Joseph's "Just My Thoughts"

A ‘transaction’ is an act of debt between parties. The seller owes goods to the buyer (performance debt), and the buyer owes money to the seller (monetary debt). A transaction is considered complete when the debt is settled and the promise to owe each other is called a ‘contract.’ Thus, a good trader or businessman excels at making and repaying debts. When it comes to debt, the type of debt matters. Anyone who misjudges this should not engage in business. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

“I can live well alone!” is not correct. If I live alone, I can survive to some extent, but ultimately, it is hard to survive, and “living well” is even more challenging. This is because the economic principle is established not by ‘alone’ but by ‘many people.’ If I live well, it means that someone has become poor because of me or is living well with me. The fact that through value exchange, or transaction, we can meet each other’s needs and store the surplus from that production is both true and real. Trading is not done in isolation. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Value and price are different. Value results from relative comparison, and the numerical expression of this result is price; however, value and price do not always align . If the price-to-value ratio is positive, the seller makes a profit while the buyer incurs a loss. Conversely, if it is negative, the seller faces a loss, and the buyer gains a profit. Transactions occur at price, not at value . Handling the ground differs from selling without knowing that gold is buried and purchasing with that knowledge while keeping it hidden. The disparity between value and price creates a divide between wealth and poverty . - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

All added values must be expressed in terms of ‘Price’ to create a ‘transaction’, and only when a transaction is concluded is the added value realized. Even if you possess added value but no transactions occur, the value cannot be realized in a self-transaction; it merely exists as intrinsic value. Wealth is formed only when the added value is realized and accumulated, making a ‘transaction’ essential. This implies that the formation of wealth requires a “party to deal with (counterparty).” This is known as a ‘customer’; some of them purchase your value, while others may be your competitors or disruptors who could diminish your added value or hinder its realization. Therefore, it is crucial to understand precisely what kind of person or company is acquiring your value-added. Not all deals are beneficial to you. If you cannot make this judgment, you are merely doing what is often termed “something good” for others, rather than for yourself. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

In business, a “transaction” is essential. This transaction focuses on addressing human needs. To fulfill these needs, one must choose methods that align with one’s moral values while also recognizing the limitations in addressing them. Therefore, businesses should satisfy these needs within the bounds of morality. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

We believe that we communicate with each other by exchanging text messages through mobile messengers without ever having to meet in person. Furthermore, we believe that property rights to land are simply changed by altering the name on the land document without physically moving the property. A transaction can only take place if you first conceptualize it. There’s no deal if you don’t get others on your side by conceptualizing your assets. The “assetization of value” that prices an asset creates a transaction target, and the conceptualization of that target makes it a transactionable credit. To succeed in business, you must be good at conceptualizing assets and assetizing values that others quickly agree upon. That’s the basis. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Some question the need for ethics and a mission in business, even when the company is profitable. A transaction involves meeting needs and recognizing values, both of which connect to “morality.” Trust underpins all transactions, and morality is its foundation. While anyone can err, it is our moral obligation to make amends. Though it may be tempting to disregard that morality by persisting in trade, there are decisions that, without an ethical framework, can lead to irreversible consequences. This is not merely a mistake. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Value is created through production and consumption, while added value emerges from exchange. An exchange is, in economic terms, a transaction and, in legal terms, a contract. Wealth is created when value-added accumulates. As a result of the coronavirus, humans are entering a period of quarantine. During this time, goats and deer are running in London's residential yards, and the Himalayan Mountains are invisible due to dust pollution in India. It is undeniable that human activity has had an absolute impact on nature. Your interactions and activities have significantly impacted the world, even if you didn't realize it. If you want to get rich, you have to stay active. You need to interact with the world anyway. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

"Asset" means the root of wealth. These “assets” live on credit. Each kind of faith is different. When someone trusts me, someone will trust my gentle character, my sincerity in keeping my promise, or my will to do what I do. In commercial transactions, however, other trading parties trust my “assets” rather than my personality. Even if you do not have a good personality, if you have a lot of assets, transactions with him are active. Wealth is faithful to principles and does not discriminate based on personality. But this does not mean that personality is unnecessary. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

We all know that seeing your business through the eyes of your customers increases your chances of success. But most of us mistakenly think we're seeing it from the customer's perspective while we see it as a supplier rather than a customer. Uber and Airbnb executives regularly use their services as customers. Try getting your family to buy your product or service. The more non-face-to-face the transaction, the more detailed the information the customers have about the sellers. If not about the product information, at least about the purchasing information. It doesn't matter how good your product is if they don't buy it, that's it! - Joseph’s "just my thoughts"
