RE: 7 Habits of Highly Effective People - Habit Two
Greetings friend @awah.
In short, you are recommending that we take as a habit, the fact of thinking or focusing on what the end of our entrepreneurship would be like, all this before starting it.
Initially it seems contradictory, but if we analyze it, it makes a lot of sense.
In fact, I think that we unintentionally do the same thing every time we start a project. This would be the Probability Study phase.
If we are not satisfied with the possible results, it would be sensible not to undertake, or take the necessary corrections before investing our time and resources.
Thanks for sharing.
Your friend, Juan.
Hi @juanmolina
It does sound a little contradictory. What I am arguing is, that when we embark on a new business, entrepreneurship etc. We should have a view of where we are going - where we are aiming. They might be very high-level objectives but we need something to aim for and to inspire us.
For my business, we aim to deliver value over price. Innovation over routine. We want to deliver solutions beneficial for the global society.
This paints a high-level objective and everything else we do is guided by this. It becomes the truth north on the compass that we aim for.
Without it, we are just doing stuff. But how would we know we have been successful and hence also effective.
The same principle should be applied to any process or relationship. So when I consider my relationship with my wife. What relationship would I like to have with her? Once I know that, I can work proactively (Habit 1) to that goal (Habit 2).
Thanks for responding to my post. :)
We are on the same page, friend.
Setting general objectives, as well as short-term goals, are the basis of any undertaking.
