STRATEGIC ALLIANCE: THE WAY TO SUCCESS

Alicia — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 10:29:04 +0000

In my journey of interviewing top CEOs for my book “Journey of Leadership” which is available in the bookstore, I realize that their journey has been a rocky one full of challenges albeit opportunities. Opportunities are everywhere but what is our focus. There is a tendency to grab hold of anything that comes our way.

One main key I discovered is “Focus” and one entrepreneur Mr. Peter Liong of Matsushita Greatwall Industries has this to say to his readers: “The whole problem with Asian business is that they do not focus on one business.” He is one man I admire – full of passion, integrity, caring, full of confidence in what he does with one focus in mind: The Company must make money.

He believed in building strategic alliance with companies who have a large retail community like Courts & Robinsons besides his network of dealers. It is through building strategic alliances with Courts and Robinson that his business grows in leaps and bounds which eventually lead to large volume of profits and today he is the leader of mattress industry.

George Keely quotes strategic alliance as a cooperative arrangement between two or more companies where a common business strategy and goals are established by all parties, each party sharing specific strengths with the other, lending power to the venture, and resources, capital and ricks are pooled for mutual (rather than individual) gain.

The number of strategic alliances is surging and in USA nearly 6% of the revenue generated from top 1000 U.S. companies now comes from alliances, a four -fold increase since 1987. People with strategic alliances achieve a higher return on investment. Alliances have also shown a greater success rate.

At the end of the day all entrepreneurs of big and small enterprises need to increase their bottomline to sustain their business and to give room for expansion. Strategic Alliances also provides platform for value added programs and service to customers, affinity to marketing partners, help generate maximum potential return, drive customers to your sites and general membership, cost savings, value added service and bottom line results.

If you are interested to build Strategic Alliance and be part of our community please call Alicia at 91154075 or email elisher2007@yahoo.com.sg or perhaps attend our monthly Strategic Alliance Seminars. We meet every third Thursday of the month at 6.30 p.m. at no. 79 Neil Road. Please log in to our site www.yourchoicemag.com/strategicalliance

Many Aspire Few Attain

Why do many aspire few attain? It’s all in your thoughts. You can accomplish more than you think you can but only if you think you can.

What is the key to success? It’s in the power of your mind.

Earl Nightingale, the great success writer says the key to success is just six words.

“We become what we think about”. Nightingale has found out that all the great writers, philosophers and religious leaders have agreed on the power of thought and belief in creating our results.Napoleon Hill said, “What the mind conceive and believe, the mind can achieve.”

The Bible contains numerous references to the power of our thoughts, “According to your faith be it unto you. As a man thinketh in his heart so is he” and “if you can believe all things are possible.”

Wayne Dyer summed up this philosophy in his book, “You’ll see it when you believe it”. The believing must come first. Only then can you produce the tangible results of what you believe.

Henry Ford summarized this in one sentence: “Whether you think you can or think you can’t you’re right.”

Let’s reflect for a moment: If you are now earning $30,000 a year and intently focus on earning $50,000 a year, you will find a way to eventually bring yourself to achieve this goal isn’t it? If you are set to sell advertising space worth $40,000 per issue then you will make every concerted effort to achieve this otherwise you will never make the mark. But it must first start with your belief that whatever you set to do, you will certainly achieve success. Faith is be sure of what your hope is and certain of what you cannot see.

According to Dr. Denise Waitley, a motivational expert, there is a power within each of us that propels us in the direction of our dominant thoughts. The key word here is “dominant.” You cannot expect successful results when you spend ten seconds a day thinking positively and the remaining 16 waking hours dwelling on negative outcomes.

You must take control of your mental activity and think positively throughout each and every day until it becomes a habit. After you conquer your mind and fill it with positive thoughts, the next thing you have to do is to act.

Faith without action is dead.
