This may sound a bit impossible, but you can actually start a business even with very little or no capital at all. The trick is to first have a viable idea or product, an established profit-making process and your own belief in the idea as well as the zeal to implement it.

Business is really all about developing an idea, deciding on the roadmap to achieving your goals, building a strong team, networking and putting in hard work to make it work. Also, always remember that for a business to grow and flourish, it needs to be scalable.

Now, note that, no matter the industry, a lean business follows the same basic ideas to businesses reduce waste; waste in time, money and resources. So, here are some tips for running a lean startup/business:

1. Instead of renting a fancy office in a ‘choice’ location, work from home or a co-working space.
2.Hire a virtual or remote assistant.
3. Scout for a possible co-founder or another dreamer, instead of hiring ‘experts’.
4. If you can’t afford a team made up of professionals with long working experience, for the moment, hire interns/fresh graduates and work closely with them. The motivated ones can always learn on the job.
5. Use free software when or where necessary. Sometimes you may have to find an alternative means of doing what needs to be done.

Whenever you hear the words Brandy, Cognac or Whisky, a huge guy with a big Cuban cigar comes to mind. This is because they are associated with wealth and class. Often time people find it difficult to even differentiate or distinguish between the drinks, as they have similar tastes.

Below are the differences in this spirit drinks;

Brandy
Brandy is short for "Brandywine" and it is produced by distilling wine and aging it in wooden casks to mature for drinking. Sometimes caramel coloring is added to the drink to imitate the effects of aging, while some brandy drinks are produced with the combination of both aging and coloring. Brandy contains about 30 to 60 % alcohol per volume and it’s usually taken after dinner as digestifs.

Varieties of Brandy

Cognac
Cognac or konyak is a variety of Brandy made from grape, named after a town called cognac in France. To produce cognac, two distillations are done in traditional charentais, copper alembic stills, after the grapes has been pressed and the extracted juice fermented for about three weeks, leaving the wild yeasts to covert the sugar into alcohol with up to 70% per volume. Cognac is aged in limousine oak casts for about two years before they are bottled and sold publicly. The longer cognac stays in the limousine oak casts, the lesser its alcohol volume this is due to a phenomenon called la part des anges (reduction in alcohol level).

We know you’re an active user of Whatsapp – who isn’t? Since you use it a lot, it’s good to be in the know of latest features that’ll be rolled out soon, news and more.

Here are the most important of them below:



New Features

Delete For Everyone

Whatsapp is currently testing an ‘unsend’ feature which will help users to get rid of messages sent either by mistake or deliberately.

With the Delete for Everyone’ feature, those messages you send in the in the heat of anger to your friends or those you intended to sent to your girlfriend, which you mistakenly sent to your mum, can be deleted from their Whatsapp timeline using ‘unsend’ button.

According to WABetaInfo, Whatsapp is experimenting with the new feature on Android and iOS devices. The feature is said to be functioning successful thus far.

‘Recall’ or ‘unsend’ message feature have been in many social apps like WeChat and Viber. However, unlike these apps, Whatsapp is topping it up as un-sent messages will be wiped out from the notification center.

The but to this is the message can only be deleted within 5 minutes, and that’s only if it hasn’t been read by the recipient.

Yay or Nay?

Live Location

Whatsapp has announced that they are now going to be letting users share the location with friends and family in real time.

If you’ve used the sharing feature before, you know we could already share locations before, except it was static. With this one though, you’ll be able to share it in real time, almost like a Google Map of chat.

How will it work?

Open a chat with the person or group you want to share with. Go to Location, from the attach button. The attach options will have “Share Live Location”. When you select it, you can even choose for how long you intend to share location with the other person. Then hit send.

The best part? If more than one person shares their Live Location in the group, all locations will be visible on the same map.

Take note – this is an end to those times you lie to your friends that you’re in a particular location when you’re somewhere else. It won’t end well when they request you share your location.
The Best Part of This post �

In Zimbabwe, it’s now a crime to create a Whatsapp group without registering with the government

You heard that right!

Zimbabwe has now made it illegal to create a Whatsapp group without registration and approval from its ministry of cybersecurity.

