THE BULETTIN OF LNGO “ABKHAZINTERCONT”, #13(18), February, 2008 PG 3+ Ttips for the business beginners Psychological consultations ENTREPRENEURSHIP WHEN THE CHILD IS CAPRICIOUS Improvement of the personal welfare is a natural requirement.

Some people does it by increasing his/her professional skills and selling it (or in other words getting salaries), some people are entrepreneurs.
It needs the special talent or in other words, it needs ability to mobilize different resources (ideas, finances, materials and people) and connect them effectively to create new production or service, the cost of which is higher then the expenses for producing it.

The “talent of entrepreneur “is the most important resource for any country, as it stipulates the political and economical pow- er of the country.
The power of the country or in another words its ability to provide the public safety, social safety of the population, defense of the borders and territorial integrity of the country, is determined by the prosperity created by the population.

The part of this prosperity as taxes accumulates by the governmental institutions is used to solve the above-mentioned problems.

Each of us creates the prosperity by paying the taxes.
The private persons are paying the income taxes (12 %), and the entrepreneurs who are creating the major part of the prosperity are paying different kinds of taxes.

If the taxes are too high, the entrepre- neurship becomes unprofitable, and the prosperity of the country is not increasing.

In this case, many businesspersons prefer to move its activity in other countries, where the taxation system is more liberal.
However, if the taxes are too low the govern- ment does not have enough finances to implement its main functions.

In any case, weather the taxes are high or low, everybody is obliged to pay the taxes according the law, if we have the desire to live in the rich and powerful country.

Due to the Georgian legislation, entrepreneurship needs state registration.

Not regis- tered business will not pay the government taxes and will create a danger to the providers and the customers.
The entrepreneurship functioning without hiring the workers is registered as individ- ual entrepreneurship, but if it is functioning with the help of the hired workers should be registered as enterprise.

The enterprise should be established and registered as one of the following form.

• • • • • • individual enterprise limited liability (Ltd.) Solidary liability Comanditive society Joint-stock company Cooperative Individual enterprise is an enterprise of one person (or family).
This kind of entrepre- neurs can hire the workers also but the owner is the only responsible on the financial sustainability of the enterprise.

The examples of the individual entrepreneurship are trade (small shop), every day repairs and other services, small-scale transportations of cargo or passengers (taxi) and others.

The citizens are free in chosen their business activities; however, it is important to be profitable for you as well as for the country.
We wish you to orientate correctly in determining your future business activities!

There are several age crisis during the child development period.

One of the most important among them is the cri- sis at the age of 3.

During this crisis the child behavior changes to the worth.

There are following changes in the child’s behavior: 1.

Child becomes obstinacy, refuses everything he liked before.

2.

On every question or request child answers “no”, “I do not want”, “I will not do”.

3.
3.

He becomes egoist, it is impossi- ble to rule him, wants to do every- thing himself.

4.

At this age child expects recogni- tion of his independence from the family members and has ambitious to respect his opinion.

It is difficult for him to understand “in future”, he wants everything immediately.

5.

The crisis of the age of three is very important stage in the psychological de- velopment of the child.
If you notice these sharp changes in his behavior, try to choose the right form of the rela- tionship with him: • Be more pliable with him.

• Expand child’s rights and obliga- tions.

• Do not be angry with him in case of refuse.

At this time the role-play is very help- ful and effective, which becomes the leading form of the behavior in the age of three.
For example if the child re- fuses to eat (though he is hungry), you can act this way: put the doll at the table with the child and say that the doll is a guest and asks weather the soup is hot or cold.

The child sits down at the table and starts eating.

• To overcome the crisis of the age of three, it is important for the child to feel that the family members consider him not as a child but as a friend of the same age.
