Experts Views on the Value of Business

Chuck Blakeman started seven businesses on four continents but he feels the traditional business plan is a waist of time.  Blakeman spoke about rehumanizing business by giving everyone their brain back; he has a no-nonsense approach to life and business.  He is the type to help you unlearned everything learned about business then rebuilds you up with great information.  He not only wants to transform your business but also your life.  Even though Blakeman has an unconventional way of thing I agree with him on a certain level. I do know some people will spend months almost years trying to perfect their business plan in retrospect if that time was applied directly to the business the business would be up and running by now.  However on the other hand, I do think an entrepreneur needs some sort of guide to follow. How successful can a person be if they just wing it all?

Carl Schramm is currently a professor at Syracuse University; he also serves as a visiting scientist at MIT and a member of the Council on Foreign Relations. (Thinkbrg.org, 2016).   Even though Carl Schramm is an educator is views on entrepreneur are not textbook.  He believes sticking to a traditional business plan is a waist of time because business plans quickly expires.  Everything does not need to be exact according to him, being exact is being redundant and being redundant is being normal.  Some characteristics of an entrepreneur according to Carl Schramm are: they think in terms of disruption, and are often thought to be disruptive by the change-averse: They see things differently, considering untraditional forces that others did not see.

It’s a little funny to me how I pick to men who think unconventional, like myself.  Yes, I believe everyone needs a foundation and guidance however textbooks often go out of date with information so why solely rely on textbooks for information and a blue print?
