Every interaction between two people is really a series of three conversations: 1) The conversation you are having with each other, 2) The conversations you are having with yourself in your head, and 3) The subconscious memory conversations that trigger your emotions along the way. Being able to monitor conversations #1 and #2, along with your ability to understand your triggers for conversation #3 is a skill known as “emotional intelligence.”

But when the business does not generate enough revenue to pay back the loan on time, then comes the real problem. The business can break under this financial pressure.

By Fatima MansoorApril 09, 2019Comments Disabled

Giving birth to a new product idea, developing it, designing it and launching it can envelope a dizzying and daunting array of steps. The amount of time you invest in each step relies on which one you give more preference to – rapidly manufacturing the product or taking your time ensuring top quality. However, it is also a truism that in a majority of cases, you may have to pick either. And this compromise can either make or break your product launch.
