Career / Meet The Boss Lady That Moved From Hawking, To Owning Her Own Company – Zazi Nic by Dilianne(f): 7:21pm On Jul 21, 2019
Zazi Nicky Christopher is the definition of originality and entertainment; she is a graduate of Psychology and hails from Imo state.

If you think the odds are currently against you, sit back and read this inspiring story of how she moved from the street to owning her own entertainment company and impacting the lives of young people across the country.

DA: What inspired Zazi Entertainment?

Zazi Nicky: I can remember vividly, in 2012, things were not going very well, and it landed me on the streets of Port Harcourt selling Fuman Juice, trying my possible best to make ends meet. One day, while hawking, I met a customer in the traffic and he gave me his card to meet him in his office, I did, and after an interview session, he employed me as his office assistant. I was overjoyed because this was a quantum leap in my life, I moved from the streets to become an office assistant in an oil company.

At this time, I was still in school and my salary was 18,000 Naira. It was not long before I began to notice strange behaviors from my boss, he wanted to sleep with me, I was appalled. I got another job and faced the same issue. It was at this point I decided to take control of my life.

In 2015, I decided to start up something, I knew how to dance, do yoga, and I knew a few exercise patterns, so I decided to start training people. I had people come and register for 5,000 naira, and then I would train them. As time went by, it kept improving and bringing in revenue, so I decided to make Zazi Entertainment a full house entertainment where people can come and register as a brand under us and do what they knew how to do best.

Currently Zazi Entertainment has fashion designers, graphic designers, stylist, interior Decorators, Event managers, Brand managers, etc.


DA: Looking at all the challenges you have faced, what was the major driving force that kept pushing you to achieve this?

Zazi Nicky: I went through hell, but it made me stronger. They are the reasons I am who I am today. I would say that the major driving force was the zeal to prove wrong those men who told me that I couldn’t make it without them, like they wanted to play God!

I grew up in a home where discipline was instilled in us by our mother, so sleeping with men to get ahead was never an option, I had already done some odd jobs like cleaning houses, hawking, being a sales girl, and I was not going to throw it all n the wind, so I kept striving hard to prove to them and to myself that I could achieve whatever I wanted through hard-work

Career / Re: 5 Principles For Disruptive Growth By Ubi Franklin by Dilianne(f): 2:56am On Jun 09, 2019
Thank you.

Career / 5 Principles For Disruptive Growth By Ubi Franklin by Dilianne(f): 12:05am On Jun 03, 2019
Mr. Ubi Franklin is the CEO of Made Men Music Group (TrippleMG), a serial entrepreneur cutting across various industries from real estate to transportation and a host of others.

To become the best, you have to learn from the best, you might not adopt their every principle, but you must not neglect the areas where you still need to learn.

After many years in business, Ubi teaches us that to have disruptive growth, you need to adhere to the following principles;

1. Don't go to people when you don't have anything to give: this is very powerful because most people with business ideas are eager to meet potential investors even without concrete plans.

Make it a habit to meet people with a "value exchange" mindset. Everyone cares about what's in it for them, don't go about selling your product or service, rather sell the value you bring. Like Apostle Joshua Selman says "Never meet a man higher than you empty handed, look for something to honor him, because honor is the key to access".

2. Every Season Comes with different things: Much more than anything, you need to understand the seasons in your life. If you are in your planting season and you try to prove to everyone that you are harvesting, it'll not be long before you crash land.

Master the seasons in your life and work accordingly. The best quote I've heard that best explains this is " Don't compare your chapter 5 to someone else's chapter 25". Life is in phases and if you make good use of this season, better things will definitely be ahead.

3. Expand your current Structures: the capacity of the container would determine how much content it can carry. Nobody would give you more than that which you can handle.

If there is anything you should be doing daily, it is to work on expanding your capacity and one of the ways you can expand your capacity is by reading books.

If you can successfully handle a project of 1 million Naira, then someone can commit 10 million Naira into your hands. Stop complaining, be better.

4. Be willing to make others rich: in a very selfish world, to be rich, you have to be willing to make others rich. Like Zig Zigglar says " You can have everything you want, as long as you help other people get what they want".

Most entrepreneurs looking for investors, requests them to fill a non disclosure agreement, but most investors see this as lack of trust. Entrepreneurs should get to the point where they are more concerned about adding value to humanity and not putting self over business.

5. Learn how to negotiate like a pro: Just like Mr. Washington, a great early mentor of Les Brown, one of the world's best speakers, taught him, "Develop your communication skills, because once you open your mouth, you tell the world who are".

There are a lot of skills to learn as an entrepreneur, and one of the inevitable skills is the art of negotiation. Every successful businessman has mastered the art of negotiation, and once you can negotiate like a pro, you can have almost anything you want.

