Opportunity cost is the value of what you’re missing out on by choosing one option over another. It’s not always about money 💵 – it could be time ⏰, resources 🛠️, or any other factor that has value. In business, opportunity cost appears in various forms: Resource Allocation: Deciding where to allocate your time, money, etc. means choosing between different projects or investments. Investment: When you invest in one project, you forgo potential returns from another. For example, investing in new technology 📱 might mean you can’t expand your marketing efforts 📈. Product Development: Launching a new product 📦 might mean you have to delay or cancel another project. The opportunity cost here is the potential profit from the delayed/canceled project. Time Management: As a business owner, your time 🕒 is incredibly valuable. The time you spend on one task is time you can't spend on another potentially more profitable activity. By being mindful of opportunity costs, you can make more informed decisions that align with your long-term business goals. 🏆 #OpportunityCost #BusinessGrowth #DecisionMaking

My first clients made 250x Return on Investment. Which is bad! We almost had to shut down the business. Most businesses fail because they are undervaluing what they do. Which is why you have to understand how to create value. A large chunk of your audience is willing to pay a small amount for knowledge. Some are willing to pay up to 10x more for you to help accelerate their progress by giving them a proven system + feedback. A tiny percentage will pay you an additional 5-10x more to just do it for them so that they save time and get a guaranteed result. Your job is to pick ONE offer, figure out who it's for and get it to them. Charge for the level of value you create.

You shouldn't start big even if you have big funds. A lot of people delay starting a business, reason being they need huge funds at the beginning but get caught up with reality. ‼ A large investment doesn’t guarantee immediate success Even with significant funds, scaling a business from start is super challenging What if the market does not respond as expected? Building a customer base and gaining brand trust typically takes time. Not a matter of weeks or months, it's a matter of years. ‼You need to go through the learning face: - understanding the market, - customers behaviour, - refining business strategies, - Establishing efficient systems - managing cash flow and adapting to feedback. It takes time to have good knowledge of the above _______________________ Hey, I’m Kahbit.

Goals and objectives - Begin with the end in mind As the year comes to an end, setting goals and objectives for the new year is a crucial step for the continued growth and success of any business. The goal for any business investment must be the achievement of an appropriate (ideally maximum or optimum) return relative to outlay and risk. Such goals must be consistent with the business vision and be underpinned by a set of objectives and end benefits. Objectives ought to be determined by considering the drivers for change, thereby giving a cause-and-effect relationship. For success, goals and objectives need to be clearly defined with a properly planned route to reach them, milestones along the way to mark progress, and criteria / targets against which to report success. The goals and objectives set at portfolio, program and project levels are different in scope, specificity and alignment. Portfolio goals … high-level, long-term and strategic. They reflect the vision, mission and values of the organization. The objectives of a portfolio must be measurable, time-bound and achievable. They define the expected outcomes and benefits of the portfolio. Program goals … intermediate, medium-term and operational. They support the goals of the portfolio and address a specific business need or opportunity. The objectives of a program must be specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-bound (SMART). They define the scope, deliverables and performance indicators of the program. Project goals … lower-level, short-term and tactical. They contribute to the objectives of the program and/or address a specific problem or requirement. The objectives of a project must also be SMART. They define the quality, cost and schedule of the project. When setting goals and objectives, avoid using ‘weasel words’ which are vague and ambiguous that can undermine clarity and commitment. These weaken your goals and objectives by making them unclear, unrealistic, or unmeasurable. Instead, use specific, concrete, and quantifiable language that clearly defines what you want to achieve, how you will achieve it, and when you will achieve it. By doing so, you will increase your chances of success and accountability. Whether goals and objectives are expressed in financial or non-financial terms, be S.M.A.R.T. #strategyalignment #benefitsrealisation #PMO #metricsmatter #betterbusinessoutcomes

The Strategy Pyramid provides a clear framework for understanding the connection between purpose, strategy, and execution. From mission and values at the top to measurable performance indicators at the bottom, this model helps guide an organization’s strategic planning and successful implementation. What resonates with me most is the emphasis on alignment across all levels. The difference between knowing the strategy and executing it comes down to how well these layers integrate with one another. Strategy is only as strong as its execution framework. In today’s fast-changing business landscape, where new technologies and regulations continuously shape industries, how are you ensuring your strategy doesn’t just live in theory but thrives in execution? #StrategyExecution #Leadership #StrategicPlanning #BusinessSuccess #OperationalExcellence 👍 Please like if it resonates with you. 🔥 Join the conversation! 💬 Share your thoughts below. 🔄 Reshare to inspire your network! 🌊 Let’s make an impact together!

True that..purpose, #strategy and execution ..all 3 are basic pillars for an organisation's success. It can never be either/or. One without others will lead to failure one way or the other.
