Business Lessons From Google Play


If you're a Smartphone user, you probably have been visiting Google Play to download Apps for your mobile device.

Google Play is a digital distribution service operated and developed by Google. It serves as the official App store for the Android operating system, allowing users to browse and download applications developed with the Android software development kit (SDK) and published through Google. Google Play also serves as a digital media store, offering music, magazines, books, movies, and television programs.

My observation over the years is that mobile Apps with high ratings and positive reviews have higher downloads than Apps with negative reviews.

While this is just a common sense observation, few business lessons can be drawn from this:

#1: Positive reviews make businesses strive.

 How do you get positive reviews?
It come from customer satisfaction and exceeding expectations.

#2: Always push for the top spot.
Strive to be among the top rated businesses in your niche.
Because the truth is, the higher your rating, the higher your chances of raking in more profit.

#3: Excellence is a great rewarder.
Taking your time to build an excellent product pays.
If your products and services speak the language of excellence, you are likely to get recommendations from existing customers. So don't sit there thinking all there is to business is making profit. Seek to be the best version of you and you'll be rewarded in due course.

#4: Nobody cares who built what, all they need is what App can solve a particular problem.
You're not in business to make a name. You're in business to solve problems. If your business has the solution people seek, they will come to you whether you're familiar or not, and even beg you to take their money.

#5: Update or perish.
Do you know why developers keep updating their Apps?
They want to ensure their customers have better user experiences. If you're not constantly seeking ways of improving your business, be ready to go under.

#6: Business is all about adding value.
I don't remember ever allowing an App on my device that doesn't serve a useful purpose. If your business doesn't bring any value to the marketplace, you're going to get uninstalled soon.

Have an amazing day!

Why Success Has Nothing To Do With Luck

What you believe has a tremendous impact on how well you can deal with the challenges of life. As a matter of fact, I believe that your belief system is the single most important factor in your success and happiness. In the course of my life, I held onto 4 beliefs that helped me through tough challenges. They helped me turn around my finances, faith, career, and interpersonal relationships. Here they are: 1. EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON AND A PURPOSE TO SERVE ME This is the belief that helped me find the opportunities and the gift even in the face of adversity. 2. WHAT DOESN'T KILL ME MAKES ME STRONGER This is the belief that gets me going when I'm sad or hurt. I've scaled through moments of depression with the help of this belief. 3. I HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR, BUT FEAR ITSELF This is the belief that I repeat to myself every time I want to do something that scares me. This one is extremely liberating once you internalize it. What would you do wit...

Ignite Your Creativity

Your life is like an ongoing work of art. The canvas of your life begins with your family; and your experiences, setbacks, and triumphs play a part in forming who you become. And as long as you live, your life will continue to be a form of artistic creation. Creativity is often narrowly defined by creative works, such as books, paintings, and music. But creativity encompasses so much more than the works we create. Living a creative life also involves the thought, energy, and time we devote to problem-solving and creating the life we’ve been given to live. So stop delineating creativity only along aesthetic lines. Get out of your comfort zone and find solution to problems. Reflect on ways of adding value to human existence. Stop complaining about issues and start innovating. Develop new ideas. Implement new processes. Devise new methods of doing things or making things work. When you get stuck, get out of your work space and go for a walk. Leverage synergy where practicable. Your crea...
