Must I follow preset rules to be successful in business?

[Joy123]

Most times yes, but sometimes no because there are so many things to be considered in opening or starting a business, eg, good knowledge of the terrain, political situation of the area to which the business is located, forces of demand and supply, the competition etc, as well as the business outlay itself.

 

[CeeJase]

Different business requires different methods and strategies, there is no standard rule or principle to follow to be successful In a business, though there are guidelines, since the business is your idea, definitely the ways to success will also be unique to you alone.

Business is all about pattern and business plan that must be followed to the latter in order for you to achieve the same result as the person who started the business before you so if you want to succeed in your business you must follow the same due process.

The preset rules are the rules in the business book that is meant to be followed in order to have a succesful business outcome , but if you can lay downyour own rule to follow , then you dont need to follow some rules in the book.

It is more like following a business plan that is supposed to guide you through how you are to execute the business successfully and become very good at it and which you must follow in order for you to succeed.

This is my first time hearing someone consider the political situation of the business location. If I may ask how does the political situation affect the business it self?

 

[Robust]

Yeah, if the present rules has connection with your type of business. One need get updated on things even in business so following those rules helps in marketing new and upcoming updated customers to patronize your businesses.

 

[Syldan]

Well, following precise rules and regulations in a business is very important but is not necessary. This depends on the kind of business you are running and the principles on how you have built to achieve you goals.

 

[btaliat]

There are rules for different businesses. Though there are also general rules for all businesses. We need to abide by these rules to be a successful bhsiness owners. But I don't think the rule the poster wrote bound all busineses or need to be followed to be a successful business owner.

 

[Heatman]

Before you started the business,they were rules you made to guide you and this rules measure your disciplinary level. Change is dynamic just as business is dynamic,if for any reasons the rules are to be changed,then it should moderate the business.

The one good thing about following rules is that it always gives you the same result when you apply it the way it is supposed to buy applied so if the rules supposed to get you success you are definitely getting it.

 

[CeeJase]

If you are actually still new to a business you will definitely don't have any choice but to follow the rules of that business if you want to have the same result of those that are into the business before you.

There is actually no laid-down procedure that is you will have to follow in order to be successful in business is not everybody would have done the same. It is also important that you should use what others have done as a guiding to you but not as a rule.

You have made a very good point. You can actually learn from the ideas and experiences of others without necessarily following the exact steps they took in their own line of business.

 

[Lucy ID]

Just like the saying Different strokes for different folks that how businesses are, they have different patterns, methods, rules and ways to go about it to succeed. That is when starting a business study about it and also have a mentor in that line it's makes it easier

 

[Psalmseen]

To really be a successful business owner, pretext applications aren't the same as life applications. You really need to learn from things that are happening around you from people that are there before you..

 

[Heatman]

It depends on the business you are into, what you must know is that before you have the vision of the business someone else have done it, and what makes him to be successful in it is the preset rules giving to follow in other for you not to struggle on your journey.

As far as I'm concerned every business has a pattern with which it's been operated and if you want to have a good result about the business you will always do exactly as you're supposed to in the business.

Who said so. Most successful businesses are successful because they deviated or did something out of the ordinary. There are basics you must follow though

You are right when you said that there are basics and foundations you have to follow. But you must also be innovative in order to stand out from other businesses around you.

 

[Psalmseen]

Not at all. It's not a must to follow any preset rules before you can be successful in a business. It's not a standard to measure success at all. Business is more of practical. You have to deal with it and see it for yourself what's in there

I totally agree with you. You deal on issues as they present themselves. Sometimes there are already known ways to tackle such issue, you just have to add your own creativity to it
