Apparently, during the seminar, Mr Walter Osondu (not real name) was invited to speak in our Annual school program has told us to start taking actions.
In his word, "Did you know why you are not making money yet? Because you have refused to take actions. You don't need to see the clearer picture or how it will end, just start"
"The greatest risk is playing it safe, there is so much money in poultry farming, you should exploit it. Check other Industries"
He killed it all when he backed up his claims with Charts and analogies. I could see the bewildered eyes of every student in the hall.
Just after the lectures, Bayo approached me praising Mr Walter.
"Mr Walter is a God sent, I never knew such opportunity exist", Bayo said
Bayo has made up mind and nothing is going to discourage him not to venture into poultry management.
I love his zeal and ambitions but I advised he gain more knowledge on the business.
He didn't heed my advice but insisted he will be wasting more time after all, he has some basic knowledge.
Now, Bayo has rushed into poultry farming and he has rushed out after losing close to a million naira blaming the motivational speaker
Now this is for you that is dragging motivational speakers or planning to blame them.
Don't you reason? Will you disown your family of they ask you to? Will you divorce your wife if motivational speaker ask you to?
But you have ventured into that business, failed and here you are blaming motivational speakers.
Get sense.
Before you start that business, no matter the money involved,
1. Have a business plan, it will help you to know the end from beginning
2. Identify and Invest.
Identify the niche you want to venture in and invest heavily to learn more about them. Because a lady is beautiful outside does not mean her house is clean. Don't you see that that make up she is wearing is decieving you.
3. Patience is a virtue:
The female genders are amazing, If there is anything you should learn from ladies, it's that patience they have to sit for hours making their hair and applying make up just to look beautiful. We need to also apply same in starting a business too. Don't rush it, take your time so that it will come out beautiful.
4. Know the Don in that field.
Now there are things I see in business plan, where they say know your competitors. Hmmm.. Are they competing with you or you are competing with them. You are yet to start your business, so see them as your mentors.
Learn from them until your brand can compete with them.
5. Start.
After you must have gathered all fact and figures, and acquired enough knowledge, you can start.
Don't be like Bayo, the earliest you learn to take responsibility for your actions and stop playing blame games, the better for you.
