u gotta chek your panel

Starting a business as a young man is very daunting. For some, they don’t have the capital to startup and for others, they are too scared to leave their comfort zone and start something on their own. Either way, there are some fundamental business lessons you should know as you face your daily challenges especially before you turn 30. This will definitely help when you, if you eventually decide to start your business.

Time is your most important resource

The adage that “time is money” is a very popular saying in Nigeria. So, you have to be conscious of time in everything you do especially when it comes to starting a business. The sooner you start something, the better for you.

Communication can fix any problem

Communication can’t be underrated when it comes to business. It can’t resolve any problem and misunderstandings. Communicating the right way can help you come up with mutually agreeable solutions. You can use the 7cs of communication to achieve effective communication.

Aiming for perfection is a waste of time

There is nothing new under the sun. Many others have done the same you are planning to do. You can take a different approach but don’t wait until it is as perfect as your competitors before you launch. With this mindset, you will always find something wrong with your business. Hence, simply do your best and get the right things done and watch as things unfold. Leave perfection to the most-high.

You are going to fail

No matter your status, you are not insulated from failure. It is a phase in life you must go through. Your business may fail and you may encounter cash crunch, the important thing is not to despair. Today, young entrepreneurs don’t complain of cash crunch because there are many sources of funding.

Don’t stop learning

No matter how much you know, you should not stop learning. There is enough opportunity for you to be a better leader and a better entrepreneur if you continue to learn and hone your skills. So, don’t stop learning.

Haters of technology will unashamedly testify to the impact technology has had in the banking sector over the decades. In Nigeria, the discrepancies between the so-called old generation and new generation banks are no longer there. Thanks to technology. This is because many banks have invest millions to accommodate technology. Interestingly, if they don’t do this they will become irrelevant. But, at the end, they will still navigate towards tech. So, how has technology influenced banking? Here are 5 great ways.

Better customer service

Customer service in banks has improved. And with the CBN monitoring the activities of these 20 banks closely, they have to choice than to offer services that will make their customers happy. Many banks have embraced social media to interact with customers and help solve complaints.

Less queues

In the past, you will be told to arm yourself with a mat when going to a Nigerian bank because of the long queues. Not that these queues have completely disappeared, they have significantly reduced to the barest minimum. Now, you can perform banking transactions on the internet or on mobile.

Withdraw and send money anytime

With Automated Teller Machine all over, you can withdraw and send money at any time of the day. This also comes handy when you are stranded or have an emergency.

Cybersecurity and data protection

With banks recognizing the importance of technology to their services, they invested heavily on enforcing and reinforcing their cyber security and data protection .i observed that the rate of cyber theft and data leaks have dropped in Nigerian banks. So, customers can perform online transactions without worries.

More competition and bigger challenges

Technology has no doubt opened up the banking sector to competition which is one of the biggest changes. Almost all the banks in Nigeria have codes for mobile banking. In addition to this, offer incentives for you to bank with them. In fact, some of them call you if your account is dormant. This will never happen in the past.

Social media has come to stay because it is fun and you can connect with people from different parts of the world. However, what we don’t realize is that social media is very addictive. You will be unaware of this except you take a break or quit social media to see the difference. In the interim, here are some of the interesting things that will happen to you when you eventually pull the plug on social media.

You will get more work done

When you don't have to worry about your devices buzzing left and right, you will be very productive. This is because nothing is distracting you. This is why some offices block access to social during work hours. When we stop ourselves from checking social media, again and again, it really becomes another form of unnecessary multitasking.

You will get more sleep

Since our phones are always beside us, you are always tempted to check social media even though you are going to deny yourself sleep which you really need. So, it is definitely true that if you quit or leave temporarily, you will definitely get more sleep.

Face-to-face relationships will be strengthened

Sure, social media can be an excellent way to stay in touch with old friends or family. But because of this easy way to connect, many of us have stopped visiting friends and family.we adds that reducing your social media interactions will strengthen relationships.

You will feel less stressed

A major reason why many people are stressed when they forget their phone at home is because they won’t have access to social media. You will be calmer and focused if you decide to quit social media.

You know your real friends

Your virtual followers and friends on twitter, Instagram as well as Facebook are just numbers. Your relationship with them mostly likely will end on social media. Leaving social media will help you separate your friends from the crowd.

Your domain name is what direct users to your websites. Hence, it is important for companies to take necessary precautions to protect your domain name so that it will not be hijacked or redirected to another website. If this is not noticed early enough, it causes significant damage to your cash flow and traffic. i share five tips on how to protect your business’s domain name.

