Today’s lesson is “Nurturing the Vision” as a first-time dad my daughter Kennedy is teaching me incredible business lessons that I would like to share. If you think about your online personal brand or a start-up business they both require attention, time and development from the principal, founder, and or owner. The same way a newborn requires parents to feed them, change them, and to protect them so that they can grow. A newborn comes into this world with an immune system that is not build up to be able to fend off harmful bacteria and diseases that could be determinable to their health and well-being.
What would happen if a newborn baby were left to fend for himself or herself on day one? The answer is clear the newborn would not exist. But this happens everyday in business we start out with visions of grandeur to develop a multi-million dollar startup business or establishing an online personal brand by setting up profiles in various social networks to establish and we think this alone will cause us to be wildly successful. Without the visionary creating an environment where the business can grow, without being active and present to manage and develop the business or the online profiles and implement strategies you can do more damage than good.
The build it and they will come mentality will no longer world in today’s economy.
Are you nurturing your vision?
