Unless you are self-sufficient, you must trade your products for those of others to survive. An exchange economy was established for the efficient survival of humanity. Economic activity leads to wealth accumulation, so for wealth to exist, there must be a counterparty. This means you cannot thrive on your own. However, having many counterparties also means that some of them could compete with your business. Exchange becomes straightforward only through the establishment of a price, which acts as an indicator of competition. Trading at a high price could generate significant wealth, but competition can hinder success. In other words, I survive because of others, while my survival is also threatened by them. Business inherently involves competition. This is why any business plan must include a strategy that considers competition. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Previously, the medium held exclusive power over the message, making its truth unquestionable. Now, with digital technology enabling individual media creation, anyone can craft a message. Essentially, messages have transformed into their own mediums. When you produce a shareable message, you effectively become a medium yourself. However, the significance of sending messages is often overlooked. The perceived value of a message shifts dramatically when people trust the messenger’s identity. Therefore, to manage Instagram effectively, prioritize establishing a credible identity and consistently sharing valuable content. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
