"Talk To The Expert"
One quality required of an entrepreneur is the ability to visualize the goals and every step that has to take to achieve them. In the dynamic market place, to have a clear sense of direction is necessary. But, should an entrepreneur be able to foresee and manage upfront, the potential conflict (such as intellectual property ownership) associated with the business?
Entrepreneurship connotes risk-taking. Many entrepreneurs have the just-do-it attitude, making deals and leaving potential risks aside. Instead of knowingly learning the hard way, successful entrepreneurs should consider consulting someone to play an appropriate role upfront eg by asking the hard questions such as the business model's value propositions and suggesting alternative perspectives.
Through a private, informal and future-focused process, a learned friend, a knowledgeable confidant, or a specialist mediator can help any sole proprietors, partnerships or joint ventures to start SMART. Their counsel could facilitate and transform the ways in making deals, in managing or pre-empting some risks. I can testify to that, as I myself have undergone the process before launching my professional services consultancy: peterC@SOLUTIONS.
"Talk to the Expert" is a professional services consultancy initiative I have in mind, aiming at helping entrepreneurs to enter into partnerships or to make deals in a SMART fashion. An independent and impartial consultant is there to address potential or actual differences in a constructive fashion and to get amicable answers that should enhance mutual interests. Keeping internal risks in control timely should do away an obstacle along the road of success!
