There are many legitimate reasons to sell a good businessAs a business broker in Thailand, or anywhere for that matter, the first question we are often asked after presenting a business for sale is: “If this business is so great, why would the owner be selling it?” It’s a good question; so let’s explore why someone would sell a good, healthy, and profitable business.Obviously we have all seen less-than-desirable businesses for sale or businesses that aren’t making enough income for the owners. But there are also many businesses up for sale for reasons completely unlinked to profitability, growth, potential, and overall business health. Business transfer industry statistics have proven, time and time again, that the number one reason a business owner is selling a business is boredom or the loss of the original excitement and challenge in their business.Remember that most business owners, especially those who started their business from scratch, are born entrepreneurs. This means that they love the challenge and excitement of a new venture and strive to make the business reach a certain level of success. Often, when this business reaches that level, the business only requires minor management to keep it going successfully, and the challenge and excitement are no longer there for the owner; thus that original luster that inspired the owner is lost. They become bored and begin to look for new challenges.This is a great situation for you, the business buyer, to walk into as you are getting a business that has been built to a level where it’s successful. Now you can come in and take over the helm, allowing the seller the freedom to go out and find that new venture. It’s a win-win situation.Many of us, including sellers of good businesses, have families and other influences in our lives that pull us in different directions. Sometimes the health of the seller, a death of a family member, a divorce, or the birth of a new child can also be a catalyst for a business owner to make the decision to sell. This again can create a win-win situation that allows you as the buyer to get into your dream business, while allowing the seller the freedom needed to attend to other parts of their lives that are often times more important than their business.Currently, we are all facing a global economic recession which has also changed many aspects of our lives. Being that a business can often be one of the most valuable assets in a business owner’s life, a need for cash can also prompt him to make the move from owner to seller. This can happen for many reason and means that a buyer can often get a good business on great terms. In times like these, liquid cash is highly valuable. Savvy buyers know this and should be able to use the opportunity to strike a good deal on a great business that may have not been possible before.We must all remember that everyone has different needs and motivations. As Bangkok-based business brokers, we strive to offer the most desirable businesses to our buyers by only representing businesses we would consider buying ourselves. We realize that most buyers are looking to supplement or increase their income, equity, and net worth through the acquisition of these profitable businesses; and it shows in our Thailand business-listing inventory.

Sometimes we all need a little lift. Whether you’ve had a recent knock to your confidence, have been going through stress in your personal or professional life, or have always struggled with your self-esteem, music is an essential tool for lifting your spirits and making you feel better about yourself.

According to a study by Heriot-Watt University, the type of music you listen to not only influences your mood, but also your personality, with indie and rock/heavy metal fans reporting the lowest levels of self-esteem, while fans of jazz, blues, opera, classical, pop, rap and soul all reported high levels of self-confidence.

So if you’re having a ‘down day’, why not boost your spirits by listening to some powerful, uplifting tracks? Here are five perfect confidence boosters.

Britney Spears – Toxic
Britney’s own struggles with her mental health and conservatorship have made her an inspiration for many people across the world.

This classic song is timelessly sensual, and the heavy beats throughout make it impossible not to dance to. A welcome blast of nostalgia, this tune has filled dance floors across the globe with fans old and new.

The video features Britney as a female spy playing the sexy flight attendant, seducing her passenger before she makes her escape on a motorbike and breaks into a high-security facility guarded by a laser security system.

This track and video is a guaranteed way to feel invincible, and deserves a place on your playlist no matter your mood.

Kelis – Milkshake
A cheesy classic that is guaranteed to make you feel all warm and gooey inside, Kelis pumps up the heat in this 00’s RnB track. Underpinned by intricate drum beats and electric elements, Kelis’ self-confidence is infectious, and it’s hard not to find yourself smiling at the lyrics.

This track is a great way to get into a flirtatious mindset, making it a great choice before going on a date or heading out for the evening.

And if you’re staying in? It’s a great mood lift. But beware! You may find yourself craving a sweet treat.

Eve (ft. Gwen Stefani) – Let Me Blow Your Mind
This RnB classic will capture your attention with its assertive rhythm and powerful vocals from 00’s icons Eve and Gwen Stefani. Featuring a laid-back – yet self-assured – beat, and catchy guitar riff, this is a great track for driving, and its empowering feel is sure to help you feel motivated.

Got a job interview lined up, or thinking of asking for a raise? This anthemic number is a quick way to feel positive and more assertive.

The video features Eve and Gwen Stefani crashing an exclusive event on quad bikes, causing a stir among the privileged attendants, and shoving the performer off stage to perform their own music, before finally being arrested and taken to the station in a police van.

This ‘baddie’ track helps you to tap into the hidden ‘bold’ side of your personality, and lifts your mood while keeping you feeling calm and cool.

Fergie – MILF$
If you have kids, it can be difficult to feel sexy. When you’re running around cleaning the house, changing nappies, or up to your elbows in dishwater, you can easily forget your sensual side – leaving you feeling frumpy and lacking in confidence and motivation.

Thankfully, Fergie’s comeback track is a quick remedy to your low mood and lethargy.

Featuring attractive mothers dressed in curve-hugging latex and silky lingerie going about their daily life in a dreamy, colourful suburbia, this track is a quick way to transform your self-esteem and transport you to a world where you are not just a mother, but a goddess too.

Why not shake off the day and tap into your feminine energy with Fergie, your sexiest PJs, and a bottle of your favourite wine?

Marina And The Diamonds – How To Be A Heartbreaker
Low confidence after a breakup? You’re not alone. Having your heart broken can leave you feeling depressed, undesirable, and unmotivated. So flip the tables on your ex and become a heartbreaker with Marina’s catchy club classic.

This empowering dance track will make you want to move your body and get in touch with your bad girl side, with its heavy beat and pounding rhythms.
