In the business world we are today, many businesses are finding it difficult to survive. Some businesses have been operating for years and believe me, at the moment, they can't count their achievement, they are struggling to survive. Some business brands have been forced to shut down not because they don't have the capital, simply because they don't have the technical know-how.

The simple advise that can be given to any entrepreneur is to do its assignment very well before venturing in any kind business. He or she should be well prepared to be face the challenges in the business world, especially when it comes to managing brand.

My name is Quadri A. Adewuyi, I happen to be the brand manager of a renowned company, Nouz-Bogg Innovations, a Branding Agency Company. The company has a blog titled NB.I. academy where you learn anything and everything about brand management, graphic designing, web designing, business development, photography, communication, digital marketing etc.

I will be updating us here regularly on topics being treated on the blog and we shall all share our view on it.

Check my next post for our first topic shared here.

'You can never be as rich as Dangote if you work for someone as an employee'...'You can never be as successful as Mark Zuckerberg if you are going up and down looking for job'...'People that are big in life are no more than employers'.

These and more are what you hear day in day out when it comes to labour market. People have forgotten, or maybe they intentionally skip it, that human beings are blessed differently. Not all of us can be employers, some people have tried and they fail. Some are very good when it comes to being employee,no matter how much you push that kind of people to be employer, they can not fit in well.

Before you run any business in life, first ask yourself the following questions;

1. What is my personal initiative and discipline like?
2. What is my attitude towards risk taking?
3. What is my general attitude like? Maybe when I do ajob, do i feel good?

If you want to know if you are any employee or employer, then it is a must for you to read this article written by the academy titled,

Are you an Employee or employer?

In the business world we are today, a lot of businesses are folding up simply because they find it difficult to compete successfully with their competitors. There might be a lot of reasons for this, one of the major (if not the only reason) is your brand positioning -your brand positioning is very important in determining whether you will succeed or not.

A company being run without having a clear brand positioning statement is just gambling with her business.

in 2001, Amazon sold his most book with this brand positioning statement,

“For World Wide Web users who enjoy books, Amazon.com is a retail bookseller that provides instant access to over 1.1 million books. Unlike traditional book retailers, Amazon.com provides a combination of extraordinary convenience, low prices, and comprehensive selection.”

Are you in a business mess and you don't know how to go about? Have you been running your business for sometime now but you still find yourself struggling to survive?

i think I have A SOLUTION.

Read this article and thank me later. It is written by NB.I. Academy tilted,

Starting can be as challenging as anything, especially when it comes to deciding whether you are to be producing the product you want to be selling yourself or maybe you should go into franchise or even maybe you should render services.

What Makes a Great Intuitive Logo



Let us start with these quotes,

"A logo that has pointless decoration will never be trustworthy. A logo can never be too simple."

"If a black and white copy of your logo loses detail, it’s pretty much like misspelling your name"

A great logo is the foundation you lay for your business, It determines how your customers see your brand; it also determines the future of your business -your logo provides a fantastic springboard.

A logo gives the outside a world an instant visual impression of your brand; a good one is worth a thousand words, and plenty more besides.
It’s not an easy gig to craft out the wonderful vision of your company in an iconic logo that will make a positive psychological representation in the mind of your potential customers.

Often than not, entrepreneurs usually seek out for this kind of great logo but it is unfortunate they end up getting a non-professional logo.
To help you turn the image in your head into a commercial reality, we asked our designers what exactly makes a great intuitive logo. They came up with seven(7) different answers, each of which is equally valid.

When you’re designing your logo, you may wish to use these ‘magnificent seven’ characteristics as a check-list, to measure the potency and viability of your image.

Check them up here:

NB.I. Academy Quote of the Day

It is commonly misconceived that the way to the heart of your customers is by having a sweet strong ad campaign.

According to Howard Schultz, CEO of Starbucks, this is very wrong. Any business built on such we quckily go down as they rise.

Which way should your brand be built, read it below...

SCHOOL KILLS ENTREPRENEURS; YES OR NO?


Spending more than 21 years in school to obtain first degree certificate 'no b moi moi'. Along the way, some scale through while others did not.

The question now is, does it even worth it to spend that numbers of years in prison (which they school)? In the prison, we were not taught how to create jobs but rather how to be job seekers, we were not tutored to be creative thinkers, we were taught that taking little risk is part of life but rather we were thought to run away from risk. In summary, the school kills our entrepreneurs!

If you look at the world today, the best entrepreneurs are made outside the four walls of school.

Little did the realise that Bill Gates was making jest of them when he said,

“I failed in some subjects in exam, but my friend passed in all. Now he is an engineer in Microsoft and I am the owner of Microsoft.”

When we are talking about unemployment in Africa, people start mentioning government, some will say bad economy. I disagree with both.

THE ONE AND ONLY CAUSE OF UNEMPLOYMENT IS SCHOOL.

You don't agree with me, then i strongly suggest you click on the link below to read more about this.

I also implore you to make use of the comment box at the end of the post to express your own view and suggestion.

Thank you.

Recently, we published an article that encouraged us to be selling a self-produced product other than someone else's.

If you are finding it difficult or impossible to produce your own product, there is a next opportunity for you which is FRANCHISING.

Simply put, franchising is the right given by a manufacturer to an agent to sell his or her product or brand on his or her behalf in order for the agent to make some profit by selling the products/ brand in a price slightly higher than the manufacturer's. The agent's price can be determined by himself or herself or by the supplier (manufacturer).

There are many people around operating this kind of businesses and are making a lot of money from it. we have businesses in which they only deal in selling Coca-cola products and they are making a lot of profit from this.
