I used to get my MBA students in a tizzy on the first day of Management Finance 101, when I shared that everything they were about to learn in class was motivated by one thing...maximizing stockholder wealth. They would protest with statements like "But what about customer satisfaction or good will?" To which I'd say, "OK, but only to the extent they serve to maximize stockholder wealth."
So, to your question, the one thing a business person should concentrate on is maximizing the wealth of ownership, be they stockholders, partners, or just yourself. But before you run off and cheat, kill, bribe, torture, and lower your self-respect, think this through.
If you do any or all those things, you will not maximize ownership wealth. Why; because any one of those things is likely to diminish your market-base (customers) and cause your revenues to tank. Look at the Enron execs, for example.
No, to identify, attract, and keep customers, which is the way you maximize ownership wealth, you need to keep your business going; and all those negative things you listed are sure to eventually shut it down. Recognizing this, the long-term ongoing successes, like Dell, HP, Lockheed, etc., concentrate their businesses on the things that matter to their customers: service, quality, availability, pricing, etc. |

Sounds like you're really unhappy in your situation...If you're open to the idea of bringing in additional streams of income working from the comfort of your own home, visit http://www.bedavis1.mywayout.net and watch the simple proven formula presentation that not only tells about the business but how it works too. While doing research, do check with the BBB (better business bureau) on any company you're looking at for legitimacy, ill complaints and ratings of the company. Robert Kiyosaki's book (from the Rich Dad Poor Dad) "The Business School" says this is the way to go!
Good luck on your endeavor! |
