Keep Going even when the road is rough, the future looks so bright.
The road that leads to Success is very narrow and full of obstacles, that is while many choose not to trek through it but I have a word of encouragement for all Entrepreneurs who might be considering quitting today because of difficulties they encountered. The challenges you face today does one good thing for you, it prepares you up to take up bigger future responsibility.
Will Facebook and Microsoft, Amazon, Apple, Bloomberg, Ford and many other great companies and tech Giants be in existence today if the founders have quited in their entrepreneurship journey or do you think they did not face any challenges when they started. Amazon was started out of Bezo’s Garage, Facebook was started in Mark’s Dorm Room, while Google was started from Larry Page and Sergrey Brin Dorm Room, but today look at where they are. Don’t be discouraged by the fact that you did not have huge capital base, keep working step by step and with time that your powerful idea will grow into a Big Tree that will bear many fruits and will have many birds perch and feed from it.
“Many of Life Failures are People who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave Up.” Thomas Edison
What other people label might try to call failure, I have learned is just God’s way of pointing you in a new direction. The road to success has never been easy, the Billionaires we celebrate today also has a time in their life when they feel like giving up but they never give up. After many years of failures and misfortune Colonel Sanders became successful founder of KFC.
On your road to Success there will be a time when even your close friends will desert you this is the time you are trying all your best to build that your dream company. Don’t you worry keep working be focus by the time you become successful all of them will come back. You might be going home without any salary at the end of the day because you want to pay all your debt and your workers salary yes don’t quit keep pushing it.
Don’t be afraid of challenges, they will only bring out the best in you, a popular quote has it that what cannot kill you will make you strong. Challenges brings out the best in you and helps you acquire enormous experience that will enable you be where you are suppose to be. A lot of people have quitted because of the kind of challenges they faced in their business but I am advising you to pretend as if you are not seeing the present challenges be focus and look towards the future be determine and be courageous.
“A failure is not always a mistake. It may Simply be the best one can do under the circumstances. The Real Mistake is to stop trying.” – B.F Skinner
Have you ever witnessed the strength of a desert lion?, because they live in scarcity they bring out the best in them to hunt for a prey. That is how failure and Success is to us, we are in between the red sea and Pharaoh’s violent t soldiers, if you quit then all your years of labour becomes a waste but if you continue it will only take time but there is a light at the end of the tunnel. S choose the path you will follow but i think no body want to be a failure because we don’t celebrate failure we only celebrate successful people
To be successful adhere to these Tips.

Manage Your Time very well: As an Entrepreneur one of the most scarce resources is time, make sure every second is productive for you.
Write down your measurable goals: Writing down your goals will help you to track and analyse your achievement and progress in your day to day business activities. While developing your business goals make sure that they are measurable. Penning down gigantic goals which might not be attainable might lead you to depression and frustration and finally liquidation. You can divide your goals into short tern, medium term and long term goals.
Work with team of Like minded Entrepreneurs: A tree can never make a forest neither will a spoonful of water make an ocean. All the multi million dollar companies all have a large number formidable team. Don’t be too selfish to resort to one man’s business the growth is very slow and it is always stagnant. If you don’t want to bring people into your business then go for partnership with that you can pull resources together to embark on bigger project.
Remain Focus and Exercise patience. When distraction comes knocking on your door remain focus and don’t derail. It takes a man who is focus to achieve Success in what ever he does. Success does not come over night, you need to be patient and committed till that morning when Success will come knocking on your door. Accept criticism work on it but don’t allow people talk down on you.
Be informed: Information is power, know what is going in the line of your business. With the internet on your palms you have no excuse of not been informed every minute of the day. Websites like technuel, techpointng, techcabal, nairaland are there to update and inform you every second and minute
Go with technology: Today’s business is highly driven by technology and innovation and you cannot afford to be left behind as this will be an indirect way of telling your competitors to take over the market. If you are launching a business make sure and consider having a strong online presence and this will help you cut your own cake in both local and international market.
Don’t forget God: In all that we do we just have one person that approves our Success, He is God, don’t forget to always ask him to lead you, inspire you and in all give you the knowledge to lead your company to greatness.

