8. The ultimate resolution to all headaches  Profit  PROFIT!!!!!  Revenue vs. Profit  Revenue is the total amount of money a business takes in during a given period of time  Profit is the total amount of money a business earns after factoring in various expenses and paying salaries  So… Revenue – Expenses = Profit

9. Where do profits come from?  Stakeholders of course!  Stakeholders are all the people who stand to gain or lose by the products, practices, and policies of a business  TPS: Who do you think these people/groups might be?

10. Everyone wants a piece of your business pie!

11. All right, let’s breathe… Switching gears a bit here  Two hunters are out in the woods when one of them collapses. He doesn't seem to be breathing and his eyes are glazed. The other guy whips out his phone and calls the emergency services. He gasps, "My friend is dead! What can I do?" The operator says "Calm down. I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead." There is a silence, then a gun shot is heard. Back on the phone, the guy says "OK, now what?"

17. A look into servicing and manufacturing sectors  Agriculture: As machines increase productivity and improves efficiency, less labourers are needed  This allows labourers to enter manufacturing jobs  As factories gain new technology, once again, less labourers are required  Labourers can now enter service jobs

18. Service jobs/industries  While manufacturing industries create tangible goods, servicing industries are intangible products  Ex: telecommunications, insurance, recreation, health care, education, etc.  Thought experiment

19. Questions  Think of a service or good that would appeal to the growing number of seniors (You may invent one). Would you be interested in trying to develop it?
