Access to resources is fundamental to getting things done.
Putting food on the table. Getting a job. Building an organisation. Raising a family. If you don’t have the right resources, it’s hard to get what you want.
But once you have the resources, the challenge is to prevent misuse and waste.
Too many people in an organisation rarely mean high productivity. And, the chances of you overpaying for something is much more when you have big savings, compared to when you don’t have any.
There is nothing like an ‘unlimited resource.’ Be it time, money, skills, network or people. You may not realise the limitations, but they almost always exist.
So that leads to two important questions.
How are you going to survive when you don’t have the resources you need?
And, if you are lucky enough to have the right resources, what are you going to do with them?
