Where did we stop yesterday? we established that we need to plan yesterday right? okay let us continue with:
STEP TWO: PLAN

All business begins from the planning phase before proceeding to the startup phase. When starting a business, you can never bypass the planning phase to the startup phase. My most respected mentor “Robert Kiyosaki” has this to say with respect to building a successful business overnight.

“Most people say the Rich Dad Company is an overnight success and I admit, we are an overnight success but it took us 10 years to get there.” – Robert Kiyosaki

I said earlier that I am a physiotherapist and becoming one is a process that comes with a lot of study and hard work; same goes with building a business, it’s a process. I don’t know how best to stress this point but what I want you to carry along is this: overnight success will not happen; I have gotten firsthand experience of it. Desert the “get rich quick” or “overnight success” scheme and you will save yourself a lot of heartache and migraine. HaHaHa. But that is just the truth. Notice what Tony Martins says: “I started and built a business from scratch. One thing I love about the entrepreneurial process is this; no matter my level of fame and success today, the thought of my early days in life, when I had nothing; will always keep me humble.”

It took Aliko Dangote approximately 30 years to become a billionaire and richest black man in the world. It took John D. Rockefeller 25 years of oil drilling and distribution to become a billionaire. The list is endless, It took approximately 10 years for Bill Gates, Larry Page, Sergey Brin, Jerry Yang and David Filo to become billionaires. Again if it takes Mark Zuckerberg to become the youngest billionaire in the world less than five years then it is not impossible to take you less than one year to be Trillionaire (if such word exists anyway)of our time. So the baseline is PLAN.

Before going into any business, of course I know you will prepare and plan for the best; however do you prepare for the worst too, by putting a contingency plan in place. A contingency plan is always a landing refuge in case you are eventually hit by the worst. It’s the sole reason why I still have the audacity to start new businesses even after I had previous business failures.

Most hunters go hunting poorly equipped, praying they don’t come across very dangerous animals like lion, tiger and the likes . However, an experienced hunter go hunting with the expectation of being confronted by a lion. So which hunter would you desire to be? The business world is just like a forest, you can never know what is ahead of you so it is best you are prepared. infact an adage that I refer to as 5Ps says "proper preparation prevents poor performance"- Anonymous

“In the business world, the rear view is always clearer than the wind shield.” – Warren Buffett.
So planning will include assessment of the resources available to you. Resources like people, money, connections and know-how. Figure out what you have and what you don’t have access to. Again who will be your targeted audience or market, will there be competitors which I bet you they will number thousands (don't be scared was just kidding), and any other outside influence that will affect your ability to reach your vision. All this adds up to a whole bunch of research, engagement and learning.

Let us leave this issue of plan for now and move on to next important step.

STEP THREE: Strategic Thinking and Value Innovation.

It may sound like the second stage but there is a clear cut difference between them...anyway this is not an English class if you are interested in knowing more just go to school (Olamide will say "go to school, lo ka iwe die si") 

Back to strategic thinking, it is a big English right?

Don’t fret, ‘cause it’s really not. However, it is important. But simple too. Learn from these useless antivirus makers (I hope none of them is reading my blog now), they will write codes that will be seen by your computer as a threat, they will still be the one that will write the "anti-codes" for such programs- only to sell their stuffs. Don't get me wrong I am not saying you should be packing mosquitoes into people's apartments and again now selling antimalarial drugs to them ooo. All I am saying is identify societal problems then think on how to proffer solutions to them BUT IN A UNIQUE WAY.

Basically, think big picture — where creativity, insight and wisdom play a huge role.

The cool thing here is you already know where you want to go (Step 1), and you’ve figured out where you are (Step 2). Now you just need to build some ways (strategy) to get from A to B.
You know, like if you’re in Maiduguri and you just escaped being BO***D (where you are now). And your vision is to escape to Lagos (where you want to go) so you can run for your life remembering that you still have the dream of being our next Trillionaire (why you want to go there). Well, from Maiduguri you can trek, take a bike, tricycle, Korope, bus, car or plane to get to Lagos (strategies for getting there). You just need to weigh the options and figure out the best strategy for you.

Now, creating strategy and value innovation for your business is a whole book unto itself. There are many types of process and methodologies behind strategic thinking and planning and I can keep writing the whole Wikipedia of information about it. But in essence, it comes down to this:

You know where you are; you know where you want to go; you now just have to list all the ways to get from point A to point B. Once you’ve done this, you then need to narrow it down to which way (or ways) give you the best option of getting to your destination. Shikena
What’s next? Perhaps the most thorny and time consuming of them all…
Haba, let me rest here till tomorrow when we shall be discussing the fourth process involved for you to be C.E.O of your dream business.
