Hotelling's law : same type of shops cluster together why?

http://weakonomics.com/2009/11/13/why-do-competing-stores-open-up-next-to-each-other/

http://www.planetizen.com/node/65765

f a retailer opens a new location away from the current clustering, there are two potential results:

1. It will fail to capture enough consumers and eventually close.

2. It will become successful causing competitive stores to locate nearby.

Either way, clustering remains the norm.

Hotelling model of spatial competiontion

three theoris
https://theamericangenius.com/business-news/three-theories-prove-why-competitors-open-stores-next-to-each-other/

Hotelling's law is an observation in economics that in many markets it is rational for producers to make their products as similar as possible. This is also referred to as the principle of minimum differentiation as well as Hotelling's linear city model. The observation was made by Harold Hotelling (1895–1973) in the article "Stability in Competition" in Economic Journal in 1929.[1]

examples of doing great things after 40

it was between the ages of 48 and 49 that Sanders finalized his now-famous “Original Recipe” for KFC with 11 herbs and spices. At the age of 65 in 1955, Sanders traveled the U.S., visiting from restaurant to restaurant, knocking from door to door, and cooking batches of chicken for the restaurant owners to convince them to franchise his chicken.

Embrace these beliefs instead:
“It’s never too late to pursue anything. What’s more important is that I take action now.”
“Age is just a number. My current age is just a reflection of the number of years I’ve been alive, but not a reflection of my unlimited power as a being.”

Suzanne Collins, who was 46 when she published The Hunger Games, which would receive critically acclaim and subsequently pave the way for a trilogy as well as now-famous film adaptation starring Jennifer Lawrence.
Leonardo da Vinci, who was 51 when he painted the Mona Lisa.

success loves speed

create prod
http://www.success.com/blog/do-things-faster-and-6-other-ways-to-double-your-productivity-income-and-sex-appeal
If your job is to mop floors, your job isn't to mop the floors. Your job is to find a creative way to get the floors mopped by someone else so you can implement some new thing you came up with to make—or save—your employer more money.

Read the book Titan. John D. Rockefeller had thousands of employees. Everyone's job—their number one priority—was to find someone else to do their job for them. Brilliant.

But creating is painful. It requires thinking, which of course no one wants to do. It also requires placing yourself in a mental position of uncertainty. And this we fear more than death itself. This is why everyone prefers to pretend to work with phones and emails than actually do productive work.

Dedicate as small a chunk of your day as possible to returning calls and emails, and put it in on the map. Resist the urge to deviate from the map.

speed as a habit
http://firstround.com/review/speed-as-a-habit/
Eric made sure that decisions were made on a specific timeframe — a realistic one — but a firm one. He made this a habit for himself and it made a world of difference for Google.

We’re deeply driven by the belief that fast decisions are far better than slow ones and radically better than no decisions.

It's important to internalize how irreversible, fatal or non-fatal a decision may be. Very few can't be undone.

peed doesn’t require one leader to make all the calls top-down. The art of good decision making requires that you gather input and perspective from your team, and then push toward a final decision in a way that makes it clear that all voices were heard.

We intuitively want the team to come to the right decision on their own. But I’ve found that people are enormously relieved when they hear that you’re grabbing the baton and accepting responsibility for a decision. Using the “CEO prerogative” — to make the final call

Too many people believe that speed is the enemy of quality. To an extent they’re right — you can’t force innovation and sometimes genius needs time and freedom to bloom. But in my experience, that’s the rare case. There’s not always a stark tradeoff between something done fast and done well.

http://jsomers.net/blog/speed-matters

It is a truism, too, in workplaces, that faster employees get assigned more work. Of course they do. Humans are lazy. They want to preserve calories. And it’s exhausting merely thinking about giving work to someone slow.

Passive income ideas

Passive income great article
http://www.thesmarterdollar.com/passive-income/

To handle the sales process, delivery, and payment, you can either sign up with a service like Gumroad, or implement it all on your own website. The Gumroad route is probably much easier, and they also handle all the EU VAT for you, which is a major headache for publishers from all countries selling eBooks in the EU.
http://passively.io/12-passive-income-ideas/

You can either self-host your course on your own website, which means you have to setup your own course delivery and payment system, or you could host it on a site like Udemy. Udemy is the world’s biggest online learning marketplace, with over 10 million students taking courses in everything from programming to yoga to photography.

The advantage of using a platform like Udemy, is not just that all the technical issues are taken care of for you, but also that it’s a marketplace where people go to look for courses like yours. You will get customers that you wouldn’t otherwise have got, simply by being on Udemy. And if your course is good, and does well, then Udemy will promote it for you.


