From the idea to group dynamics.

The concept of business is easy. You get a bright idea,


do the paper work and proceed. Think again. To this point it is easily monitored. You feel you can back away at any time.


How ever now you begin to get involved. Effectively the business is your baby. Your emotions, wishes, visions and motivations came into play. The world could be your oyster.



Your friends and associates are aware of what you are trying to do. You learn what I was told:” Just remember that in business there are no friends”.People you may associate with, work along side of, support through their trials…as long as your business doe not suffer. After all you are in the business world to keep afloat. To be financial your business needs to make money. What you perceive as enough, what others want you to have are two different things.


The stakeholders have an idea that they are the ones you will be financially supporting. having shareholders has a responsibility to make a profit thaty then is distrubted back to its shareholders. The Taxation Department want the 'lions' share anyway. The community lean on you to provide cash for this or that. Your friends and family believe that you have an undeniable fountain of cash trickling into your vault. Behind this all you yourself want to be paid too.



Find a mentor. Learn, read, discuss and do from your mentor. Mentoring is an old way of “placing old head on young shoulders”. Guilds and trades people have had these mentoring groups for centuries. Historically families used to absorb the children’s prospective / marriage partner and the in laws would teach the new member of the family the family groups dynamics, what methodology worked with whom, where the boundaries were, traditions and their part to play within that family and community group.

Today family groups are splintering. Other systems of learning and support have been created. Fore filing niches and needs as they arise. Many social networking groups have Mentor groups. Associated with Girl Guides Victoria is the “Women of Note” group.



Each formal or informal system has its own diverse individuality. That organisations dynamics fulfilling the human needs from survival to achievement. If that organisation does not give the consumers the knowledge of how it is fulfilling those needs then the people move on. Simply finding another organisation.
