Turning Business Plans into Reality
From Idea to Action - Turning Business Plans into Reality
It's exhilarating to dream up startup ideas and hypothetical business plans.
But it's another thing entirely to turn those ideas into profitable business reality.
Wantrapreneurs learn quickly - success requires more than just ideation. You need to make it work in practice.
Having an inspiring vision matters little if you can't execute on the small, incremental stuff.
If you are starting or joining the board of a new company, you need to get clear on how the executive team (or individual) is going to nail that first step, before they nail the second.
The idea itself is maybe 1%. The rest comes down to determined elbow grease.
Most of my ‘great’ ideas did not survive first impact with the market. I found advisory boards could save me a lot of time and pain.
Have you ever had a great idea that didn’t survive in the real world?
