Inventory management + the benefits of bundled products -“according to N.W.A.” [!]

****

To be a dopeman, boy, you must qualify

Don’t get high off your own supply

From a ki’ to a G it’s all about money

Ten piece for a champ, bass pipe comes free

N.W.A.     Dopeman

Takeaway 149:  Discipline on margins is critical.  And inventory management is essential.  Also, nice bundling of complementary products may differentiate you from the other commodity business competitors.

Who Gon Stop Me}{takeaway on $

“Heard Yeezy was racist, well, I guess that’s on one basis:

I only like green faces“ – Kanye West

Takeaway $: The old joke goes that on the day segregation ended as a matter of law in the U.S. South, the busdriver told kids on the school bus the following: “Today, nobody is black or white, boys and girls. Today you are all green…..Now all your dark skin kids get to the back of the bus and all you light skin kids come to the front.” I know, it’s bad.  Anyhow….BPM sees no color, no class, no creed. We see green $. Get your money today, boys and girls. Get yours….

Lead. Do not micromanage: Takeaway#169

***

“They all up on they high horse like equestrians
A lifetime ago we used to be the best of friends
But things change, now I’m feeling stressed again“

 Random & Lost Perception   (Cloud Strife ♦  Black Materia: Final Fantasy VII)

Takeaway169:  Management essentials. The org-chart tells everyone who you are, no need to flaunt it. Use it as shield not sword against your reports. You engender fear and respect, but can you inspire loyalty? A loyalty that will leave your troops without debilitating anxiety needed to help the enterprise soar? This is your mission this week … r u ready?
