quote author=HassanBuTt post=116676761][center]Everyone wants to be productive. Being productive at work can help you to grow your business faster or land a promotion if you work for a business. Being productive gives you an edge over all other employees.

Here are 4 tips on how you can be more productive at work.

1. Set Daily Goals
You should know clearly what you would like to achieve each day. At the beginning of the day, it must be clear in your mind how much work you want to be completed by the end of the working day. A really effective exercise is to write your desired goals down on a piece of paper so you can easily see them throughout the day. This will help ensure you don’t spend too much time doing things that aren’t important. Make a list of tasks you have to do to achieve that goal. Your List of tasks should be clear too.

2. Set Priorities for Tasks
To prioritize tasks, start with a list of tasks. Then, make a prioritized list based on importance and urgency. Prioritize your list before starting work. Keep your focus on one task at a time. Don’t let yourself get sidetracked. Review your lists regularly. Stay realistic about what can be accomplished each day.

3. Become Focused
Distraction is a killer. Look how much time you spend on social media or notifications and wasting your time there. To manage your time properly, you have got to avoid all distractions. Especially put your phone away. Do not do multiple tasks at once. Focus on one thing at a time. That will help you concentrate more on what you are actually doing.

Take Breaks
Working all the time can drain your energy. When you start feeling tired, take a break. Don’t worry about wasting time; instead, make sure you don’t lose focus. Take a quick break every hour or so to keep yourself focused. Avoid distractions such as social media during short breaks.

post=116592658]HI, my name is Mrs Mildred Martins, When I began my career in real estate in 2012, I was newly married with a 6-month-old at home and lots of bills. My bachelor’s degree had led me down a path of hard work for little pay. I needed to make a change, and fast, but I also had a fire inside calling me to build something bigger for myself and my growing family. I didn’t know a thing about selling houses. All I did know was that somehow I was going to be my own boss. This girl was not meant for nine to five or stuffy board rooms. So in 2012, I got my license and hit the ground running. Well, sort of.   

No one ever tells you what it actually takes on a day-to-day basis to make it in this business until you’re in the trenches. I was eager to learn but also broke and desperate. I joined a well-known team in my area and learned as much as I could. For five years, I cold-called, held open houses, and worked 60 hours a week, nights and weekends. This was a great experience but definitely not what I had in mind.  
I had a bigger vision for my life. So in 2016, along with my business partner, I joined a company and partnered with them, CIGARO REALTY LIMITED, Since then, real estate has truly changed my life for the better. The flexibility has allowed me to thrive as a working mom, raising 3 wild boys while growing a top-producing team. I now have the opportunity to lead a group of eight amazing women realtors, which has brought to light the unique challenges that we face as women in real estate.  

Prioritize safety
Our photos and contact information is all public. It’s a necessary part of our business, but it also leaves us vulnerable. I know the women on our team are not the only ones who have been the victims of stalking. After many strange calls and late-night hangups, an out-of-state detective connected the dots and informed us of a man who was stalking women in several states that he found online. All were real estate agents, and all had a similar appearance.  We’ve also gotten calls from men who were pretending to be in the market for a home because (after some wasted time, we found out) they were looking for a friend… and we “looked friendly.”  
A potential sale is never worth your safety. Always meet with buyers at your office before showing them a property. If someone is serious about buying a house, they will meet with you. Usually, when I tell a potential client that we meet in the office for safety reasons, there are no objections. When you do meet new clients for showings, always let someone know your location. Be sure to bring someone along to open houses, whether that’s a spouse, a friend, or better yet, ask a mortgage lender to co-brand some marketing materials and come along with you. It’s a win-win.  

Value family
I’m sure juggling family and business is a struggle for all working moms. As entrepreneurs, we often feel the need to hustle and prove ourselves while at the same time managing our guilt if success comes at the cost of time with our loved ones.  
I personally have had mixed experiences. I know for certain that I lost a lot of business when I was expecting my second and third children. Even after explaining to potential clients that I had a support team to cover for me while I was home with a newborn, buyers and sellers (understandably) want to make sure their real estate agent is available at all times.  Although I empathize with their concern, there is no “maternity leave” when you’re self-employed. No clients, no income. 
Last-minute appointments are the name of the game. More than once, I’ve had to throw my kids in the car, bribe them with candy, and pray that they don’t break anything because my buyer’s perfect house just came on the market. Most people are incredibly understanding. 
At the beginning of my career, I would drop everything and run out the door whenever a client asked me to. I missed a lot of dinners with my husband and putting my kids to bed. Set clear boundaries for yourself or you may find yourself with strained relationships and lots of regrets.    
Schedule your family time as “appointments.” Date night? Kids baseball game? Clients don’t need to know what kind of appointment you have!   

