WHAT THE WEALTHY DO WHEN LIFE SHOWS THEM PEPPER

I recently came across this collection of Tee-shirts design and it spoke to me. You see, the Wealthy realize that none of us are born perfect. Indeed we all have our short-comings and obstacles to overcome. The difference between the rest of ordinary folks and the wealthy is that the latter have the conviction that they can bend the vicissitudes of Life on this Earth and make them favourable. Hence the saying:

 "If Life shows you Pepper, (don't complain) just make pepper soup"

Sure-Fire Businesses for 2016

Below is a small list of business oportunities for S.M.Es for 2016. It's from an E-book written by John-Paul Iwuoha, who is an impact entrepreneur, SME Business Coach, and founder of Smallstarter Africa. He works with entrepreneurs and investors to start up and grow businesses in Africa. He is also the co-author of ‘101 Ways To Make Money in Africa‘, the widely-acclaimed book which reveals several interesting business ideas, market opportunities, and inspiring entrepreneur success stories across Africa.

.  Online Services

The guys in the picture above are the founders of Printivo, a small business located in the Yaba area of Lagos. In October 2015, this young business received over $100,000 in funding from foreign investors.

Printivo is actually built on a simple business idea. It designs and prints corporate business cards, letterheads and notepads for all kinds of companies. The only difference is Printivo is a full-scale online service, customers can make their orders over the internet.

Printivo’s service is fast, convenient and very affordable. It’s no surprise the business has become very successful in a short time.

Just in case you haven’t noticed, online business models are taking over Nigeria. Products and services which used to only be available through physical and traditional channels are going online.

You can now buy phones, electronics and household appliances online (eg. Konga and Jumia). You can also buy food products online (eg. Supermart.ng and Gloo.ng).

If you’re looking for the latest job vacancies, Jobberman is surely the place to go. If you want to watch the best Nigerian movies, IrokoTV is the village square. If you’re looking for hotel accommodation options anywhere in Nigeria, Hotels.ng will easily do the magic!

So, as the days go by, more products and services are moving to the internet in Nigeria. But there are still many more that haven’t gone online yet.

Car spare parts, handicrafts and art work, personal and home care services (like nannies, drivers, chefs etc.). All of these and more are still unavailable online in Nigeria.

In 2016, more smart Nigerians are going to bring some of these online.

Will you be one of them?

The Wealthy are always ready to face the odds

TWO VERY IMPORTANT LESSONS TO LEARN FROM DR SID'S KABIYESI VIDEO

In this very hilarious and creatively shot musical video (I strongly believe <adasa cookey> is a genius), the son of the late great Justice Esiri shows us that the apple never really falls far from the tree.

Anyways, this highly entertaining video curiously teaches us two major things about achieving our goals when we deal with people

How To Develop an Allergy to Average (by addicted2success.com )

There are many ways to define success. Entrepreneurs and business people spend years focusing on that often ever-elusive goal, continually searching for the magic solution or answer: that “thing” which will help them achieve the success they so desire. Admittedly, we all want to be successful in our lives. No matter what our career or personal aspirations may be, we all hope to attain an element of prestige, achievement, and fulfilment.

A major part of success involves never settling for less. I’d say it goes even further to include NEVER SETTLING. Great success depends on the will and drive of the person involved. No matter how much you believe luck and circumstances affect one’s chance at “making it”, this is far from the truth. I firmly believe we make our own luck, and we create our own destiny. The person most in charge of your success is YOU. Conversely, YOU are also the biggest obstacle preventing you from achieving that success.

So how does one reach the pinnacle? How can I become everything I desire in my life? How can I reach all my career and personal goals, and even go beyond my wildest dreams?

Simple. You must become allergic to the idea of being average. Mediocre “success”, satisfactory work, and substandard results CANNOT be enough for you. If they are, retrain your brain right now. You need to develop an allergy to average. Success depends on being extraordinary and outstanding. In a word full of mediocrity and “just enough” you must become exceptional. You must be and want MORE than enough.
