Opportunity seeking follows the numbers game

Every generation needs a revolution - an entrepreneurial revolution

Even at this later stage in life, this office entertains many possible projects.  I think opportunities follow the law of numbers.  Of the so many in pipeline, only one or two will prosper.  Many obstacles will come up preventing success of the project:   1.  regulations,  2  internal dissent or lack of cooperation, 3.  the proposed partner mindset.  Lately one of our projects in the pipeline was cancelled because one of clearances was delayed, He lacked obviously patience and the maturity to come to a long term business  relationship.  He dared us to end the project, which we did.  We spent time effort, and over a year wrestling with the project. 

I was relieved that it was over.  It was second time he showed his lack of patience   On the other hand it was  a blessing in disguise because we did not get the desired row.

The other project was abandoned by the Board because lately we are having difficulty with LGU and 
its almost two years.  The LGU exec is a relative and has not been helpful.   

As my younger brother used to say, maybe " Not meant to be"     May be we will just use the project to cover our liabilities

Wealth creation, focussing on results

Every generation needs a revolution - an entrepreneurial revolution

One of the things that bother me is subordinates being content  with completion of tasks and not minding their contribution to results.   Sales and and collection are important results.  Without them we can do not eat

And they are not bothered with that.  Many workers would just do routine jobs, will not take initiative, will not go beyond their comfort zones and content with just being there.

At the end of the day, the bottoms up approach does not work.  It has to be top down.  The top guy has to take charge and be at the forefront.   

The captain has to take charge.   There could be no other way

Work experience in CBD and education in top university do not guarantee for success

Every generation needs a revolution - an entrepreneurial revolution

Some one is in contractual engagement with us for an important task.  However, this post is riled by:
lack of initiative and slow execution.  Not negotiating with the suppliers.  Irregular or 0 reporting
Being argumentative rather than supportive of the goal, and or wealth creation.

I would like to see this aa a work in process and would like to see changes in the individual to be entrepreneurial .  Michael Gerber was right regarding E myth
