When success means no barriers

In my last post, I had mentioned about the simple book, which can teach all..Here are a few things which I get to realise, and be able to see the common mistakes people make at their business end.

1.To demean the value of every and any employee, big or small.
2.To focus on only growth or only profit, and if a small enterprise, to only focus on market capturing.
3.To not question the basics questions of survival, our potential, our strengths, our weaknesses and our threats.(just like SWOT analysis)
4.The importance of communication at ALL levels.
5.The ability to not only generate ideas, but the power of execution.(there is a common saying that ideation without execution is dillusion)


There are many other points as well, but they are interlinked to the ones mentioned above. Not that we or our company never faced or focused on many issues mentioned above, but to maintain the focus and on some occasions, the ignorance towards some basic things, did cause a lot of trouble.
The ideology, or the path this book provides, simplifies all such issues...it though only shows us the direction through live examples, there's a lot more that can be explored within the company for better inculcation of the methods this book provides. It all comes to the basic conclusion that if one does not know his/her company well...they cannot succeed beyond a limit.

Its not about mugging up those balance sheets, as the book also says, its about knowing and caring for both the product and the product makers(your employees).
And most of all "the customer and consumer"

I often heard my father say, that power cannot be in the hands of a single person, it has to be distributed wisely amongst those who are capable. But, if you think you can run a "One Man Show", you'll end up being a "One Man Company". Give your eligible employees both the space and time to deal with few things themselves, those things which they are best or good at!
Let them decide, what is best for the company, and hence make them a part of the company..it is more like a family feeling then..
I understand, how much meaning his words have. Not everyone is after money alone, there is also respect, recognition and power, which lure people.

I'm still waiting for the best to come, though this book is on the verge to be finished soon..

Just another Day

I'm reading a new book called "what you ceo wants you to know"
Its only been two chapters and the book already makes you understand the basics of business.

I had few doubts how well I would be able to understand whatever this book is meant to teach. However, when one of the World's best consultant is out there to do something, they do it for the masses..
Its a masterpiece and something which teaches you in a very simple and effortless manner.(thats what it seems)
I guess, it was how Mr.Ram Charan was able to interpret things, the book clearly captures his view point, his focus and his simplicity.

I may not be an MBA or even experienced enough, but what this book is giving me Now, doesn't require any qualification to understand.
Yes, its THAT simple.

As a amateur this book is changing my thought process, I'm able to see and understand the basic common sense of a business and most of all able to understand the depth of various aspects of business.
It also proves the importance of Employees at every level in an organisation. They have a significant role to play, in the time(velocity), growth and cash generation of a business.
Not only is it important to have a direct contact with the employees, but also with the customers and consumers. Another very common thing, which we tend to neglect(consumers&customers), the two different worlds.

The micro aspects are important, but the macro should not be neglected either. Time is the most important thing. Its both instinct and attitude which finally help in setting the right cord.

I hope to complete this book soon to start another one..I am going slow to understand and grasp each and every important thing, this book has to offer.
I dnt want to miss out on anything..just anything!

Really BIG things

I have always been a nature's child and being close to it has always made me feel more energetic and powerful!
However the idea of making business out of this love, has been a new thought. But how it could be executed 'is and was' one big challenge.

The pieces of this puzzle is now falling into its place as I am exploring and getting my mind focused towards the outer world and the things involved.
The first one thing which helped me strike the cord is, Burj Dubai. Its profiling and construction was being shown on television the other day, and one could only awe at the Magnificent Mega Structure.(why can't we own it, damn it!)
Anyways, its for the richest and famous!
But this really really really BIG thing is one of the masterpieces in modern world, and guess what?!...all the apartments are already sold!!

Ofcourse I thought and wished I had enough money to buy one, and be a apart of the rich and elite(just think about the people who'd be living there..they would definitely not be ordinary)
But thats just a dream, for now.
Apart from the way I was thinking about this "city-cum-building", I was also thinkiing about a place more close to nature, all green and fresh and beautiful.
Wouldn't you want a house near a beautiful waterfall, with greenery around and everything fresh and hot served, whenever you want?!!
Wow..think of the comfort and coziness of such a place!!!!

A wooden home in the heart of a green valley or so, with total privacy from outside world(or whatever option you prefer, coz now internet is available anywhere), with good and fresh food and milk, being served directly from the farm. And note, this food will be organic, no chemicals used at all!
There would no problem of water or cleanliness ever in your life, because there would be water waste management and rain water harvesting mechanisms. There would be fuel from gobar gas plants and electricity from solar cells or windmills. However, the trees would be so planted that you would never need to put on the fan. There would be no AC, only coolers, but as I mentioned you wnt need them.
So, fresh Air...and do you know what would be the best thing above all these...
You would be able to see clear sky at night!

Have you ever been in a village? At night you can see so many stars that you would wonder where they hid, when you tried to see them at night. Its as if, the whole sky is covered with them. And try sleeping under this cover of stars..you would have the best sleep of your life!
"taaron ki chaanv me"

I long to sleep that way, the beauty and the coolness both are out of this world.

Building each of such homes, and services would give me the opportunity to realise my dream and be a part of the green-revolution. We today live with almost everything ready-made and unnaturally produced. The side-effects of which are coming out now. Bad health, depression, new forms of diseases, and what not.
Why not be a apart of the Nature, which produced us!
Remember, the Nature will give us, what we give it..
