Taking a Glance on “Emotionally Charged Learning” by Eric Schiffer
Posted on Thursday, January 26th, 2012 at 8:06 pmAs remarked by the famous bestselling author, Bob Nelson, the “Emotionally Charged Learning” book by Eric Schiffer can help any aspiring businessman prepare to open his mind to new possibilities. With that said, starting a business from scratch basically requires a person to take time analyzing things like ‘what could be’ and ‘what should be’ rather than depending on his anticipation and guts. It also follows that a newcomer in business should learn how to analyze the possible options out of the given resources and opportunities.
The world of business is a complex environment where the rule ‘survival of the fittest’ basically applies. This explains why a person who wants to enter this world should arm himself with the sufficient preparation for the hardships associated with putting up a business. In most cases, it is more important for an aspiring businessman to pay attention on the things that will help him construct a reliable platform for his business. Such step is not as simple as assembling an armchair or building a tower of Lego pieces. Instead, one should invest first on the education he needs to make the said construction. Just like engineers and architects, there must be a blueprint for every project. In the world of business, that blueprint is in the form of a feasibility study. Highly respected business leader, Eric Schiffer, discussed on his book that a feasibility study is a means of exploring the possibilities on all aspects of business. To become a successful businessman, one needs to learn and apply the necessary skills and mindset when analyzing each of these possibilities. In that book, one can also learn how to use a feasibility study to determine whether the plans a person has in mind is realistic enough or not.
Another important discussion on the “Emotionally Charged Learning” is regarding the important things that make an effective business owner. Once a businessman has established the foundation for his business, he still needs to take tremendous efforts and wise decision-making processes for the further steps. One of the most important aspects of a business plan is the target market, which should also be considered when having a feasibility study. The said book includes a comprehensive discussion on how to choose a target market, how to introduce the business to the target market, and how to survive the competition for the target market. Additionally, Eric Schiffer concluded on his book that owning a business is a continuous learning process and every aspiring businessman should be willing to accept it.
