MAKE UP YOUR MIND TO START THAT SMALL BUSINESS TODAY.

I was coming back from somewhere with my lovely wife 3 days ago, and we saw a working class lady, according to her, supplying crayfish to market women who will in turn sell it to end users. Let me tell you the very method she used. She tied the crayfish in waterproof, #50 each. And she will give out 14 raps at #500. I and my wife were just looking at how passionately this beautiful lady was doing this business. Before we finally left her, she had made supplies to 16 market women. We shall come back to her later.

Let me use this opportunity to say this; I think you should make up your mind today to start that business idea that has been in your mind for some time now. Yes, am talking to you. The opportunity is there for you to start, and besides, the more time you spend thinking about that business idea, the more likely it is that you will drop it. This may not be the first business idea you have thought about, am I right? Maybe not.

Let me tell you something that will make it easy for you to make up your mind to start that wonderful top best business idea in your mind. Remember that, it will not make you money if it remains in your heart.

The first thing you need to do is “Doing what you are supposed to do”. And what is that you are supposed to do? Do you still remember what Okoro did? Am talking about that young formerly poor man who is now making money from molding and selling of blocks. He asked himself questions. One of the questions he asked himself was; what small business will grow in this environment? Because he asked the right questions, the right answers came. If you have not read that eye opening article, please read it here.

So ask yourself my brother, ask yourself my sister. What small business will grow in this my environment? That was what Kunle Oni did. You remember him? That laundry service guy who was able to attract over 1300 customers in less than 18 days. Yes, he succeeded because he did what he was supposed to do first and in the right environment, he started the right business. See his story here. Out of 340 buildings in his estate, he got 233 buildings. There are other lessons for you in that article, so please visit it.

In your area right now, there is something that is lacking, there is a need. And it is your responsibility, as someone who is searching for business ideas, to find what that need is. And if you are able to find and fill that need, you will be rewarded. In one of my article, I said that money is nothing but a reward for solving a problem or problems. So solve a problem today and get money as your reward.

So if that small business idea in your mind right now, is what your environment need, my best advice to you today will be; start without delay. Let me repeat that again. If it is a business that you feel like starting, and it is a business that your environment need, I will advise you to launch it. You definitely will make something from it. But if it is a business that you feel like starting, and you are not sure of how your environment will react to it, I will advise that you wait and make further findings.

 Ask questions about it, no what people think about it. Listen to what people are complaining about. That’s how people get their business idea.

Let’s go back to the crayfish supplier we talked about earlier. She is a very beautiful young lady, who chose to make extra income from crayfish selling. She visits different markets after work every Mondays and Thursdays to supply crayfish. Do you notice from the story that her market was very attractive? She gave out 14 raps for #500. After selling, market women will gain #200. That was the style she introduced so as to gain the market and she did gain the market.

However, she did what she is supposed to do first. And that is studying the markets and the market women. In the course of her studying them, she discovered that these women usually buy things in bits from other women and selling. That is what studying your environment will do for you too.

So my final word on this, will be, take a look at your environment again. Will it welcome that business idea in your mind? What are people talking about it? Or will you want to try this crayfish business in your area? If a working class lady is doing it and making something out of it, why not try it, and give it your full attention. Do not think of making big profit at once; Let it come little by little but regularly. That will be My best advice to you today.

You will not last in that business if you want to make big profit at once.
