Planning and Implementation - Practical Learnings

I am not a management guru or an operational manager who can give you the exact technical definition of Planning and Implementation. I am here to write what I am learning from the life. You can find technical details in library, on Internet, or can attend a course and so can be crammed but cannot be understood exactly.


You might feel that you are expert in solving case studies, making plans, dealing with people, etc. but unless and until you go and try yourself you cannot plan the unplanned things. Now that’s the reason the whole industry is behind the practical experience. I now believe the world of business/entrepreneurship looks white like milk from outside but actually its opposite and you need to get your hands dirty before tasting the milk flavour.


A son of businessman is considered half businessman before even finishing the studies. Not because his father has given him a book for secrets of his business. It is because he has seen how it works actually. A background practical experience definitely has upper hand over others. And bookish knowledge helps someone combine practical learning with great theory and knowledge.


I am floating in between these two currently. Neither I have a full exposure to business (family owned experience) nor do I have full theoretical knowledge. But I have one thing with me now – ability to take risk. And I am going to exploit that completely. This advantage will definitely help me long term.



The difference between planning and implementation is experience. Yes, the understanding of the difference is what we call it as learning and experience. This experience has much more value then gold or any other precious stones. Hard work done combined with destiny can take you much closer to your dreams. And I am doing my part of hard work. What I need now is consistency and power to keep doing with an extra effort everyday. Something more than previous day will take me to top one day.


I have started understanding the practical difference and will benefit me in planning for future. I also learned that how fear can be useful. Fear to loose something makes your more practical and allows you to plan better for risk situation which you might ignore otherwise.


Friends, at this point of time I require your blessings and wishes. I will keep you posted on how the things are moving.
