You have a business idea and you feel that the idea is so strong that it will surely be successful. You did some market analysis, some calculations and prepared a future platform for yourself by researching the pros and cons of that idea daily, right? Some kind of ideas like this keep coming in the mind of almost every person and all those people want to see the result of that idea in reality as they have seen in their mind, but not all people are able to use it in reality the way they are able to do it in their mind. Basically, there are 2 types of people-
In the context of business growth, understanding the balance between execution and planning is crucial, particularly in a landscape defined by challenges in 2025. This brings us to the concept of Execution vs Planning 2025, highlighting the importance of both strategies in achieving success.
1st. Those who try to give maximum perfection to an idea and keep on scribbling a lot in their notebook instead of taking action and doing practical experiments and
2nd. Those who believe that only by making mistakes one can reach the right destination and that practical knowledge is more important than theoretical knowledge therefore the more they learn the more they execute it.
“Whose idea do you think will perform? (Definitely the 2nd one) and which category do you fall in?”
Why execution is more important than planning?
Understanding Execution vs Planning 2025
Because this is 2025, not 2015. With technology growing at lightning speed, planning is no longer enough. Planning is like making a road map. It looks neat on paper but in today’s world, roads change every day. So, if you spend all your time planning, by the time you are ready, people will have moved on far ahead.
Reason is – Artificial intelligence, Remote Work and Automation.
If you want to make your future safe, then you will have to go with the times in any condition. Because in 2025 and the times to come, there are opportunities equal to fast-moving buses. If you delay boarding the bus, the bus will leave without asking you. “Never count the steps before climbing or worry about the seat, just climb.”
Keep in your mind: Small Plan → Execute → Learn → Adjust → Repeat.
Note 1: Create the right plan/strategy in less time with the help of AI tools and start executing that plan/strategy without wasting a single minute.
Note 2: The world has a huge population, so whatever you start and wherever you start, there is a 100% chance that some people will be influenced by your work.
Note 3: Everything from the worst to the best will be forgotten in today’s time because there are a large number of audiences of all types.
Why execution feels unsafe?
Because we’ve been looking for comfort in everything since the beginning, we subconsciously can’t accept discomfort. Execution essentially means entering an uncomfortable zone, which sounds unsafe and is practically unsafe also
“Planning is a trap: Too much planning means delaying action. While planning and strategizing, we think we are moving forward, but we are not; we remain stuck in the same trap.”
Solution:
- Put your ego (I know everything) aside and put your idea into practice in the field, and you’ll discover the truth.
- Whenever you feel uncomfortable in the field, be sure to ask yourself, “Is execution the most important thing?”
- You’ll definitely get a “yes” answer. Then, start following the 80/20 (Pareto Principle) rule.
What is the rule of 80/20 (Pareto Principle)?
An easy way to do anything better, you’ll be delighted when you learn about it. The 80/20 rule divides your Planning and Execution into two parts: –
In the initial stage:
Spend 80% of your time in listening, understanding, and planning, and the remaining 20% executing what you’ve heard, understood, and planned.
In the experienced stage:
When you feel you’ve become more knowledgeable, spend 20% listening, understanding, and planning, and the remaining 80% focusing on executing.
Why 80/20 rule (Pareto Principle)?
- Focus: You realize that it’s not necessary to do everything; only the things that will have the greatest impact.
- Speed: In the fast-paced world of 2025, slow implementation means lost opportunities. So, with the 80/20 rule, you can start building speed.
- Energy: You focus your energy on the 20% of tasks that deliver 80% of the results, and you can do the other small things later.
- Confidence: When you achieve big results through small actions, you develop the confidence of “I can do this.”
