INSTANT MBA: If You Think You Can Do It Better, Go For It
I believe in a saying called "Carpe Diem", which is Latin for "seize the day". I always believe in this saying and when I know it's time to make a change I do it at 100 percent. There are certain things that can be done a lot better at where I work, and take every opportunity to do those things and always come out on top.

INSTANT MBA: If You think You Can Do It Better, Go For It
This is the key to being an entrepreneur! When you find something that has a void that needs to be filled, or a line of business that is lacking in one particular thing, you have found your opportunity. In order for you to be successful you must think that you have something that someone else needs, or wants, and your market needs to be big enough to make a profit and continue to grow. Analyzing something and knowing that you can do it better gives you the base for your idea, now being to think about the details and pursue it and you can become very successful!

INSTANT MBA: If You Think You Can Do It Better, Go For It
I think the article has great advice, that if you can do something better, then do it. By being able to be the best in any field, you have created a major business opportunity. If you are unhappy with your suppliers for example, begin manufacturing your product. If you can do it better, why pay someone else to do it. Only utilize those that can do a better job than you could if you had to do it yourself, otherwise just do it.

INSTANT MBA: If You Think You Can Do It Better, Go For It
I agree with the article about doing something yourself if you think you can do it better. So many people complain about how they can do this or that better than what is being done at the moment with out actually doing it. If you think you can do something better than what is being done then do it. For example, I like my clothes washed a certain way and when I was a kid I would always complain to my dad about how he did my clothes. Eventually I stopped complaining and did my clothes myself. I wanted it done a certain way and the only way it was going to get done that way was if I did it so I did.

This article gives good advice on how to succeed. Believing in yourself is key to success. If you believe you can do something better, then do it. You're chances of succeed are high. Those entrepreneurs who go after something they truly believe in are far more successful. So if you see a weakness and believe you can do things better, then go for it.

I like the main point that this article emphasizes about seeing gaps in businesses and jumping on the opportunity that the business has left open. Seeing issues with businesses can lead to advantages for you to take. The aspect of "if you think you can do it better, go for it" has a lot of value for an entrepreneur that can lead to endless success. Being able to beat a company in their own game through exposing their weaknesses is business tactic that cannot go wrong.

Good article. I think that most of the time people see a problem and say, “I wish someone would find a way to fix this!”, instead of attempting to resolve the problem themselves. The people who strive in business are the one’s who simply saw the problem and found a way to fix it……….as simple as that.

Instead of complaining about something figured out a way to make it better. Frustration can brew creatively, which may create an abundance of success. I think as a manager the best piece of advice I have heard so far is to turn negatives into positives, no matter what.

Innovation begins with an idea, then turns into an opportunity. If you have an idea on how to get rid of an inefficiency, or something of the sort, do it. Niche markets are filled with business owners who saw a need and filled a need. I don’t see how that can be applicable to state government, but I would like to think when I come up with something efficient, that my managers look at it and praise me for my work.

I really like the advice the author gives in the following quote "Think of what frustrates you—and if you're frustrated by something and you feel 'Dammit, if only people could do this better,' then go try to do it better yourself." This will get you focused at something you are good at doing

Having passion and excelling with it is key. If you feel you can do better than what's out there then I say go for it. After all that is how companies get competitors in the industry. However, it is your opportunity to excel and do it better...Succeed!

Branson is a personal hero of mine. He tends to do things when everyone else is just trying to stay afloat. I am really a fan of his space program, going to space for a $100,000. That’s unheard of. He doesn’t care what the economy is doing all he sees are possibilities.

I think this idea defines entrepreneurship. If you find a gap, and are willing and able to make an idea better, or fill that hole, by all means, follow your heart. You could potentially create something bigger than you ever imagined. Just as Branson did, he believed he could do better, and he did just that. He now has what he calls one of the most notable entrepreneurial minds of his generation.

INSTANT MBA: If You Think You Can Do It Better, Go For It This concepts is what makes businesses successful. By “doing it better” you will fill the gap left behind by other. Companies succeed when they can offer customers something better, different, and unique. When companies all offer the same, consumers are given choice. If you offer something that no one else does then you are the one in demand, as long as the basics of customer service is not forgotten.

Instant MBA: If You Think You Can Do It Better, Go For It I think this article was a phenomenal read and great advice. I always hear people say how someone has stolen their business idea or how they have done it before them, when in reality if they would have actually went through with the entire process, the conversation of the idea being stolen wouldn’t even be up for discussion. Never be afraid to try, because you never know how the outcome will be. Sometimes people are afraid to try something because they don’t know what other people will say or think. As your own person, you have to ask yourself do you really want it. And if so then go for it, because time is of the essence, and it will not wait on anyone. ‘Others’ won’t take care of you, so why does it matter what they think. Be confident about everything you do, even if it doesn’t turn out for the better, how would you know if you don’t try? And you have to keep trying until you get it right. Fill in the gaps, and leave room for nobody to place their mark. Do it and be the best at it. I agree, there is nothing wrong with taking something, flipping it and making the idea a million times better.
