Indian Business Talk Preparation an essential part of business success By Bruce Engle L o a n officer IF.S. C red it E nterprise Practice m akes perfect... I t ain’t necessarily so. B et ter, I think, is the idea th a t practice is to m ake the right things h appen som ew hat au tomatically. M any su c c e ssfu l p e o p le h a v e said , “ P r e p a ra tio n is everything.” Practice is a p a rt o f p rep a ration. B o th are pream ble to success. F o r a n o ld p e rs o n , p r e am ble m ight be getting o u t o f b ed o r u p fro m a chair b e f o r e a m b lin g a r o u n d th e house. P reparation for an athlete is all th eir physical training a n d s tu d y in g p lu s th e i r w arm u p -stre tch in g -p sy c h u p sessions just before com peti tion. P reparation fo r a success ful businessperson is sim ilar to all o f th e above. Ideally, it starts young. Som e o f the ingredients are: • H e lp f u l p a r e n t s a n d teachers. ■ School. K -12 at least. A college degree o p e n s m o re d o o rs. M ake su re th e 3-Rs (R eed en , R ite n , and R ithm atik) are well learned. Spelling isn’t an R b u t it helps. • G row ing up in a family b u sin ess— hopefully, a su c cessfu l one. T h a t way, you acquire skills, know ledge, at titudes, w ork ethic, etc. T h ere is a difference b e tw een acq u irin g a n d b o o k learning. T h in k o f “ acq u irin g ” as total im m ersion— you so rt o f soak it up. B o o k learning isn’t as “natural.” Learning to swim w ould be an exam ple. R eading a b o u t how to swim isn’t the sam e as being th ro w n in and hav ing to sw im o r sink. •W orking in a similar busi ness to the one you w ant to start. T h a t way you learn the sp ecifics o f th a t p a rtic u la r business. Ideally, you have the chance to be well trained in the business while earning a living and saving your start up stake. • Specialized trainings can b e h e lp fu l in th e a reas o f P u rc h a sin g , M a rk etin g , F i nance, B ookkeeping, P e rso n nel M anagem ent, and B usi ness Law. T h o se trainings are available w ith o u t h aving to e n te r a college degree p r o gram . Parents, teachers, and em p lo y ers all h a v e im p o rta n t roles to play in d eveloping successful business w orkers, m anagers, and owners. Som e old sayings: • G IG O — garbage in, gar bage out. Be careful and se lective as to w h a t w e in p u t and fro m w here w e get it. • M o st teachers teach as th e y w e re t a u g h t — g o o d teachers are a valuable asset. • M o st paren ts p a re n t as they w ere p aren ted — quality begets quality. • M anagers m u st in sp ect ration, hard w ork, and a b it for w h at they expect. I f w e o f lu ck . I t ’s m o re c e rta in expect excellence, w e m u st be w h e n p a re n ts an d tea ch e rs willing to p u t in the e ffo rt to have d o n e th e ir p a rts well. o b se rv e th e w o rk p ro c e ss ,!
