How I do things

Sharing how I do things.

Do things like a startup do things

There’s a handful of things to learn from how startups operate, amongst it is being lean. Minimalise consumption of limited resources (time, energy, etc.) whilst executing things, as resources saved from unnecessary consumption can be allocated to other things. Do more with as little as you can. To achieve this, various techniques can be implemented - elimination, automation, and delegation - which you can learn more from this YouTube video.

Another aspect you can learn is emphasis on future returns. Your actions today, must result in as much returns in the future as possible. Locate opportunities that maximises returns. Be efficient.

Prioritise on your vision. The action you take must be aligned to your vision, in whatever way or time. The future is determined by your present, therefore if you want a favourable future, you must do what favours the future you want.

Apply the risk management process

The risk management process is Dr David Hillson’s simplification of techniques used in risk management. Risk is defined as uncertainty that matters - it also includes opportunities. In risk management, you mitigate risks, and exploit opportunties. It consists of only six steps:

• 1- What’s the objective? -> Set clear objectives.
• 2- What affects the objective? -> Bring yourself to the future, and imagine the risks and opportunities that may be present.
• 3- What’s important? -> Filter the risks according to its importance.
• 4- What should be done? -> What can you do to mitigate the potential risks.
• 5- Did it work? -> After you execute the strategy, reflect the outcome. Make adjustments if necessary.
• 6- What changed? -> Reflect what changed, how effective were your strategy?

Applying the risk management process ensures you achieve the objectives you set, no matter what obstacles will prevail.
