But, There Is A Depression! How Can Value Be Created Now?
Research shows some of the biggest, most successful companies were started during an economic downturn. Some of these were IBM, GE, GM, Chrysler, and General Foods.
(True, some have failed spectacularly during the past 80 years, but that is another subject for the future, but that is my point that everyday value creation is critical.)
In fact, if you give the subject some thought, when would it be a better time to start providing problem solutions than when there are so many problems that require solutions?
As we have pointed out in past posts, NO business can prosper WITHOUT providing products or services that provide superior value to the marketplace. Each of these outputs of production MUST excel at solving a very specific customer problem. The key area critical to success is to determine the highest value solution that you can provide because your business is unique and is THE ONLY business that has the ability to offer your unique solution to your customer. The easiest way to determine what value the customer needs the most is to ask open questions and listen carefully to the answers.

Here is a favorite quote from Napoleon Hill. Enjoy!
BEFORE WORRYING ABOUT HOW TO GET MORE PAY,
TRY THINKING HOW YOU CAN DO A BETTER JOB AND YOU MAY NOT NEED TO WORRY.
When you devote your time and efforts to doing your best at every job you do, instead of developing persuasive arguments why you should be paid more for what you do, the pay raises will take care of themselves. When you approach every job enthusiastically in a spirit of friendly cooperation, you distinguish yourself from the vast majority of people whose primary concerns include breaks, benefits, paychecks, and quitting time. Don’t complain about your status or your pay to anyone, not even to your best friend. Word will eventually get back to the boss. Which type of worker would you rather have on your team: one who complains constantly or one who is always helpful, cheerful, and reliable?
