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.
