Seven: Structure Your Business – You don’t need to define the end of a business at the end, you can always define the end of a thing from the beginning and its persistency. Your small business that you call it, can be structure because it is not small but because that is what you can see. I am here to tell that that business must be structure if indeed, you want it to become great.
You must have an opening and
closing time, you can also decide to organize overtime for jobs that is urgent
with extra payment. As a drycleaner, I can decide to have a day and time for
collection of clothes and delivery of clothes. You can decide to classes of
your products and services for profit maximization.
Eight: Cultivate The Habit Of Savings For Investment – It is only a
fool that spends it all says the book of proverbs. Before you started earning,
you weren't earning, yet, you were living, you started earning, it is not enough
that you had to spend all, it is gross level of financial indiscipline.
What you are selling isn’t the
problem, the problem is your mindset. Whatever you says is not enough cannot be
enough, but if you can see surplus in the little, you are so sure of living in
abundance soonest. I have stated this before that 75% of the properties on
Maryland Mende is originally bought and developed by stack illiterate, who used
to settle within this axis then, to sell their farm produce. As they do these
weekly, they decided to start saving and approached landowners for purchase of
lands and today Maryland is a celebrating place in the city of Lagos.
Ensure today doesn’t pass you by
without opening an account that will have steady and well defined savings for
other investment purpose or to boost your business capital base. Anything can
wait is the statement I heard from an Entrepreneur in 2012. Only those who have
cash at hand can take hold of fast moving opportunities, it doesn’t matter your
qualification, if you don’t have savings, opportunities will always pass you
by.
Nine: Go For Financial Literacy – Dear reader, if indeed you are in
business or you want to go into business and you are certain you want to grow
the business and become a force to be reckoned with internationally, then, you
need to obey this commandment of being financially literate.
Being in business doesn’t
automatically proof that you are financially wise, hence you aren’t financially
wise, then, you will pay for your financial ignorance, which will be severely
costly than for you to have gone for financial literacy.
You need to go for financial
summit, where you will be taught how to make, manage and multiply money, so
that you will not become a history in financial story line. Get resources on
this subject, to place you on top, while others are struggling and complaining
in your industry. What this connotes is that you need information for you to be
financially literate. Don’t think your colleague in the industry are limited as
you, many source for information and work on it, which is this reason why they
are better than you.
You need to know what money is.
What you need to spend your money on and what you mustn’t spend your money on.
Where money hides? And many others.
Ten: Don’t Say There’s No Money – I have always heard a common
saying that is most irritating among businessmen either Holy Ghost tongue
speaking one or not, which is “NO MONEY”. I have sat down to identify many
reasons why they are used to these words and certify that it’s not worth saying
at all.
As you have said in my ears, so
will I do isn’t a joking matter. God doesn’t joke with the words of any man,
your mouth is a pen writer of your business. If you want to draw the
architectural design of your business and life, all you need is your mouth,
which will prompt your action and the supernatural action over you.
Never be unequally yoked with
unbelievers, rather, unbelievers should be bought into speaking our language as
they see it working for us. I am blessed, too blessed to be broke. I am a
source of blessing to the nations; I am nations’ lender and not borrower. Be
cautious of what your mouth deliver into your life’s warehouse.
Eleven: Read Books, Journals, and Articles – I have seen a
spreading diseases amongst the average and below average cadre, which will
prevent them from going to the top and to sustain themselves there, which is
the disease of not reading.
I have seen many businessmen and
women, who are novice to books, journal and articles; they keep running their
businesses on the platform of the ancient, not knowing that things are changing
on a daily basis. It is not too much, if you can become a monthly or weekly
subscriber of article, journal and books on business and life that can bring
360 degree improvement into your life.
Clear excuses of not having the
time to read it, it’s all because you don’t create the time for it. Everything
in life is done consciously, until you consciously include it in your agenda,
it will be too tough for you to see yourself becoming a reading person. One the
surest way by which knowledge come is through reading and listening, don’t
deprive yourself of what you can get with your hundred of naira or thousands of
naira.
You can have access to blogsite
and website on businesses like: bizxploit.blogspot.com and many more, where you
have free information to become a blessing to your life and business.
Twelve: Listen To Tape – This is the alternative solution for you to
have access to knowledge with less stress or fatigue. If you are always too
tired after the day’s work, get a CD player to play business and life cd for
your level to change, don’t waste your time in the traffic, maximize that time
to listen to tapes that will transform your inward man, which will birth
significant result.
Become an addict to listening to
selected tapes, which will trigger you to take meaningful and result-oriented
steps in business and life. You can decide to do weekly shopping of few
thousand out of your profit to engage in buying this resource materials that
will help you, friends, you cannot act than the volume of knowledge at your
disposal, therefore, knowledge isn’t negotiable but a must.
Thirteen: Don’t Wait
For Opportunities, Go For Opportunities – There are some people that are
called goal getter, such people aren’t comfort zone arena people, they zoom out
of their comfort zone to the inconvenient zone to get what they want or have
desired.
Many business people would have
gone farther than this but because they are always at alert for opportunity,
waiting patiently for opportunity and wouldn’t know when the opportunity will
come. Whatever God has done for one, He can do for another, He can always
repeat those good testimonies in your life as well, if you can go for it.
Jesus didn’t perform miracle in
the lives of everyone, He only did in the life of people who came for it. Until
you are ready to go for it, you might have to wait for decade before it comes
to you, provoke opportunities to forsake others and locate you.
Fourteen – Every Business Changes Process Between Ten Year,
Grab The Changes Ahead: All business people, who aren’t willing to tell old and
uninteresting story that they were once in business should know that business
process changes within a decade and if you fail to flow with the changes, you
will surely be pushed aside but if you can see the changes ahead for you to
grab it and champion it, you will surely lead your industry.
Don’t just do business because you want to eat and feed your
family, engage in business because you want to make an unforgettable impact
that will speak after you have gone. Accomplishing this will require you that
you go ahead of every changes that will happen in your industry, take the bull
by the horn for you to become wealthy as other will wail in tears of economy
downsize.
Fifteen – Don’t Complain, Act: Due to the grace bestowed
upon me, I meet business people daily: I have tried to always bring some out of
their complain land to wishful land but because it is their wish not
determination, they can keep complaining.
If indeed you want to prosper than your predecessor, you
must be heaven bent on forgoing complain and embrace action
