WITH THE LITTLE YOU HAVE YOU CAN START THE BEST BUSINESS

Am sure you know at least 2 persons in your area that are thinking of the right business to start.

They think business during the day and think business at night. They are asking themselves; what is the best small business I can start? I think this question will sound more mature if you say; what small business, will this my environment welcome? To some, their own problem is “I don’t have enough capital to start”.

We shall look at “I don’t have a enough money to start” people first. After which, we will look at those who are thinking about what to start in their area. The success story of Okoro will take care of that.

You can start a small business with that little money you have. I said that because, almost all the big businesses you know today, start their businesses with what they had. Silverbird Nigeria is one of the biggest entertainment industries in Africa. It has television houses, radio houses, cinemas, gallerias and many more. Making millions of dollars annually. But when they started, their international headquarter was just a table in the corner of another man’s shop. Today, it is a different story.

Kentucky fried chicken {KFC} has over 14,000 outlets all over the world. They serve people fried chicken, the second largest in that sector. Second only to mc Donald. In 2013, income from this business was $23billion. How did this business start? Harland sanders, a retired soldier started this company {Kentucky fried chicken} from his dining table at a very old age. From dining table to over 14,000 outlets. Even after his death, the company is still doing very well.

I will like you to read about other very big businesses in your area. One common thing you will discover is the fact that they started small, very small.

You can start small and grow from there. That is the truth. Even if you have money to start big, my advice to you today, will be to start that business small, understand it, before you think of expanding.

So what this article is emphasizing is that with the little you have, you can start. If you think deep enough, what you have will be enough.

In 2014, Okoro was living in a new developing area. With the little money he had, Okoro was always asking himself; “what business can I start in this area?” let’s stop and think. What small business idea do you have for Okoro’s area? I know many of you will talk about cooked food business. Of course, that’s one of the best small businesses for that area. But for the men, who will not want to do food business, what business opportunity are you seeing here? See the business idea Okoro came up with after some days.

In just 4 days, he learnt and practice how to mold blocks. With the little he had, he bought 4 bags of cement and a trip of sand. And he started molding blocks and was selling to those who were in need of molded blocks in that area. Do you think that was the best business idea for that area? Yes.

The very first challenge Okoro had was that the profit was very small. “I taught of quitting many times. But my second taught was always quit and do what?” He said. Okoro continued, and was gathering the little little profit. But today, Okoro said “I can buy 500 bags of cement at once”.

What can you pick from that experience? The lesson I pick is that we can start with what we have. If okoro was waiting for big money to start, I don’t think he will be in this business today.

He started small, even though the business was not encouraging at the beginning, he continued, he fixed the rough edges, understood the business and then grow.

 Is this a business you can try in your area? if yes, why not give it a try. ask the necessary questions, get the necessary training and start.
