If he finishes here he should go to the white house in US and speak to them and then to Russia and then to Israel. He can even go to heaven and speak to Allah. He will still not rule Nigeria.

I will still not vote for him

Yet she seems to live a happy life and working hard towards her dreams. What more can I say ?

We surely have every reason to give praise to God and be happy no matter the challenge we have.

Damage control. It's not working

Ability to cope with all these heats is the hall mark of democracy. GEJ has taken it in 5 years without any threat. If GMB can't stand these attacks now then PDP may be right in saying the man is just a dictator, who can never change.

Actually Buhari did not meet with Blair.

I'm very sure about this.

Dont ask my reasons, but I know what I'm saying.

Just wait a little more time.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF HAVING A BUSINESS PLAN?

It seems that from my discourse above the benefits of having a business plan should have been obvious. But to maintain the flow of the class, let me give you what I consider the main 5 benefits of a business plan.

1. Business plan helps you define your objectives clearly. No more "fossy-hazzy" (I dont even know what that word means) I want to go into this or that or this is what I'm doing and so on. You'll have a clear path of what you're into and where you're going.

2. You'll be able to identify your costs, challenges, risks, competitions and market potentials and future prospects.

3. It will help you to prioritize and follow with whats important and force you to delegate tasks efficiently.

4. It will help you to minimize legal problems. By knowing what and what kinds of licenses and permits you need and how and when to a least apply, you'll reduce chances of litigation.

5. It will help you get proper advise and funding...yes.

NOTE

Business plan is not done just to get funding. Its more than that. You need a business plan to keep yourself on track, maintain momentum and make progress in your business.

Talk to you later

My original post where I listedted some business ideas on the first page was deleted, why na?

eagleeye2:
I chose transport business, because I love cars and have passion for anything automobile. I love being at the mechanic and haggling with them. Picking the brains over different spare parts and their usefullness.
Moreover, this business affords me the time to focus on family after my daily toil at the office.

This is why it may be working for you. Other than that, bro, I no send you o.

And thats why i talked about passion as the first thing you must sit down and look into

semasir:
Must it be wp? I can assist you with a Joomla portal that is ideal and easy to use. Let's talk with the contacts on my signature

Actually WP is simpler and more user friendly and has a great userbase out there. Meaning you wont get lost anytime, no matter the issue you have.

OP, If you dont mind, I will set it up for you for free. Do you have hosting and domain ready? I am very good with wordpress.

Download my latest book free and you can contact me from the link.

Its titled 50 business ideas to multiply your income. I also talked about 12 ways to run a ecommerce store.

jaeik:
IS Not that easy bro. I need something that will hardly need my physical presence. more so I have access to the internet, is there something i can do legitimately as well as lucrative?

There are businesses you can setup and people can manage them for you. But you still have to show up once in while. I asked if you have a passion for anything, it could be turned into a business.

If you are looking to lower your capital risk, then I'd highly recommend service related business types like car wash center, dry cleaning, etc.

For internet business, sure, you can setup an ecommerce store and sell just one type of stuff.

I wrote a guide on running an ecommerce store.

http://higherbase.com/topic/how-to-start-and-run-a-successful-ecommerce-store-12-step-by-step-must-follow-rules/

To read that guide on the site one needs to be an executive member, sorry about that.

I know there are other internet businesses, like forex, binary option...but like I said, they are risky.

You may also try affiliate marketing. Please be careful here, because your biggest problem will be too much information. If you are interested, I may make a few contribution on it.

Then I also recommend kindle publishing.

Opari.

I'll be back

eagleeye2:
Do you have the capital?
Do you have the patience, to accept all the bull shits?
.
I don't know about you. But I found myself thinking about an alternative source of income that will require little or no physical input from me. I chose on business many people consider "a no go area".......
I chose transportation. I have heard all the stories there's to hear......I have seen all the excuses, someone can make just to avoid meeting target......yet am still in it.
.
2years and counting. Am still here.
I just lower my expectations, but AT ALL ALL, NA EM WORSE PASS.

Transportation?

God forbid.

I invested close to 2 million on that and it failed. I had to sell the buses after they made it unusable for 40k one.

That is a very risky area, unless you will be involved full-time and have the heart to stomoach stories.

But if you have a different approach than, either higher purchase, lease, rent, interstate, I'd be grateful to learn. Thanks bro

SO WHO NEEDS A BUSINESS PLAN?

I'll be quick on this one and go straight to the point. The simple answer is:

YOU.

Yes, you.

You are the one who needs a business plan.

I said this in one of our class and one of the students said, "but I'm just a blogger, I dont need a business plan. Does Linda Ikeji have a business plan? "

"Well," I replied, "I dont know if Linda have a business plan or not, but what I know is that we're not to imitate any thing that is not the best. Maybe she's just lucky to be making so much money if she doesnt have a plan, but I can guarantee you that without a plan, the future is not bright."

