PART THREE
Sincerely I want to start by apologizing for being unable to bring this part three of the secret of being a C.E.O of your company yesterday as promised. This is however due to some activities that i engaged myself with yesterday. Any inconveniences caused deeply regretted.Most of the questions that were asked yesterday were replied earlier today, with the exception of the one I received less than an hour ago; this I will just answer together with this part three so that others can benefit from it.
Question from Mr A.D
"SIr, thank you for your tutorial so far, however you said "...overnight success will not happen " what about those online businesses that promise immediate revenue once you pay some certain amount into their bank accounts"
Answer to Mr. A.D question
Dear Mr A.D I quite appreciate your honest and sincere compliment, however in connection with the question, while I will not say what they are saying is untruth, but in reality from my little experience I have gathered so far with online businesses, the chances are very slim. Nonetheless I need to inform you that if you want to do online business, YOU MUST SELL SOMETHING. While this blog is not solely for online business, the principles therein can be applied for both offline and online businesses.
That will be all that I can take about the questions for today. Let us move to our main lesson for today.
So far we have talked about three steps namely: having the idea of what you want to do, then planning and finally, strategizing how the plans can be EXECUTED. That is the point; execution which is the next and most important step involved in setting up a business
Step 4: Execution: Execute without delay
The enemy of anyone that is trying to be a successful entrepreneur is procrastination. There are many ideas that I had in the past that I just allowed it lingered till I saw it executed by others especially people that I discussed the idea with. Then I started to say "he stole my idea" whereas I was not man enough to execute them. Again this is what separates the men from the boys 'as in' the ladies from the little girls.
You have to get up out of your chair; or crawl off the sofa; or jump up from the bench, and get into the game.
“The critical ingredient is getting off your butt and doing something. It’s as simple as that. A lot of people have ideas — but there are few who decide to do something about them now. Not tomorrow. Not next week. But today. The true entrepreneur is a doer — not a dreamer.”
- Nolan Bushnell, founder of Atari and Chuck E. Cheese’s.
The bottom line? You can forget a forever burly company if you can’t implement the strategies you’ve outlined above.
Sorry to say; all your beautiful ideas don't matter: to the contrary, making them a reality is the paramount and you can make them happen.
A person that have an idea, plan and strategize but fail to execute is like a student who had sleepless nights preparing for an exams and then when the exams comes, decided to sleep and fails to write out the answers to the questions simply because he believes he still has a lot of hours ahead of him to finish the paper. HOW SAD HE WILL BE WHEN HE FINDS OUT HIS FRIENDS THAT HE TAUGHT BEFORE EXAMS PASSED THE PAPER AND HE DID NOT.
The cool thing though? Once you have gone through the first 3 steps, execution is easier because you know what important tactics you must work on.
Again, avoid trying to do too many things at once but try to understand thinks you need to be working on at a time. You know — the high-value stuff? The daily tasks — as outlined in your strategy — which really bring you closer to your vision.
If you have clarity on your vision and purpose, and fully understand where you are now (assessment), and go through the strategic thinking process on how to best reach your vision, then you’ll know what steps to execute.
And always remember this:
Execution of a grand vision and purpose comes in taking the little steps.
Cast your mind back to Part Three where I used the illustration of someone travelling from Maiduguri down to lagos. Now imagine that the person is actually going to settle down at his hometown in Ikirun, evidently there is no straight bus from Maiduguri to Ikirun. This means that the person will take another bus down to Ikirun. What if the person is stiff-necked searching straight bus from Maiduguri to Ikirun, what will happen? You and I know the completion of the story.
Hence you don’t just land on the moon just because you want to have an accomplished vision. Learn from JFK and NASA. It took them 10 years to get it done — after the vision. Successful execution comes by completing the small, connected steps along the way -Algorithms . Am I making sense at all?
So there you have it. Four incredibly simple, but far from easy, steps you can take to build a forever strong company from scratch.
Each step is critical, and each step works best when done in order. And the good news? You can start this today, I mean tonight. Doesn’t matter where you are as an entrepreneur. Even if your company is several years old, you can still go through this process. Just review your plans, re-strategize to accomplish your visions then execute them bit-by-bit.
By now I know you are planning to execute your strategized plan, but then there are still some additional information you will need while setting up a business. This makes yours more professional. Hence I will reveal to you in detail what this involves FREE OF CHARGE in my next issue of C.E.O of my business.
WATCH OUT!!!
