THE
first step to achieving
something is knowing what you want to
achieve followed by why you want to
achieve it and matching your resources
to achieve it. In Nigeria however, the
reverse is the case.
The first step is knowing the resources
you have then finding a dream that fits
it., funny yeah? But we know its true.
We say things like “I have 500k, what
kind of business can I do with it?” We
hardly say “I want to manufacture cars,
what or how much wil
Ineed to
make that happen?”
There are certain things we need to
keep in mind when we consider
starting up or maybe we already
started but we're stuck, they are;
JI !
If we look deeply though,
we'll see that Nigeria has
a pool of opportunies
and platforms on which
talents, businesses and other
amazing ideas which can be used to our
advantage. Too many factors are present
in the country to discourage from
starting up that business/plan like the
epileptic power supply, fear of public
acceptance especially when the plan
seems weird and rare, fear of taking
risks, financial disability to mention a
few.
- Your business idea doesn't have
to be what everyone is looking
for, know who you'retargeting.

- It doesn't have to be locally
accepted either, you can go
international and global
first, yesits very possible and
your locality will have no
choice than to accept then
- Use the country's
disadvantage to your
advantage, just find a way.
- Motivate yourself, no one is
obliged to “ginger” you.
-When you get stuck, remember why
you started.
-Don't let anyone put down your
idea, mentally block off all negative
opinions but listenanyway, you might
need it.
