Why having pain is important to have a winning business plan

Why having pain is important to have a winning business plan.

Simply stated: a brilliant business plan on paper will be a dud unless it is surrounded by flawless execution.

What does flawless execution look like?

◾️It is messy and inelegant;

◾️It suffers a multitude of roadblocks along the way; 

◾️It rarely works out the way you planned; alternative approaches are employed on the run;

◾️It burns people out; tons of energy is expended to move an inch forward;

◾️“I told you it wouldn’t work” is a persistent din in your face from some people;

◾️You rarely hear a thanks! for your efforts. You need to be able to work in a thankless world;

◾️Your family forgets your name because you are rarely home.

One word describes a successful execution track. PAIN. You have to endure it if forward progress is to be achieved.

If a successful business plan without execution is worthless. And successful execution without pain is impossible. It follows, then, that a successful business plan without pain is impossible.

I can’t think of a more relevant business planning concept.

Do you recruit people that have a high pain tolerance?

Demonstrated ability to move forward in the face of it? A psychological profile that actually thrives on it?

The ability to teach others how to work effectively with it in their face?

PAIN LOVERS

They will make you successful. Hire them. Worship them. Hold them up in regard to others who hopefully will emulate them.

Cheers,
