The only thing that I don't agree with is the back-up plan part. Back-up plans are important. |

Emmy9ite: Nice points op, some are debatable. Successful people dont work for money, they make their money work for them. They employ people to do what they dont want to do. Imagine Bill gate cleaning the floor cos he wants to be hardworking(this is just an illlustration), hope you get my point.working hard doesn't mean doing works that are tedious or degrading. The success you now see with Bill came at a great price at somepoint. Even now, he works hard, coming out of retirement to work still. That successful people pay people to do the job for them is not entirely correct. They do the job that they have passion and skill sets for and pay others todo other stuffs. If ur biz is selling and ur selling skills are the best in the coy, it will be foolish to pay people to close sales while you relax in the office. |

obowunmi: The only thing that I don't agree with is the back-up plan part. Back-up plans are important.Until you eliminate option B sometimes , you won't have the zeal or tenacity that will make option A work. U say don't put all your eggs in one basket. It is also said 'put all ur eggs in one basket and watch the basket. This is the power of focus that make magic happen. Some person lost his job, he wants badly to enter into biz for himself and gets started on a plan, yet he wants to see tuesday guardian (maybe the date has changed) searching for job, that person will most likely not succeed. Some, even after starting off on a biz idea, will go ahead and get a pay job. |

Interesting perspective but I don't agree. A backup plan is important. |

I'm sori but i dnt agree with most of these points. 1. You said don't have a backup plan. You mean when the sinking ship starts,it's wise to sink with it? Even inteligence recognize having a contingency plan. Ever wonder why Dangote run cement,food,oil and gas? Ever heard of multiple streams of income? When u employ a manager 2 run ur biz,get a capable hands and monitor,then see how he turn ur biz big whle u grow other biz. 2. Between working hard and working smart,i'l go 4 working smart. Why should Henry Ford do everythng himself when he can easily pay better hands to do them? Hard work is gud if u wana work all ur lyf. Dont get a few buckets delivering water,take time 2 develop a plan and build a system dat deliver neat,clean,easy,efficient water to millions.. They sell,well everybody does that. Marketing is gud 4 biz,so u dnt have 2 do 1 on 1 marketing. As 4 they are not too proud,that depends on what u think pride mean. All in all,i disagree with most of ur thesis but keep it up. Whateva works 4 u man. |

The first point (no back-up plan) is the most important on the whole list. In fact, u can make this the only quality u need to suceed, as d rest will fall in place. Of cos, most pple will disagree with this, but thats why there are few very wealthy people. As an entrepreneur, i am speaking from experience. Once u av a plan B, u wont give the business ur best shot even if u make up ur mind to do so, cos ur subscious mind controls u, and its focus is already divided with the plan B. Napoleon Hill spent 25yrs of his life studying successful pple like henry ford and thomas edison, and one of his conclusions is that you have to have a definite purpose. Even if u want to have multiple streams of income, build them to a successful status, before moving to the next one. Put all ur eggs in a basket and watch them with all your life. 2 Likes |

I guess what you have written is to your point of view. |

I doubt if those are the only things remarkable and successful people do! That is an incomplete information all rather misinformation |

You missed one point: Their pockets are the last bus stops for money. To get the money to come out is like pulling a tooth. Nobody spends his way to wealth! |

i think the op is right about no back up plan,it is even biblical,noone that lays his hands on a plough then looks back is worthy of the kingdom,when you are in a desperate situation and there is no other way than one way you cant have a backup plan ,once u re abe to focus and concentrate on that way you will succeed ,it is like someone looking for water ,after digging the ground to around 6ft he stops because he doest get any wter.trust me he can do that 100times and he wont reach the water leve but if he stays in one welll nd keeps digiing deep he will get his water.what the op simply meant by no backup is what u have decided to do,focus nd concentrate on it ,dont doubt ,keep hitting it hard until it gives way for u 1 Like |

obowunmi: The only thing that I don't agree with is the back-up plan part. Back-up plans are important. I concur..I know how many times my back-up plans mostly Plan B, has turned various deals, projects, etc into success..although my Plan A was solid and well thought out but fate or other factors have a way of screwing it up.. |

I don't agree with the lack of a back up plan. Having one helps you adapt to different unforseen circumstances and provide flexibility in tackling goals. What if your plan A is the wrong approach?? Will u continue b'cos you belive "Don't have a plan B". They also don't do all the work themselves, they hire the best people suited for the job. Do you think Dangote is the smartest man in Africa?? He simply hired the smartest brains to work for him. |

The op meant, u should religiously follow ur course to the end. You don't have to quite for a more convenient 'Plan B' cos u are facing a small setback. The only plan B u should have,is to consistently find ways on improving that venture or goal u so believe in. 1 Like |

When u want to start a business, u should av 100% confidence in succeeding. If u act like this, it might take u a while, but u will reach ur goal eventually. But d moment u av a plan B, u r already setting up urself to fail with plan A. I think the question shud be if any of u guys complainin about the "no back-up" plan theory av ever tried it before. Have u ever set out with a definite pupose in business, with no plan B? I'm sure the answer is No. So how do u know the benefits of not having a back-up plan? I am speaking from experience. It might be hard, but it works wonders...thats when miracles happen. I love the person above that used the analogy of digging a well...that was a brilliant illustration. |
