nihilistjnr:The description of yourself doesn't even sound like you will have an easy ride in business. Even if all the stars align. If you have a short attention span like me and can't study for 4hrs, Now think of what t takes to run a business. All the top guys you see in Business Otedola, Dangote Adenuga etc all employ hundred of first class who stay beyond 4hrs attention span planning every detail in the business The discipline an Alaba merchant has not to touch the 1M in his account but to find ways of getting it for cheaper and make more margins, despite all these he can borrow, ship from China, do everything right and just 2 days to his goods ariving and him becomng a billionaire, Buhari bans the importation of rice, One Ibo Okadaman knocks down an Agbero and Agberos descend on his 200M rice container or discover he was sold fake goods |

ManBeast:Spot on! If we had Vardy, we would still be in the title race. As much people say Luiz and Kepa have let the club down at times, Morata’s misses (and playing style) have also contributed to CFC’s present position of fighting for a UCL place. |

nateevs:Personally, I have done both business and career that is where my perspective is coming from. What I am saying is that running a business successfully is hard, very hard, If you don't have a track record of success in a small scale in that line of work, Its very risky and almost insane to bank on business success as the sole source of income A career you probably don't need anything to start aside your qualification, Business if you have all the necessary qualification you will still need a startup capital and a lot of luck to sustain it |

afrodoc2:I understand what you're saying in the bolded. I'm just trying to argue that there is an element of relativity to this. A brain that struggles to remember almighty formula, maybe amazing at calculating the remaining change from a transaction. Your input in school doesn't necessarily determine your output, even generally speaking. You're a doctor. I'm sure you know a couple of people in your set who spent the exact same time as you, reading the exact same books and still can't differentiate a mouth from an änus. That's the point im trying to make. If that formula you mentioned worked as implied, most smart people would finish with a first, and only unserious people would graduate with a third. That's definitely not the case |

raumdeuter:Depends. I contract in IT via a limited company. It's mainly a vehicle for tax efficiency but I do have to make some business decisions...the most important being choosing which contracts to take. Prior to that I sold things on the side and made a small profit. I find this a lot easier than 20+ years of full time education. |

nihilistjnr:Your side hustle buying and selling was probably just a very minor business and do you think you could have lived on it solely for 10yrs and raise a family. You probably havent begun to scratch the surface sef. You havent dealt with regulatory autorities, large scale supply chain management, cash flow management and customer service Its like someone who solves basic primary 6 Algebra and thinks thats evidence that he will get a first class in Electrical Engineering Reminds me of when I first used Engineering Maths in SS2 the Green one from KA Stroud. He usually breaks things down to simplest form and later scale it up. After solving the easy examples I thought to myself, Its easy na. I think I can be an Engineer sef, wetin dem dey do for University Until I got there and saw the Advanced Engineering Maths from Kreyzig and knew that all that one I was doing na playplay |

nihilistjnr:When I say generally speaking, I mean on the average. If you have 2 students of equal intellect the more serious one is more likely to score higher marks. There are many examples from school. Also amongst the mediocre students the serious ones amongst them spent maybe an extra year or 2 before graduating while the ones blazing weed and chasing girls were kicked out of school and never graduated. |

raumdeuter:This brings me back to my point. Wealth preservation and diversification may be the other personal skills that need working on. While growing a 200M business in rice is admirable, having all 200M in rice alone must be the first scary thing for a business man. I run a fully blown Ltd company and I make it a principle to divest to sectors that are not the primary business of the company, upon achieving a certain financial goal (and it applies personally). Now while I am not preaching this as a road to eternal success, it sure means that it will take many Okadas and agberos in different parts of the world at the exact same time to crash everything. It's not the business making, it's the decision making. |
| Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Club World Cup Champions 2025-2029 by afrodoc2: 7:20pm On Jan 02, 2019 |
nihilistjnr:Our points are quite similar. The major factor should be your aptitude. Don’t just enter a business because school is boring or you are struggling a bit, without considering whether you have the qualities to be successful in that particular kind of business. |
| Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Club World Cup Champions 2025-2029 by raumdeuter: 7:23pm On Jan 02, 2019 |
nateevs:I will argue that it depends, Diversification have failed and led to the collapse of many organization just as much as staying in the core business have failed others Its just the vagaries of business and no one is certain which one is sure. If you have a Nigeria where some years back we had no local capacity for rice production, it seems perfectly ok to go balls deep into it even with 200M, Since 170M people have to eat and Rice is the major food Than risking on another new sector you arent sure of The bulk of Otedola, Danjuma money was made from Oil and they have kept faith with it, Jim Ovia, Elumelu made most of theirs in banking/Asset management and have kept faith with it Zuckerbeg made his from Social media, Gates/Jobs made from Software development. They arent big players in finance or Real estate or Shipping |

raumdeuter:Unfortunately, you don't have evidence for everything you have said. I am interested to see research and/or evidence that shows diversification of wealth as the primary reason for total collapse. There may be other factors you are not privy to. You only know what is reported. I bet you are likely to find that when sh!t hits the fan, wealth depreciation is what happens to these sorts of people, not total collapse. They are probably board members and majority shareholders on a ton of many other companies across several sectors. These moves never get reported. Meanwhile there is a plethora of examples where failure to diversify have killed big companies, let alone a small ones. Diversification is not necessarily becoming a major player across several sectors. It's investing just enough to not distract you from your main business but enough to ensure okadas and agebros don't make you going back to ground zeros. |

