In people, a generational issue, there is a vast difference between those born before mid-twentieth century and those born at the end of the century.

The evolution of communications technologies, the speed of information and globalization, are phenomena that brought great changes in our lives, and many struggled to incorporate and others preferred to stay out of any “new thing.”

Just enough to find out how many grandparents use MSN to communicate with their grandchildren, or how many people over 50 years using Facebook, to name a few. Others, however, have struggled to keep up with the new scenery around them and so keep up.

Computing, systems, social networks, how to communicate, among other things, are where most highlights the generational change, but not the only ones. The customs and people’s concerns are different.

Something similar can be found in the national small and medium enterprises. Large companies, especially multinationals, investing many resources to be updated and renewed constantly.

Disorganization, discouragement and other “double-edged sword” of the internet

If we consider the Internet as a means to generate income or enhance our business, we sit at the computer with some caution. Internet has some double-edged swords.

1. Internet can give us the feeling of playing and not take our work seriously.

2. Internet is very distracted, you must organize your time well.

3. Working with Internet gives us a freedom of times and spaces that can become disorganized.

4. Spend many hours on the Internet can alter our mood. You have to keep a healthy balance with the “real.”

5. Work with internet can cause unhealthy habits such as sedentary lifestyle, cervical problems … among others.

6. Many people believe that everything is free online. If you want to do something serious will have to spend money on training, advertising and more. Online course content and also has very interesting free sites, but one thing still to another.

7. Internet use in Spanish-speaking population is growing dramatically, but that does not mean everyone is prepared for business and internet shopping. Not everyone understands that use the Internet and fluent. You have to understand that when we approach our prospects and customers.

The two newest LCD TV’s from Panasonic, the 32′ and 37” LZD81, now come with built in LCD Freesat HD tuners. No subscription No cost Freesat-HD programming means Freesat out of the box without convertors or extra cabling. Plug in and get comfortable as soon as you bring it home. View more than 130 digital TV plus audio radio channels. See brilliant HD programmes from the BBC and ITV, all for free. And they all feature Panasonic’s V-Real Pro 3 picture technology which allows the TV to accept any type of HD source and produce up-scaling results that make SD look better than it ever has on ANY TV.

Most LCD freesat TV owners complain of side picture washout forcing everyone into a narrow stream in front of the screen. The IPS Alpha panels in the LZD81 models has an extra wide horizontally and vertically, 178 degree viewing angle that will please a wide crowd of viewers at one time.

And with all that picture enhancement it would be a shame not to offer something special for the audible side of HD and the V-Audio surround and V-Audio technologies which feature BBE (Bass Boost Enhancement) as part of Panasonic’s unique digital amplifier. And all that HD is easily connected to anything you have in your AV rack using multi-port HDMI connections for a Blu-ray disc player or DVD recorder as well as 2 SCART connectors, an SD Card and desktop PC Input.

Are you paying a really huge monthly cable or digital satellite bill. Did you choose to buy the next tier up the cost ladder just to get that one free show or network that you watch more than 50% of you TV time? That’s not a free channel or network, that’s like being held for a monthly ransom. Its like being forced to buy a chicken when all you want is a couple of eggs once a week. Its Insane and a waste of money.

Free Internet TV might just be for you. What are the favorite shows you want to watch and on what networks? Would you be willing to spend 99p to watch this weeks episode of your absolute most favorite weekly sitcom and be able to watch the whole lot of previous runs for free anytime you like. Sounds like a deal I could live with for quite some time. At least long enough to watch as much of the 3500 hours of Internet TV free that I can.

If you think the quality might be second best you’re wrong. The streaming video technology and broadband Internet can surpass the delivery of terrestrial and satellite based delivery. The only weak link might be a old style video monitor. But the new monitors and the multi-use wide screen LCD and Plasma TV’s are coming through with PC compatible connections as standards. For the price of a couple months of cable bills you can upgrade your tv or monitor and be ready for the future.

The design of the questionnaire is to ask the right questions, which allow us to obtain the required business information.

For example, if we gather information about the tastes and preferences of consumers regarding a product (for example, a piece of jeans), one of the questions might be:

Which of the following finishes prefers jeans?
* Embroidery
* Closures on pockets
* Colored stones
* Prints
* Other

Or, if we need to gather information about the possible acceptance of a new product (for example, a brand of jeans), one of the questions might be:

Would you be willing to try a new brand of jeans?
* Yes
* No
* Do not know / no opinion

The most important thing in our society, but even that money is freedom. What good is money if you’re free to spend it.

Freedom is to decide. People want to decide how to dress, what car you have, where you live … the noblest part of our job is to help decide what most interests the customer, and we call that advice. The worst side of our job is to convince people to choose what interests us, and we call sell.

Decide is to choose between different things, and to choose the best, we can do between the maximum possible choice.

When we advise a client not want to limit a few properties we have in our portfolio, but we help you select the best among all that is available to the market.

Give customers the freedom to choose, free market, meaning customers can and should choose someone who will advise, someone who will help you decide. This reflection has important implications that I’ll just lay down now: a) who decides the conditions to be met by someone to give advice (Professional Regulation) b) the importance of ensuring that there is competition between agents (eye fix fees or forms of work) and c) make sure that we differentiate ourselves from our competition. In short, the competition.

Finally, freedom is a very important aspect in our work as entrepreneurs. The management of business is to make decisions in choosing between possible options.

Business Planning in an enterprise can basically be of two types: strategic planning and tactical planning:

Strategic planning
In strategic planning analyzes the current situation, establishing the company’s overall objectives and strategies are developed, courses of action and strategic plans to reach these objectives, plans that affect a variety of activities that seem simple and generic .

Strategic planning is done at the organization, ie, consider a global approach to business, so it must be made by the leadership of the company and be done in the long run, in theory, for a period of 5 years and older, although in practice is usually done for a period of 3 to 5 years due to market changes.

Tactical planning
In the tactical planning analyzes the current situation, establishing specific targets or goals of the company, and design strategies, courses of action and tactical plans necessary to achieve those objectives, plans that unlike strategic plans, have a range narrow and limited, and down further.

The tactical planning is done at a functional level, ie considers only each department or area of the company, so it must be made by the managers or heads of each area, and be conducted in the medium term, for a period of 1 to 3 years.

Register and get a company is not an easy task. It is alleged that, on average, 70% of them fail before they reach 3 years and only 10% are over 5 years successfully.

Here we present the 5 main reasons why companies often fail, and some tips on how we can meet each of these reasons:

1. Lack of experience
Creating and managing a business is not easy, is not something you learn from the overnight, but it is something you learn over time. Learn how to create and manage a business requires theory, but above all, a lot of practice. The lack of experience often results in overly optimistic, unrealistic projections in hasty decisions in inefficient management, etc.

The experience acquired over time, simply by creating and managing businesses. If you do not have much experience, it is advisable to start small, beginning with a small business, taking some risk, and making decisions without fear of making mistakes or fail, knowing that mistakes and failure is where one learns more .

2. Lack of capital
Another reason why businesses fail is lack of capital. Problem that arises when one has not produced a good budget expenses, do not get the expected sales or the company grows too quickly and there is not enough money to take supply.

To address this problem, before starting a company, the first thing to do is develop a good business plan that allows us to make a good projection of both the expenditure and revenue, which, in turn, allows us to calculate what the capital requirements necessary to implement the business and to operate during the first months of life.

Another way to address this problem of lack of capital, is to seek to minimize investment (for example, by comparing either the prices of inputs and equipment, choosing rather to suppliers, etc.), But without sacrificing quality.
