Big Picture Easy, Execution Messy

It’s easy to see the big picture, really. Read some relevant books, read some articles posted online, read some forum reviews or experience sharing by people in the industry. And almost everyone can become a consultant. Just look at the big picture, spot the obvious gaps, and…yak. Talk is cheap. Execution is what brings in the money. But Execution is messy. There are legacy issues. There are stubborn mindsets. There are cemented SOPs. There are undecipherable data.

You’d immediately recognise a good book especially when there are gems found in the very first page.  (This book also made it into my top copywriting books, more at ‘ Resources That All Successful Copywriters Use ‘ ) And so this blog post was born! So back to Darwin’s theory of evolution and your business… A little background to Darwin’s theory of evolution. So as a young and curious lad, Darwin was incredibly observant of nature and its players. On one of his extended travels, he collected specimens from the different places he visited (I suspected wanderlust). As he was unpacking and admiring his souvenirs, he noticed similarities and was intrigued by these discoveries. Thus began his conception and study of natural selection. In a single sentence, natural selection is the theory that evolution is d...
