“The root of great companies is make meaning vs. make money.” – Guy Kawasaki.
The first time I hear the name of Guy Kawasaki, I don’t have any idea who is he and what his contribution in terms of techno businesses. I don’t even familiar dependently on his name; to cut a long story, he is just nothing to me at first. Throughout the video we’ve seen, I was pretty amazed on the short speech he had concerning on the issue of“making meaning in the field of Technopreneurship”. Guy focuses his speech on fundamentals of making meaning in every aspects of life.
Guy Kawasaki according to the blog I have read that he is down to earth, honest guy and a respected venture catalyst and ones one of the software architect under Steve Jobs inside the Apple Corporation. Looking through the course of the video he had, he was talking about business, life, and other stuffs as well. He brings to life and does revelations on how the successful companies are born and how they managed the stability they were go through. So much for that, here are the learning’s and the things I comprehend I’ve met when I hear his inspirational words in relation to techno related businesses.
I was perfectly surprised when he said that in terms of creating business, it is not only provoking money but rather the great essence of making meaning first. He concentrated on the things that will help how to achieve the core viewpoint of technology-based businesses. While listening on the message, there are some phases which I like so much on his short oration and which serve as an inspiration to me to strive harder. First, “the essence of technology –based businesses is being me.” I learned that in making a business must start in individuals’ heart. This is just the one of the reasons why a business last a long time. The core of this matter is that whatever business you are planning to have for, set your heart and spirit unto it. Make it as a motivation and a way of dedication and make a strong commitment to develop business as much as possible. Second,“change the world by making meaning”. As we all know, the earth’s revolution revolves on a very fast changes and innovations; this only signifies that humankind is knowledgeable enough to consider things to modernize to help bring variations on the place we are currently living with. Based on Guy Kawasaki’s message, I comprehend that the changes that we are experiencing now is caused by the creation of meanings of anything. I cultured that making meaning in everything we do makes a single changes on our world and as well as on the things that interconnected to us each days of our lives. A single change of a thing might bring alterations, improvements and advancement on our lives. Third, “formulate motivations and be productive”. As what Guy Kawasaki said, a motivation is the art of the start. In businesses and even as in life, building motivation will help you generate things as easy as it should be. These motivations will set as an inspiration to start something new and be rationalizing to consider things ahead. All of the motivations you’ll have will serve as a living rationale, aim or goal to finish something that is successful. Through this, you motivate and encourage yourself to continue what you have started to work and give your effort with. And also, motivations will never be effective when you worked with alone; PRODUCTIVITY works too. Some people got problems when they were got to find motivation without looking through to other facet that will probably help. Being productive is setting yourself to be efficient ones in each of everything you do. You must be comprehensive to yield harder and harder and be competitive as much as possible. Productivity as well comprises the positions of being well-organized person, effective and resourceful ones. Through all of these, you’ll see that changes will come along longer than what you have expected. Setting prioritiestoo might help so, priorities that you think will help you to accommodate and build an effective and efficient business as much as possible. Because when you start motivating and provoking productivity on a thing, surprises will just come. Lastly, “make a meaning is like making money”. I looked at this phrase as a weird one at first, what wring to me is that I’d don’t seen straightforwardly what’s the real, bona fide meaning of it. But suddenly, I was fascinated that it really does. I come to realized that making meaning on the things on the first lace will make you cross to the thing that was never you expected. It’s just simply like taking risk and just be surprised to the accomplishments that go over your way. Guy was really right when he says that words, he is apparently précised that it really leads the way to have what you are planning to have with. I was convinced and persuaded when I seen what he got right now when he used the tactic of making meaning. The word of Guy Kawasaki only implies that in every step we make, we should make meaning first. We should be devoted, dedicated and enthusiastic to make meaning, sense, and significance on a thing. We can only apply it when we are interested on the things we are looking at and working with. Through the inspiration we have felt, we can apparently and directly be make importance on the things both simple and complicated. Most of all, when you start making meaning on things; you will just be surprised that money will just come directly in your way. It was really true that everything will come along the way when you set the things properly on the first place. Obviously, all of the things will come suddenly across your way.
Along the short sharing made by Guy Kawasaki, he specified the three essential cores for continue converging meaning to a thing and to endure long term communication with the technology to lasts long. The following cores are as follows.
