Choosing a career isn’t enough. You also need a roadmap for success

One of the most common reasons people fail at their job, their career, or their own business is an inability to handle administration. A successful career takes careful planning as well as a career training and education program.

In fact, according to the Small Business Administration Office of Advocacy, the latest statistics show that “new businesses have only a 50/50 chance of surviving for five years or more.”

Poor management is cited as the number one reason for failure.

Every entrepreneur and business person’s success depends on their knowledge of administration and management. The most brilliant retailer, doctor, engineer or artist won’t be successful without knowing how to handle things like personnel, marketing, sales, finances, quality control, and public relations. Either they have the know how to do these things themselves, or they have to hire people who do.

A business that offers a great product or service, an inventor with brilliant ideas, a scientist with a formula that can stop global warming, a doctor who develops a procedure that saves lives — all can fail without correct administrative policies and procedures.

Dreams don’t go up in smoke because there was something wrong with them or because the person with the dream just didn’t have what it took to make it. The failure lies in not knowing the right steps to take and the right time to take them.

That’s the power of administration. It’s the key to success. It makes dreams a reality.
