    Entrepreneurs: Learn toSell (or Perish)

    By L rry G mbo

    Do yo remember times in yo r li e when yo got it?For ex mple, when Brother Benedict, my lgebr te cher,

    wo ld expl in polynomi ls, I j st co ld not get it.Di koma-gets. No m tter how I try.

    B t o r ye rs go, when Robert Kiyos ki wrote theollowing on ip ch rt t his two- nd- -h l d y B siness

    School in Sing pore, I got it!

    SaLES = INCOME

    When I s w Robert Kiyos ki o Rich Dad, Poor Dad write th t on the e sel p d nd expl in it in his bl nt w y,it seemed like c rt in opened nd light b lb shed,ill min ting my mind nd he rt. Getting Doctor te inB siness administ tion rom the university o Michig ndidnt do it. Being pro essor t the asi n Instit te o M n gement didnt do it. B t Roberts ip ch rt nd the

    words he wrote did. Tere m st be some tr th to the s yingth t when the st dent is re dy, the te cher will ppe r.

    Yes, Sales=Income. Pare, naintindihan ko ito(Tis Inderst nd), I told mysel . T t d y, nwittingly,Tink

    Rich, Pinoy w s born.No s les. No income. a nd it does not m tter who, b t ny s ccess l

    entreprene r p st, presentand t re h s to le rn how to sell. Henry Sy. John Gokongwei. Don ld r mp. BillG tes No s les, no s ccess.

    Bill G tes, s ys Bl ir Singer o Sales Dogs,m st h vebeen q king t his boots when he ced gi nt IBM nd soldthem the DOS oper ting system (which he l ter tr ns ormedinto Windows). Why? Bec se Mr. G tes did not even ownDOS t th t time! Dont yo think he m st h ve been teeny-weeny sc red?

    Mr. G tes ct lly sold IBM the prod ct DOS nd terw rds

    went o t to nd nd b y the system. Now th ts selling! and yonow know the INCOME th t ollowed rom th t s le. Tey wereeno gh to m ke Bill G tes the richest m n in the world tod y.SaLES = INCOME. Its power l eq tion.

    Now gr nted there re other things th t m ke or s ccess lb siness, like n efcient system, leg l nd decent prod ct

    or service, not to mention binding mission, n inspiringle dership nd good te m, b t nless yo h ve s les bringingin income, the b siness will coll pse.Nada. Bokya. Zero.

    Pro t, s ys Mr. Sixto Rox s, my rst b siness boss ndmentor, is condition o vi bility. In short, no money, nohoney. and where does pro t come rom? SaLES! So here is

    wh t I le rned rom the asi n Instit te o M n gement ndthe university o Michig n:

  • 8/8/2019 Think Rich Quick

    Tink Rich Quick!

    Tis is wh t is t ght in every b siness school: TeIncome St tement. Yo w nt to improve pro t? Either c tdown expense or incre se yo r income. B t wh t i yo do noth ve income? Yo get the dot-com sco where comp nies

    th t were being v l ed wildly h d no re l income or reven estre m. and wh t ollows is the dot-com coll pse. So be oreny income st tement comes the b sic insight.

    and th t is not le rned in b siness school. It is le rned inthe school o h rd knocks. Te school o the mily. Street-Sm rt university they c ll it.

    Te go l is simply to gener te c sh ow by le rning thert nd discipline o selling. Only when prod ct or service is

    sold does b siness begin. S les bre the li e into b siness.

    Nothing h ppens ntil something moves, s ys albertEinstein. How do yo move with the eq tion s les=income?By becoming n entreprene r. S ccess l entreprene rs h vem stered the rt th t SaLES=INCOME. Te re lity o thisis injected into their DNa.

    Tro gh the ct o entreprene rship, b siness isconceived. B t only when SaLES=INCOME does theb siness grow strong, s rvive nd thrive.
