Stop mixing biz with pleasure/personal life...



I used to be guilty of this. About one ASUU strike ago, I was so much occupied with gigs that I had to outsource some. I didn't know much people so I went to a job market where I could find people that can handle that particular project. I found two people and this is going to sound stupid but I hired this girl (particularly because she was fine) and a guy, mehn...



Before she submitted it, there was some delays but when she eventually did, mehn, I spent over 2 hours correcting the work and it still wasn't 'it' (according to the client) . Sadly, I lost that client. But I learned my lesson.



Another experience I had was with a guy friend of mine, we go way back since primary school and when I started to climb the money-making ladder, I put him through and everything. At times I outsource gigs to him and often times, he did quite well but other times, I was correcting repeatedly and cussing him too� (this went on for a while and was understandable because he was still learning but it was frustrating)



So at times, when I give him gigs to do for me... he would delay in submitting them and I would wave it off because he was my guy but there was a particular incident that happened and I said ... "Omo, you no b my guy again"



After that girl incident in delaying to submit my work, I made this principle that whoever I outsource work to, they submit a day or 2 earlier than when I ought to submit it to the client... (let's say I have to submit it by Friday, they should submit on Wednesday or Thursday latest)



So on that week, I outsourced two projects, one of them foked up after wasting two days, (I was so damn pissed �) and my guy who ought to have submitted on Saturday, he said Sunday, I said no yawa... on Sunday baba gave me another excuse for work wey I suppose submit on Monday... Omo for my mind I said, "Omo, you no b my guy again"


I cleared him and ever since that moment himself know sey he fok up because that isn't the first time.
