Storytelling: Life revolves around storytelling. Both business and investment depend on it. Every story has a context that should be clear through common sense and logic. Stock prices mirror the story behind trading volume. If you learn to understand these stories, it gives you a benefit in stock trading. The restaurant industry is about storytelling related to service, while sales on Internet shopping sites tell a story about product distribution. Good storytelling can grab people’s attention, entice them, and evoke their emotions. Novels and dramas offer many valuable lessons on how to build wealth, as storytelling is a powerful way to connect with the world. Humans learn and understand through storytelling. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
In business, capital means business funds. A successful entrepreneur often says, "I started my business without any capital". It's partly true, but it's a lie. The entrepreneur just said that capital means only cash. However, all kinds of businesses need to be fundamentally business funds in any even not cash. The entrepreneur didn't count the founder's labor cost. No inputs, no outcomes. The uncounted labor costs are called "alternative costs" or "opportunity costs". This comes from comparative advantage. If the entrepreneur doesn't accept the uncounted labor cost as a debt, the entrepreneur is equivalent to losing the profit due to opportunity costs. Please always remember this. There is no free lunch in this world. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
