LITTLE THING THAT MATTERS: Where did you learn the thing you consider vital

Where did you learn the things you consider vital, strategic and fundamental to your life?

Is it in a formal learning environment, I mean in the classroom, the normal school setting?

Where did you learn the things you consider vital, strategic and fundamental to your life?

Is it from your Peers in the school, outside the classroom, during play?

INTERPRET THE SUBTLE AND HEAR THE UNSPOKEN!

Dear All, SMEs and Start-ups especially,

Please, allow me to jog your memory with what may be considered very obvious; something you probably know, which is: 

Your successes in business among other factors depend largely on your ability to do the following:

• Interpret the subtle
• Hear the unspoken.

Sounds very familiar, I guess?

PRODUCT PACKAGING IS NOT FOR OUTRAGEOUS INCREASE IN THE UNIT PRICE OF PRODUCTS

By Nnabugwu Chizoba

Dear All, entrepreneurs and start-ups in particular,

Did you read our first piece entitled entrepreneurship skills development: beyond public speaking? Do you still recall what we discussed, the issues raised?

Never mind, let me update you. Our focus was the use of motivational speakers as entrepreneurship skills development Consultants and trainers. We identified the federal, States and Local governments, their Agencies, boards and parastatals, groups, organizations and individuals as the culprits.

We stopped at the point we asked you to ponder over the issue presented. Please click herehttp://www.belfordscorelines.com/2019/04/entrepreneurship-skills-development.html for the previous piece.

ENTREPRENEURSHIP SKILLS DEVELOPMENT: BEYOND PUBLIC SPEAKING

By Nnabugwu Chizoba

Dear All, Nigerian entrepreneurs and start-ups in particular,

The efforts to grow your business, talking of those in business already; or to go into one venture or the other as start-ups are without mincing words very noble, comparable to the effort of anybody in the land, the status or nomenclature ascribed to him/her notwithstanding.

BORROWING: INFROMATION MAKES THE DIFFERENCE

By Nnabugwu Chizoba (Charismatic Chizy)

 

Dear All, entrepreneurs and start-ups in particular, let me start this piece on this note:

To manage a business is to manage its information, and to manage its information is to manage the business. Discuss.

Please, pause here and ponder over the statement. It is one of the assignments I encountered in the early days of my tertiary education. It was given to us by Mr. Chijioke, our lecturer. He was a young, handsome and very easy going type who will not miss any opportunity to discipline a student the moment mischief, stupidity, or ignorance sets in. He is one lecturer that treated us like mates. His assignment left an indelible mark in my heart about information. I have deliberately avoided the use of his second name or attach any initial to his name in this write-up. To us, his name is Mr. Chijioke, no more, no less.

BORROWING: HONOUR THE GOLDEN RULE

By Nnabugwu Chizoba

Dear All, entrepreneurs and start-ups in particular,

Are you in need of money for business? Do you want to borrow?
 

Wait a minute. Do I understand it well? You mean your business is in need of money and you want to raise it from another business? Isn’t this amazing, interesting and noble? But let’s get it right.

SUSTAINABLE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN NIGERIA: “ONE-LOCAL GOVERNMENT-ONE PRODUCT” IS THE BLUEPRINT OF GOVERNEMNT TO SHOWCASE THE ENTREPRENEURS

Nnabugwu Chizoba (Charismatic Chizzy)

“The abnormality in which members of the Public and the three tiers of government invite, deploy and promote people engaged in Public speaking as entrepreneurship and business development practitioners is not good enough. It is not only inimical but also a colossal waste of scarce resources. Public Speaking though very good, is not what is needed to develop the structures that will drive OLOP, MSMEs and of course a sustainable Entrepreneurship eco-system in Nigeria”… Nnabugwu Chizoba.