The ministry released a statement to that effect with the rules to take effect starting November 1, 2017.

Look at the Document here

Whatsapp group administrators are also required to acquire from the Border Gezi University of Cybersecurity Threat Detection and Mitigation, a minimum of Level 1 certification.

According to the Zimbabwean government, this is in a bid to ‘protect’ the spread of propaganda on social media.

Some people have had to reinvent their career paths, while others have gone on to grow in their chosen careers. Maybe you’re wondering why you’ve never had such luck — wonder no more.

There are many factors that contribute to your career growth—factors that have nothing to do with how well you’re doing in your current job. Thankfully, there are a few actions to take to influence your professional growth even in Nigeria.

Here are four tough calls to make to reveal career growth opportunities you never envisioned.



1. Be in the right place

If you want to capture real career growth opportunities, go where your expertise matters most.

For instance, if you’re working in an industry that is stagnating or going down, it doesn’t matter how good you are at your job—your career growth will be truncated. And alternative career path options will be, too.

So be honest with yourself: Does your current situation lend itself to career growth opportunities? Well, if not, then it’s time to hatch a plan to maneuver into an area with better prospects.



2. Get a mentor

As a ambitious employee, it will prove helpful talking and taking advice from people who have can give you the needed push in your career.

These mentors could be the visionaries your company or executives who have a track record of developing talent and throwing people into stretch assignments.

Show an interest in what these people are doing. Ask about what they’re working on, what they foresee as the areas of growth, and how you can get involved and contribute.



3. Become an asset

Usually, the most efficient mentors are busy people, but they also understand that your success depends on leveraging their strengths. You only need to get them to notice you.

Find out who the successful people in your field are, imitate them, find an opportunity to get to know them, and become an asset to them.

Also volunteering to help out a mentor is a great way to build career growth. Ask if there’s anything you can do to assist, and keep an eye out for ways to graciously and enthusiastically help them be successful.



4. Set daring but reasonable goals

Based on the information and all you’ve learnt, come up with some career goals.

Never be afraid to go after the big opportunities, but in case they aren’t possible, go for something smaller and more reasonable

Even if you are only able to meet your small goals, you’ll be making progress in the right direction.

The truth is, anyone with some founder ambitions and business acumen is likely to attract customers who would be willing to part with their money for the value promised. Though, starting and running tech businesses have become more complex, the very first thing you’ll want to figure out is, if you have a market, potential users/customers.

Bottom line: some money+ambition+idea may NOT equal adequate preparedness anymore in the tech business world. But deliberate moves will get you further, whether you’re a technical person or not. In fact, there are lots of scalable small tech businesses to invest in, but we would wager the top nine.



1. Internet Research
Are you a naturally curious person? Then, this business idea is perfect for you. With the vast amount of information available on the Internet, being able to know where to look and validate information is a profitable skill.



2. Blog Consulting
If you are an expert at blogging and love to explore blogging-related issues, a small business as a blog consultant could be a very lucrative business, allowing you to support all types of businesses and bloggers in getting their blogs up and running. Explore if this is the right business idea for you.



3. Data Training
Despite some of the “home-based business” scams that involve data entry work, there are a lot of legitimate opportunities available for data entry businesses. If you are a really good typist with an eye for detail, this may be perfect for you.



4. Computer Repair and Maintenance
Do you have a technical background? Do you understand how computers work? Yes? Then, a small business in computer repair and maintenance service could be a great idea for you. You can cater your services to one operating system, or support all major platforms.

Are you looking for a free platform to launch a website or blog? Then, you are in luck because we’ve got a list of free blogging platforms where you won’t be paying for your domain name and hosting space.

Note that, though these sites are free to use, you won’t have full control over your sites whereas in self-hosted sites you have to pay money for domain and site hosting (and you’ll have full control on your sites) .

For someone starting out their blogging journey, here are five free blogging platforms for you.



1. Blogger
Blogger website platform is owned by Google and one of the earliest, most preferred and widely used free blogging platforms. It is not only free, but reliable and have themes that are beautiful, plain and simple. Blogger is by default, search engine friendly so you can increase your overall organic traffic just by using it. You can easily create blog posts, add images/videos and monetize your blog with monetization programs like Google Adsense, Amazon, etc.

