JUST
ONE SINGLE SMALL BUSINESS IDEA CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE.
What struck your mind
when you saw that topic? That wheelbarrow can move someone from nothing to
something? My answer is yes. Read on to see how that was true in the case of
Alex Iyabili .
In this article, we shall look at Alex
background and how a simple wheelbarrow change his condition from bad to good.
Like many thousands of Nigerian, Alex Iyabili had his own
share of hard life. After his primary school education, his uncle told him to
learn a skill, but sadly, his uncle was not ready to pay the money required to
acquire the skill. Young Alex had no place to turn to for help, his father died
before he turned 3yrs and his mother died a month after her husband was buried.
So where will he turn to?
At the age of 12, he picked a job as a house help. Those of
you living in this part of world know what some of this house help pass through
in the hands of their madam. Unfortunately for Alex, he landed himself in the
hands of a bad couple. He eat once a day, he wore just 3 clothes for a whole
year, he regularly receive unnecessary beatings and on top of all this, his
uncle was enjoying Alex monthly salary.
After a year and 9 months, he left this bad couple because
of constant torture. Well at the age of 23, he started working as a guard for a
company in Port Harcourt, and was managing his young life with that. He turned 25 in 2009. While working one
day, a man who visited the company said something to him, something that
changed his life. They say knowledge is power. My answer to that is knowledge
is not power, but applied knowledge is. Many Nigerian have knowledge, what has
that knowledge brought them? Nothing. But those who have applied the knowledge
they received, have benefited a lot, both financially and otherwise. So,
applied knowledge is power.
What knowledge did Alex receive and applied? The visitor
said to Alex “Do you know you can make regular income from wheelbarrow?” Buy 2
wheelbarrows, give them to people, let them make daily returns of 400naira
each. Wao! That is # 800 daily returns for Alex. Those words push Alex to
action.
Three days later, Alex ran to the market and bought 2 very
strong wheelbarrows, handed them over to people he knew, and yes, at the end of
that day, he received # 800. Exactly 9 months later, he bought another 5
wheelbarrows.
#2,800 daily. Without stress, Alex was making # 2,800 daily
from his 7 wheelbarrows.
Lets pause for a minute. Is this article making any sense to
you? Are you now seeing that when you apply the knowledge you have, it gives
you financial power? In our future articles, you will be seeing more of this.
Let’s go back to Alex. I was with
him on the 8th of February 2016. He told he has increase the number
of wheelbarrows to 45, all located in big markets and major junctions in port
Harcourt. The daily return from each wheelbarrow is no longer # 400, but # 500. Now bring out your calculator and let’s
see how much he is earning daily now. # 500 multiply by 45 wheelbarrows will
bring you to # 22,500.
That is the amount that is entering his pocket every single
day. Now check in a week, from Monday to Saturday, # 135,000 will enter his
pocket and in a month #540,000. Do you think your bank manager, your lawyer
will call you Sir if you are earning up to that amount? Of course. Starting a business is not difficult, right? Especially when you have the Best small business idea.
Alex now have many other businesses. He is no longer a
suffer boy, a security guard but an employer of labor. He is making extra
income from different businesses.
Can you make regular daily income too? My answer is yes, a
resounding yes. Alex did it, you can do it too. And let me shock you with this-
Many of you reading this article are smarter by far than Alex. A lot of people
are making extra income today in Nigeria, not because they are smarter than
you, but because they are following proven success method in business. We shall
bring some of this proven success methods to your attention in our future
articles.
Like I said earlier, one single idea can turn your life
around. Hear and act. You can start small and grow from there. For those of you
who are company workers, you will agree with me that monthly salary is not
always enough, even if you are earning in millions. Anything called salary is
not always enough that is the fact. You can create something than will be
bringing you extra income, it can be anything. Any business is a good business.
All you need is knowing how to do it and the right location for it.
Our future article will teach you many more.
