When you’re starting something, following your passion…. anything, it can be extremely difficult.
There’s people asking you, have you got a business plan? What’s your strategy? Who are your customers? Etc…
Whilst these are very important questions – there’s a phrase that you shouldn’t forget….. Progress over Perfection!
Get started. Find your customers (have an idea first who/where they could be!)
40 years ago, Rob Strasser, Nike’s first marketing head, put out this internal memo called “Principles.” Quite incredible just how little the company has wavered from these since….
What are your principles? – if it helps, I would recommend you read, Business for Punks! – great book!!
With this… you may be thinking, Bal…. what’s your passion and what are your principles?!
Great questions….. I have a few passions, all of which I’m progressing with, from Food (Bal’s Bakery), Football (which I enjoy – and am coaching a team!) and….. well, there’s a few more I’m working on, and will share more soon!
