Speaker

Wow, we actually had a professional blogger in our class!
I really enjoyed listening to her, the most interesting part was to find out how she motivated herself to take jobs and write about stuff that is just not interesting at all and maybe has totally no audience at all.
Since I am also "forced" ;) by a company to talk in a blog every week, it was inspiring listening to her.

But still, I am just not a blogger-person.

Stats

Here we go, now comes the most interesting stuff, measure your efforts with stats!
My stats are:

Return on Investmen

Let's talk about something more useful, about how we measure our business!

Wikipedia tells us:"Return on investment is one way of considering profits in relation to capital invested".


The ROI is defined as  Profits / total capital employed.
So the ROI provides a rate of how investments bear interest.


For example, if a person needs $2000 to build a computer and sell it for 3000$, and he just wants to do this one computer, the ROI would be: ($3000 (revenue) - $2000 (cost) ) / $2000(cost) = 0.5 = 50%.




How cool is that?
Do you want to know more? Make a comment, I had lots of classes about using and interpreting this and other values ;)
