Starting a business from the scratch is usually full of uncertainties. Fear of the unknown. The fear is what discourages aspiring entrepreneurs from tapping into the goldmine of self-employment...
Although, being self-employed is not an easy decision to make, but the pay cheque of self-employment is too big to be ignored. It feels good and self fulfilling if the money is flowing in and frustrating if nothing is coming out of it. It can be good or bad. But no one can deny the financial comfort of paying oneself. No one can afford to miss out on the abundance of wealth by ignoring to start his/her own business next year 2011. This is the time to start planning.

It may be that you lost your job in the beginning of the year. That your bank account is in red and your creditors are after you to pay up your debts. It may even be that you lost someone that might be your financial source. No matter what your story is, one thing is sure, if you start your own business now, you will surely have a reason to smile at the end. I may sound uncommon, unlike what you hear around - that things are so bad, we don't even know if we are going to die or survive; this government is this and that; all of these things people use as excuses.
No matter the criticisms, grumblings and all, some still smile to the bank every day. Let's make ourselves one of such people.
Our economy is growing rapidly, things are getting better every now and them, improvements everywhere. Let us find our part to play in it and get switched into good source of income, as we also contribute our own quota to the development of the system.
Be an entrepreneur with a difference. Most people ask, what business should I start? If you had asked that question six years ago, I would have been short of answers, but right now, the answer is “any business”. Yes, because in a fast growing economy like ours, potentials lie in every business.
Opportunities can never be saturated, and it is not about competing with ourselves, lets not have that mentality; Instead let us focus on how we can offer services more conveniently with better service orientation. Think of how best to reinvent the wheels in any business you want to go into.
Your basic background – business is all about service, offer that service in a way that would make your customers fall in love with you and in the process become your marketer by telling others about you.
If you have the right information about the market potentials(as we will be supplying through this blog), you will be eager to know what exactly you need to do and the exact steps to take to start your own profitable business. You need to have it in your mind that you are not the first person to start a business. Many did and they are successful today. Look at Cadbury, Coca-cola, Oceanic bank, Tantalizers, bankPHB, CHAMS, e.t.c . (do a little research on any of these companies, it will marvel you that each was started by one person, possibly from scratch). These companies are so successful today that you have even bought into some of them, in form of shares. Imagine you starting a business, growing it, and may be after ten years, you are selling your company shares to the public. Ask yourself, WHY CAN'T I SELL MY OWN SHARES? It starts right now you are reading this article. Only believe in God(God Factor) and act now.
Even if you see yourself as poor, you can't be poor for too long if you have the right business mentality and tap into the huge opportunities presented by our fast growing economy now. If your question right now is, what do I do? How do i get started? Don't worry, just make up your mind; and keep coming to this blog because we will be posting great ideas that can put you on a high pedestal of business success. Getting started first requires your strong decision to go ahead with what you plan to do now – without putting it off till another time. Decide first that you are ready to start your own business – it will amaze you how quickly ideas of what business to do will flood your heart. This might shock you, but I am telling you that opportunities abound in every business. Imagine how Kinko in America transformed an ordinary photocopy business into a world class investment with over 2000 shops and offices in Japan and Europe.
Any business, anywhere, with the right vision can make you mega money. It doesn't matter what others may think of it. Just give people what they want and are willing to pay for, at the right price possible.
Mathematically; IDENTIFYING PEOPLE'S NEED + MEETING THAT NEED = SUCCESS. QED.
Having inspired you enough; I want to give you some of those exact steps you need to take to create your own multi-million naira/dollar business empire within a short time.
First step
Find out the things that inspire you to excel. This is critical to your success. To some, it could be an article; to others it is what someone says to them. Make conscious effort to always have that thing that inspires you to excel. To excel, you need to be constantly inspired. If you are constantly inspired, you will constantly excel in your business or career. Remember that challenges would come your way, but it's how you handle them that would make the difference. So, you also need to have the right people as your mentors. Look out for those individuals that their lives or achievements inspire you a lot and lean on them for guidance. Never go asking them for financial help in whatever form – if you don't want them to shut their doors against you. Rather, seek for ways to pay them even when they don't ask for it. You can send them gifts or buy their products. In whatever way, show them that you appreciate their mentor-ship in more ways than words.
Second step
This is the decision step. You need to make ‘’unshakable’’ decision about what you are going to do that will make you money legally. How you are going to do them – the best way possible., which brings about planning. Why ‘’unshakable’’ is for you to know the seriousness that must be attached to those decisions if you really want to achieve financial freedom. It will also require you to make serious financial sacrifices.
I advice, for the first time in your life, take your future seriously more than mere words. Your future is in your hands, it is not in the hands of your father, uncle, etc or the economy. Things don't just happen because you want them to. You have the responsibility to ensure that things happen for you the way you desired them, irrespective of whatever challenges you face. With God all things are possible.
Get the necessary knowledge required to make your business a success. This can be and obtainable in any field this days, through workshops, seminars, trainings and also teaching other people how to do it.
Conclusively, you must be ready to consistently market your product and services. Every body thinks that he/she is good at this. Good marketing goes together with consistency – even when people are yet to understand or appreciate what you are selling. Most marketers give up too soon, especially when people due to ignorance, complain about their product. You must be consistent in your marketing.
You can be in charge of your financial economy, regardless of what others are going through financially. Remember, some people are complaining about the economy, government, price increase, scarcity of resources and, that and this and that, without doing anything to help themselves except to complain and remain the same; while some are busy making their cool money, building houses, buying new cars, marrying wives and having children, being on vacation with family; enjoying every bit of life. Identify yourself with the group you wish to identify yourself with. Life is a choice, but choose good life.
Strictly to your success!!!
