365 Exciting Ways to Live: Excitement # 107. Time, technology & money connection

Time, technology & money connection

 There are no speed limits on the road to excellence.

Unknown

Time is not everything and money is not everything. But the combination of time and money makes many things! We are judged by our performance and performance has to be a time bound result. Since time is a scarce resource, anything that saves time will be a marketable commodity. If we understand this simple common sense point, we would have understood a universal marketing strategy – convince your client that your product or service will save his time and you will have his order!

If you think for a while why do we need technology, you will realise that technology saves time. That is the difference between an automobile and a bullock cart. A product or service is judged how they enrich the quality of your time and thus your life style. The more a product improves the quality of your life, the more the product is valued. That's why we pay more for an air ticket than a bus ticket!

The other day, I was in a road side car mechanic shed and I was thinking about the mechanics that form the pit crew in a Formula One or Indy Car race.

I have something to share with you on this. Wait…
