Flourishing Stay cation business at subdivision we developed.

Every generation needs a revolution - an entrepreneurial revolution

Reposted from Senior Rides





This post met the owner of Villa Sophia in Montevideo.  He is a doctor from a well known hospital in MM.  He is an GI specialist, specializing in proctology.   We found out we had many things in common:  he too was/is an educator, and a strict one at that;   he wants to serve, is very passionate in very little details.  He is from Calapan and we have common acquaintances.

Villa Sophia is a famous staycation place overlooking Laguna Lake.   Many swear by nice view, bay breeze and excellent amenities at the resort. 

The good doctor wants to have a parking lot, and a venue place and wants to purchase the adjoining lot which happened to be ours.    But the children do not want to sell precisely because of the nice view. 

He invited me to stay at his place to refer this to friends, and blog about it.

Wont you visit Villa Sophia?

Keeping steadfast to corporate vision and mission - how to run a business

Every generation needs a revolution - an entrepreneurial revolution

My late father was a lawyer.  But he advised us when we were in business not to let lawyers run the business.   In contracts, the businessman decides what he wants to agree on and directs the lawyer to draft the contract legalese.  Therefore, avoid suing and going to courts.

The business must concentrate on providing value to the customers ie removing pain, and providing gain.  Building the system, the processes, the inputs and ensuring customer satisfaction and experience.

Therefore do not be the first to sue, try to settle the issue without the courts or the lawyers, because you expend resources, energy and the passion in the court case. And distracts you from the main vision and mission of the company.  We experienced having a partnership with a party who did nothing but sue us.
Now that we dont have inventories, we heard that she is impoverished.    Talk about Karma.

Some companies just do that:  continuous lawsuits, motions etc to run the business.  Some high tech companies even the top 20 in the world have been known to spend so much on patent infringement, and endless conflict on competitors.  We have not heard of any innovation from the company as it was doing before   May be too much attention on suing.  

Is it a good business practice to sue?

AI has fueled its bull run.   But there are competition is lurking around.  Intel, and Amd for cheaper chips.

Its focused on gaming and AI technology.  Its fabless to focus on design and system.   It subs its fab design probably to TSMC)

It was a challenging journey.   They had a time when they would not be able to meet its payroll.
