Implementation is the key for Startups

This is one piece that I was waiting to write for some time now. The reason may not be as obvious as it may seem. It is a very subjective topic and may have many interpretations, however, I will try to keep it as objective as possible.

So, first let me try and define the difference between operational and implementation. Operational is how your company will be run and the implementation is how you plan to get to the point where you are actually running the Company. To put it in simple words, operational is that how your life in a stable love relation will be and implementation is what all you should do to ensure that you are in a stable love relationship.

The reason I have taken this example is because company and relationship are 2 things that are very close to an individual and require similar involvement for them to be successful in the long term. The interesting thing is that most founders fail to develop an implementation plan for the business. Reason being envisioning how the business will work is much easier than envisioning/identifying all the steps to get the business up and running. However, the situation is completely different when you talk about a relationship. For a relationship an individual thinks of the minutest of details to ensure the start of a love relationship. This individual may not have a clue as to what or how must things progress from there on.

I believe if a founder thinks and acts like a person in a relationship, he is sure to get success. At the end of the day it is all about being able to implement swiftly and not being lost in thought. Thinking too much sometimes takes the excitement away and makes an individual anxious. If you implement what you have planned without being anxious you will surely be running a company and will surely be in a relationship. Once this is achieved you must work very hard on the operational plan for stability. An operational plan helps in rapid expansion and to tackle well with the challenges that will come along with more people and processes.

I hope this makes some sense and helps startups to think right and implement fast.