Career / From Multiple Business Failures To President, Africa's Young Entrepreneurs by Dilianne(f): 2:20pm On Mar 23, 2019
Summy Smart Francis is the Founder and President of Africa’s Young Entrepreneurs, (A.Y.E) which is the World’s largest entrepreneurship network with over 12.9 million members in various African Countries. He was introduced to entrepreneurship at the age of 14, and from there he has continued to shape his skills and has become a serial entrepreneur, and a role model to many.

He shares his journey in an exclusive interview with Everyday Greatness host - Dilianne.

DA: You were introduced to entrepreneurship at a very young age, how has that shaped your perspective and what major principles did you learn?

Summy Smart: Introduction to entrepreneurship at a very young age was not something I found funny; I saw it like a punishment. In my house it was a family routine, become a teenager and work for my dad, I believed I should be able to play games after school and not just finish from school and go to an hotel to work.

But I must also say that it shaped me a lot, both in my leadership and managerial skills. It has also helped me to make very active and sound decision in businesses, and most importantly it created my entrepreneurship hunger and appetite. Seeing my dad make profit, well, I didn’t know he was making loss at that time because I was counting money every day, and all I saw was money; I then decided that I wanted to live that kind of life, where I would make profit daily.


DA: What inspired ‘African Young Entrepreneurs’?

Summy Smart: Like I always say, AYE was born out of business frustration, so it was because of the challenges in business I personally encountered that made me think to myself that there has to be a platform that can help other entrepreneurs, there is one common thing among entrepreneurs, When you cannot pay salaries or seem to get the business right, you feel so lonely, and you feel the world is crumbling down, but you are not alone, there are many other people going through similar situations, so I said that there should be a network that brings people together.

Then I remember going through one of my biggest business challenges, and I told God that if he sees me through this challenge, I would create a platform to help other entrepreneurs, so they do not have to go through the same thing, fortunately for me, God came through for me and I fulfilled my own part of the bargain, so AYE to me is a calling.


DA: When you got the vision, what was the first step you took?

Summy Smart: When God calls you, He either changes your name or He gives you a new name. I believe there is power in a name, which was why God changed Abrahams’ name from Abram to Abraham. If you want to talk to me about business, honestly, I start with your name, what is your business called?

When God gave me the idea, He also gave me the name ‘Africa’s young Entrepreneurs’. I remember this being one of the very clear conversations I had with the Supreme Being. Sometimes we say we hear things or we listen to our own conscience, but we really don’t. I remember vividly, having this conversation with God because I was arguing with Him that why not ‘African young entrepreneurs’ and He said the name was ‘Africa’s Young Entrepreneurs’.

Now I realise that African Young entrepreneurs would have been limited to entrepreneurs in Africa, but if it is Africa’s, then it encompasses entrepreneurs both inside and outside Africa.

It was very clear, I wrote down the name precisely at 2:15 am on the 1st of March 2010, and while I was writing down the idea, I wrote down the slogan ‘If we can achieve this much alone, how much more can we achieve together?’ I equally saw the logo clearly, and I understood the colours of the logo - Yellowish Gold signifies our wealth and Black signifies the colour of our skin.

So I put everything down on a piece of paper. Till today I believe AYE has given me the discipline of sleeping with a pen and paper by my bed-side.


DA: How much did you raise to start-up and how much did you raise?

Summy Smart: I wouldn’t say I started by raising funds, but I tried to raise money and that was when I wrote one of the quotes that is in my collection which says ‘funders and sponsors do exist, but they are not at the origin of your business’.

I really tried, so much, and everybody would be like ‘what do you do?’ And I would tell them, they would be like ooh it sound great, but what have you guys done? And I would not be able to tell what I have done so I realised that I was doing things the wrong way.

The voice came back to me, most times when you are sent on an errand, the Holy Spirit is always there to guide you and tell you when you are doing the wrong thing at the wrong time, so instead I focused on building the network, building the database, building the brand power, brand image and of course funders and sponsors started coming, because then there was something to leverage on, they wanted the members, our network, our buying power, loyalty, patronage, etc.


DA: What major challenges did you face and how were you able to overcome them?

Summy Smart: Major challenge for AYE has been finding the right team, you sit down with a bunch of people that know why we should liberate Africa out of poverty, explain to them how entrepreneurship is the way out for this continent, we have the population, and we are strong.

An African man can stand under the sun selling gala from morning till night; if you put a white man to do that, he would break down before noon. Most people would want to be part of the team for the wrong reasons, majorly because what is in it for them, sometimes you set up a board meeting and you would find out that you are the only of packing the chairs, and you would be wondering – where is everybody?

Another challenging thing is after pouring the vision into someone, having the person work with you for some years, and then because the person needs more money, they would leave for a better paying job. But of course we have been able to combat this, the organisation doesn’t work with staffs, we work with volunteers, and we don’t pay salaries, we pay allowances, we look for people who can see the vision, who have a passion for Africa and people who are willing to work hard to liberate this Continent.

DA: What in your opinion is the major challenge facing entrepreneur in Africa that prevents them from rising to great heights?
