So many businesses fail because they do not continuously question if there business is going in the right direction. If you aren't happy, if something is failing it is never to late to change the game plan. Strategic thinking and planning is key to business success.

Always trying to grow your business is always a good thing. Growing allows for new ideas and new aspects for your business. New aspects can lead to new successes and new innovations.

One of the key things that was said in this video is to listen to the customer. She created a lotion product, but when she created the store to sell it, not many people wanted to buy it. They wanted to get facials. I think that listening is one of the most important aspects of having a business, but a lot of people don't think that it is important. If business owners just listen to what their customers want, they can be a lot more successful than they already are. It is easier to sell what the people want than something they don't want.

Consumers wants and needs change constantly, it seems as though there is always a new trend to follow or a once popular trend fades and dies out. Businesses have to be in tune with what their customers want and be willing to change in order to survive in the ever changing world we live in.

Starting a business takes work. It also takes guts. The lady in the video says that she was worried and nervous but she went for it. But the thing that took her business to the next level was listening to the customers. I think that is great advice. Although it costs money and resources in the end it was a great move because the profit was much higher.

This is a good video adopting to what others need is giving people what they want. Your product may not start off that way but in the end it is a product to be sold to the costumer for there use.

Listening is key to all businesses. If you want to succeed you must listen to all your clients and employees and take into consideration what they have to say. Changes happen all the time, but it takes hard work and patience for your business to become a well known and thriving business. If a business owner does not take in the feedback that he is receiving and work on it, the business will not be successful anymore.

I agree completely that building a business is not for the faint of heart and that without resilience failure will be the result. It is great that she made a successful company, even though she had to endure the hives from a competitor’s product before getting the idea. I feel that a lot of companies start from this same type of deal. I know personally there is a few times where I have bought a product or service and thought to myself “I could definitely do that better” or “I could do the same job for cheaper.” I feel like a lot of companies, especially restaurants, start from the mindset of a unsatisfied customer that they could do it better.

business is evolutionary and is constantly changing. Fifty years ago a type writer was the major form of handwritten communication but in today's time there is mass media and mass text where ever body can be text all at once via email and text messages. So as we seeing times is constantly changing and to be successful in business a business has to be flexible to adapt with change.

Adaptability is important in businesses today. This video demonstrates how customers should always be your bottom line, not money or personal gain. It's vital to hear through your customers' ears and see through their eyes.

Resilience is a very good quality to have when you open your own business or company. Every success story that you hear is plagued by troubles they had in the beginning. By continuing to push, these people eventually became successful. Life is full of challenges, in a professional world and in our private lives. Being able to adapt quickly and flexibility are extremely beneficial in today's fast-paced world. This also ties in with one of the previous videos about really listening to what customers want.
