7 HIDDEN PRINCIPLES OF PROSPERITY

The words “Principles of Prosperity” refer to certain classified information that is known and hoarded by a very privileged few. It’s the decided action on this vital information that invites financial independence and opulence. Some of the principles are:

PRINCIPLE ONE: You must save 10% of every earning, starting from today. The man who keeps money in the manner described above shall possess money consciousness.

PRINCIPE TWO: You must invest your savings. In the process of investing, remember that the safety of your capital is more important than the anticipated gain.

PRINCIPLE THREE: Own your own house, this way, you become liberated from ‘legal encumbrances’ and you enjoy freedom and liberty.

 

PART FIVE

THE 10PS OF MARKETING AND ORGANISATIONAL SUCCESS

If we know that all results flow from actions and those actions without thinking is the cause of all organizational failures, then an organized system of logical and scientific thinking will bubble to the top, as priority, where efficiency and effectiveness are in demand.

PRODUCT OR SERVICE: The starting point of adding value to products or services is product knowledge. You must be willing to learn more, and know more, about your service than anyone alive.

PRICE: Price is the second thinking tool in marketing. It’s vital to give due consideration to price; what the customer will be willing and able to pay for products and services.

PROMOTION: Promotion pertains to the communication part of marketing management, the way and manner of reaching out to attract and keep more customers so that they enjoy enough patronage to generate sustainable growth and profitability.

PROFIT: Profit is the gain of marketing; the hidden desire behind the generation and keeping of customers.
