Entrepreneurship

We have seen stories shared on news and social media platforms of successful Malaysian and global entrepreneurs with impressive business models.

However, is it just that simple and easy to duplicate successful models into your business and for you to be successful as well? You may have had seen people around you share their fantastic ideas and business proposals, but at the end of the day unfortunately their business turns out not successful!

Everyone can start a business but not everyone can scale the business. Worse still, many are not able to sustain their business. How can this happen? The reason for this is due to the execution power of the business owner and the “know-how” in the business processes.

Execution power is how well the business owner is able to put the plan into implementation and achieve its goals accordingly. However, there is always deviation between fact and forecast. If a business owner has strong execution power, he or she may be able to come out with good counter measure in a relatively short period of time to bring the business back on the right track to achieve their planned objectives.

On top of that, business owner needs to know the “know-how” of running the business which is the most crucial part of success in a business.
