Results Not Reasons

2 50

How long can you bear with someone would gives more reasons and less results, excuses from time to time, it doesn't matter how nice or accommodating you are, it'll be best you find someone else if you really have the intention of completing what you're doing. A job would never get done in due time if the people aren't time conscious and competent for the task, this is what an employer would be looking out for, can you do the job and can you deliver results as at when needed, delivering results timely comes with competence level, the better you are the more timely you are., late coming is the abnormality here.

This is mostly the case with family business, because there are more security and assurances they most likely can be comfortable. Ideas are rarely jointly formed, most times it's one man doing the thinking or having the passion to start this up, so when people start joining in the level of interest to the idea would differ, some would want it more than you do, some would not want it as much as you do and may be there on lesser passion and more for the gain, however it's all hidden intentions so you may not be able to determine, the best one can do is to protect what he has selfishly.

By selfishly I mean to guard it with all intentions, we don't allow just anyone come and do with our start ups how they like, it doesn't matter how established the business is, it doesn't matter If we're still young or older in the business, we wouldn't allow anyone do with it how they like. So let them go earn their stay, we can always attain higher positions, contentment are not the trait of a successful business person, he or she always wants more and so keep going after more, the people we are working with are to assist in the bringing of more, but if they are not capable of bringing more how can you then see more.

For someone who wouldn't work to improve his skills, for someone who is lazy to gain competence, for someone who always give excuses and rarely any results, how much kindness can you tolerate, its good to be good but not when there are deadly risk attached. Some people are regretting their stand today and it's all because they could have prevented it early but were too compassionate or scared to do it. Your ideas, your job, your enterprise is a serious business don't let anyone take it for less.

You know one of the major fear with good people is thinking God would be angry but stopping someone else from gaining on you, but I believe God is not like that, for a fact on many occasions we have seen how the bible values diligence and competence, "see there a man diligent in his business, he shall stand before kings and not before ordinary men" it's there in the bible as well as "study to show yourself approved, a workman needs not to be ashamed rightly dividing the words of truth" there again in our holy book, so what excuse would anyone have to be slothful with business.

Corrections are for an appointed time, if you keep correcting overtime it becomes expected and taking at levity., from correction to punishment and to final act of punishment, you're into a serious business and so it's for serious minded people only. It's fine if they don't have the same great passion for the task as you do, ofcourse not everyone would, however it won't be okay when they start taking the work for a job and working as will, you could very much see years of sweats and toiling go down in smoke causes of their actions, just then they leave for another job cause they must eat and get money, and then blame you for poor management.

Likewise for areas of our personal lives, where we've allowed just anyone to come in and do as they please, we must take ourselves as the most serious business, we must care for ourselves much more cause no one else would. We must be careful who we let in and be ready to correct any wrong choices we could have made unapologetically. Be good but being too nice might raise issues, most times we care too much for people who wouldn't give a second thought on letting go of you, be careful out there, stop accepting sneaky reasons and go more for those who bring healthy results.

Don't regret in the future what you can stop now, its isn't bad to do the right thing even when it hurts someone, doing the right thing is good in the sight of God and so your conscience should be cleared, everyone should show dedication and interest for what they are doing and for the place they occupy in your heart, continue to accept apologize and excuses and soon you may be left in a corner so hard to come out all because of someone else, be it family or friends even spouse every must be competent enough for a position, no wonder some people won't give a sensitive position to their children even when its their company. Position should be earned on the basis of competence and diligence.

Thanks for reading, go more for results than reasons (excuses).

I like how you used the term ‘selfishly’ in a positive way. I totally agree. Since it is a family business, and maybe others have inside jobs, if you think you are at the right side and others are not, you must be selfish in order to guard or to protect the dignity of your business.

Well said jstjrld, it's so true, we've got to act selfishly at times, some situations demands it.
