As a child I loved to go to weddings. It was special day for the first time in the year that everyone has fun extravagant. There were copious amounts of food, free drinks spilled all flowing strongly in the beauty of the ornate room adorned with many brilliant people involved that shines in their best wedding dresses. It was literally heaven on earth ... That was until I reached my late twenties, the sky began to get a bit too close to my country. This was the period in time to marry my friends, classmates and friends of the university began, all were married. Even my enemies were to be married. And because he knows that time comes, you are in a variety of questions that can be taken in one sentence summed up sweet and boring "to marry, if"
There was really no problem, that had formed in the act of circumvention to reduce the impact of the questions in my head. As I said, I really enjoyed the wedding. But the problem is that more and more people began to marry in my area, began to share their stories with me wedding planning. And the more they share their stories about marriages ruined for me. But that was nothing compared to the day, said a true friend of my family, all your wedding expenses with me ... It was established as the first day that their parents actually had sex, did not, and never suspected, but confirmed that indeed in a bad state of his mind. After hearing what I said, I felt guilty for loving marriage and began to be illogical obsession with weddings of society. What did he say?
It was the cost of marriage. A whopping $ 55,000 for a unique wedding! And their marriage was a simple wedding I attended in my short life, so if I was the number I was blown away. No wonder so many marriages that I liked was the extravagant wealth created. "How can you spend money on a single marriage?" I thought so. Now I am not aware of the anti-romantic foreign currency or individual. I am realistic and spent $ 55,000 on a wedding seemed pretty bizarre to me. But even more annoying is the fact that most believe that $ 50,000 was pretty cheap for a wedding! Ironically, the only figure not 50K wedding ring ... additional cost of $ 7000th These numbers are driven by the ghost of the laws of marriage ... For example, the rule states that the popular engagement ring her boyfriend could cost at least 2 months' salary. Nothing less than this is not enough somehow. Status of other regulations that have an engagement party, a marriage and, in cases such as Nigeria, followed by a traditional wedding have separated. The ROI (Return on Investment) addict, I would tend to question these figures. If marriage really be treated as a business, then people will think twice before spending the importance of such sums of money.
According to the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), completed about a third of new marriages among young people in divorce within 10 years and 43 percent over 15 years. But yet men are more than willing to invest their savings in an institution, the ROI has been shown statistically poor dive. It's like putting money in a bank you know has a 50% chance of extinction. This is the reality that is becoming a wedding industry that marriage marriage fairy tale, is hidden. So you have to convince couples to actually break the bank to finance his dream of once in a long marriage ... and couples are doing exactly that, because frentic by the media, the waters of the history of the fairy tale wedding can get into our television screens. Celebrity weddings, a $ 1,000,000 cost of $ 10 million in our television screens and blogs from media around the world and promoted the idea that forced marriages should be extravagant. If it is something that could sum up the excitement, there is nothing more than a "wedding of the century."
Only in 2011 was Kim Kardashian Kris Humphries to marry an NBA player. It was a matter of normal celebrity marriage come the news that Kris had a cool $ 2 million at an output of 20.5 carat engagement ring. Then the media hype and the review was collected ... each spoke of marriage and the analysis of every detail of your unique financial expenses. The most important wedding ring designed by Lorraine Schwartz and a cold to win $ 1,000,000. The wedding invitations were created and delivered by Lahr and black for $ 10,000 for the event, some customers were not aware of the date of the wedding! He spent $ 400 000 to the Perrier Jouet Champagne, with an additional $ 60,000 for the Vera Wang wedding dresses three. The icing on the cake was, literally, the $ 15,000 on a wedding cake bakery Hensen past ... I want to know what a piece of $ 15 000 flavor of cake! In general, the estimated cost of the wedding around $ 20 million in total, have been and truly lives up to its label wedding of the century. Expensive for a marriage is a marriage that lasted only 78 days! It's like blowing all his life in less than three months.
