Why Is It Hard To Find Good Business Ideas Here? by iwatch: 6:24am On Mar 18, 2018
Most of the business information shared here can hardly get you a car or house of your own.

Why is it hard to find big business ideas such that when you carry them out you get paid as much as 500k and above and u can repeat this many times?

The business section is like small thinkers den and real rich business men are not here.

Don't take this personal, it is just my observation.

I am not instant gratification hunter if not I won't be waiting for almost one year just to get just get a paying client for my idea.

What I mean is that at least let the effort expended be worth the while such that when it is pay day, you can boast of something good.

How do you justify working tirelessly and get paid just 100k after months?

we're use to buying and selling in Nigeria, there's a great diff in business and entrepreneurship... the former can't make you rich except you are already rich and invest massively in it, while the later would make you rich if you're creative, innovative, prudent and wise.

beside it not about buying or selling it how you buy and what you sell what you buy, for in instance Nigeria extract crude oil and sell to other countries whereas this countries refines it and sell for even more money.

to shock you, every company u listed sell something and they buy something... This is were most of you make the mistake when trying to define "entrepreneurship".

If u listed those up there as not into buying and selling, how do they make money?

you really don't have to think like that, to make money buying is not always necessary but selling. e.g knowledge, art, talent etc

Who do you buy talent from? or are land manufactured, people make business out of selling there ancestral land. Do not get me wrong business and entrepreneurship requires capital... greatness are usually notable among entrepreneurs than businesses, there's more risk in entrepreneurship than in businesses. uber has no car but yet are the largest taxi company in the world because of innovation and creativity, do you know you cannot make an 100% profit in buying and selling but you can do so when it comes to information sharing.
A business man buys and sells cement for instance at a paltry sum of 50 naira as profit on each bag of cement where as a creative dude buys that cement convert it into something of more value and sell at a higher price making more money. so therefore if you're doing business have enough money to start with if you wanna grow fast but if you're entrepreneur you could grow very fast with the aid of partnership and investors.

What do you call big business ideas?
Seems you seek 'get rich quick' business ideas that promise fantastic overnight rewards for little or no efforts?
Every business idea is a good idea if you can be patient and do what it takes to make the business work

bros, there is what is call business models. Every businesses have a business model which follows a stipulated process.

Some business model yield better and faster than others...decide where you want to be...

Most Nigerians still think like their parents and it amazes me even when there is the internet to research better ways to do things.

I can't fault your thinking sha... This is Nigeria after all.

If tell you it is possible to make 3Million in 7 days you may doubt it like an average Nigerian does, but that is not possible without getting the foundation works done, which takes time and money too.

Technology has changed things, make use of it. Find hot in demand products and sell to the market. You will make money faster but finding this type of market depends on how trained your brain and mind works.

When I created this thread I was working on a different product idea/project but it was stalled due to scrutiny by the boss who has to go through every damn papers before making payments. I can't blame the man because they cheat him too much, including his own brothers. A lot of folKs were affected but my profit from there alone is enough to get nice house and car to boot.

While that one is still on, I came up with another idea in May and our first deal, after series of meetings, will be done this week and I get to walk away with nothing less than 1M for each deal done.

My capital? I have spent less than 100k so far but the good thing is I have people working hard to make sure it becomes a reality and they all get a cut commission wise on recurring basis.

I have also recruited almost all my friends from school to cover their states of residence.

Business model, technology makes things different.

When I see people say instant gratification and fast money blah blah... I laugh and I don't blame such because this is Nigeria where the average thinking hardly changes from days of our grand parents, even though times has changed the average Nigeriah hardly changes.

It is not hard for me to use what I know to raise capital bros. In 2012 a friend gave me 10k and 7 days later I had 80k from that money. I have done this many times.

This year I turned 4k to almost 300k naira (but it is an internet based kind of business). In 2016 I turned $350 to $2500 in same business, I have done this many times,

however I have taken a break from it to focus on the new business model I am working on (not intending to share this with the public, so no PM)

You see the meat business in Nigeria? I am going to change and revolutionize how meats are sold in this country. Let it be known that you read it here first.


Happy new week fam smiley