The only limitation using Blogger is that you will have no control over your domain name and ultimately it’s just a sub-domain of ..com. This means your blog address will look like this: YourBlogName..com. You can later buy a domain name (such as .com / .org) and assign it to your blog, if you like.



2. WordPress
Closely after Blogger.com, WordPress is the most reliable for content management . You can use WordPress for creating personal or professional websites. Most of its features are similar to that on Blogger.com and you have few monetization options.



Though you can use to create free blogs, but if you choose to start your blog on a self-hosted CMS, you can do that too using WordPress.org. You can use WordPress blogging software on your custom domain by downloading it from WordPress.org website and uploading it on your purchased web space.



3. Tumblr
Like Twitter and Facebook, Tumblr is a micro blogging website that is clutter free and mostly content-oriented. Tumblr actually looks like a combination of Facebook, Twitter and blogger. You can use Tumblr to create free blogs, visually-appealing images, and videos. Some of its unique feature include:

Access hundreds of unique themes
Post content directly from your Email box
Track your blog visitors through Google Analytics
Publish updates to your Facebook account
Convert your posts into audio posts
Use your own custom domain
Automatically update latest posts on Twitter


4. Blog.com
Blog.com is available in free and premium versions. If you have some funds, you can use Blog.com premium features, you can have all of its premium features including a domain name.

Otherwise, you can use the free version and get facilities like integration with popular social media websites, tracking your blog stats through Google Analytics and selection of theme from its theme gallery.



5. Medium
Medium is a relatively new but fast-growing free blogging platform where you can create stories and own your personal space on the Internet. You can do this for free with either an e-mail address or a Twitter account. Your content is served by highly secure Medium servers and can reach an entirely different audience other than your typical target audience.

Even with its awesome features, it is almost impossible to redirect from Medium to WordPress. Also, you don’t have full control of the user experience.

Someday, as you travel the corporate journey, you will arrive at this point. Some may get there at the early stages of their career, and for some, it might take a while. But it will happen. We are expected to lead a team.

And there’s one thing pretty much every manager has in common: they were once team members. One of the greatest mysteries is exactly what core values of great managers got them where they are.

Here are 5 attributes truly you should have as a manager.



1. Respect

Your team members are people who all have hopes, aspirations, fears and struggles. And every one deserves to be treated with respect, dignity and care.

The most important quality a leader can have is respect. Respect is simply “having a deep admiration for someone or something.” Interestingly, treating team members with respect will ultimately earn you respect.



2. Gratitude

You make it a habit of catching people doing something right, and let them know. After all an honest compliment is so unusual that it will motivate the recipient. As simple as a nod or smile is, it will show your approval. These gestures may be simple, but you know they can create magic in a matter of moments.

Great managers recognize and appreciate what all team members have to offer. So even though you tend to be competitive and ambitious, you channel those tendencies towards the success of the team rather than for personal gain.



3. Humility

Having a grip on your team doesn’t mean expecting every member to immediately jump at your command. The workers already know “the boss” holds all the cards. You realize that the only power you can use is persuasion. Don’t lead with threats, blackmail and fear.

You have the confidence to recognize when and where you might not have the right answer. If you believe your team may know best, you encourage discussions and ask the right questions. The goal is to support your team and encourage them to take greater responsibility for future action.



4. Definiteness of decision

No matter the position you’re filling for, hold out for the absolute perfect person. Having the right people in the right positions allows for the best work. So take time and set your standards high.

Raising team member to become leaders is crucial for you. You know that the most effective teams are those where members are inspired and challenged to be accountable.



5. Clear vision

If you play for something bigger than yourself, you’d be playing harder but smarter. This also holds true for your team.

As a manager, you are the architect of the team. Your core responsibility is building and managing your team to deliver results. You are accountable for whether your team wins or loses. You are the hero of your team and the buck stops with you.

They fill the body with manganese which is very good for the kidney and liver. Eating Granola bars during tedious activities like jogging, biking, climbing, stimulates the body tissues and ensures proper distribution of resources needed in the body.