Dropshipping store

type: time investment
doability: 2/10
resource: See above Ecommerce links, plus read this guide.

Dropshipping is a form of Ecommerce, where you sell products that you don’t even keep in stock. In fact, you never even have to touch the products. Or make them. Or pack the boxes. Or ship to the customer. Or handle returns.

Here’s how it works:

    You decide what you want to sell (let’s do green tea)
    You find a supplier that will dropship green tea from their warehouse, etc
    You find buyers (usually through your online store).
    A customer places an order for your tea.
    Your supplier receives the order and processes it.
    You get paid.


P2P Real estate

type: monetary investment
doability: 8/10
resource: RealtyShares and GroundFloor

If you didn’t read the “Peer to Peer lending” strategy above…this is basically just crowd sourced real estate investing.

To learn more about RealtyShares, go look around on their website.

Groundfloor works like this:

    You open an account for free
    You transfer money to your GroundFloor account
    You pick a real estate project to invest in
    You get your money back in 3-12 months, depending on the project.

Online courses

type: time investment
doability: 9/10
resource: I made an entire guide on this. Udemy. Teachable.

Online courses are the future of education, and have been increasingly popular over the past 2-3 years. My friend Bryan made over $900k in 2015, from 2 launch OF THE SAME COURSE.

Vending Machines

type: monetary investment
doability: 4/10
resource: Read this! Then this.

As long as there have been candy-craving people, there have been vending machines. It’s an old-school passive income source. In fact, it’s SO old-school…that making some cash through vending machines is probably 10x easier than it was 10-20 years ago.

Also it’s worth remembering that people really don’t know how much things are worth, what’s a fair price (which is the reason TV-shows like “The Price is Right” can actually exist).

how much to save per month

how much to save per month
++
https://www.tiaa.org/public/offer/insights/starting-out/how-much-of-my-income-should-i-save-every-month

retirement
10 percent given by most employer so another 15 ^ = 25%
Emergency fund: 6 months to 1 year= 6 lac to 12 lac BDT

another 25% for home,education,wedding,car,big buys,medical

So total savigs should be 50%-10%=40%

50/30/20 rule
at least 20% of your income should go towards savings. More is fine; less is not advised.
another 50% (maximum) should go towards necessities, while 30% goes towards discretionary items.


http://lifehacker.com/the-20-question-how-much-of-my-pay-should-i-really-sa-1443199935
According to the 50/20/30 rule, your monthly budget should be divided into three distinct categories of expenses: 50% should be reserved for essentials (think housing and food), 30% should be allocated for lifestyle choices (things like nights out and 121 channels of cable), and at least 20% should go toward what we call “financial priorities,” which include debt payments, retirement contributions and, of course, savings.

15 k housing, cut food to half so save 15 k, so total saving 30 K.
elec bill another 4k.transprot another 3k.

or else you nee another 50 k income.

pricing techniques and book review: predictably irrational

http://conversionxl.com/pricing-experiments-you-might-not-know-but-can-learn-from/

Predictably Irrational By Dan Ariely

some suggestions provided in the book about pricing and other aspects

just remind about ethics before temptation
less dishonest with cash
if given leeway, people will cheat not full
with direct money freedom option people dont do dishonesty completely same as little leeway. Howeve if nonmonetary gains coudl be obtained, violation would be mcuh higher.

decoy effect we compare easily comparable and take that better one. We do not know the price or what we want.

Save 7 usd from a pen and saving the same from 500 usd suuit

once imprinted it works as price guide.

create new category like starbuck otherwise you could not compete.

Make harder or put a price tag higher, people will covet it.

remembering past price, so price to be increased step by step, not drastically.

we are not rational so regulatory body should be in place.

Most transaction has upsdie and downside.When free we forget downside.

free or zero is a separate category. one cent and zero is not the same.so it is oood to introduce fee in govt hospital or dorm.

loos adn profit are different. When you are at loss you could do many waste. But when you are to make profit it is totally different strategy.

Market norms and social norms.small gift comes in the social world.
if gift mentioned with price it lost the market value.When social norm goes off, it is hard to get it back.

no mix up of social and market norm.
if not free govt ,ay offer study loan

Health is to be free, make it preventive to reduce cost throgh law and free service.Atleast some of them like eye and dental.

Money is the most expensive way to motivate.

http://burningman.org/

visible gift or privilege rather than just money.

Thoreau wrote, "Simplify! Simplify!" And, indeed,
simplification is one mark of real genius.

Natures ability to instantly attach to what we have

trial promotion ownership, money back guarantee

tell bad and people tell so

expectation influences. So better not to tell lower things upfront, tell at the last stage.
