Achieve PACE: Take Charge of Your Life and Business

Have you got what it takes to be an entrepreneur? Entrepreneurs are known for their self-confidence, energy, flexibility and opportunism. They are accustomed to getting involved and expect positive results from their involvement. In other words, they are prepared to use energy and mental effort because they expect, and often receive, appropriate rewards.

The following 14 characteristics are often found amongst people who have successfully started a new venture: drive and energy; self-confidence; high initiative and personal responsibility; internal locus of control (that is, you believe your own behaviour determines what happens to you, more so than external influences); tolerance of ambiguity; low fear of failure; moderate risk-taking; prepared for long-term involvement; seeing money as a measure of success; not merely an end in itself; effective use of feedback; continuous pragmatic problem solving; effective use of resources; self-imposed standards; clear goal-setting.

Successful entrepreneurs have high internal locus of control. They believe that, to a large extent, what they do determines what happens to them – more so than chance or the actions of others. This is linked to the need for autonomy and personal independence expressed by many entrepreneurs as their prime motivation for setting up their own firms. Back to the question, “are you an entreprenuer?“

BEFORE the end of this year, the desire by citizens of West African countries to communicate by means of the Global System of Mobile Telecommunications may be realised. The dream is to be actualised through a synchronised network that can quicken access to the countries.

The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) announced in Abuja that two sub-groups had been set up by its technical branch on GSM Roaming to address the core issues of interconnectivity of regional networks and tariff harmonisation that will facilitate the introduction of a region-wide roaming facility in West Africa by December 2006.

Observers have often deplored the prevailing situation in the sub-region whereby it is easier to put a call by GSM to countries in Europe or America than access a line in a country in West Africa, despite the proximity.

According to the ECOWAS Secretariat, the first group would make proposals for strengthening trans-border interconnectivity to ensure the free flow of intra-community calls through improvements in telecommunications infrastructure. The second is expected to review the proposals already adopted by GSM operators on tariff harmonisation and billing.

Interestingly, leaders of the African Union (AU), at their recently concluded meeting, also adopted the report on the implementation of the project for the creation of a unified telecommunications numbering space for Africa.

ECOWAS Secretariat said yesterday in Abuja that the two groups have already approved actions plans indicating critical activities to be undertaken towards the realisation of the project, which was originally approved during the January 12th, 2006 29th Ordinary Summit of ECOWAS Heads of State and Government in Niamey.

Meanwhile, the technical group has also proposed some measures for implementation under a tripartite Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) involving member states, telecommunications regulators in the sub-region and GSM operators that will enhance the creation of an environment conducive for the realisation of the project.

I am not writing this not just as good advice, but as a mental note for myself. I have started realizing all the people around me, whether it’s family or strangers, who are “talkers”.

Talkers are those people that have great ideas or great intentions, but just never follow through 100% on their beliefs. I have been a talker many times in my life, whether it’s through eating right, exercising, meeting a deadline, etc…

One of the areas I have seen people do the most “talking” in and have no “follow through” is diet and exercising. These are the “diet hoppers” who bounce from 1 diet to the next only to start a new one weeks later. The same goes for exercising.

Anyone can be a talker, but to make a change in your life, you need to take solid action and follow through 100%. If you don’t, you will never see the results that are ultimately in your grasp.

I often will say:

Yea, I am really going to get into exercising this week… or I am going to start business next week…

Do I ever follow through? NO.

If you want to be a talker your whole life, than that is your prerogative, but unfortunately you will probably lose the confidence in yourself along with the backing of friends and family. People will see through you given enough time if “talking” is all you’re capable of.

Take one aspect of your life…just one, that you have a problem in completing, whether it’s family life, dieting, exercising, finances, or anything else and take a stand. Follow through 100% with the task and see the results you are looking for. It IS possible; it just takes effort and patience.

Six months after it began, the electronic card-payment system issued by some Nigerian banks has been rejected by merchants in Europe and the United States (U.S.). Citing the prevalence of large-scale fraud, the merchants say the mastercards and other card-based instruments of payment from the country are “high risk.”

Many of such would-be transactions originated by Nigerians through these cards have resulted in still births. In many cases, the cold shoulders have not been because the card issuers cannot back them up with cash, but because “the card owners are located in Nigeria.”

The office of the Nigerian Cybercrime Working Group (NCWG) is currently inundated with letters from many merchants giving details of their reasons for rejecting e-commerce transactions with Nigeria-based persons and organisations: “Because you live in a high fraud area, we cannot process your order.”

The rejections, which cut across different business strata are also because the cards were issued by Nigerian banks in Nigeria. Continue Reading »

I don’t mind telling you, I’ve had Egypt on my mind this weekend. I find it disappointing that so many people who claim to be students of the international game, care little about the African Cup of Nations. We should all be capable of gazing away from the Premiership once in a while, especially to watch a competition replete with so much football talent. In a World Cup year, with five of the sixteen African participants bound for Germany in June, it’s particularly enlightening.

The 2006 tournament has started brightly. No disrespect to Libya, but most neutrals were hoping for an Egyptian victory in Friday’s competition opener. That the Pharaohs delivered three goals without reply means there’s no danger of the locals losing interest, before things have really got going.

Spurs striker Mido strolled through the game, leading the line for an Egypt side untroubled by their modest Libyan opponents. Mohamed Aboutrika’s superb free-kick from distance represented the individual highlight of a job well done by the host nation at the Cairo International Stadium. Continue Reading »
