WHAT ARE YOU PLANTING?


Parts of a business plan
Let’s assume that we are all farmers having only two different options to farming. Will you prefer subsistence farming like growing maize or commercial farming like growing coffee?

What is your choice, maize or coffee?

Well, it takes only about 90 days to harvest maize, but a long 6 years to start harvesting coffee.  

The truth of the matter is, most of us  will rather plant maize. Who in the world has the 6 years to waste waiting for harvesting?

But look! Maize comes and goes yet coffee will continue its prime production for about 10 years and may live on for 60 good years.

You will harvest your maize, eat or sell just in a few weeks, but coffee produces again and again for   years.

Here comes my POINT.

I have noticed that good things in life take a LONG TIME to materialize.

If you have a SMALL AMBITION, you can achieve that TOMORROW.
However, if your DREAM is BIG, then you’ll need a little bit LONGER time.

It may take 90 days to harvest ONIONS, but it takes 15 years (or more) to harvest PINE TREES.

What are you planting?

If you need a JOB, you can get one NOW. However, if you want to build a COMPANY, it takes TIME, FOCUS, DETERMINATION and ENDURANCE.

Just like an OAK tree that takes 20-30 years to produce its first acorns, so are GREAT GOALS and AMBITIONS.

To achieve your BUSINESS IDEA ensure you have it documented in a PLAN. A good BUSINESS PLAN acts as a ROAD-MAP to your DESTINATION which is your GOAL.
