Connectivity and Opportunity: Opportunities come when you uncover connections that others haven’t seen. Humans create events, which then feed back into the world and cause change. By interpreting and discovering interconnected elements more quickly or differently than others, we open doors to progress. For example, people realized that a multiplex cinema’s competitor was a theme park, not just another cinema—showing how movie theaters and outdoor theme parks were connected. Another case is Lego: while sales were declining, they initially blamed computer games. However, they later discovered the real issue was a shift in children’s play culture. These examples illustrate how recognizing invisible connections boosts your chances of staying competitive. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
A shareholder is the owner of a company. A shareholder is someone who invests capital in a company. There are three ways for shareholders to take money from the invested company: 1) become an executive or employee and receive wages, 2) receive dividends after settlement, or 3) receive remaining assets (liquidation property) excluding debts when the company is liquidated. A third party investing in the company is directly irrelevant to the existing shareholders in cash flow. Despite the shareholder owning the company, there is no way to share the surplus capital caused by the investments among the existing shareholders other than 1) and 2) except for company liquidation No. 3. Let me be clear: receiving an investment does not guarantee benefits for the company. It simply covers future costs and expenses in advance. Capital inducement means increasing the heavy duty of leaving profits, not being given profits unconditionally. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
