PRODUCTIVITY –

Increase Your Production

        Productivity is not an end in itself, that end should be customer satisfaction.

        A customer- perspective starts with the market, then the product.

        Try to build new products around gaps in the current market,  trends and fashions.

        It’s only productive if it’s measurable and profitable.

        What ever you make in business, if you don’t make a profit, you won’t make it for long.
