10 
• Their was a pharaoh that ruled over all Egypt at 12
• In some 3rd world countries 13 years-old know how to use a AK-47

And their are more, if you know of any tell me. If kids like that could do some of the things up their then seeing what kind of market we’re in suddenly seams like child’s play. (no punt intended, well it kind of was) And it is the perfect reason to do your reserch and know about business that way you prove not only can you do it but you have.

Teen Business Central interviewed a business owner. basically what he said was key for getting customers to come again is… 

1. good products

2. cleanliness

3. good service

So focus on the things try to improve them as much as you can.  like if you don’t have good products ask customers their complaints and try to improve on them. If you need to work on cleanliness don’t open your business for customers until you area is clean make it your top priority.And if you need to work on good service have a good attitude, help customers as soon as you can, and try and smile.

You would have to never watch TV in order to not see the commercials about Mac Vs. PC  you know the ones where Mac talks about PC and how Mac is superior and now many restaurants like Pizza-Hut, Jack in the box, and Sonic are insulting the competition. I encourage you strongly not to do this when market your business. Focus on the good of your company and not the bad of others. If you do this then the consumer will figure out soon enough who is better.

The thing about business is that there intended to make money either to reinvest, make profit or to help. but before you start a business you have to ask yourself this question “Is their going to be a market?” Like opening up a shop that only sells New York stuff in Texas is not a good idea. Open up a store that will sell something the local public will want to buy. It does not matter if you like it the general public should like it to or else you wont well that much.

Before you start on your business you should answer some questions about it to know weather or not you want ot go ahead with it. Here are a few.

 1)Is it legal? .

2) Will it have wide social acceptance? 

3) Will it have a negative effect?

4) Who is your competition?

5) Does your product require existing products?

6) Will pricing be competitive?

7) Does your idea fit into a trend (if it does then this could be a bad idea if the trend short-term)

8 ) Is their a need for it? (if it does you could make a lot of money)

9) Is it a fad or does it have long-term value

10)How much will it cost to get you idea to market?

11)Does it need packaging?

12) Is it the simplest and most attractive it can be?

The important thing  about getting your name or your business name out there is to make sure people remember you. 

If you’re going to use a newspaper or an  internet site you need to keep it short and interesting and quick so the reader is not bored. The name has to be somewhat relevant to what your business is. You could also just go by your name and go by the power of your own integrity and reputation.

In your ad or logo, use  bold letters and large interesting ( but readable) fonts. Use words like new, awesome, great, best, and amazing. You want to include all of the important information; your business name, how they can contact you, what you do, and how much you cost. Doing all of these things in a short space can be challenging but very incredible important.
