Be the Solution, Not the Problem

One of My Mentor told me that an entrepreneur has to be a part of solution not the problem. What a great advise!

To be the part of solution you first have to understand the problems clearly. Being a CEO, I also used to take care of logistics part as and when required. In logistics part there are possibilities of many problems due to various other factors, you have to strengthen your delivery system to combat those problems. Especially in a business like AgriTech and Agri Inputs, it’s the logistics too that can add a significant value proposition.

It’s common for an early stage startup team not just an entrepreneur, but the entire team to perform multi tasking, might not be purposefully, but it demands. I used to perform the role of Field Officer, Tele Support, Agronomist, etc,. Each roles and jobs add key value about your brand in customer perspective. Becoming the part of the value chain, it gives you the knowledge and power to understand the problems associated with each one of it. This will help us to come up with innovative solutions.

Your business success, not just depends on your product or service. You might have best product, but it’s also very important how that value served to the customer that it solves their problem. That’s where you can create a lot of difference. And as my mentor advised, you can be a part of solution.
