These are 10 pieces of advice that I wish someone had given to me before I launched my first venture.

In brief, they are as follows

1. Focus. Focus. Focus.
Many first-time entrepreneurs feel the need to jump at every "opportunity" they come across. Opportunities are often wolves in sheep's clothing. Avoid getting side-tracked. Juggling multiple ventures will spread you thin and limit both your effectiveness and productivity. Do one thing perfectly, not 10 things poorly. If you feel the need to jump onto another project, that might mean something about your original concept.

2. Know what you do. Do what you know.
Don't start a business simply because it seems sexy or boasts large hypothetical profit margins and returns. Do what you love. Businesses built around your strengths and talents will have a greater chance of success. It's not only important to create a profitable business, it's also important that you're happy managing and growing it day in and day out. If your heart isn't in it, you will not be successful.

3. Say it in 30 seconds or don't say it at all.
From a chance encounter with an investor to a curious customer, always be ready to pitch your business. State your mission, service and goals in a clear and concise manner. Fit the pitch to the person. Less is always more.

4. Know what you know, what you don't know and who knows what you don't.
No one knows everything, so don't come off as a know-it-all. Surround yourself with advisors and mentors who will nurture you to become a better leader and businessman. Find successful, knowledgeable individuals with whom you share common interests and mutual business goals that see value in working with you for the long-term.

5. Act like a startup.
Forget about fancy offices, fast cars and fat expense accounts. Your wallet is your company's life-blood. Practice and perfect the art of being frugal. Watch every dollar and triple-check every expense. Maintain a low overhead and manage your cash flow effectively.

6. Learn under fire.
No business book or business plan can predict the future or fully prepare you to become a successful entrepreneur. There is no such thing as the perfect plan. There is no perfect road or one less traveled. Never jump right into a new business without any thought or planning, but don't spend months or years waiting to execute. You will become a well-rounded entrepreneur when tested under fire. The most important thing you can do is learn from your mistakes--and never make the same mistake twice.

7. No one will give you money.
There, I said it. No one will invest in you. If you need large sums of capital to launch your venture, go back to the drawing board. Find a starting point instead of an end point. Scale down pricey plans and grandiose expenditures. Simplify the idea until it's manageable as an early stage venture. Find ways to prove your business model on a shoestring budget. Demonstrate your worth before seeking investment. If your concept is successful, your chances of raising capital from investors will dramatically improve.

8. Be healthy.
No, I'm not your mother. However, I promise that you will be much more productive when you take better care of yourself. Entrepreneurship is a lifestyle, not a 9-to-5 profession. Working to the point of exhaustion will burn you out and make you less productive. Don't make excuses. Eat right, exercise and find time for yourself.

9. Don't fall victim to your own B.S.
Don't talk the talk unless you can walk the walk. Impress with action not conversation. Endorse your business enthusiastically, yet tastefully. Avoid exaggerating truths and touting far reaching goals as certainties. In short, put up or shut up.

10. Know when to call it quits.
Contrary to popular belief, a smart captain does not go down with the ship. Don't go on a fool's errand for the sake of ego. Know when it's time to walk away. If your idea doesn't pan out, reflect on what went wrong and the mistakes that were made. Assess what you would have done differently. Determine how you will utilize these hard-learned lessons to better yourself and your future entrepreneurial endeavors. Failure is inevitable, but a true entrepreneur will prevail over adversity.

The Osun State Police Command has arrested eight suspects in connection with the murder of Dr. Adedeji Adejobi, who was a lecturer at the Department of Agricultural Economics, Obafemi Awolowo, Dr. Deji Adejobi.

The Commissioner of Police in Osun State, Mr. Kola Sodipo, said this in Osogbo on Tuesday at a press conference to review activities of the command in the last quarter of 2015.

Sodipo added that the command arrested 52 robbery suspects and 11 murder suspects from September to December of the same year and recovered 18 vehicles; 22 arms and 37 ammunition among others.
He said, ” The command has been able to lay hands on eight suspects in the case of armed robbery and murder of Dr. Adedeji Adejobi, a lecturer at Obafemi Awolowo University and Abdulahhi, the street security guard.

“The suspects confessed that the beretta pistol which was used to kill Dr. by Adegoke Adeolu belongs to Abiodun Damilola Jawefa and Anthony Okoro who is at large.

“ Police report on the killing contradicted the assassination claims in some quarters as the Commissioner stated that the gang had earlier snatched a Toyota Corolla at Ilesa which they used to trail the deceased who was driving home in his Toyota Venza , a sport utility van. He said the laptop computer of the deceased, phones and cash were recovered at Sabo Ibadan from one of the suspects, Faisal Musa, who he said was one of the major receivers of stolen goods.

He added that a plasma television set, laptop computer; two locally made single barrel guns; one live and three expended cartridges and one empty shelll of 9mm pistol ammunition we’re recovered from the suspects.

The CP stated that the suspects had been arraigned while efforts to arrest Okoro, who shot dead the lecturer and the security guard were still on.
