Conversations with bo-Tebogo, Fascinating Books on Success, And 'On The FGM Ts Sales Front - Part 6'.

* Getting a chance to speak to a gentleman called Tebogo.He is the guy who sells car stickers at the robots next to the BP garage here in my 'kasi'(Protea North).He regaled me with tales of what it is like to sell stuff to passing motorists.For example,how some drivers pull up their windows when he approaches.And he was quite philosophical about such things.He admitted that it comes with his territory.
But what I really admired about Tebogo was how hard he works.He is at these robots from 9am to 6pm almost every day.And he does all this selling while standing on his feet.
It occured to me that if some of us could work even half as hard as Tebogo does we could indeed go far
in life.

"Thanks for the inspiration,Tebogo."


* Finishing my reading of the book - OUTLIERS -by Malcolm Gladwell.And being hugely motivated by it.In this book Mr Gladwell explores some theories about what makes people successful.With a lot of statistics to back up his theories,he tries to show that most of the really successful people in the world don't become so in isolation.In other words,there are always certain factors that help them along the way.These factors could be things like their family history,or the fact that when they made it there was no economic depression in the world to deal with,so on and so forth.There is nothing like a self-made man,Malcom maintains.
I particularly loved two chapters in this book.These two chapters - '10 000 Hours' and 'Marita's Bargain' - stress how paramount it is to work hard at your chosen profession.The message in these two chapters is gospel to live by.


* ON THE FGM Ts SALES FRONT - PART 6

Due to the general reluctance from people as a whole to buy a mere t-shirt for R150, I decided to bring down the price to R100 a T.This was not an easy decision to make.Selling the FGM Ts for R100 makes our margin very low.And I did not take this 'forced' price reduction lying down.For example,I indicated that the Ts are made by the Barron company,which has a high reputation in the t-shirt manufacturing business.I also mentioned that our Ts are embroidered as opposed to being printed.Embroidered writing lasts longer compared to the printed one.All of this was to no avail.
With the people having spoken, I had to oblige.Also,admittedly it is better - at this stage - move the stock than to debate the merits of of the T price.

With a more agreeable price of R100,this week saw a slight movement on the Ts front.Another T was sold.
