Six Functions of Business Management

There are many ways to financial independence. You may maximize your savings, have insurance or the fastest way, invest in business. Choosing the latter to financial independence is the fastest way however, investing in business also has the biggest risk especially if you never really had a background of study about business management. 


Although I believe that there’s a sales person in everyone, as we all buy and sell every day in different forms and degrees, I don’t underestimate the value of having a formal study of business management. In fact, I believe that learning the basics in business is important in polishing our business’ skills. Below is a diagram of business management that I created to help you in your own business management journey. I call this PIC MAP (Production, Inventory, Cash flow, Man Power, Approach and Promotion), a simple, easy to understand diagram in business management functions for your efficient and competitive performance in the world of business.

1. Production. It’s the same as business operation or manufacturing. Business production can be so broad because it is basically the life of the business. The maximum sale of a business depends on the efficiency of business production or business operation. 

2. Inventory. It is the same as accounting. A good inventory keeps the business organized. Inventory is not as simple as tracking and keeping records of sale. A good inventory management is a practice of discipline every business owner should acquire which I will be discussing in a separate article.

3. Cash Flow. It is the same as finance. This is the business’ power. A good control of this power can help you grow your business and keep your business running for a long time.

4. Man power. It is the same as human resources management. The art of managing your workers lies on your good leadership skills. Maximizing your workers’ performance is also one way to ensure the success of the business.

5. Approach. It is the same as strategy or the business’ unique style to be competitive. It is a concrete, organized and efficient plan to achieve the business’ ultimate goal. 

6. Promotion. Business’ promotion is the same as marketing. It is the business’ fuel to move forward and grow. Aside from advertising, researching, and promoting, business’ marketing is so broad and mastering the art of adapting and keeping up with the changes play a big role in business’ marketing success. – M.D.

What the Elites Don’t Want You to Know

‘You are the author of your life.’ I’m sure you have heard this a thousand times before as this cliché has been said by a lot of great speakers to motivate their audience. But somehow, you most likely believe that some lives are authored by bloodline especially for people who are born with a silver spoon in the mouth. And you know that the quote ‘ You are the author of your life ’ is only applicable to regular people so that they couldn’t blame anyone for the poverty and scarcity they experience. -The Trap- Now let me tell you some truths that might shock the very core of you. The things that the world and the media has led you to believe are façade and lies to stop you from being free from the trap. And when I say trap, I mean that 9-5 job you’ve signed for. Trap is the routine that you do, an endless cycle of going to work, receiving your paycheck monthly, that’s not even enough to cover all the dues. Trap is also the miserable and dangerous world that you believe you are ...

A Gem Not Far From a Crowded City

Is your dream house unaffordable? Try looking for it in Fergus.   Fergus is the largest community in Centre Wellington, a township within Wellington County in Ontario and it is just a bit over one hour drive from Mississauga and Toronto. It lies on the Grand River about 18 km NNW of Guelph. The population of this community at the time of the 2016 Census was 20,767, but the community is growing as new homes are being built for sale. Fergus became an independent town until 1999 when the Township was formed by amalgamating Fergus, the Village of Elora, Ontario and the Townships of Nichol, Pilkington, West Garafraxa and a part of Eramosa. Fergus is has a number of natural settings such as the Elora Gorge and Conservation Area, and Belwood Lake. It is a mostly residential community filled with streets lined with trees, many stone buildings, modern schools, and many parklands suitable for recreation and picnics. It is laid out on a rectangular grid, with the Grand R...

Three Things Every Businessman Must Have

Maybe you are curious what it takes to be a successful businessman. Truth is, the things that I had learned more from them by merely observing them is twice as much than what I learned from the entire time I sat on my business management class from college. Here are the three things I believe that every successful businessman should have regardless of the field or business industry you are in.  1. Consistent Energy. In anything, consistency is always the name of the game. In business, consistency of the energy is one deciding factor whether the business will prosper or not. What is very consistent with all the successful people is the fire, the drive, and the passion. They just don’t let the vibe die. I guess enthusiasm is the word.  If you are not as enthusiastic and excited as before, your clients/customers would actually feel it. Whether you believe it or not, everything is made up of energy. Even your place of business has a vibe itself. I can still remember when...
