Are you still thinking you don’t have what you need to achieve your dream? And thinking it is not worth it holding on any longer? Wait…Why did Napoleon lose to the English at the battle of Waterloo? The English simply fought five minutes longer. Some few years back, I went to serve my fatherland (to fulfil all righteousness). I came out of NYSC Orientation Camp with no clear picture of what lied ahead. The truth is that I had been deployed to a village (to teach Physics and Mathematics). Immediately I saw the deployment letter, I knew within me that I was not going to end up at the place. How this will happen, I did not know. But I made up my mind to give it all I had at the time.
Motivations to hold on came from the pictures of future I carry within me and the desire to succeed. What will happen to all the dreams? The great plans? My aspirations for the year? My community development work with the youth – led initiatives I was working on before the start of service year? The questions were countless and it was as if I would not be able to provide the solutions. Almost everybody around me at that time did not know the solution either. Nobody, I mean, really knew what lies ahead.
Waking up the following morning, I discovered that I had joy unlimited – the joy of seeing my dreams achieved. There and there, I decided to effect the change that would lead to the fulfilment of my dreams. I made up my mind to secure a placement first within the city and then sort out things with the State Director much later. He was the only person everybody believed could do anything to the posting.

Do you have something you can offer to others? Are you really good at work you are doing? Then, it is essential that others know about it. This will help increase your business - and contrary to what your mother might have taught you, it is not necessary to feel guilty or shy about promoting yourself.
Here are some way to do this in an effective way.
- Attain a high level of expertise: Before you start promoting yourself, it is important that you take pains to obtain extra skills and that you possess a high level of expertise. You need to stand out in your field if you are to get and keep business. Seek out new training courses and mentors. Find a way to get your name out there without looking like you’re trying too hard.
- Speak in front of an audience: When you get a chance to speak in front of an audience in a conference, meeting or even just a get-together, use the opportunity to promote your skills and knowledge – and your business. Speak on any subject relevant to your line of business where you have knowledge. This will not only increase your confidence in public speaking, but will also advance your popularity and help you begin to develop a good reputation.

Are you currently finding it hard to stay motivated? Do you feel everything is all over you and thinking of quitting? Hold on for some time. One key factor in getting and staying motivated in the face of challenges and trials is find and stay around other business owners. You need to stay connected with those who have the same passion like you.
Networking helps you to offset the solitary working statuses you may be facing. In fact, working alone can be one of most difficult component parts of being an entrepreneur. You may never truly deliver the goods or services without the aid of others but remember that you will have to make yourself available to others as well. Mutual support is not only motivating but rewarding. Continue Reading »

Do you wish you can set your own hours, with enough money and time to do what you want? There have never been so many opportunities to start and build a successful business than there are today. Many businesses spring forth everyday. You do not have to look too far. Someone in your street is starting something even though it may be on a small scale. What are you waiting? The opportunities for finding or developing a new business idea are all around you, and with proper preparation, the possibilities for your success are enormous.
You may be wondering why you should start a business when the chance that it will succeed is very low. You may even have just experienced a business failure. But is this enough reason for you to suspend your dreams? 80 or 90 percent of new businesses may fail in the first three years but this does not necessary mean that yours will fail. Businesses fail due to a number of factors.
One of these being managerial incompetence. Most businesses have a great product or service but what happens if the owner is unable to sell the product or can’t control its costs or both. The result is definitely failure. One way of avoiding this is to go for knowledge. Buy and read the books on business management. You may also need to attend seminars organised by successful business men. By doing this, you are learning from their experience and saving yourself a lot of future headache. Continue Reading »

Consider this scenario… You and some of your friends are at a bus station and there seems to be no trace of bus. Yet, there a lot of people waiting. The number of people at the station keeps increasing and few buses are available. What comes to your mind? What do you do? Do you just stay there and complain? Or you see an opportunity to meet a need. The person that started the “Sachet Water” business saw an opportunity that many neglected and was not only ready but bold enough to take his opportunity.
These are just examples of opportunities that abound. You only need to look across your street and you would see a lot of opportunities begging for your attention. The understanding of the great opportunities that abound in Nigeria and Africa at large always hit me strongly. And yet many people find it hard to enjoy the kind of life they so desire. However, some still live their lives to the fullest? What is the difference between these two set of people? Continue Reading »
