Jason Fried of 37signals talks about why you should give your best ideas away to your customers. Just like the great chefs of the world showing us how to make, step by step amazing Italian dishes, they don't fear competition opening up tomorrow next to their resto.
I've always believed that information needs to be shared to people in your organization to force movement to the next levels, but now there is an equally important reason.
All Great Ideas (even the ones you are keeping secret) are already out there on the web somewhere, and it is all boils down to execution. It's not anymore about Great Ideas... it's about having the ability as an individual or as an organization to make things happen.

It feels so Good, to know our First establishment ( Badhige.com ) is celebrating one year of Service today. One year of survival is good enough compare to new experimental establishment in such a Small Market like Maldives.
We have announced Two New Products and Put the Mock up for both of them.
Which is MaaMall ( a Online Shopping Mall ) and Flower Maldives ( a Online Flower Store )
And we believe both of this products will become Pioneers of Online Shopping in Maldives.
Apart of Some Auction sites and Few online shops in Maldives, We work exclusively on building these projects while we have a team to take care of our customers personally.
Advantages and offers for our Customers will be more attractive.While we generate more publicity and profitable income to our Vendor Brands. Recently i been busy with these projects and did sit down with my proposal with few vendors, So far the response is very Positive.
Some may still believe its impossible, But we as a teams belief is nothing is impossible if we Think positive, it will Happen. IA
See you all soon with more updates on these project.
We know our customers can't wait to experience the new services ( Please Hold on a While )
Its almost a year after we started Badhige.com delivery service.
Our low profile company is in operation with a huge support from our customers and Vendors.
We work with a very low Commission Rate plus a MRF10 ( Delivery charge )
The delivery charge is very low compare to the standard of service we offer. ( Multiple Restaurant Delivery Service )
We are just able to manage our Expenses, Staff Salaries and all overheads without much profit.
We used to have electric Bills of around MRF1500 Maximum,
But the Last Electric Bill is surprisingly MRF3500 + ( This is too much ) Which is almost 3 times higher to previous electric Bills.( its is said to be a bill generated with the newly revised electric rates )
And in order to Survive and continue with our services, We are trying to find out a solution for this, in order to continue our service.
I wonder how a Small business like us can survive & Grow in a Economy like this. And what opportunities or offers we have ?
I just asked myself, Do they want us to be successful ? or They just don't want Us anymore ?
All I know is, we cannot just blame the government,
Huge companies can find solutions Maybe Like how Japanese CEO's Does.
From last Year , I have been trying to find a way to Organize my Work and Ideas.
The biggest challenge was remembering my ideas and keeping it on a Safe Place.
I tried to do it in different ways , Making business plans for each idea, Note down the points on a organizer, used Task Mangers , Stickies and and even writing down on some of my blog posts and the worst thing, sharing it with intruders who are hungry looking for fresh new invention.
Most of the time it get Used by someone else or it just get spoiled by someone else start-up using half of the concept.
That's the main reason i tried to keep everything in my mind, and started feeling sick trying to organize myself.
Finally I found the best solution from my Trainer called Mind Mapping. ( Using FreeMind)
Within just one month i have been able to create a Mind Map for my Work and few more Mind-Maps for My Projects , which looks cool and more organized.
Now i don't have to Brainstorm like before, trying to remember it....
and my Mind is Free.
This will help me to organize my ideas, Create Good Business, Marketing Plans and Presentations.
The Title itself remind me of Summer Time - by Janis Joplin one of my favorite song introduced by a old good friend of me.
Its always Summer Time over here in Maldives so called the sunny side of life, I am Not here to promote tourism, But its a industry which game me lot of experiences and made me learn what business is and how important loyalty and transparency should be when working.
I wished if my Summer Time and golden days never ended that way. All my hopes and dreams left even without a notice, with black clouds flying all over my head.
There were few Birds, trying to Nest on my head, promising to build a healthy family under my protection , trying to say i am not alone, and trying to show some support, even most of those birds just landed to pass sometime on me. Or maybe just to play around.
What ever it is, and how many bird follow me , i don't really care much about giving a shot anymore.
But there is one Little Bird i really love these days...Called Twitter...which is my Life, This blog, My Work, My profiles are connected to her...she updates my life to the whole World, and i start believing this bird will bring back the Summer Time.
I'll keep writing about my experiences with this Bird...
Do you know... How stupid we are
- There are many ( eco- friendly ) alternate energy solutions invented.
- There are Simple Gadget ideas revealed.
- There are many eco-Friendly Vehicles revealed.
- There are 100s of energy efficient ideas..
and more
Thease are very simple and powerful ideas which can change the world to a better place, with balanced lifestyle and end the poverty.
But do you know they won't let it happen, They won't invest on it. And they won't even support it.
Yes they , they only Talk about it, They only put big Green Logos on ther websites, just to show off and earn the business from us. Because they know We are concerned and they want us to dance with them.
Do you know who they are...
Yes you guessed it right, The Politicians, Huge business companies ( Specially Oil companies and Oil rich Countries )
They really don't care about Us and Our future generations....GREEN is just a show -off
Do you know Search Engines dont like Duplicate content, even though it give Results over Duplicate Content.I would like to explain here why you need your content to get "Highlight" Status . NO matter what you sell Online.
We call it Duplicate Content if there is same Content in two different domains " Almost similar content ". And main reason we all sell almost same products, for Eg; Travel agents they sell same hotels, Electronic Product have same description and we are used to just copy and paste the content.
Lets see why its important try not have Duplicate content. Mostly Search Engine try to give Genuine Results, They work to get the best Available content and when they do it Search Engine Robots somehow identify duplicate content as spam and it might not appear on the search engine result, even if its useful.
We know that search engines Filter its results in three steps, Spidering or Crawling, indexing plus Quert processing. And that's how they Filter duplicate content before those pages are added to there index and results.
Do you know what we can do to rescue our sites being excluded from the Search engine results.And get the best ranks. Just try to revise your content and create some unique changes on your content.
