To be successful, you need to create positive attitudes in the minds of other people. You can’t make yourself successful. Only other people can make you successful. - Catherine Kaputa

Success is a Team Effort The Holy Bible MBA™

Success is a Team Effort The Holy Bible MBA™

 "What I receive I must pass on to others. The knowledge that I have must not remain imprisoned in my brain. I owe it to many men and women to do something with it. I feel the need to pay back what was given to me. Call it gratitude... To learn means to accept the postulate that life did not begin at my birth. Others have been there before me, and I walk in their footsteps“ -Elie Wiesel (Nobel Peace Prize, 1986)

 `Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?' That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,' said the Cat. `I don't much care where--' said Alice. `Then it doesn't matter which way you go,' said the Cat. `--so long as I get somewhere,' Alice added as an explanation. `Oh, you're sure to do that,' said the Cat, `if you only walk long enough.' -Excerpt from Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland

Change Mindset The Holy Bible MBA™

 `Adapt or perish, now as ever, is nature's inexorable imperative.‘ -- H. G. Wells

Risk Mindset The Holy Bible MBA™

 Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. Security does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. - Helen Keller  Life means risk  People sabotage themselves when they don’t even try  People experiences “near-life experiences”  If you want to seize an opportunity, you must take a risk  If you want to grow, you will have to take chances  If you don’t, you have resign to a life of mediocrity  The people who don’t make mistakes end up working for those who do!

Sowing Mindset The Holy Bible MBA™

 He that observeth the wind shall not sow; and he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap. As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all. In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good. - Ecc 11:4-6

Sowing Mindset The Holy Bible MBA™

 Now Isaac, planting seed in that land, got in the same year fruit a hundred times as much, for the blessing of the Lord was on him. And his wealth became very great, increasing more and more; For he had great wealth of flocks and herds and great numbers of servants; so that the Philistines were full of envy. (Gen 26:12-14 BBE)

Time Mindset The Holy Bible MBA™

 It takes time, don't cut corners  don’t underestimate the time it takes to achieve something of value.  Be ready to pay your dues.

Strategies The Holy Bible MBA™

Strategy : Practice Today The Holy Bible MBA™

Strategy : Practice Today The Holy Bible MBA™

 Banish the future; live only for the hour and it's allotted work. Think not of the amount to be accomplished, the difficulties to be overcome, but set earnestly at the little task at your elbow, letting that be sufficient for the day; for surely our plain duty is, as Carlye says, "not to see what lies dimly at a distance, but to do what lies clearly at hand. - William Osler

 Don't worry about tomorrow. It will take care of itself. You have enough to worry about today. (Mat 6:34 CEV)

Strategy : Learn Today The Holy Bible MBA™

Strategy : Be an Entrepreneur The Holy Bible MBA™

 Business ventures are propelled by people's sense of opportunity.

 Entrepreneurship is not a privilege belonging to a small, select group of special personalities,  Opportunities result from creation, the ability to see and understand problems and develop unexpected solutions.

Strategy : Be an Entrepreneur The Holy Bible MBA™

 Business venture can start in two different ways  Problem orientation  starts with the discovery of an unsolved problem of a sufficient magnitude, and an awareness of the fact that a solution to that problem represents value. Ventures based on understanding a problem market insight - have a better chance of succeeding. The reason for this is terribly simple. Problems indicate a need that has not been met and thus a business opportunity.

Strategy : Be an Entrepreneur The Holy Bible MBA™

 Business venture can start in two different ways  Solution orientation  a solution, typically a technology, a process, a new material or a combination of them.  task has to do with commercialisation such as, "How can this conception solve a problem in a better or less costly way than the ones that already exist?"

Strategy : Be an Entrepreneur The Holy Bible MBA™

 Entrepreneur Lens  Invention  is an idea without any immediate commercial value, until someone develops an application and introduces it to the market.  Innovation  is the way in which to do something differently, less costly or better.

Strategy : Seize A Windows of Opportunity The Holy Bible MBA™

 When the wind of changes blow, some build wind protection, others build windmills." - Mao Tse-tung

Strategy : Seize A Windows of Opportunity The Holy Bible MBA™

 The competitive marketplace is strewn with good ideas whose time came and went because inadequate attention was given to moving rapidly and hitting an open window of opportunity. The same marketplace is strewn with broken glass of windows of opportunities hit after they were slammed shut. - Constantine Nicandros | CEO Conoco Inc  What’s a window of opportunity?  Your chance to meet market needs through a creative combination of resources, whereby exceptional value is generated.  The identification of unmet needs is a necessary — but not a sufficient - condition for success.

Strategy : Seize A Windows of Opportunity The Holy Bible MBA™

 Ability to look at the market and at needs from new angles |knowledge and special skills.  Occurrences i.e. events and changes - both unrecognised and well-known - that open the door to through the interpretation and combination of information to develop opportunities;  Latent weaknesses - that are just waiting to be discovered and remedied;  Technological achievements combined with new processes, materials or forms of organisation that add up to conditions for opportunity;  Missing links: obvious shortcomings, weak links, etc. that everyone has become used to, but which may be eliminated if you can catch sight of the blockages.

Strategy : Brand Yourself The Holy Bible MBA™

 Why bother  You can’t make a sale. Only other people can decide whether to buy from you, be you an individual or a company.  A “self-brand”, the reason for people to buy from you, whether you are selling yourself for a job or selling products and services to others.  It used to be about “Can you do the job?” Now, many people can do what you do. So it has to be about something more.  Brand yourself to achieve success in terms of getting paid what you’re worth, landing the promotion you deserve, or launching a business that lasts

Strategy : Brand Yourself The Holy Bible MBA™

 Think of yourself as a brand  Harness various strategy and tactics, image and visual identity, words and verbal identity, visibility and reputation, and other branding ideas—all the things that will help attract people to you.  Brand success depends on what other people think about you.  If people think you are a dynamic business leader, you are.  If people think you’re a B player, you are (until you change their perceptions). It doesn’t matter what is “objectively” true. Perception is reality.

Strategy : Acknowledges Other’s Potential The Holy Bible MBA™

 “If you treat an individual as he is, he will remain how he is. But if you treat him as if he were what he ought to be and could be, he will become what he ought to be and could be.” - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Strategy : Build Relationships The Holy Bible MBA™

 “The richest people in the world build networks; everyone else is trained to look for work.” – Robert Kiyosaki

 People failed because of their inability to effectively relate with others  Networking is the #1 way to find a job, over 60% of job opportunities are filled by recommendation. Keep your contacts informed – your current job won’t be your last (long term process)

Strategy : Managing Your Success Cycle The Holy Bible MBA™

 Understanding where you are in the cycle and focusing your career/business management activities appropriately.  The Success cycle  Involves moving from job to job or project to project  Performance is still the focus of most individuals’ career or business management efforts  Review your personalised focus, keep current on how your arena is changing, and begin again to develop new capabilities so that you can maintain your worth as an employee or business