Lock the transfer of your domain name

You should inform your domain name registrar to lock it in order to prevent it from being transferred, deleted or edited without your permission. This will ensure that the domain name is safe and secured.

Observe expiration dates

Set up a way you will be alerted when the expiration of your domain name is near or close. This will ensure that no one seizes your domain name when it expires especially if it is a domain name that attracts a lot of traffic. You can renew the domain name for more than a year instead of yearly.

Buy similar domain names

Serious organisations are aware of hackers and internet thieves who are always on the prowl searching for vulnerable sites. If you don’t want to fall into their hands you should buy all the names that can possibly be used to clone your website. For example, your domain name is johndoe.com; you can also buy johndoe.ng, and johndoe.com.ng etc.

Use a trustworthy registrar

There are many domain names registrar selling these domain names online. It is better to use reputable, and trustworthy registrar that are stable and doesn’t go offline at the flip of your fingers. A reputable one is GoDaddy.
Permanent email

When you specify your contact email address, don’t use one from a free service that might expire especially if you don't use it regularly. If this happens someone else may take over the email and use it to impersonate you when interacting with your domain name registrar. So, always use the email that is related to your website.

may i inform you that christmas has been dead in nigeria long ago....no feelings....around the season...hunger too much for naija

Variety of Dishes lavishly and tastefully displayed to invite and tempt Lagosians who want to feed their stomach. At Mama puts or Bukkas dotted around the city, you find bankers, civil servants and artisans jostling to buy food at these spots. Madam give me Amala with efo riro, shaki, roundabout and pomo-they shout at the top of their voices.

In other cases, if you don’t like mama put, then the fancy restaurants is the place you frequent. While you regularly patronise these restaurants every day, have you ever considered cooking for yourself?

Of course, you are very busy and you have to leave home at 4am and return at 10pm and this will not give you time to cook. Perhaps, these reasons shared by me will encourage you to cook instead of eating out every day.

You can trust what you eating

For those who eat out often, they are not in the know of the kind of ingredients that have been used in preparing the food. It what they are served that they eat. But if you cook at home, you have the discretion to add the content you without any worries.

You hone your cooking skills

Men have the tendency to eat out more than women even though you find both genders at the mama put. Regardless, if you want to improve or hone your cooking skills, it is not by visiting restaurants. You can find time out of your tight to cook. For the men who cook at home, they can brag to friends about their cooking skills and they can show off their cooking skills to their significant other. It is definitely a wonderful feeling.

You save money

You have to spend nothing less than N500 to eat at your favourite restaurants daily. But if you cook, you won’t spend such an amount. Every penny is worth saving in this current recession.



You make healthier choices

Many of the foods you consume at restaurants are processed foods due to the ingredients they are used. Cooking at home not only help you select your own ingredients but ensure that you make choices that will not negatively affect your health.

It builds better relationships

Imagine one of those days your girlfriend who is always coming around to cook for and you told are not to bother about cooking. You will do it. Even though it may not be perfect, she will love you more. In fact, some women say that they prefer men who know how to cook. So, don’t be afraid to show off your culinary skills to your significant other.

Money will always be a huge challenge for any entrepreneur who owns a new business. It is never enough. So, as a new business owner, there are some money mistakes you should not commit no matter the kind of business you are engaged in. If this happens, you will discover that you are just throwing unavailable resources at your business without having the desired impact. i share some of the money mistakes you should commit to memory if you own a new start up.

Having a combined personal account and business account

Whether you are alone in the business or in a partnership, it is important for you to separate your personal account or money from the business. This will not only help you know the viability of your business, you will be aware of how much the business is making. Even if you collect money from your personal account to invest in the business, don’t forget to return it.

No budget for your business

For any serious new business with long term goals, it must have a pragmatic and realistic budget. A budget that is not above the available capital. The budget simply tells you how to spend money and the things you need to spend on. Ensure you strike out the things that you don’t critically need for now.

Making big purchases

You are in the teething stage of your business, so you don’t need big purchases even if you have bottomless finances. Buying cars, computers and going big on advertising is a no no for any new businesses. It is advisable to be strategic in spending and leave the big purchases for later.

Not saving for emergencies

You don’t know when a business emergency will happen. Hence, you always want to be prepared for it. This means that no matter how much you are making, ensure you save for unforeseen circumstances. This is important for small businesses if they want to survive the growing stages of their business.

Not paying taxes and utility bills

As a new business owner, you are tempted to avoid payment of taxes and utility bills. But know that you may escape it now but you will unarguably pay for it later. So, pay your taxes and utility bills as at when due to prevent it from piling up and avoid paying unnecessary fines that come with late payment.
