I was just checking him out, not that I really wanted any service from him.
if a bank can disappoint is it a man who will not fail you, not even a registered one for that matter.

Problem solved with bolded, you can stop wasting people's time now.

As for the Bank and registered man quote I don't even know how that co-relates. Mike has been honest, transparent and super-efficient so far and I'd use him over a registered, incompetent and dishonest shipping agent (there are loads off and on nairaland). Afterall the quality of the man makes the organization and not the other way round.

^ From your experience, what's the most effective marketing strategy for an information security expert in Nigeria that will generate more revenue for my information security business? How should I go about networking with other IT firms and schools?

What's your location?

Save this post,

When you start a business re-visit it.

Or better still, start a business and start paying everyone 30k from day 1.

Seems you were a "good boy" in school

www.selfdefense.com.ng has it

Another reason I don't advise everyone to go into Business.

Theater?

Long throat post. So wives are cooking machines?

Use waveapps for your accounting,

You won't need an accountant except maybe to modify your books to match ifrs,

It's free, easy to master and cloud based so you can use it from anywhere.

Just get your secretary to enter transactions daily.

I use it for different businesses and can tell you profit, bank balances, income and expenses anytime, anywhere there's internet.

hello folks...

It has been a while. I am glad to announce that it has been one year now since this journey started and i thank God for his Grace, strength and provisions. I also want to thank you all for your support and follow up.

The year will officially end next month (September) and i will surely mark it. I may not organize an end of year party, but i will sure do something.

Over the course of the year, i experienced a lot of things, being in the low and in the high. Got financially stranded, made some money, made lots of mistakes, had quarrels, ended professional relationships, made new friends, etc.

Over the year, my company was able to complete some minor jobs; supply this and that, install this and that, provide this and that service from other organizations. Overly, the projects put together was a net worth of almost 2 million naira.

This was not my target, but i see it as a beautiful start. And am grateful to God for it. Truthfully, i made some mistakes.


LOW POINTS (MISTAKES)
First, one of my mistakes was mismanagement of funds. This is not one of my strong attributes and i really have to do something about it. I have no idea how to go about this but i believe i will learn with time. Though i really want to employ an accountant but i think the company has not grown up to that level yet.

I was also distracted by some other things. Initially, i emphasized that if you are starting up, it is good to get your company busy with other things to keep income flowing so in case the contract award letter hasn't come, you wont liquidate. Well, i got involved in other things that were supposed to generate income for my organization, but i went in too deep and ended up distracted from my initial focus. I got my fingers burnt, I learnt my lessons and thank God am back on track.

I guess my low turnout was as a result of this distraction.

We also did some jobs to which payment has not come till this day, more recently, was the job we did for one of the Local Government Office here in Delta State.

HIGH POINTS
Currently, my company have 2 permanent staff (secretary, administrative/business development officer), I also have one part time consultant working with my organization. he is an expert in contract procedures and he is based in Port Harcourt.

We have also sealed a partnership agreement with an ICT company in New York, United States and i hope the partnership brings good tidings.

We are on the verge of getting an award letter signed by Delta State Government on a job that will last the next four years (and hopefully extended in the next tenure). We've scaled through the first stage, and we are now in the second stage which is the crucial one. The third stage is not rocket science.

NEXT YEAR PROJECTIONS
- Hopefully, it is my dream and target for the firm to get registered with a variety of multinationals including SPDC, NDDC, Agip, Sterling Global and Federal University of Petroleum Resources.

- Get an accountant to handle our finances.

- Get an official vehicle for the firm.

And by his Grace, i hope our annual turnover next year will be in the excess of 10 million naira. I am not in a hurry, I want to grow gradually, understanding the system and also try not to be greedy chasing money i know i can never get (for the now). Let us be realistic, My firm is just starting, so I am not expected to start chasing contracts worth 50 million or 100 million naira. If i do this, i am just deceiving myself.

If what i can get from a deal is 200k, good. If what i can get is 800k, good, i will go for it. Gradually, i will grow.

I will be back to drop more updates.

Answering some rumors makes them more popular

Seeking for jobs or creating jobs is a matter of choice. Like deciding to marry a fair or dark wife. All lead to the same destination - making a living.

I've run businesses practically all my life but when friends come to ask me for advice, it's only very few I'd tell to start a business, from indiscipline, to financial mis-education, to lack of prioritisation skills, refusal to learn, unlearn and relearn, inability to delegate, inability to persevere, lack of focus, zero selling and networking skills, poor business sense and co, there are so many things that'd send the average person on a highway to business failure.

My sentiments are the same with the poster. A lot of people would thrive better in a disciplined, structured and regulated environment than in trying to create one.

Search yourself before starting a business before you wreck yourself!

You become great not by avoiding challenges, but by facing and surmounting them. No matter how long you hide as an employee after 35 years you'd be kicked out, if you keep doing the wrong things in a business no matter how long you won't see success.

There's no advantage to either but some people are more suited to one than the other.

Nice

It would be great if the amount of churchgoers meant a reduction in criminals

DualCore1:
Well, most webhosts offer 30-day money back guaranty. You can get a refund from your webhost if you're still within the 30-day window.

I think I just dropped a stone on my foot.

Money back covers domains?

Why do free? Free/Cheap clients are always the worst!

If u insist on free don't register any domain, build in folders or let them access the sites via IP ipadress/~username


If they don't pay, sell as a ready made website to a similar company(just small editing) or add to your portfolio, win-win

That's how he kept quiet and was propaganda-ed out of power. He hasn't learnt

Whizzcute:
Former President Goodluck Jonathan has opted to remain silent despite the barrage of questions
requiring answers from him by not just newsmen, but Nigerians in general on his handling of the
nation’s affairs.



Jonathan said he will, for now, rather remain silent.
According to his spokesperson while in office, Dr Reuben Abati, the former president has asked him to
tell those seeking to speak with him, especially newsmen that he is resting.


In an article entitled: “The phones no longer ring,” Abati, the Special Adviser on Media to Jonathan, said
he has had to deal with barrage of requests for interview with his former boss.

He, however, said Jonathan had told him to inform those making the requests that he is resting.
In the article in which Abati appeared to be at pains as to the stoppage of the numerous phone calls
that he got while in office, but most of which he did not attend to, he explained: “Today, the phones
remain loudly silent, with the exception of calls from those friends who are not gloating, who have been
offering words of commendation and support.


“They include childhood friends, former colleagues, elderly associates, fans, and family members.
“And those who want interviews with President Jonathan, both local and international – they want his
reaction on every development, so many of them from every part of the planet.


“But he is resting and he has asked me to say he is not ready yet to say anything.
“It is truly, a different moment, and indeed, ‘no condition is permanent.’

“The ones who won’t give up with the stream of phone calls and text messages are those who keep
pestering me with requests for financial assistance.

“I am made to understand that there is something called “special handshake” and that everyone who
goes into government supposed to exit with carton loads of cash.

“I am in no position to assist such people, because no explanation will make sense to them.
“Here I am, at the crossroads; I am glad to be here.”
In the opening paragraphs of the article, which was earlier published by this news website, Abati said:
“As spokesman to President Goodluck Jonathan, my phones rang endlessly and became more than
personal navigators within the social space.

“They defined my entire life; dusk to dawn, all year-round.
“The phones buzzed non-stop, my email was permanently active; my twitter account received tons of
messages per second.

“The worst moments were those days when there was a Boko Haram attack virtually every Sunday.”
