Web designers boggle me in that they spend weeks designing, but never look at usability tests. How are you meant to know your customer unless you watch them use it?

Feels good to know that you’ve had a good influence on someone’s life. There’s a certain non material reward and warmth of soul when helping others and if you can achieve that through your business then you are accomplished.
Take care,

Basically when you are starting or running your business then you are not the owner. Your owner is your customer or client for whom you are working or providing services whatever your services are. So, be patient and careful when you have to serve your boss because he can be very angry but you have to bear and show the patience and cover it with your tactics or skills that how well you deal with your customers.

It is after that I recognized that I was bearing the burden on my bears but was traveling in a high pace vehicle. It not ever appeared to me to hold the burden down on the vehicle. I now understand better.

Great thoughts. It’s true, we don’t have a business just to earn money, but we have a business to serve customers. Whatever we cater, we should at least know the goal of our business.

Knowing about the needs of the customer and its nature is more important than anything else. My only target is satisfy the customer whatever the scenario or condition is. Basically your customer satisfaction is the real backbone for the popularity of your business whether you have as much resources you needed. Its all about the tactics how you justify before your customers.

Yep, right on. Business is to bring money, which is time, which is energy source. How do we utilize our own energy?…that’s the question. Ancients knew their stuff.

I had found myself very immature after reading your blog post as far as my business marketing is concerned. I got the point that i dont as much as i should know and also my clients are not as much satisfied as much they should be.

To be fair, I think the literal application of that statement to business would be something more like “He who’s studied marketing and learned from great teachers is wise, But he who truly understands his own business is enlightened”. On the other hand, I believe if Laozi could somehow react to his philosophy being applied to marketing in 21st century America, his reaction would be decidedly critical. This guy was the major religious holy-man of Ancient China after all

Really nice points! I am actually a young professional trying to break in to this world. With my experience knowing who you really are gives you an advantage because you know where you stand. For the business side, it is a must to know your business ins and outs. To be able to sell to other people your brand you must be prepared to back it up with all the right information.

Great post, and two great quotes! I would say I know myself pretty well, but I can always know myself even better, if that makes any sense. I think it’s a process, and I haven’t reached the end of it yet.

Wonderful and thoughtful quote. Seems like I have to invest in a copy of Tao Te Ching.
