MOVING FORWARD - THE TRUMPET APPROACH (The Minding your business series)

💃/KEEP MOVING FORWARD 💃🚗- KEEP MOVING FORWARD 💃🚗✈ - KEEP MOVING FORWARD💃🚗✈🚀/



 Business is about providing a service and earning from it.  Do you write well?  Can you speak convincingly?  Can you think deeply?  Can you make bags, clothes?  Are you a great cook?  Can you sell anything?  Any of these can become a full blown business.  Many have succeed already at these, and many more will.  Have you been minding your business? 

Your idea can be extra ordinary or just ordinary; it doesn't matter.  What is important is that it meets a need and you are convinced that it makes sense.  When you can convince yourself, you can convince anyone.
You convince anyone by what you give.  Adopt the "trumpet approach".

The TRUMPET APPROACH is showing off your skill(s) as often as you can.  Talk about it, use it freely.  Do this creatively and your selling points will begins to rise.  By the time you launch out fully, it will be quite natural for your crowd because they have seen you do it in the past with ease.

The first thing you want to do is convince people, not force them into buying.  Once people trust you, they are more likely to buy from you.

Don't wait until you have registered a business name, set up your office or have enough money.  Start now where you are and as you are.

'Success belongs to those who take action and remain committed'.  Success is moving forward - so start moving!

ITS TIME TO MIND YOUR BUSINESS (part 2)

The Direct & Indirect Entrepreneur

Whether you were born to be an entrepreneur or not here is some advice - develop yourself in what interests you.

The Direct Entrepreneur
For example, you love to teach. Great! Have you done any teaching in the last 12 months? Start with your kids, your neighbour's kids, kids in church or your local association. Then move on to organizing summer school through a collaboration with your church or local association.  The number of times you can successful duplicate this process will increase your expertise & determine how quickly you will grow.

The Indirect Entrepreneur
As an employee, if you continue to develop yourself in your field of interest, you grow to become an expert & as your earnings improve you can invest in an entrepreneur. In this way, you become co-founder, co-owner or partner just like that!

These are the two experts -
   i) The direct Entrepreneur  - a risk taker
  ii) The indirect Entrepreneur - who down plays his risk by investing in an entrepreneur.

 I have tried my hands on a couple of successful business ventures & now I'm consolidating on my interests & field - financial management + advisory. Even with a current 'small' client base, I know it will eventually pay off as I continue to develop myself in this area.

You have every reason to succeed because life is not about who gets there first, because you WILL get there!
So fill up your mind 'tank' with loads of enthusiasm & determination & lets go!

Till next time

THAT SPECIAL GIFT!!!!

What makes giving special?

 

First, the intention TO GIVE, and then the thought put into the giving process.


You give not because you have too much; but because you are grateful for what you have. There can be no better way of expressing gratitude than by giving.

HEALTH IS PRICELESS!

And so today, as I promised... consider this - Giving a gift of HEALTH.


Health is priceless! Have you ever felt sick, really sick? Then you know what it means to be hale & healthy. There are a number of persons willing to give anything to be healthy. Why not give someone this gift this season?


'I can't afford it', may be your response, but you will be amazed to find that you can by taking extra steps to inquire. Let me give you an example. Not so long ago, I discovered that with N15,000 (less than $ 90) you can get a full year health plan. And yes, it includes benefits like consultations, drugs, maternity, tests, etc. I know it, I have seen it and have been a part of it.


So why not give something different, something that the giver will not be able to repay back - the gift of a full year health benefit.


Are you interested? Send me a mail - kleanwash@gmail.com for more information.

Remember – information remains the new currency.
HAPPY HOLIDAY!



PLEASE READ!!!!!

During the holiday period, there is a tendency to over indulge. Here are some expert tips.

1) Think quality not quantity. Instead of buying a cheap gift that may not be appreciated, invest in a Card - that has a well crafted & heartfelt message (words that hug you like a duvet!).

2) Plan your spending. Draw up a list of the things you are buying. Go to the market, mall with this list to reduce the temptation to over spend!

YOU CAN STILL W-I-N!

Everyone’s goal in life is to win. It’s perfectly normal to win some and lose some, unless you are not being true to yourself.

Do you have a hectic work schedule? Have you been trying to save up some money to start a business? Are you dealing with declining profits? Don’t worry, you are about to boost your chances!

As the holidays draw near, how do you create a WIN-WIN situation in business, your personal life or job??????????????????

DO S-O-M-E-T-H-I-N-G BIG FOR SOMEONE!

For a BUSINESS - Buy a unique gift for each customer. Forget about the branded mugs, jotters, pens, etc. get a real personal and special gift. For example – buy a bouquet of flowers for a female customer with a note attached – ‘From Company A. we love you’. Or you can do something obvious for your community; plan a Christmas visit to an orphanage, or show massive support for a local initiative.

For an INDIVIDUAL – Are you thinking of starting a business with a friend, a colleague? Then buy an interesting book on the subject matter. For example a book on ‘great partnership’. Remember to include your name and a heartfelt message. Also, remember your boss. Please get something for the big man!

A WIN-WIN

In the end, you make someone feel appreciated and boost your chances in work, greater business patronage or business opportunity.
So get going for “your position determines your attraction”.

This will create more rewarding and earning opportunities in the coming year.
