“ Story Of a Maharashtrian Businessman”
By the way it applies to all Businessman in India and Abroad, which I Realized much later.
Long Long Ago, some 14 years back, There was a Young Maharashtrian Boy. He came from a Middle class family. Not Very rich, however very enthusiastic and wanted to “Do something BIG” wanted to start a Business.
He dint have much Money , as his father was in service, and could hardly save much, as the Boy’s education itself was paid with loans.
The Boy wanted to start a Business. Many people told him not to do so, Warned him of many pitfalls, But the Boy had the Fire in his eyes and Ideas in his mind.
The Dream Starts !!
Can you imagine and attempt to Build a 40 ft Sailboat without enough Money, No Plans and little or No Skill?, Can you imagine how hazardous that experience will be?
Would it not be even more insane to try to live on the boat at the same time?
Yet So many people start a Business with a dream to build this 40Ft long Boat and sailing at the same time.
Will you jump into a Leaky Boat?, with lots of Holes, with not enough Food and no provisions, No experience and then Head out in the sea ? The result is going to be disastrous and frustrating.
Still many people do it..
Not knowing much of the Business, However Knowing little bit of the Theoretical knowledge and some practical. The Idea is So appealing- To have your own Business, where you are responsible for all your decisions. The adventure begins.
No Body to BOSS Around, that’s good enough reason to get excited.
To Make Lots of Money and keep everything to yourself, You don’t work for somebody else, And if you were working, your Boss was making all the money.
Because of you, so now you wanted to start your own.
Yes, there will be hard work, more hours of working than 8 hours, but you have a vision. Enthusiasm and the energy.
You have enough money to start a Office and the skills to serve your customer. You are good at what you do. What more is required?
So once you start Your Boat, with the breeze , sails will carry you, money will come and then you will take it from there.
Now Your So called Business opened, and the pressures in real life started gradually.
First it was long hours of work, and then the novelty started to wear off, You got tired because there was more to do than anticipated.
Second Your Spouse and kids started to complain.
Next , there is not much money coming from the business what you expected and the Bills are pilling up. What to do? You need more Material inventory also to stock.
The Margins are very low, and you have to sell with wafer thin margins to sell at all. More advertising is required as the BIG shop next door is spending big money on advertisements.
You need more Employees to service better, Better Infrastructure and Better looks.
You have lots of Ideas, how you can grow your business, however ideas costs money. And for that you need more sales, and more money. That’s a catch 22 situation.
Then comes your First Mistake
Somebody suggests you take a Loan from the Bank. Take a OD. That’s Perfect.
You can get new Material, spend on Advertisements and new equipment also. And you can also afford the installments of the loan. As with this Investment, your earnings are also going to grow.
Why dint you think of that before?
But wait, The Banks wants a Mortgage. A House or some FD, Your Spouse is skeptical, However you are convinced about the idea. Things are getting a little out of hand now. Sales have to increase.
So you get the Loan.
Sales and services do improve and increase, But not as much as you want !!, You can’t keep working for so many hours anymore. You have to employ more employees for the work. Also customers are complaining about the service.
You should give good service.
You have More pressure coming up on the Money front. The profits have not gone up as expected, and the Installments are getting a bit stretched. And some Good customers don’t pay up when exactly you need it the most. I don’t know why it happens like that. Some even don’t pay. !!
Second Mistake: then suddenly a Tax man comes to collect some sales tax, or cess or VAT. With hardly any money left, you need to settle the “Accounts”
Otherwise you are in deep trouble.
3rd Mistake : Now you have to pay the bank the Installments and the employees. So you take a Higher interest Loan as the Bank is not ready to give you more loans. So at 2% or More you take Loans from the Local Marwadi.
But he asks for Some Land or Gold. Father is not very happy with the going, however, He signs the papers. You may even sell some land which you had since your Generations, which was useless all these years, fetch some good price.
For few days the problem was solved. However then you realized that the Biggest ever order which you had got, was rejected or the customer Closed down.
Now You don’t know what to do !!
No support from the family, and people are laughing at your situation.
Wife starts to work part time to support. More tensions at Home. Children are growing. Fees increasing, Petrol prices and vegetable are expensive. Diwali and school fees are on your head.
You don’t know what to do.!!
Now the Fire in the eyes have diminished. A sad look comes to your face.
You stop going to family functions and marriages as there people will ask about your business. Also you will need to give gifts.
And maybe 80 % of Businesses close down.
Back to Service , and you have lost so many years.
Would it make a difference if you were a management student?
What anybody else would have done in this situation?
You did all what was possible.
You can’t think of anything else. How can anybody help you ?
Is this some what similar to your life story? Or a little better than that? Your company is still not closed down, however you would like it to do much better.
You know the potential of the products and the services, However, you are not able to Implement the ideas you have, or the ideas have not been very successful as you would have liked it to be?
You want your company should get the BIG Order from some Multi national company, with good 50% advance where you don’t have to invest !!
You would like some big order, which will have good profit Margin, and good and timely payment terms !!
How about some 2-3 companies which will give continuous orders for your Product or Service ?
How about more and more customers come your way and pay you good Money without negotiating too much?
Did you wish that the Stock Market should keep on going up? And there are no strikes and “Bank Holidays”
Do you want a never ending leads of customers which you can follow up for business?
Great, That’s the thing what you and I want, isn’t it? That’s the dream situation for most of us. Is that true ? You bet.
Let me ask you a question..
Can you give me one “Strong Valid Reason” Why this should happen to you and your company, without any reason? ( the dream orders I mean !!)
Why You?
Do you have the strong reason? If not ( as most of us only dream of such things)
So if you don’t have a strong reason, Then You need to have one.
Life and Business can be much better than what you are living right now.
You need Some GOOD inputs, Good Low expense Ideas and High return sales.
You need “The Profitable Business Operating SYSTEM”