Question of the day
When Last did you see this gadget in an Office?
Children born in the new millennium might not have seen this Machine in action even though they have seen it. Ask typist in those days and they will tell you how difficult and stressful it is using this device. Correcting a mistake while typing with typewriter is not easy at all.
The Invention of Computer has send this kind of Typewriter packing

Today Typewriter has gradually gone into extinction and we now have Text processors like Microsoft word, word pad and many others and an easy to use computer keyboards. Indeed the Invention of computer has kicked the typewriter into the pages of history. Technology is indeed bringing lots of improvement to our daily business and social life

When you talk about the smart Entrepreneurs who have maximized the advantages and opportunities created by the arrival of information age Linda Ikeji must be mentioned. If you talk about smart Bloggers who have made fortune through dot com boom and lifestyle Linda Ikeji’s name is there. Linda Ikeji makes a digital money and not an analogue money which many Nigeria Billionaires are familiar with. Therefore if in the next ten years you hear that Linda Ikeji is the richest woman in Africa don’t be surprise. But Behind Linda Ikeji’s mouth watering Success stories are heaps of stories of hard times she faced to be where she is currently is. If you are aspiring to be like Linda Ikeji or you have made her your role model here are the 5 Lesson you must learn from Linda Ikeji’s Success Story.
1. With Patience you can Climb up the highest mountain:

When it comes to having patience to nurture ones dream to reality Linda Ikeji has the golden key. In case you don’t know Linda started as far back as 2005 just a year after Facebook was launched and guess what during this era blogging was regarded as nothing. Many people would have dumped blogging since nobody regards it but what did she do she continued. Day in day out she Is constantly updating her blog with fresh news and gist and luckily for her her her blog traffic began to grow but the problem now is that she can’t earn a penny with her blog and this continued for over four years. Wow what a patience, what ever you are out to do and it is worth doing do it whether you are earning or not at the present surely in the future you will be rewarded handsomely. Many people have quited just few metres away from their breakthrough and they have in the process wasted the years they invested in the project.

2. Passion is the key to Entrepreneurship Success:

The secret of Linda Ikeji’s patience was because she has passion for what she is doing. Passion is like a fuel that energises us and gives us the zeal to accomplish a task, whenever it is missing I am sorry you might need just the grace of God to survive. With passion desert was turned to city, with passion business that started with nothing grew into Business empire. Passion simply means having fun and making money to me this is the best way to make money. So you can just cross check and ask your self whether you have passion for the field of endeavour you find your self in, if you find out you have no passion for your career you might just consider changing your career path because you might just be wasting your time trying to make an impact. Linda’s passion for blogging is unquenchable even till today she still derives a lot of joy blogging and you can see where it has landed her into.



3. Don’t be Afraid to start Small:

The big Media empire Linda has today stated with just a Laptop and an internet connection. One of the problem with many prospective entrepreneurs is that they are waiting for a time when they will be giving a 1 Million naira grant to start their business and they keep waiting for that day and people who started with nothing are already on their way to owning a business empire. Start from where you are and don’t procrastinate, if you want to start a blog and you have no Laptop borrow a laptop from your friends and set up your blog then start blogging with your phone. The truth is that many business empire we clap for today started with nothing.
4. She Maximized an Opportunity provided by the dot com Lifestyle:

There is this my friend that loves complaining bitterly about the situation of the country and I sat him down and inspired him to stop thinking about the problem but the solution. Think about the opportunities available within your locality, Linda Ikeji saw the opportunity provided by the dot com boom and she banked on it and today she is heading one of the biggest New Media Firm in Africa and one of the Richest Female bloggers in Africa. The reason while many people are not rich today is because they failed to utilise the opportunities made available to them and the wise investors did and are smiling to the bank.

5. It Pays to be an Entrepreneur:

People who started working for Government or private organisation at the same time Linda Ikeji stated her business cannot measure up with her now but in times of fame, financial freedom and accomplishments. I always tell people that the best hood you can do yourself in the 21st century is to become an Entrepreneur because the possibility of you been retrenched or your salary cut down drastically is 80% so Linda Ikeji showed us that it is rewarding to be an Entrepreneur.
