From the age of time a free market has put at the same table 2 major players a beneficiary/client and a provider of goods and/or services in order to negotiate an odd number of key elements:
- — QUALITY
- — Time
- — Money ($)
And somebody usually got two elements out of the negotiation(usually the client because he paid for the product/service and had the leverage of creating and moving the market trend — characteristic of normal market-conditions of developed economies and those were: Time and Quality)and so the other one, the provider was left with just one KEY element($).
And this simple equation at a macro scale applies to pretty much all verticals and all horizontals in the economic land space…
Are there situations or rather factors that can influence this simple easy to understand equation ?
Yes — and the most obvious one is the supply vs demand factor.
Lets take for example there is too much demand(driven by big number of clients/beneficiaries)at a specific time in the market and too little supply, then the leverage in the negotiation is shifted to the provider of goods so he in turn leaves now with 2 KEY elements and the client/beneficiary is left with just one(characteristic to emerging markets of countries under development or major crisis cycles of the developed countries).
And depending on the business model under this transaction is made in and the different levels the business is at currently, there can be slightly different variations of this kind of scenarios.
So if you want to be successful you need to learn how to proper position yourself in the markets at the right time to get the most out of the markets!
Are there situations where one part leaves with all the KEY elements from the table of negotiations?
Yes, but these are extremely rare cases, that are so far fetched from the reality of normal free markets and that are usually spiked out of proportions by outside factors of the free markets and driven by unfair advantages and are definitely not sustainable long term business use cases …, it’s probably why when you get such an offer — the best product at the lowest cost in the fastest time … you somewhat feel it inside you … there’s something fishy around !
With that in mind lets say you are working in a business as an Employee(the E — Quadrant) that does just that, offers clients the best solution, at the lowest price and in the fastest time. How you might wonder? Is it a trick, a scam or is it just a plain simple bluff ? The real question you should be asking is are you feeling burnt out, because if you are, let me tell you something to get you out of the zombie zone, the trick is on you !
WHY you dare even ask?
Simply because if you aren’t getting paid in direct proportion to your effort that drives the burn out, either your boss lacks some business perspective acumen skills, either you lack some self esteem and possibly some much needed neurons!
As a Business owner you should only do the unsustainable strategy with an exact plan and specific calculation schedule of enough assured resources deployed in such a manner that you gain that much needed market share that enables you to somehow cut the variables in your business and remain the biggest fish in the pond sort of speak …
As an Employee you should only work for such an unsustainable business in exchange of equity in the business …
As an Investor you should only invest in a such unsustainable business only and only if they have those details already sorted out …
