I don't want to put you off becoming a pro, but there are a few things you should ask yourself. Firstly is it worth it? Can you push yourself to the extreme and still be courteous to customers who are having a bad day while you are having one you

According to USFDA, a combination product is one composed of any combination of a drug and device; biological product and device; drug and biological product

As combination products don't fit into the traditional categories of drugs, medical devices, or biological products, the USFDA is in the process of devel

it for nothing.

Base cost is the cost of equipment wear and tear, travel, and time. The easiest way to work out base cost is to add up the price you paid for your equipment times that by three, divide by twelve then divide again by four.

In a newspaper report by The Straits Times (attached below), it was reported that ComfortDelGro has submitted a position paper to the Ministry of Transport, giving their two-cent worth on how the public transport industry should be structured. Two specific suggestions are given: to merge with rival SMRT to create one big giant transport company, or to have two separate companies with different areas of expertise – one running buses while another operating trains. (Note: It should be quite obvious that SBS Transit will be the natural bus company and SMRT will be the train company).

Many business owners mistakenly believe that they have to learn and know every possible nuance about business to be successful. From accounting to taxes to incorporating, many business owners needlessly try to do it all.

A light-hearted look at whether all the focus today on branding is overlooking the other marketing tools you should be considering.
