All of us have had to deal with the concept of ‘preparation’ from the moment we could walk. Whilst the responsibility we had back then was comparatively small relative to todays age, they were still things that in a young child’s mind were rather significant. Things such as making our beds, turning the lights off, hanging up our clothes, helping out with the dishes. These were all primary responsibilities when we were younger.
This turned into getting ready for school on time, attending all of our classes, getting our first jobs and then moving out of the family home. We continue to mindlessly prepare ourselves for these tasks every day – but to us they seem so insignificant compared to running a business, making a good wage, putting a roof over our heads and feeding our families.
Irrespective of the size of the task; the principle remains the same. Better preparation makes for better execution of the task. To ‘prepare’ is typically defined as ‘”make (someone) ready or able to do or deal with something.”
To ready yourself.
To make sure you’re able and ready to deal with something.
I think it’s pretty safe to say that many of us at some time in our lives have felt unprepared for something. However, there are a handful of people that perform really well when they are unprepared. These people work well under pressure. But for the majority of us, that just isn’t the case.
We need to be prepared for anything that may come our way so that whatever happens, our business and our resources are safe. If you prepare for the worst, whatever comes your way will be a walk in the park for you. Because let’s be honest , hiccups and hurdles along the way slow down our business. We lose our momentum, our money, and our intensity within the market.
Ensure you make plans for whatever situation may be thrown at you. Because that’s what makes for a successful business. One that can handle whatever may be thrown at them.