You see, the fact that you see yourself as just a blogger or just an internet marketer and do not need a business plan is the reason you may not be making money. Many of the people who sell ebooks and talk about how to make millions, dont really make money.

Anything that keeps you busy, from where you are earning some money or hope to earn some money should be treated as a business. It doesnt matter if that thing is blogging, internet marketing, football betting, small buka/fast food, network marketing, building construction,etc.

It doesnt matter if it's just part-time that you are doing that thing or not.

To really get the best out of any endeavor, you need to sit down and do some planning. That's what I'm trying to say. I remember that the Holy Book says before you embark on building a house, sit down and count the cost.

THE PROBLEM

Like I said in the introduction, people trivialize the place of business plans because they always think it has to be a very long boring text book style document.

But far from that.

You can have an informal or a formal business plan. Your business plan can just be a one page document. It doesnt have to be boring.

As we proceed, I'll show you how to draft a quick plan for your business. As you do that, you'll be able to define where you are going and identify steps you need to take. You will be able to measure progress and see clearly where to work hard on and succeed.

But have I been able to convince you that you need a business plan?

See you tomorrow

On this thread we are discussing step by step how to write a business plan. You'll enjoy it.

https://www.nairaland.com/2156852/how-write-business-plan-step

Hey guys, welcome to the class. In this class, I will be your teacher. I will show you why you need to have a business plan, no matter what business you're into and how you can write it. This is what we are going to learn...

1. What is a business plan?

2. Who Needs a Business plan?

3. Benefits of a business plan

4. Types of business plan

5. What a good business plan must contain

6. Business plan template- Sample of a fast food business plan.

Of course there will be other topics and subtopics that come in along the way. We'll cover them here. Just stay tuned

So let's get going.

But before we start, you'll ask, who am I?

To answer that, I'll tell you that I'm a Nigerian, a nairalander, business man, who helps others start, nurture and grow their own businesses.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

This is not going to be text book lecture. We'll discuss like street people, shop owners, hustlers.

Get that?

SCHEDULE

Listen, I have a very busy schedule. But I'll try and post a topic here at least every day-once a day. Is that clear?


SO WHAT IS A BUSINESS PLAN?

When people hear about a business plan, they expect a long formal document with several pages that is boring to read and understand.

Not at all.

As you will soon learn in our class, you can have a one page business plan.

A business plan is simply a description of your business future.

That should be simple enough for you to always remember.

Usually it will contain what you want to achieve and how you intend to achieve it.

Is that all, you ask?

Yes, bro. That's it.

Forget the other jargons for now. Just follow.

Talk to you morrow

manneger2:
He said tight work schedule

Haba bro.

If you have up to two - four free hours, you can setup any of those businesses. Someone can manage it while you take those your hours to make sure things go okay. Try any of them.

stop concluding like that....did you watch it live?i did and very sure that accreditation per person will not last more than 30secs

Have you done a PowerPoint presentation before or prepared for an interview?

Do you make your presentation with a dysfunctional system.

Jega was summoned by the Senate. He prepared himself and has put up a good performance.

But this is quite different in real life situation. This thing had not been tested in real life application in the Nigerian contextual enviromenf.

What you are seeing is just PowerPoint presentation and screen preparation. Wait and see the real world situation.

I'm all out for the new tech. But this should have been tested severely in real world for at least 2 years now.

My instincts tell me this election will be the worse in Nigeria history. I just hope I'm wrong though.

You see, things are easier said on paper than in application. Typical election day situation in Nigeria, believe me, 1 minute will not be enough to verify one person.

Even during the last registration, their laptops were breaking down every where.

What i see is massive protest in several polling units and people complaining they were not allowed to vote.

Give it up bro. The young man wants to air his views without been called names and attacked.

Its not like that in APC.

In APC, you have to follow blindly. That is not true democracy. Let this matter die joor, after all the guy has only one PVC.

In PDP we allow people to say whatever they like and no one questions or attacks them.

Yes. I listened to his talk. If Osubande was actually the one vying for the presidency, I would have voted for him. Yes, he doesnt have statistics, but the guy is sound.

For now, I am still with GEJ.

I cant commit my children's future to an 85 year old man who sees no reason to have a certificate to go on in life

Yes. OBJ is now a progressive. Any thief who wants to be a progressive, should just join APC.

Kai.,

Thank you Seun. From today OBJ is no longer corrupt. He's now a secret Apc member so he's now a progressive.

If you're a thief and you want to become a progressive, just leave your party and join APC.

What happened to the Ota babbon had happened to me before. That day I was so frustrated that I had to hit my phone on the ground. I destroyed the phone.

It was later I realized that I was still the loser.

OBJ is just frustrated.

But GEJ you bad o. You just frustrated and ended OBJs political career and relevance.

Chai

Soludo is my brother but to be honest, I don't even understand what he is saying or what he wants.

Where is he sef?

Uncoordinated meeting. Uncoordinated men. Uncoordinated ideas. What do you expect?

RIP to the dead.
