BEST SMALL BUSINESS IDEA - MONEY IS TIED TO THAT PROBLEM. SOLVE IT AND GET THE MONEY

WHAT USUALLY BRINGS MONEY INTO THE POCKET OF “SOME” AND NOT “MANY”? THERE’S SOMETHING THESE “SOME” KNOW THAT THE “MANY” DON’T KNOW. WHAT IS THAT?

There’s this popular saying in Nigeria that says; some make things happen, others watch things happen.  We are talking about genuine way now, not backdoor way. There’s a big difference between this 2 group, and I will tell you.

You see, those who make things happen, always sleep and wake up with the fact that MONEY is nothing but a REWARD for solving a PROBLEM.

Let me repeat that again. MONEY IS A REWARD FOR SOLVING A PROBLEM OR PROBLEMS. So what that means is that, if you want money to enter into your pocket, then solve a problem. And you know what? Problems are everywhere. Meaning, money is everywhere.

In mathematics we usually say if x=y, then y=x. am I right? Of course. Same thing applies here. IF SOLVING A PROBLEM=MONEY, THEN MONEY=SOLVING A PROBLEM.

 Like we said earlier, problems are everywhere including your immediate environment. So the question now is this. HOW MANY PROBLEMS HAVE I BEEN ABLE TO CATCH AND SOLVE? Oh! You’ve not been able to catch any? And you sometimes wonder why you are not making money? That’s the reason. You are not solving any problem. Small business opportunity is looking at you.

In Nigeria, there are over 170million people. Each of these persons have their own problem or problems even. And that means that we have over 170million problems in Nigeria. Do you now see why the Chinese, Indians and others are coming here to do businesses? The Indians, according to Rivers state governor, is building what will be the biggest fertilizer company in the world in Eleme, one of the local government area in Rivers state of Nigeria. Is that not a problem they are trying to solve? Will they not make money from it? Why not? So Nigeria has many people, and that means many problem.

But let’s focus attention on your own locality. Are there problems in your area? Are there needs? Well, I am not living with you in that area, but I can say for sure that there are problems that are begging to be solved, needs that are begging to be filled in your area. And you know what? You see these problems every day, they talk to you every day. Did you just say really? Yes. Problems talk to you through humans; they don’t have mouth of their own. When you hear somebody saying; “I wanted to take tea this morning, but there’s no good bread in this environment”. Is that a problem? Yes. Talking to you. And if you can bring good bread to that environment, have you solved that problem? Of course. Or you hear somebody saying; “I needed to drop my kids at school first before coming to work, and I need to pick them by 2pm. That’s what I do every day my dear”. Is that a problem talking to you? Yes. And let me reveal one secret to you today. If somebody is complaining about something, some people somewhere are also complaining about that same thing. So, if you can assist that woman to drop and pick her kids from school, you will definitely see other parents in that same school that will want you to do same for them. That is the fact. Wao! this is one of the Best Small Business Ideas. Is that what you are saying now?

You live in an area where many persons have vehicles, and every day, you see them driving out to have their car washed, what do you think is revealing itself to you? A Problem. If you solve the problem, will you be rewarded with money? Do not say these men will not give me their vehicles to wash. Yes it is true that some may not, because they are not sure of if you will wash it well. To such once, render a free service first just to show them how well you can wash. If you do it well the first time and free, will they come to you again? Will they recommend you to others? The answer is yes and yes. Another Small business opportunity.

So problems reveal themselves to us, they talk to us. All we need to do is to be a good listener. Listen to what people talk about, what they complain about especially. The experience am about to share with you, will teach you many more.

A young man, let’s call him martins, had admission into one of the universities here in Nigeria. After 3 months in school, he noticed that some persons in his hostel were always talking about fried yam. “They were always wishing that they can get fried yam nearby. You know, after the day’s activity, you get tired. With fried yam seller near the campus, you will never sleep hungry”, said martins. He saw that as a big opportunity. Out of his very busy schedule, martins made out time in the evenings for this business of frying yam. It was unbelievable to many that a man will want to go into that line of business. Martins said; “A lot of people laughed at me, some said am not serious with my studies. But the good thing was that I was making my money”. Martins got buyers from every corners of the university. From lecturers who said he was not serious with his studies to student. Demand for fried yam got so high, that he had to hire 6 persons to work for him, and at a point , he increased the number to 11. At 4 different spot, Martins Company so to say, was busy frying yam and fish and supplying to student and lecturers.

Before his 4^th year in school, the young man was already in money. 8 years after he graduated from that school, Martins is still doing his business. There was even a time he supported the school with #200,000.

What have you learn from this experience? Did Martins solve a problem? Yes. And did he make money from it? The answer is yes and still making money. So when you solve a problem or problems, money comes as a reward. Do you remember how he got the idea? He heard people in his hostel complaining about it. The complaint didn’t make sense to others, but it makes sense to Martins. While he was making things happen and making money at the end, others were watching him and getting nothing at the end.

His customers did not come from his hostel alone, even though the idea came from there. We shall start from here next time. But do not forget that MONEY IS A REWARD YOU GET WHEN YOU SOLVE A PROBLEM.

Always remember that news about great business ideas, ideas for businesses, best small business ideas, small business opportunity or opportunities, will continue to fly.
