We Gain the Most Insight from our Own Experiences Rather than those of Others.

Keep in mind that you don't need to have perfect systems in place before you get started, and that once you've gotten going, you can always improve things.

Long-term planning necessitates a slow, steady rate of development, so don't rush things. Learning from our experiences is what allows us to develop as people. It's okay if we fall down; we're human. It's fine if our business model has holes in it.

The standards we have set are too lofty for a company or individual still in the early stages of development, but we cannot put off achieving our objectives for this reason. Why would we want to skip what is a necessary phase in creating something long-lasting?

You must not submit to the opinions of others who cannot possibly understand or appreciate your trip.

You are still in the crawling stage of life, and eventually, you will get up and start walking, talking, etc. The expectation that corporations will somehow accelerate their normal development seems unreasonable.

It is obvious that people who would have you rely on them to the point where you can't run your business without them are just out to make money for themselves and prevent you from learning from your mistakes.

I notice you are struggling with X, Y, and Z, and we have a solution for you...this is helpful when the company has a crystal clear understanding of the value proposition of this solution and how it will round out the value creation process.

You may not realize it at first, but your business could be the victim of a hostile takeover by a rival company that is methodically learning your trade secrets and adopting your processes and procedures.

Any company worth its salt has a vision statement outlining its ideal future. Organizational lessons are crucial for transforming a promising startup into a successful enterprise (mistakes).

You need to hone your skills through trial and error, exploring many potential solutions until you get to the optimal one, which will then be refined through a series of iterations.

There will be a requirement for constant tweaking and fixing, but that's fine because no company is flawless.

If you see a kid who has never climbed a tree before wanting to join in because all of the other kids are doing it, it's only natural to offer assistance. As a beginner, you understandably worry about falling and other potential dangers on the rock face. But is this the best way to assist others? Perhaps, perhaps not, but the point is to give kids a chance to figure out the basics on their own, such as how to maintain their balance and grasp, and whether or not they are likely to skip.

It's the same in business; you need experts to help you out, but you need to know what they're doing and why they're worth the money.

It's common knowledge that new business owners wear every hat in the company, from human resources to finance to operations to procurement, but as their enterprises expand, they bring in outside help.

You are the only one who can make that call; no one else should try to woo your business by offering to provide you with the convenience of a specialist before you have a chance to understand how he or she might help your company succeed.

Because you know what your company is capable of doing now and where you want it to be in the future, your own lessons are extremely valuable and will aid in future development.

It's possible that your system isn't up to par with international norms, but when it comes to providing the service, you really give it your all.

Clients recall how they were made to feel during the value creation process, and are not necessarily focused on your business systems, therefore, your delivery model will make up for any gaps.

You must come to terms with the fact that you will always be a novice at something, and that this is fine and in no way diminishes you or your other accomplishments.

It's important to keep in mind that the answer to this question depends on your company's risk tolerance and your plans for growth; some businesses, for example, may choose to scale up using a model that incorporates partnerships from the get-go.
