There are two main ways humans can generate income: sales power and volatility. Added value is continuously created through production, which involves actions to generate this added value. By adding new layers of value to basic ones, additional value is created—for example, making bread from wheat flour. The ability to persuade someone to buy this added value is known as sales power. Therefore, VAT is a tax paid by the final consumer. When sales power is strong, a significant amount of added value remains, leading to wealth accumulation. The second method is volatility. We can buy and sell assets that create either fundamental or added value. The former includes items like gold or commodities, while the latter refers to companies and assets such as stocks. Volatility occurs because prices fluctuate based on the sales power of producers, creating added value, and the balance between supply and demand for assets. Warren Buffett has avoided investing in gold because it cannot generate add...

In business, the term ‘business funds ( capital )’ has two very important meanings. One refers to the initial resources of the business and serves as the standard for measuring profit , while the other indicates that the owner of the business funds owns the business. If the profit rate is high, it shows the business is strong, and the amount and type of business funds needed depend on its size or nature. To start a large-scale business, you need substantial funds. If your funds are not enough, you will have to borrow from someone else or close the business. Until you pay it back, it’s not truly your own business. Business funds reveal everything about the business. In other words, the source is capital, meaning ‘root.’ It’s false to claim the business was successful without any of its own funds. A business must have some form of funds— cash or otherwise—to survive. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

People understand that a brand is established when it is named. However, a brand requires a named entity , and that entity must be cherished by consumers. This means there must be prior production, followed by a name. The essence of branding lies in manufacturing. Capital is necessary to produce goods that meet consumer needs. Individuals can create a brand simply by distributing products made by others, but they will eventually face limitations. Manufacturing capacity is crucial to branding, and most of the world’s renowned brands emerge from this productivity. Don’t confuse this with branding by merely assigning a name. They will soon find themselves in trouble if they mistakenly think they are branding without securing manufacturing capacity . Even if you don’t own a manufacturing facility , branding becomes simpler if you establish the ability and framework to control those facilities and raw materials. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

‘ Capital ’ means ‘ Principal .’ What does ‘Principal’ mean in business ? The ultimate goal of any business is to create wealth. Wealth serves as the foundation for creating value, and that value must be generated solely through production. To produce, the cost must be invested first; the source of that cost is referred to as ‘Principal.’ In other words, the result of a transaction through trading is ‘ revenues ,’ and if costs and expenses are subtracted from sales, what remains is ‘ profit .’ If costs and expenses exceed revenues, it results in a losing trade; if they are lower, it results in a profitable trade. Therefore, principal serves as the benchmark for profitability ; in other words, it is referred to as capital. Whether a business is good or bad is determined by its profitability. If the principal is insufficient, borrowing capital becomes necessary, which is termed “ debt .” Just as the number of principals capable of producing tankers differs from those that can create ...

For entrepreneurs, making money is the most crucial aspect, but as the business grows, the nature of the money itself and accounting principles often determine its survival. Numbers represent money, but there is an invisible attribute accompanying it. Even with the same one million dollars, one million dollars in capital and one million dollars in debt represent fundamentally different attributes of money. Money has an invisible label attached to it, and understanding this can enable you to grow your business even further. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
