One of the hardest decision to take in a country like ours is to become an entrepreneur. Not that it's bad but because it's difficult due to lack of Infrastructure and value chain coupled with excess dependence on import. The best thing one can therefore give to entrepreneurs is to encourage them.
Everyday in Nigeria, one gets to see people hawking their wares in different forms. Some sells sachet water, some chin chin and many more. What is surprising however is the fact that there are many beggers too. Beggers not handicap in anyway but goes home with serious amount everyday while the hustlers go home with little gains or even lose.
In whatever capacity you can help, please do. You can leave your little change with sachet water sellers. You can pay more for chin chin. Instead of encouraging begging, encourage hardwork.
Don't go about asking to know how small the entrepreneur makes at the end of the month for jest making.
People that has the ear of those in government should also help tell them there is no need making laws against those selling by the way side on in go slow since they have failed in their duty to provide adequate jobs for the people. Government should know that some of them make only N40 at times in 2 to 7 hours, it's that bad in some places.
When next you want to buy shirt, trousers, bags, shoes, and many other produce please seek out the local entrepreneur around you.
Together we can reduce unemployment!
It is important in life and especially business to prioritize ideas. Some questions that will help us as regard priority includes "when should this idea be implemented?" "Do I have all it takes to implement this idea now, if not, when will I have them?" "Won't it be late to implement this idea in so so and so time?" Etc. Many times, it's difficult to run/implement two or more ideas at a time but through priority we can still achieve them all though at different times. It also prevent tying up of capital and that may even affect both businesses. In priority, it's best to do the easiest first or one in which one has more expertise or one better research. In priority, a schedule is also important. When we ask the necessary questions, it would help us know how prepared we are for every idea we intend to implement less we start and encounter problem not anticipated. Some ideas are best implemented now than allowing them to wait while some are bet...
