BOB PROCTOR, an American author and speaker, says: 2% of the people think, 3% think they think and 95% would rather die than think. Our own Zimbabwean brand, Arthur Evans has proved to be in the 2% bracket of people that really think.
He received a MegaFest Business Award in the category of the great business mind of the year 2013. He is the leader of Techno Expert Construction in Bulawayo. Success life had to track him to tap from the wealth of his wit and here are the nuggets of what he said:
JN: As a business leader, what keeps you on the competitive edge?
AE: It’s our perception of the market and trying to organise business in a cutting edge sort of a situation whereby you realise your competitions and trying to foresee where they are going where you want to go. In that way you get an idea of the ambit of the whole situation.
JN: Rome was never built in a day, and so business. How did you grow from the start until you where honoured by Mega Fest?
AE: We started from very small beginnings and I think because of the quality of the work we produced on that small job there was word of mouth propagation and we started getting more invitations for more jobs and we got bigger and bigger. I had to find means and ways of acquiring or hiring equipment to do those jobs and that way the finances improved therefore able to start to buy capital goods for the work and it carried on
JN: How does a person control and separate mere mental activity and proper thinking?
AE: One has to have a vision and ambition to execute what will be beneficial to them and other people. You can’t work on the basis of people’s thought about you.or any other way, but you must have a desire and the will not to fail. One should also seek for help from sources that are proven.
