INSTANT MBA: Know What Your Game Is, And Play It Tight This article is just like knowing your strengths and staying focused on doing what you do best. Knowing your strengths is one thing, but staying focused on what you do best is the hard part when so many new ideas are surfacing all around you. So many people become bored with focusing on their strengths because its basically doing the same thing over and over again, therefore people tend to try something new even when their strengths are having positive results.

INSTANT MBA: Know What Your Game Is, And Play It Tight
This article talks about choosing one thing to do and stay focused on that one particular project. On that subject I agree with it to some aspect. When you are building a brand you do need to focus on perfecting that brand so you can be successful at it but, now and days things change so fast that you have to change with it. What I am trying to say is that your business can start off great where everyone is into that one particular thing and then something new and more efficient comes out and the customers lose focus. Because things are changing so rapidly it is smart for one to have a diverse business where it can make money more than one way. You do not have to do like twenty six different things but, at least spread your risk to about three different things only if you have perfected that first project.

It’s important to stick to your roots. Become the best at one thing, then move outward. Most companies that I can think of that would “know their game” have been established for years and have kept true to the image they hold as being a productive company. Keeping the goals of your company true to your company culture allows for the company to develop tradition. Tradition can result in a positive reputation in the eyes of their consumers, thus increasing business.

Alt link 39: INSTANT MBA: Don't Get Stuck In A Daily Routine
Daily routines can be good and bad. They can be good for people who's job entails work that is due by a specified time at fixed periods. They can be bad for people working in non-traditional workplaces such as workers for firms in the entertainment industry. Daily routines can hamper ones creativity and outside the box thinking, but if you have reports due every day and your job depends on it then you might want to stick to a strict schedule.

Raising Cane's really lives up to the goal of doing one thing and doing it right. When Todd Graves founded the company, his mission was to have a simple menu of quality chicken fingers and to do it better than anyone else. Everyone he pitched his business idea to told him it would never work. But here he is less than 20 years later with nearly 200 restaurants that are all extremely profitable. Our company constantly stresses sticking true to our original mission of being known for the brand of quality chicken fingers. Because we have never lost focus and continue to strive towards our initial goal, it has proved very successful for Raising Cane's, which is currently expanding nationwide.

This article discusses how you should focus on one goal for your company and one goal only. If you try to excel with one thing then you will be more successful than trying to do several different things at one time. If you try to excel in to many things then you may not succeed at anything. If you stick to trying your best at one thing then your business can be very successful. Also all the employees in the business will be focused on one thing rather than several different things.

This article offers great advice! I think knowing your overall goal for your company should be one of the main focuses. This also goes along with having a sense of culture in your business, as well as a mission statement, and goals to strive to in order for that mission to come true! The more focused your business is and the people within the company are, the easier it will be to outdo the competition.

This seems a very old piece of advice. Do one thing right and you will do it a whole lot better than the guy who is trying to spread his talents over 5 different things. You may want to think that if you spread your self around, you will have a better chance of success, the whole don't put all your apples in the same basket. But that is not always true. If you only have one apple, and it is the biggest reddest apple in the world, than why would you need to grow any more apples?

The CEO of the company I work for founded his company on this tactic. He wanted to make one thing, and make it right. The menu of his restaurant consists of only one item- chicken fingers. No one thought his idea was good and he had a hard time getting funding to start up his business because his goal was to serve the highest quality chicken finger meals. He focused his mission on doing one thing and doing it the best and it worked. He has over 200 restaurants all across the country now and he is a very successful person!

In this situation this worked for her. Sure staying true to only one idea and perfecting it can be great if that one idea is highly profitable. Some people need additional revenue by creating a few other entities to their business. Business success will vary by situation.

This article is basically saying to not lose focus on your goal, and don't stray from that one main goal. Trying to do more than one thing at once can make anyone slack on each individual job. The article simply advises that you finish one task, and accomplish that one main goal before moving on and trying to accomplish another goal. This same concept can be true outside of business as well, in that you shouldn't try to overwhelm yourself by doing more than one task at a time.

I think the interview process is a big factor here because, as the interviewer, your able to specifically tell the interviewee the job task at hand. Eventually, leaving you original plan will just cause a small loop in what you were trying to do and bring you right back to the original plan.What I am trying to say is that your business can start off great where everyone is into that one particular thing and then something new and more efficient comes out and the customers lose focus.

This article offers good sound advice. It is better to complete one task perfectly and be behind schedule then to complete ten tasks that are not done correctly. Having to redo someone else's work can be very time consuming and frustrating to all people involved. Taking longer to do something right the first time is better than completing five things that have to be redone.

Stay true to the game plan! I too, have seen many companies try to take on more and more instead of focus on that one particular plan. It definitely has an impact on the company and not in such a good way. I always say to stay focus on the task at hand and not get caught up in getting off track.

I agree with this article 100%. Every company should have goals that they set and plan on reaching. Goals allow a company to define themselves. Also with having goals you set up a plan that can be calculated and accomplished. Every company should remind employees their goals and have them understand that as a team these goals can be reached.
