Chapter 5: Traditional Planning vs. New Age Ideas

Synopsis

Traditional business planning involves getting the market research properly before anything else is done. Problem is how do you research new?

By definition, innovation, the foundation of the entrepreneur’s actions, is something that doesn’t currently exist. What was the desktop computer market’s size when Bill Gates made a decision to put one on each desk? He saw what didn’t exist that is why it’s impossible to investigate and document. In addition, entrepreneurial opportunities usually emerge in markets of great change and turbulence making it almost impossible for things to remain still long enough to be investigated.

Entrepreneurs get their best market research from starting in a semitest approach and adjusting to the market as it reacts to their new endeavor’s offer.

New Ideas

The traditional business plan also asks you to sit down as well as plan out the next three to five years and explain carefully the developing series of events. Those who have actually started several new ventures know that you’re flat out getting the first three to five months properly, let alone the next three to five years.

Experienced entrepreneurs understand that there are just a lot of variables in resources, product development, market acceptances and the entrepreneur themselves to predict comprehensively and meaningfully the traditional three to five years business plan's outlook. Experienced entrepreneurs will trust more in their capability to adjust to the changing environment instead of implementing the comprehensive instructions of a prepared plan basically made in ignorance.

Besides, opportunities won’t wait. It’s going to take you around three to six months to create a traditional business plan. Now, if your opportunity is ready to wait around for you, then good, but more than likely, that opportunity you’re researching has already been taken advantage of by another entrepreneur who realized that timing was everything. They know that the window of opportunity is extremely fleeting and without the pro-active and timely action, it’s lost forever.

If you’re a serious candidate for launching a new business enterprise and not only a dreamer, then in some way you already have a business launch that’s in play with your trial offers to in-house consumers and your prototypes. The majority of entrepreneurial text books agree that more than 70 percent of successful entrepreneurial ventures are started by present domain experts who’ve directly experienced a particular problem for which they’ve come up with an excellent solution.

They don’t rely on the traditional plan that much as they are more than likely to employ their insider knowledge, strategic alliances and experience to firstly assess the opportunity and take it to market through their extremely accessible distribution channels.

There’s also very little flexibility in traditional business plans. It’s introduced as a one-size-fits-all when obviously, it doesn’t.

Traditional planning is a corporate tool basically made under a risk avoidance mindset, which is the opposite of what an entrepreneur’s viewpoint in the planning process is. The latter’s outlook is from a risk management one.

The simplicity of business entry through the internet has made the price of being mistaken of little consequence. Through online marketing, business websites and other new age ideas, services and products can be tested and tried before any major commitment of resources. This permits entrepreneurs to modify their business model to meet market demands and needs.

A lot of new business enterprise hopefuls focus on making the perfect business plan wherein they should be focusing on making the perfect cash flow. There are far more credible methods that they could adopt such as a website gathering email addresses of customers interested in your products or services, customer testimonials and lists and prototypes already within the market under limited release.

It’s also very possible that the planning process is in fact counterproductive for the entrepreneur as it can create a paralysis from too much investigation. What is needed and what most thriving entrepreneurs provide is action - making what they want happen.

Now, smart entrepreneurs, while agreeing to reduce the importance of writing a traditional business plan, won’t abandon the planning process all at once. They’ll just approach it from an outlook that best conveys the way in which they expand and take advantage of their opportunities.

Classically a lot of denominations have prayers that are memorized and used. These are memorized in a like fashion to how Americans learn the Pledge of Allegiance for the American Flag, or the National Anthem. These get to be parts of the accepted norm of that religious denomination and part of many worship services.

The simple "Amen" is a part of many closings to prayers throughout Christian denominations. There are fortes and failings inherent in any sort of prayer and we shall analyze some of the strengths and weaknesses of prayer.

Among the weaknesses of memorized prayer that is commonly brought forward by critics is that because the words are memorized and stated over and over again in memorized fashion, in a lot of cases the individual loses the true meaning of the words they're praying.

The individual may quickly recite the memorized prayer particularly if they have repeated it a lot of times in worship, all the same they might not think about the words or have faith in what they're saying. What becomes familiar is a lot of times not truly understood or some of the times taken for granted.

In that respect, this type of prayer can lull somebody into a sense of security without substance. They're praying what amounts to mumbo jumbo IF they don't understand the content of what they're praying, or are mindful of what they're saying.

Prayer is the center of spirituality. It affords a fantastic recreation to the body, mind and soul. It brings in total satisfaction and satiety which nothing else may give. The peace which comes with prayer is of an unequaled nature, quite unimaginable- A sort of serenity descends on the subliminal self inside.

Prayer has in it an excellent dynamic force. It fortifies and befits an individual to face and fight the battle of life fearlessly and successfully.

It's in fact the only cure-all for all sorts of ills: diseases and ailments, accidents over which man has no control, evil propensities of the mind, and most especially brings in inner peace and satiety. It fills an individual with courage and fortitude and brings about a total reorientation.

Prayer is the key that unlocks the Kingdom of Heaven. It draws up the sluice gates and releases from inside immense power and resourcefulness.

Where all human efforts die, there prayer wins.

Even if prayer might seem to bomb in calamity, yet it has the power to take the bite out of it. With an inside transformation there comes a shift in the angle of vision, which greatly affects the outlook on life. Everything puts on a fresh mantle of color... Marvelously Divine.

Last but not least, prayer opens our eyes to truth and enables us to view things in their real perspective.

It gives fresh values to life and gradually transports a person into a new place. With a life of prayer a individual eventually rises into cosmic awareness and sees the hidden hand of The Higher Power working out His will and His purpose which otherwise stays a sealed book too subtle for the average man to pierce through and look into.

The more this interior contact is established, the more The Higher Power is imbibed by the spirit. Only when a complete identification comes about does one become a witting co-worker with Him.

Visualization is a form of relaxation. The simple act of calming your mind and visualizing something cuts down the amount of tension you're constantly bombarded with on a day-to-day basis. So, if you don't visualize for any other reason, I advocate you do it for this one.

Visualizing something that you wish to have or wish to experience may bring great joyfulness into your life. We may not be in the position right now to do or have what we wish, but we may visualize it.

This is the next best thing to really having it or doing it. Our minds don’t understand the difference in visualization and really having or doing a thing, so it will react in the same way it would if you where really experiencing that which you're visualizing.

With visualization there are no restrictions. You can be and accomplish anything. You can live in the home of your dreams, drive the automobile you want, be married to the love of your life and travel to different places. Not all of us get this luxury right now, however when we visualize, we have the might to visualize whatever we want without limits.

If you quiet your mind to visualize, you're actually bettering your power to focus. You no longer are bonded by the restrictions of your day. The more you visualize, and the better you get at it the better your total focus gets.

You are able to gain inspiration and you will be able to become inspired to take action towards your dreams by taking the time to visualize them. We're more likely to believe in and to move forward towards or dreams, if we can actually see them as possible and visualization may do that for us.

Disadvantages of visualization are hard to find. The most common is the time it takes out of the day to do so. However taking this time can be greatly beneficial.
