FUNDAMENTAL & PRACTICAL ELEMENTS OF AN IDEA THAT WOULD MAKE A GOOD& SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS START UP. Nigerians are so gifted in ideation that every year, over 1 million businesses are started in the various parts of the country. These businesses are in varied scale, nano, micro, small and medium sized businesses.  However and sadly too, research has shown that more than 90% of start ups in Nigeria die before their 5th birthday. In fact up to half attain the failure status in the first year. The following three are among the biggest reasons for these abysmal record. And these three are what I have called the fundamental and practical elements of business start up and sustainability. You probably know them,  but I want to briefly tell you why they are so important in your choice of business. 1. Need The only reason every good business exists is to provide solution(s) to the needs of the people. If a business doesn't solve a real  problem, that business is d...

Corporate and Unique Field Marketers opportunity is one of those and I will take time to break down all you need to know about this 'just amazing' business opportunity. This opportunity is open to the Nigerian Marketplace, it's new and from a very familiar industry, but presented now in an unimaginably attractive and rewarding way. I bet in all your imagination, you would never think that this was possible except you are a novice in the industry. Please take your time and read every single word of this article and act on it as FAST as you can. Did I SAY FAST? Oh yeah! Not that this business is running, but an African adage says that the carmel to first reach the river would drink the cleanest of the water. But here's the ...

NB:This article first appeared on  http://urnaijandyou.blogspot.com/. #Ebolaalert #ThankUNigEbolaHealthWorkers The Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) outbreak in Nigeria brought with it, tension and fear which eventually led to a high level of panic evident in the midnight salt bath that spread like wide fire all over the country within a space of 12 hours earlier in August. However, worthy of note is the very professional manner with which our government and our healthcare givers have handled the epidemic. Much as one would say it was the inefficiency of the government that led to the introduction of the disease to the country in the first place; by letting travelers from infected neighboring countries enter Nigeria freely despite prior knowledge of the deadly EVD, one will not but applaud the efforts of the government so far in containing the spread of the disease. But for the 'naughtiness' and/or ignorance of some citizens, the disease woul...

Good morning! Having a good start to your day will greatly enhance your chances of having a successful day, every day. The discipline of an early bird will manifest itself in many ways, or as Benjamin Franklin put it way back in the 1700’s, “Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.” The saying is just as true today as it was then and many of the most accomplished people on the planet have been shown to be early risers who put their early hours into quality use. But, it’s not just a matter of getting up early that counts; it is what you do with that extra time while the world at large is still slumbering. (Note: getting up early shouldn’t come at the expense of getting enough sleep). Knowing how to leverage your time before breakfast will undoubtedly have a positive and productive outcome.  Here are six habits that successful early risers employ. 1. Sleep Timely and Awake Timely.  Having a great morning begins from the previou...

Deficit sleep describes a situation where people continuously get less sleep than their body requirement. Are you one of those people who try to operate on as little sleep as possible? Who believe the night is a precious opportunity to add up extra work to meet up with life? Well, you’re not alone; most of us suffer from bouts of sleep deprivation. In fact I personally lost my sleep this night to ‘extra work load’, something I haven’t done in a long time. No wonder I was prompted to make these findings to be sure I am not about harming myself. My guess is not far from the truth. Aside from being a grumpy, walking, zombie, sleep deficit can affect your health in seven very dangerous ways… 1. Sleep Deprivation Can Put At Risk for Chronic Conditions If you suffer from insomnia, you might not only leave your car keys in the refrigerator…again, you might actually increase your chances of developing a chronic condition. Research studies suggest that the majority of insomniacs (abou...

Success is a guarantee when quality behaviours are continuously practiced by individuals until they become habits. In the last three years, I’ve taken some time out of my tight schedules to study the lives and times of amazingly successful people; professionals and entrepreneurs. I was provoked to do this after watching one of Brian Tracy’s videos on YouTube, where he said something about people who want to be successful copying what successful people in their field have done or are doing. By the way, by “success” here I do not mean some objective measures of outer wealth, accomplishment or achievement.   Rather, I mean achieving your most important goal, what matters most to you; individually, in your career, your corporate social commitment etc. By interactions and careful observation, I have discovered people who discipline themselves and live fully on their own terms (in their thinking, reacting, interrelating, manner of solving problems and leading), an...
