BUSINESS MANAGEMENT 101

  There is something that changes when your business gets to this level. The business may be making good money... But the way you run it has to change too. These are some things I think can make you... Or break you. 1. STOP BEING THE BEST EMPLOYEE IN YOUR BUSINESS. You may have started by doing everything yourself. But ₦50m+ a month is a different level. Your job is no longer to do everything. Your job is to build the company. 2. BUILD A MANAGEMENT TEAM. You cannot be the manager of everybody. You need people who can: Manage people. Make decisions. And take responsibility for results. 3. KNOW YOUR NUMBERS. Revenue is not profit. ₦50m coming into the business does not mean you have ₦50m. Know your: Costs. Margins. Cash flow. Debts. Profit. 4. STOP KEEPING THE BUSINESS IN YOUR HEAD. If only you know how things work... You don't have a company. You have a business that depends on you. Document the important things. Processes. Policies. Responsibilities. Approvals. Reports. 5. YOUR STA...

UNDERSTANDING STRUCTURES AND SYSTEMS

  In Nigeria, every business coach talks about building systems and structures and when I listen to them, I just laugh. See eh, forget those motivational talks from people who don’t even understand what systems are. Systems are not Personal Assistants answering your call or customers talking to your support team. Systems are STANDARDISED PROCESSES… How many of those talking about systems are ISO Certified? How many of them are NDPC compliant? How many of them have a Board that has the power to sack them as CEO? How many of them need to convince a board to access funds from their business account? How many of them have SOPs? See eh, packaging is not system and eloquence is not structure. Systems and structures start with your own PERSONAL approach as a founder. There is a massive gulf between Instagram business coaching and the raw, gritty reality of operating in the Nigerian market. True systems mean real corporate governance, legal compliance, and rigid, repeatable operational dat...

  Omo, Nigerians are really not happy with this man.. from the north, south and west, he's been rejected outrightly. What does the 2027 presidential election really holds for this man. Tinubu arrived yesterday and was driving through the airport in his usual hundreds of convoy, but Nigerians welcomed him with "Ole Ole" chant at the airport road. https://www.instagram.com/p/Dd6S16bEbxD/?img_index=1&stkn=bGw2c3R6bmRhaXho https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1LDGuoBZEIo?si=bJzRNa3XQY8g-PY_ Quote Report 18 Likes Like 2 Shares Share Re: Chant Of "Ole" As Tinubu's Convoy Drive Pass Airport (Video, Photos) by AMINDA : 3:16pm On Sep 30 A tale of two presidents. Buhari was like a diety in the North until the day of his death. He could make a shoemaker win an elective position by merely raising his hand. Tinubu lost both Lagos and Osun and has resorted to begging Adeleke for endorsement in order to win Osun in 2027. They are not the same. This was Buhari in Maidu...

Brittney Caldwell Compares Nigeria & Benin Republic - Politics

Image
  American digital creator Brittney Caldwell, who relocated to Nigeria, has sparked an online conversation after comparing everyday life in Nigeria and neighbouring Benin Republic. In a viral video, Caldwell praised Benin Republic’s roads and public services, questioning why Nigeria with its larger and greater resources still struggles with some basic infrastructure and service delivery. Her comments have reignited a bigger question: Is Nigeria’s challenge a lack of resources, or how those resources are managed? And with Detty December approaching, thousands of visitors are expected in Nigeria. Are we prepared to give them the experience they expect, from roads, electricity, transportation and sanitation to security, hospitality and customer service? πŸŽ₯Incase you missed this Live!
