Awakening Trumpet

We are deeply moved by watching ordinary people doing extraordinarily in course of our Strategy development workshops. Little achievements of the key members (ordinary people) having profound effect on the business leaves us in disbelief. We are glad to watch the changes in their outlook about the business. But, we are regretting that only a small percentage of business owners / teams dare to leave their accustomed way of thinking and catch the growth mindset. One of the major mindset is to expand the production facility, or increase number of sales outlets, or increase man power, etc. 

Most  organisations operate on the assumption or formula that more resources / facility equals better business. They invest a large financial capital in upgrading, expanding and improving resources. Of course, resources matter to accomplish organisational feat. But the mindset for growth matters more than resources.  When you look around the companies that grow geometrically; in spite of meager resources, they thrive with their outlook. Often mindset trumps the resources bank; it sets businesses apart. It help

s the leaders to navigate the right path, irrespective of the circumstances the organisation is having. Mindset can be acquired with right kind of facilitation. A look back on the clients whom we have served indicate, it is sheer mindset that helped them to reach a growth path. The wake up call to every Small and Medium business is to see the market before they spend or acquire costly resources.  Resources may become obsolete faster than the returns it can provide. Many times simplest of the ideas lead to big breakthroughs, but the ideas stick only if there are right mindsets.
