001 TOP GREAT SMALL BUSINESS IDEAS AND OPPORTUNITY IN NIGERIA

BEST BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY IN LAGOS, PORT HARCOURT AND ABUJA.

A lot of people in Nigeria are still wondering about the right kind of small business to start. Some have spent months, others years, thinking about the best small business to begin. But you see, the truth is that you cannot invent a new business, you must do a business that has been done by somebody somewhere.

In this article, am going to show you how to come up with a good business idea to start.

The very best way to start is by looking at peoples businesses. What exactly are you to look at? Mistakes.

 Let me paint a picture of what am talking about.

Mr. Samuel is a business man, he sells food items. But his business environment will be clean today and dirty tomorrow.

 Mr. John is doing that same business , his environment is always very clean but  he will almost always keep you waiting for few seconds before giving you attention.

Mrs. Daniel is in that line of business too. Her business environment is always clean, she will always attend to you as soon as you arrive at her small business area, but she has her own problem. Her prices are a bit higher than others in the market.

 Now look at Mrs. Uzo in the same business. Her environment is clean, she attends to customers immediately they arrive, her prices are moderate, but she does not know how to talk to customers, she is sometimes rude to customers.

 Mr. Maven decided to start that same business today, and corrected all the above mentioned mistakes and others not mention. Tell me what you think please. Will maven be able to create customers for himself in that same market? Why not? In fact almost all the customers will go to him.

So the success secret of every business is, do right what others or your competitors are doing wrongly. Once you are able to do that, you’ll get the market.

3 to 5 years ago, when you enter some banks in Nigeria, you will be treated like a nobody. There were other banks you will enter too, and they will treat you like a king. Which of these banks do you think will have more customers? Of course, the once that will treat you like a king. Very recently, I visited a bank in Port Harcourt. The security man at the gate welcomed me with a smile on his face, and when I got into the banking hall, I was welcome again with a smile. Almost every staff in the banking hall gave me a smile. It was as if they don’t have any problem. But you see, there mentality is “our customers first before our individual problem”. And am very sure, that you will like to be one of their customers? Yes, because everybody love to be treated nicely, like a king.

In your own little way, in your environment, you can begin to look at what small business people are not doing right. Create a business today, the right time to start is now, and begin to correct those mistakes. Our next article will bring you more examples.
