Planning is Prosperity in Business

Right from the time the thought of starting a business establishment or an organization starts, the planning process also starts. To establish an organization, depending on the nature of the business, there are so many factors the need to be considered. Capital, manpower, machine power, the place where you want to start the organization, what are the infrastructural facilities that you need? How will be the organization chart? How many departments will be operating? How many number of employees will work? What will be organizations policies? There are numerous other factors that involve planning.

Said and done all these things, this will just be the beginning phase of the planning right from framing organization policies, defining qualitative and quantitative parameters, in everything and everywhere you need planning, what will be the nature of the job of each and every personnel in the organization, on what basis performance evaluation will be done, what will be the growth chart. How to set the goals for the organization and for the individuals? Planning is the backbone of all the activities of the organization. How you carry on each and every task in the organization, what will be the time frame, quality, what will be the responsibilities of each person?

Every thing has to be planned the bigger the size of the organization the greater will be task of the planning. Planning as per the level it is carried on, and as per the organizations policies, and necessity, involves various people. It is not necessary that only one person should always plan the things out, on the contrary not every thing is planned discussing with everybody. At the beginning planning is done at the highest level of the organization, which will define all the activities of the organization.These are again broken down to departmental level and individual levels.

The whole organizations growth and progress depends on the planning capabilities of the personnel involved. If care is taken that each and every aspect of the organization that is crucial to the progress of the organization is taken care of properly, properly planned, and all that is properly planned is properly executed, no one can stop the growth of the organization.

To put in short, planning is necessary for establishing, and running the organization smoothly, on the right track. And it is only planning aspect that determines the growth of the organization. If the persons involved in each and every stage and level of planning are experienced and skilled in their respective areas, then planning will be proper and growth will be guaranteed. So, proper planning is the tool that determines organizations prosperity.

What Makes a Successful Businessman?

If we carefully study the lives of great people, the point at which they started their journey, they were just ordinary people like any of us. If at all they had anything that made them exemplary persons / made them build big business empires, it was the dream that they had set in their mind with strong conviction and confidence, that they can become, what they always wanted to be.

Most of the time, majority of the people, either because of the environmental conditions they were brought up, or because of various other factors, they are made to think, that they are not capable of dreaming big or becoming big achievers. But, on the contrary, take examples of the great leaders in any field, let it be business, politics or spirituality, it was the passion that they had towards their dream, that made them successful and great leaders in their respective fields.

Take the example of Tata, Birla, or Ambani. They were ordinary people with extraordinary confidence and faith, in what they believed. To support and achieve that, they had, good character and principled life. Superficial manners business ethics, etiquette there are number of people, organizations and books which can teach you all this. But character, self-confidence, principled life, a clear vision of the purpose of our life and a burning desire to fulfill that dream, all these things we have to acquire.

These qualities are not necessarily inborn; they can be nurtured provided we are wiling to do so. God has blessed each and every human being with the same capability; all that we need is faith in ourselves. Take an example of the tree, we all know that tree originates from the seed, but when you open the seed, you find there is nothing inside but space, yet from that nothing, such a big tree originated. This is the essence of life, from nothing everything comes, and from being no one, we become some one.

It is because of faith, that Swami Vivekananda, with no money in his pocket, could go to America to attend world Religions Conference and voiced his opinion to the world. It was faith that made M. K. Gandhi a Lawyer, into Mahatma Gandhi, it will also be faith, utter faith In ourselves, that will make us one day into “somebody.” Believe in yourself, and in your dreams, and dare to achieve them, there is no one to stop you in the world.