What people do not know is that Kim is back as entrepreneurs. Even if your marriage is a $ 20 million to the surface, she was able to use his image in order to receive discounts and critical in most cases, corporate gifts. For example, $ 2,000,000 famous wedding ring was strongly influenced by Schwartz jewelry Wedding Invitations reduced $ 10,000 free Lahr Black Wedding, Bachelorette Party, sponsored, while $ 50,000 Tao restaurant in exchange for free advertising and pay for three wedding dresses? Each was offered exclusively by Vera Wang himself. But that's not the crazy part, E! would show $ 15 million over four hours, both sides have paid E! Special wedding. A high price is not even the additional $ 2.5 million by People magazine for exclusive coverage received at the wedding. Therefore, not only did not spend a lot of Kim in her marriage, but their marriage was a machine to make money. In the magazine, the media industry for the wedding ... everyone benefits. The only victims were gullible partners around the world believe the hype! Unfortunately, too many people who believe that advertising is not the first pages of many blogs and tabloids that show the truth behind the complexity of marriage. Instead, ensure coverage of a fairy tale wedding with smiling faces in the pages of newspapers around the world injected back into the cycle of forced marriage expensive and luxurious. Cause and people, a basic fact that many of us are smarter than Kim can ignore, "she said their marriage only as a business!" Ironically, many business owners do the opposite and management of their business such as weddings.
According to Statistics New Zealand, 53 percent of businesses fail small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the first three years. Research also suggests that two-thirds of economic collapse due to financial difficulties related to poor financial management. Does this sound familiar? Then, the word "business" in the above statistical replace "marriage" and that would end with a statistic that I have shared very similar to the above, except that bussineses tend to fail more quickly. Similar figures wrongly wedding and everything, because people start businesses such as cheap wedding dresses ... wedding with a huge face!
I had the good fortune to work with many new businesses and one of the quotes, I like to share with employers is that I received from my mentor, James Malinchak "I learned to not do that, something nice, what sells." Renting an apartment in the beautiful city center is pretty ... but if they do not cause to increase sales ... then it is not wise! Designing a custom site state of art is good ... but if it pays for itself in the middle of online sales or advertising, it is not wise! Spending tons of money for television and radio ads are great cute art ... But again, if it brings money to offset the cost of advertising if it is not smart! It is believed that the idea of marriage has new company in financial difficulties at first. A at some point, companies should focus on the profit margin and thistles of the brand. Because at the end of the day what really determines whether your business could survive.
A recent launch of Lagos wanted to replicate the U.S. group's business idea in Nigeria. They managed to raise $ 50 000 cash as seed money to fund his idea ... Then she did what any entrepreneur married ... are expensive to rent an office, staff hired and paid more for a state of art website. The only problem was not enough time to adapt to market your business or business idea to new market realities. For her it was an office that every business should a new employee and the hiring of an absolute must have. But without money or effort associated with market research and marketing of their products, not their business within a month. However, if you have the same way people like Mark Zuckerberg started in a bedroom, had no office or staff began the great work, which probably would have succeeded or failed their financial losses were minimal. But too often, new entrepreneurs to focus on the end product of successful companies, not the fight that recognize the principle of future success. Almost all successful technology companies started in a garage or home. When I decided to create my website, I quote some Ofilispeaks.com of $ 2,000 to $ 3,000 for a custom website, but I realized that such investment would not be economically reasonable to me, period. Instead, I opted for an expensive design model, which costs me only $ 25 (plus welding and Labour) and the website is what I have and still works today. Although limited in many areas, it helps not care what I have to do. In the future, the site makes $ 2000 custom, if financially for me ... I want to produce in a heartbeat. But now I'll stick with my idea of cheap, but effective model.
Such thing as a blogger, blogging live today from his bed all day. At first, when his business began to grow, fell into the trap of which I have spoken so much in this article ... Then you have to do what everybody does. So he rented an office. But he soon discovered that not really need an office and elsewhere, has affected your convenience, a blog on his bed. So instead of saying just stick in an office, which has an office, he soon left his post and returned to the blogs in your home. Today it is still much money they have in the office, but she gets to have a larger share because they do not have to pay office rent. So next time you face a financial business decision more important, trying to make decisions emblazoned / pretentious and instead focus on their balance hardcore "finance." Because at the end of the day is what counts. It's not the size of your office or staff or the website, but the size of the "clients" and "benefits" that matter. Remember, even "I do not know what is sweet, which is sold out!" Happy marriage ...
