gogeekish: I think your RAM Management is in aggresive mode. Turn OFF MIUI optimization Turning it off will make the UI look ugly. The main app that I really need to keep in memory is my browser, I recently tried Samsung browser and it's just perfect. It doesn't close even while gaming. |

grossintel: My brother, I got admission in Esust to study computer science and dropped out that same year because I couldn't stand the joke they called education. My father nearly disowned me, I told him it's better I study a course I know nothing about than computer science in Nigeria when I have YouTube and Udemy. It's a big shame. It's just a waste of time in Nigeria, all they did in my school was to solve maths and learn ancient programming languages with no practicals. |

Business › Re: 10 Things No One Will Tell You About Being An Entrepreneur by Darkseid(m): 9:56am On Oct 24, 2018 |
Shehunoshewhat: Hmmmn
On my way to work this morning I was wondering how many entrepreneurs can make a net income of 1.5m monthly. I know many people who earn that. And they are not even in top management.
The day I saw the MD/CEO of a very popular IT company desperately eye the job of a Microsoft employee in Nigeria, reality began to set in.
It is well. For every one employee that earns 1.5m monthly, there are 200 entrepreneurs that earn the same. Look around you, how many of the houses in your area were built by salary earners. |

Business › Re: Why Most Small Businesses Fail ??? by Darkseid(m): 8:45am On Oct 23, 2018 |
crownson: STOP and tell me:
Why do most small businesses fail?
Because they do what you are about to do!
You’re starting a business the traditional way... a very risky process:
I have an idea. I invest in my idea. I develop my idea. THEN find a market for my product! WRONG! Why do I know this?
Because I’ve learned the hard way, making this same mistake several times during my entrepreneurial journey!
This advice will save you money and potentially your new business!
Before you do marketing and distribute your products you must identify which is the product that your customers want. You need to meet a real demand, real needs of real customers!
“But Hector… I know there’s a market for my product! I just need to set it on the store (distribution) and it will fly off the shelves!”
“People are not aware that my product exists (marketing), how could they ever buy it if they’re not aware of it?”
Maybe… but this is what I expect to happen:
1.- Distribution: You will need to burn cash to move your products, set agreements with stores and since you are a new player on the market you will need to finance the inventory to sit on the shelves… burn more cash!
2.- Marketing: Did you know that attention is the most valuable asset on earth? Don’t believe me? Why does Facebook have a market cap of over $500 billion? Why is Google worth over $700 billion and it is free? Because they own the attention of millions of people and businesses around the world are willing to pay millions in advertising for our attention. Do you have the cash to burn to catch the attention of your “potential” customers? Like millions of small startups, most likely you don’t.
Here’s my point:
You are trying to PUSH sales. That is very expensive! You will die sooner than later.
To answer your question:
What you need is to PULL sales! You need customers to ask for your product. You need to make them want it. Aren't we all tired of everyone selling us something? People want value and when they find it they are willing to pay for it!
As I often warn people: Hard work is NOT good enough anymore!
You may distribute your product or use the best marketing tactics and you will still fail! You need strategy! STOP and THINK how you can make people WANT your product!
Not easy right?
To answer that very complex question you need to get out of your office, knock on doors and talk to potential customers!
Show them your product, ask for their most honest opinion. Ask the right questions, even if you don’t like them!
Most importantly LISTEN TO THEM!
With their feedback, go back to work to give them what they want.
Repeat this process over and over again until they beg for your product!
Until you find customers who are willing to PRE-PAY for your product, you just have a worthless idea.
Not easy? Don’t like it?
Well, you are always welcome to try it YOUR way, and prove me wrong. All my years of experience (and painful failures) have shown me that this is how you find success on a small startup. This is the only way to increase your chances of survival.
Know this… Success is not guaranteed in this innovation-driven new economy!
For details I recommend reading The Lean Startup by Eric Ries.
What do you think?
Any ideas? Share bellow! Thanks for this. |
