Why small actions are more powerful than big ideas
We've all heard "dream big" and "shoot for the stars" - but is vision alone enough to succeed? What's the missing ingredient that separates dreamers from achievers? Zaffar Khan explains how action is the most important thing.
Zaffar Khan is the Corporate Strategist for Cocoon SDA Care. Cocoon SDA Care delivers personalised care to help people with disabilities live with greater independence, safety, and an improved quality of life.
In this episode, Zaffar lays bare his entire career journey from driving taxis and how that led to his neighbours calling the police to his first business, to bankruptcy, before rebuilding and branching into other businesses. He discusses how those experiences influenced his business philosophy, how he empowers his staff while maintaining accountability, and why vague goals like "becoming a millionaire" are wrong for budding entrepreneurs.
