Lessons From my Brother: Importance of Market Research and Customer Satisfaction Survey

I have no idea how to run a business but I look after my brother as he really has the skills to turn any business into a success. He first started with a small cell phone store with my sister and after only a few years, their business has expanded already and they now have other products like laptops and digital cameras. He also opened his first Lotto outlet, he has a buy-and-sell business and he never stops taking risk and investing on new business venture.

But aside from being courageous and dedicated to his business, one of his secret is online market research. He mentioned that it is not just important that you have the guts to take business risk. Before embarking on a business, my brother said that it is important to study prediction markets to better gauge if the business will succeed or not. Having this knowledge at hand can help any business make informed decision that will determine the success of the company.

Business should not stop pleasing their customers as soon as business has started and revenues start to come in. It is also important that businesses conduct customer satisfaction survey to get feedbacks from customers on how to improve their service and remedy any problem.

My brother is really the guru when it comes to business and I am glad I learned these important lessons from him. Who knows someday, I can follow his footsteps and start my own business too.

Happily Ever After

Every girl has their own dream wedding. Like me, I always picture my wedding at the beach where everyone is wearing white except for my groom and I. Everyone should be barefooted and there should be lanterns, candles and butterflies surrounding the venue. There should be a touch of magical fairy tale because as corny as this may sound, I always believe in happily ever after.

Anyway, talking about a girl’s dream wedding, one of the most important details of this special event is the bridal gown. It’s part of our dream since this is just a once in a lifetime experience. Likewise, the bride always wants her parents, especially her mother to be as stunning as her. As what we can observe, the bride’s parents are the most emotional when it comes to wedding.

It’s actually a good thing that we have available sources now for high quality designer gowns for the bride, parents and even for the entourage. Gray & Osbourn is one of the most visited online wedding shops because of its widest collection of gowns that are very appropriate for weddings.

Mother of the bride outfits from Gray & Osbourn are ideal complements to that wonderful wedding day your daughter has always dreamed about. They have high quality dresses that will best suit your taste and you can choose from the entire collection, depending on the theme or motif of the wedding.

Well, I really pray that my dream wedding will happen in the future. It will be the happiest day of my life if the man of my dreams will be able to share this wonderful moment of my life as I walk on the beach and waiting for the words “I do”.

Day 10 - My Truest Friends

For day 10 of the photo challenge, I will need to post a picture of the person I do the most messed up things with.

At first, I can’t think of any picture or idea of what to post for this topic but then I suddenly realized that I was with my dearest friends when I messed up with things way back then.

I’ve done so many stupid things before and my friends witnessed most of it. In fact, we also do strange things together and a lot of times we do mean things but not to the extent that we are hurting or putting someone in danger. But despite all of that, my friends really stick with me and they never left me. They accept me, support me and respect me not just as their friend but also as a person.

These people are one of my most treasured ones. We’ve been friends for a very long time and until now, we are keeping our friendship stronger and happier.

Day 09 - Greatest Gift

For day 9 of photo challenge, I was asked to post a picture of the person who has gotten me through the most.

I think, the person who has gotten me through the most is my boyfriend. We’ve been a couple for almost 3 years already and he’s the one who never failed to leave me for the past years. He’s always by my side whatever decision I do and he’s very much willing to support me.

For almost everyday of my life, I’m spending my time with him and with each single day, everything is memorable. Though sometimes we are having some misunderstandings, we still manage to keep our relationship strong by holding on to the thought of how much we love each other.

I know it’s too early to say that I can no longer imagine my life without him but that’s exactly what I’m feeling right now. I love him so much and I’m praying that he’ll be with me for the rest of my life.

Day 08 - My Super Cute Niece

For day 8 of the photo challenge, I will need to post a snapshot of something that makes me laugh.

This is my 1-year-old niece Beatriz Dominique. Every time I see this picture I can’t help but laugh because of her cute face and smile. Whenever I’m stressed out and a bit tired, I’ll look at this picture because it somehow relaxes me.

She just turned 1 last October 2, 2011 and she’s really growing up as a sweet kid and very charming. She loves the camera and every time you’ll ask her to smile, she will portray that smile and strike a pose in front of the camera. She’s not shy at all that’s why the camera loves her as well.

One more thing that I really love about my niece is whenever she sees me; she’ll kiss and smile at me and then I will always hug her tight.
