Understanding what one belongs to is knowledge derived from personal experience. In fact, the experiences of others can provide a more accurate understanding of your place in the world. A third-party perspective is crucial for problem-solving. The viewpoint and position of an outsider, rather than my own, enable me to comprehend my situation most objectively. A solution lacking objectivity is likely to lead to the repetition of problems and may render them unsolvable forever. When I ascend the mountain and gaze down at the town I live in, I notice things I’ve never seen before. Significant progress occurs when a third-party perspective is applied. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Just my thoughts #0500

In an exchange economy , where goods or services are well-made and exchanged for one another’s needs in the market, rather than through barter , ‘ price ’ holds significant importance. The key to business success lies in understanding the prime cost and establishing a ‘price’ based on that cost. If sales surge when a product that typically does not sell well is offered at a very low price, there must be a reason for the low price, as well as an explanation for why it does not sell at a higher price. The price results from the interaction of producers, consumers, and all other market variables . To identify the causes of problems in your business, you must first examine the price adequacy of the product or service you are selling. Price is not merely a number. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
