Peter Drucker stated that marketing is not the same as sales; instead, it aims to make sales unnecessary. He also mentioned that marketing is not just the final step in production but occurs at every stage from beginning to end. Furthermore, a company’s functions can be categorized into marketing and innovation. While sales are vital for generating revenue, it’s crucial to grasp the concept that marketing makes sales redundant. Many companies struggle because they fail to understand this concept and incur losses from unnecessary expenses. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

In the Old Testament, the book of Exodus, verse 8:9, depicts a scene where God promises Moses that Israel will escape from Egypt and be led to Canaan, the Promised Land. This is described as “a land where the rocks are iron and you can dig copper out of the hills.” This event took place during the Bronze Age civilization, but God mentions the resources that exist in the Promised Land, highlighting the transition from the Bronze Age to the Iron Age. Indeed, after migrating to Canaan, Israel established a copper mine to extract copper. The advancements in civilization and technology during this period hold significant historical importance for humanity. We are currently living in one of those transformative times. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

The most reliable path to wealth in this world is having foresight. Among the characters of the Old Testament, Joseph exemplified this; initially sold as a slave in Egypt, he eventually ascended to become the imperial premier, elevated from a prisoner due to his ability to foresee events. Fourteen years later, his foresight again led to the nation’s prosperity. For anyone to gain this foresight, they must gather information, analyze it, and put in substantial effort. However, there’s a key condition: the knowledge of the future must be kept exclusive to oneself. Moreover, it’s not enough to simply know; one must believe in and act upon one’s insights. Thus, both the wealthy individual and the prophet share a critical trait. Essentially, wealth stems from a unique grasp and monopoly on the future. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
