goldendiamond: I explained to her why a service driven business is more profitable than selling products. she obeyed and I later enrolled her for training under an experienced make up artist. today she makes average of 80k monthly - a young girl with just OND certificate. thats the power of training and seeking for wisdom.

knowledge is power.
what you know is what you are
what you know is what you av learnt
what you av learnt is not all there is to know so seek more knowledge.
never ever stop learning and if you must change your financial status this year, you need to go for training and you need a mentor.

goldendiamond: in any business venture if you fail to plan, you've already planned to fail. planning is the key to excelling in life. most people dont plan not because they dont want to but because they dont know how to.for a seminar to be successful you av to take time out to plan & device winning strategies.the simple way is to follow this step by step guide as presented by the gurus I also learnt from. keep following.

HOW TO PLAN A SEMINAR

1. WHAT INFORMATION DO YOU HAVE TO OFFER:
- you need to stay within your area of strength
- you need to specialize and focus on specification
- you need to have powerful information
- you need to brand yourself

2. WHO ARE YOUR TARGET AUDIENCE:
- poor people, average people, wealthy people, pastors, students etc
- locate where your targets are
- study your targets and discover vital baits
- tell them what will catch their attention

goldendiamond: For all those sending emails about business name registration.its a wise move as having a CAC certificate has several benefits(few are listed below):
1. it validates your business
2. it will boost your business proposals
3. it may be required in sourcing loans
4. it will help u in attracting biz partners
5. it is required in opening a current account in your biz name
6. it will help u in getting investors
7. it gives your biz a legal identity

visit the nearest CAC office and pay N200 for "availability form". pay N250 for a "green file folder". fill the form, attach your passport photo and submit then go back after two weeks.if your business name is approved,pay the sum of[b] N4000,[/b] submit the green file folder and ask the officers when to come for your certificate. if you fail to pay within 60 days your biz name will be cancelled & if your name is rejected,you will have to repeat the process.however as simple as this process may seem,most biz names get rejected because of one major factor

I abandoned nairaland for over 6 years now because 99% percent of the posts here, at that time, were filled with insults and childish behaviours. Even a post as richly rewarding as this one, would have been labelled "419" or people would have started insulting each other's tribes, religions or political parties in the comments.

I salute all of you for what you have done in keeping this wonderful post free of such negative distractions.

That said, I am also an Entrepreneurship Coach and I will like to support what the OP is doing here. I am mostly based abroad (France, Brazil, Dubai and Ghana) but I am presently in Nigeria to launch a new business support network. I don't want to mention the name here for ethical reasons.

But, seeing that the topic under discussion currently is: "How to Organise Seminars", please let me offer you all a manual which I wrote on it and offered to my students. I am sure you can combine the information in my manual with all the GREAT lessons you have learned here.
