SAILING FORWARD WITH STRATEGY!

Passion and strategy make for the most sophisticated combination. And for the many who are seeking to make something out of life, one of the things to note is that, no matter what has been conceived, without the strategy to drive the same, everyone might as well call off their attempts and go home.

I have come to realize that moving forward is all about strategic thinking and the approach. Many of the times, we fail in a particular venture, campaign, pursuit or other because we do not plan for the long term that is backed up by firm submissions and clarity. A good plan minimizes the risk of failure, irrespective of the odds.

It is not enough to play forward an idea, and simply expect same to catch on because it is great on paper. Eventually, it always come down to how you plan to nurture and sustain that idea through the stages of growth and maturity. It so happens that many of us are big on ideas but not on strategy.

The HOW to maneuver through hoops with available resources, the WHO to involve as part of your team, and the WHAT to do from phase to phase are essential to any and all endeavors. It goes without saying that none of the HWWs can be skipped. 
Initiators of startup ventures; big, medium or small scale, Heads of corporations and companies, and Managers in organizations can attest to this, especially given the sheer weight of pressure associated their establishments, and the expectations thereof. Their various experiences can stand as proof.