afrodoc2:Which was my point, If you run from school because you cannot cope, Bigger demons and monkeys are waiting for you in business With Business, I will even say you have to test run it on a small scale before you decide that's what your future will depend on.(Though that still doesn't give a guarantee of success ) |

nateevs:Some examples of companies that diversfication ruined or almost ruined National Semiconductor Corporation One example of failed diversification is National Semiconductor Corporation. The company tried to make electronic consumer products in addition to the semi-conductors that went inside them (in the 1970’s). But they overlooked one major flaw: the company wasn’t suited for retail manufacturing. In the process, it was crushed by companies that were very well suited for that purpose as well as insulated against any kind of financial downturn. By the time digital watches became popular in America (the company specialized in analog devices and subsystems),NSC had been driven from the marketplace, suffering huge losses that largely overshadowed its success in the arena of semiconductors. Northrop Grunman A more recent example for failed diversification is Northrop Grunman–an American global aerospace and defense technology company and the fifth-largest defense contractor in the world as of 2015, according to wiki. Northrophas always been successful with electronics and robotic systems, but in 2001 it diversified into shipbuilding for the Navy. The venture was obviously very expensive, and a titanic one at that. The diversified plan had razor-thin margins, and did not tune with any of Northrop’s other businesses. In 2011, Northrop declared that they got out of the shipping business to avoid “a drag on its bottom line for years to come.” Virgin Cola Virgin’s move to lock horns with Pepsi and Coca Cola is one that is legendary. Though Virgin’s brand encompassed virtually everything—from airlines to financial services, Richard Branson, founder of the Virgin empire, stretched himself too far. Coca Cola and Pepsi, as we all know, is synonymous with elixir of life. Branson joined forces with Cott Corporation, and produced Cola under the Virgin name and marketed it spectacularly in New York’s Times Square. This move raised eyebrows from market observers as they knew it was difficult to take down Pepsi and Coca Cola. Although Virgin Cola was priced significantly lower (15 to 20%) than the two leading brands, there were not enough customers. Partly, issues with distribution were to be blamed. Pepsi and Coca Cola managed to block Virgin from getting shelf space in more than half of UK’s leading supermarkets. Meanwhile, Coke doubled its advertising budget. Virgin Cola failed to make even a single scratch in their worldwide sales. The band struggled to gain 3% of the market and has never made a profit even on its home turf, the UK. http://www.ourbusinessladder.com/failed-experiments-with-diversification-business-ideas/ ================================================================================ What I am saying is captured below. There have, of course, been many diversification strategies that have failed and many that have succeeded. Although it may be tempting to seek growth outside a company’s core business, this decision should not be taken lightly. The knowledge and skill required to manage business activities across multiple unrelated industries is hard to find, even among the most experienced and successful corporate individuals. |

raumdeuter:Perhaps my previous posts needs some reconstruction. The premise was not to show that diversification cannot fail as nothing is fool-proof, especially if done wrongly. The point was to show that you are better off divesting and more often than not, there is success, if done right. You would see that the whole point I was making is encapsulated in these few words. Diversification is not necessarily becoming a major player across several sectors. It's investing just enough to not distract you from your main business but enough to ensure okadas and agebros don't make you going back to ground zero. The whole point was to offer hope and not fear to those who are considering venturing into business and points to consider in the preservation of wealth. |

iamJ:Please stop making up figures in your head. Since 2013/14(all figures in Pands): Chelsea: Willian - 31.95m Matic - 22.5m Schurrle - 19.8m Sallah - 14.85m Zouma - 13.14m Van Ginkel - 8.46m Atsu - 2.7m Perica - 2.21m Cuevas - 1.71m Costa - 34.2m Fab - 29.7m Cuadrado - 27.9m F.Luis - 18m Remy - 11.88m Pasalic - 2.25m Pedro - 24.3m Baba Rahman - 18m Begovic - 9.9m Kenedy - 7.2m Hector - 4.86m Miazga - 4.14m Nathan - 3.6m Papy Djibijibi - 3.15m Batman - 35.1m Kante - 32.22m Alonso - 20.7m Amber - 59.4m Bakayoko - 36m Drinkwater - 34.11m Rudiger - 31.5m Zappacosta - 22.5m Emerson - 18m Giroud - 15.3m Barkley - 15.21m Ampadu - 2.52m Kepa - 72m Pulisic - 57.6m Jorginho - 51.3m Total - 819.86m United: Mata - 40.26m Fellaini - 29.16m Di Maria - 67.5m Shaw - 33.75m Herrera - 32.4m Rojo - 18m Blind - 15.75m Milinkovic-Savic - 1.58m Martial - 54m Schneiderlin - 31.5m Depay - 30.6m Darmian - 16.2m Schweinsteiger - 8.1m Pogba - 89.3m Mkhitaryan - 37.8m Bailly - 34.2m Lindelof - 31.5m Matic - 40.23m Lukaku - 76.23m Fred - 53.1m Dalot - 19.8m Grant - 1.53m Total - 762.49m So u see, United have tried buying few quality on the high side to compensate the team whereas, Chelsea have been buying plenty cheap average players. Chelsea are the real Maga'd FC paying almost 60m for serial bench warmers like Amber and Pulisic. Talk about overpaying to help other clubs take out their trash. And please stop talking about Net Spend here. Only Liverpool and Chelsea fans constantly bring up net spend to make themselves feel good about their club buying dead-weights. U really see players like Shaw, Mata, Matic, Lindelof and call them average? Well i no blame you. When ur club has packed useless players like Amber, Baba Rahman and Willian into its ranks, how wont u see Apple and be calling it Kolanut... ![]() |
