That's nice!
but hope you aren't thinking of buying these bags from cotonou because to the best of my knowledge, bringing these things from cotonou is illegal because most of them come into Nigeria through smuggling because they re contraband?

That's OK, and it's good you aren't thinking of doing your business the illegal way.

I wish you well, babe!

lies!

when starting a business, never allow your village people to know!!



secondly, other people in the business will want to knock you out, so fortify yourself..

yes, get help from a strong witch (not from your village)


for one month, every midnight by 12am, walk nakeed (not unclad) into a thick forest close to a river carrying a black calabash tied with 7 red ribbons, and place your left hand on your chest shouting out loud:

"lions by my side, eagles above me; enemies of progress, be gone! go! go!"




do this and your business will boom

Plan B' is only for those that doesn't know much about the business they're going into. If you pass through apprenticeship, you'll be equipped mentally for the business and what you'll need here is, capital, strategic place for your business, focus and mastering of money. You need to master money and its rules b'cos it has wings and can fly.
Since life on its own recognize disappointment, then it's important we put this into whatever we intend doing. This disappointment is the plan b I talked about.

Since learning in whatever means doesn't guarantee 100% success afterward, then I won't be wrong if I desire to have a plan b.

Why did adenuga need conoil when globacom was given him lots of money? it's simply because if globacom fails to make positive return, conoil will still keep him at the zenith of richest men.

Creating or starting a business is a huge commitment. It’s not an uncertain path, and often features details you may never have considered. To make sure you have covered all your bases before kicking off your business adventure, Jumia Travel, the leading online travel agency, shares some of the things you must do before starting a business.

Do your research

One of the essential things to do before starting a business is to research the competitive landscape. You do not venture into a business because you have a brilliant idea. If you can’t offer something better or cheaper than your competitors, you may want to re-think starting a business in that area.

Ask yourself why


Every entrepreneur should be able to answer the question, Why are you doing this? It seems like a simple question, but you may be going into it for the wrong reasons. It does not matter if it is for money or for the passion. What is needed is for you to have both and maintain focus. Outside of that, you are probably wasting your time.

Network

Networking helps you get potential partners and investors. You need to attend events where you will need to talk with many entrepreneurs, who have either succeeded or failed. The most helpful advice to learn is the impact of their lifestyle including finances, personal relationships, and health.

Get a mentor

A new business owner should have a mentor. The mentor will offer his advice as well as experience to keep you on track and ensure you do not lose focus.

Survey your target market

Determine and survey a focus group of the target demographic for the service or product you are offering. You must ensure that you are delivering what your customer wants, not what you want.

Seek legal advice

This is another important point entrepreneurs must take note of before officially opening a new business. They should seek legal counsel. Do not make the assumption that legal counsel is only necessary when you get into trouble with the law.

Capital is up to you and depending on what you want to do...

Plan B...it also involves all of those write up....

Looking at this thread I cant help but wonder how we aren't curious about what would positively influence us. You can imagine a thread on starting a business still on page1 after hours of hitting frontpage... In a time there's serious job deficit.
Re: 6 Things To Do Before Starting A Business by Syphonn(m): 6:46pm On Jul 26, 2017
YOUR CAREER: TAKE A LEAP OF FAITH

Changing jobs is an important decision in anyone’s life. Before you take the leap, weigh all your options carefully and in an informed way.

Falz, one of the most respected and fast growing musicians in the Nigerian music industry. this wouldn't have been so if he had not decided to drop his LL.B with faith and leaped to what he had the passion for. coupled with his endorsements and also being an actor, he has made it in life. Living the life of his dreams.

The decision to resign from your job is not an easy one. You can wear yourself out by turning the doubts over and over in your mind: how do you know you are doing the right thing? What if it is just as bad at the next place.

The rate at which you are going with this your folly, in the name of seeking attention, you may well soon beat NwaAmaikpe in the race for the most dumbest post on Nairaland.

Nice one OP! All what you have outlined here is very beneficial to me, even though I have been in business long enough. You cannot be too wise in this modern day world of entrepreneurship.
