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

Entrepreneurship should be taught to farmers - FAO expert

Every generation needs a revolution - an entrepreneurial revolution

This was said by the late Dr. Tito Contado, a from UP Los Banos and an expert who worked for FAO for a long time  He said  that what the agency promoted was subsistence farming.  Coupled with land reform that decreased the farmholdings of farmers, this posed serious obstacle in progress of agriculture. 

Instead he said, the agency should have taught farmers to be entrepreneurs, ie to be self sufficient.  With a single crop planted the  farmers are idle while waiting for the harvest.  If the farmer produces just a single crop, where does he get his other needs?  To buy these he needs to borrow even at usurious rates for his consumption

Thus farmers on their own must think for themselves at their own initiative, other businesses and exploit opportunities

Thus excess production of crops leading to waste leading to losses of capital need not happen  It is always govt govt fault.  Take note that govt can only initiate.   The rest is up to the farmers  He must solve his problems and find solutions.  Thus problem of storage:   organize cooperative for cold storage.  Excess production of vegies:   say tomato bottling, tomator paste making    Or cabbage -  make kimchi   Or poultry:    or pork ----> processed meat.

We have many schools and agencies teaching entrepreneurship or entreprenueria mindset   Let us do this