Increase the quality of life. Primarily, the essence of providing upsurge quality of life is to promote a long term existence of an individual. By the used of those innovated technology, people were also enable to increase the status of their living, not just in an often times but as possible in a long term process of augment. The idea of this core is to have a great responsibility of the IT related people to employ and deploy things that could greatly affect and help endorse new innovations to mankind. And also the purpose of increasing the quality of life is to live people in a most convenient life. By then, you can only make this thing when a strong dedication to a thing is applied so.
Right a wrong. This essential core focuses on the act of making wrong things right. The responsibility says that in promoting new technologies to the society, there must be a helpful factor which enables give changes to the nation as well as in the daily routine of an individual. There must be a reason why everything is making impossible. There are so many opportunities along the way just to answer the needs of the people. What’s Guy Kawasaki wanted to say is that any person who has the capability to do something should consider the possible things that could make the existing wrong to be a right one, and lastly;
Prevent the end of something good. As we all know, many things have already been change and innovated. So, to make it simple; the thought of Guy here is to avoid the possible endings of something good. This is just the living proof that there is no reason why we should stop the ideas of making differences to the world. Instead, by provoking preventions of any endings of something good will send us up to the new success. Guy Kawasaki only emphasizes that in everything we do and we think it as a very useful one and no reason to end those things, so it’s the time to apply changes and make it enhanced more and more and is as useful as if a man can’t live without it.
The three factors that are stated above is just some of the living core that might apply to the innovation and advancement to technology. I can say that Guy Kawasaki got what he have right now is the product of all his perseverance and dedication to his work. I have read an article in the internet that talks about the learnings that Guy Kawasaki had given to his followers. The article provides the collection of lessons learned from Guy. According to the site of sourcesofinsight.com, the provided lists of learnings are based on his blogs, video clips that gives encouragements and some presentations. Here are some of it.
Make meaning first over money. According to Guy, when you focus on earning money then you’ll definitely in a wrong way or in a wrong thing. What’s the idea is the needs of an individual to mean something to the world and to the mankind.
Know what you want your life to be about. The idea of Guy is to consider the mantra of an individual because you can only apply things and do changes when its inline to whom you really are and what you really want you life to be about. Following the one self’s intonation marks a great worth to start something new. It’s the matter of refining ourselves and knows who really are.
Be unique and valuable. In business terms, if you’re not unique, you’re competing on price. Obviously, you can never have the right to be proud of something because you are not unique. It’s just the same as the act of “COPY AND PASTE” that does not actually yours. Uniqueness is not enough in techno businesses; you also need to profound the thought of being valuable of something. This means that you need to be capable of being precious over to someone else and act as an important one.
Smile, it’s contagious. Guy Kawasaki ones said, “Life is good.” I see it as an inspiration especially like me whom involves in the world of technology and a new bloomer as well. We make problems solved as possible. Guy only says that there is a right time for being serious and a right time of being in a joyful times. The initiative is taking our self seriously, but not too seriously.
Make it personal. Signifies that we should act personalize and not to generalize. Instead of thinking things about shifting things as possible, why not rather make a meaning to a things and make it real and applicable and relevant to the large number of person as conceivable.
Success is a numbers game. It is really true that success specifies numbers games. Its just the matter of playing the probabilities that might be able to exist. Its explains the idea of “try and try until you succeed”. Personally, I do believe that one try is never enough to be an expert of something. Its just the same as making an expertise of something, you can’t be able to be an expert ones when you don’t undergone several practice to that expertise. The same as in success, it’s a matter of gaming bets that acquires string faith and capabilities.
Align your interests. I remember ones what we had in Technoprenuership 1, it talks about what we like and love the most. So apparently, its just the same as of interests. Each of us has a unique interest and we are capable to stress it out. What’s the importance is we are able to know what those are and be able to have to set alignments of those interests, lastly;
It’s about the experience. Maybe all of us are very familiar with the words of “Learn from your experience”. The though only implies that we must not allow discriminations come to our way when we fall instead make those experiences as a key to stand again. Also in life, we can only say that we are contented when we make the most of every experience we have and live our life to the fullest. As long as we have life, don’t stop creating ways and sharing engaging experiences to others. Make those experiences as a tool of making you live upright.