Remember self-care
Real estate is so unpredictable. You may find yourself spending more time in your car than in an office. Some days you have back-to-back appointments for 12 hours straight and some days you may work at home in your pajamas. It’s easy to forget about taking care of the most important person (that’s you!) when you’re always on the run. But don’t let the erratic nature of this business get the best of you. Schedule time for personal development and self-care so you don’t burn out. Get a massage. Go shopping. Take classes that have nothing to do with real estate (bonus—you’ll probably pick up business while you’re networking and having fun anyway). Don’t skip this step. You can’t take care of everyone else if you aren’t taking care of you!   
Overall, I’ve been incredibly lucky to be a woman in this industry. I don’t feel that my gender defines me in this field. Powerful women have paved the way for decades and leveled the playing field for us.  
We truly bring so much to the table. We are compassionate, empathetic, and can juggle a million things like nobody’s business. Ultimately I have found that if you just be genuine, be yourself, surround yourself with people that make you a better person, then we can make the most of an amazing career and show future generations of women Realtors what is possible[/quote]

Very insightful


I'm here to share my business story. I observed that real educative threads have practically vanished here on Nairaland. And trust me I have been here for several years

These days its all about Social media gossip, politics, insecurity, bla bla bla.

So I have decided to share my practical story and hope to make it educative and interactive.



I have been actively involved in Transportation business for a while and quite a number of people know me here on Nairaland.

However I decided to take a dive into the real estate sector.

Sincerely real estate is one of the most profitable businesses in Nigeria and the reason is simple. You provide a basic need.

People must live in a house irrespective of social status, tribe or religion.

Every human being sleeps in a house on a daily basis.

Its plain and simple.

However the industry is very big and as an investor you choose what aspect of real estate business you wish tp dabble into.

After series of researc I decided to venture into the short let rental business.

Basically provide fully furnished apartments for short let.

Let the journey begin.............[/quote]

uote author=PromiseObasi post=114094290]I must tell you.

Number 3 is the most Powerful tool

I promised I will make this post, you all are like my family now so I can't disappoint, I had to squeeze out time for this.

Everything I would be typing here has worked, so I'm not inventing things.

There are two types of people these techniques will work on.

1. Those that have the money to buy but are just sceptical about it.
2. Those that don't have the money but can outsource it.

Let's Dive in �

For someone to have indicated interest in your product or service is enough to tell you that the person wants it and is a "Buyer in heat", a buyer willing to spend.

Letting that person slip away ordinarily should be a mistake you are not supposed to make as a Vendor or sales person.

For this cause I'm going to use practical examples from some of my past tweets

Let's say the Buyer's name is Promise and you as the vendor sells Perfumes.

From the first example, Promise says

"I will think about it"

You can say this.

"Promise what is left to think, this perfume will make anyone who meets you to never forget how good you smell, so what's stopping you from getting it?"

I just did something right now.

I made Promise look into the future and see himself in a gathering, a party or anywhere, where he is walking past a group and every head is turning.

You need to know how to create a picture in a buyers head.

Make them see a future of how better off they will be with your product or service. People who sell clothes do this a lot..

"This clothe will bring out your hips" all of that �

You can also say this

"Promise, a lot of people who said they would get back to me never did, what is stopping you from buying this sweet smelling Italian masculine perfume?"

Who knows what I did in this case?

Here I sold Class, I made the person see himself as a high class person about to buy an Italian perfume. I also sold benefits.

How?

Promise will smell masculine now.

The aim is to know who your client is.
If Promise is someone who loves Class, Promise will buy the Perf. �

The last bullet you can shoot�

Scarcity!

People won't buy till you give them a reason to buy now.

You can say.

"Promise, this perfume is remaining just two, those who bought it kept coming back for it. It may not be available when you return"

If Promise has the buying Power (Money) he must buy.

If he doesn't, he will look for it..

You sold two things here, Scarcity and Value.

You told him how valuable the perf is by telling him people kept coming back for it.
You sold scarcity by saying it's remaining just two.

You have been empowered my Fellow Entrepreneurs. Use this Wisely and do not take advantage of anyone.

uote author=skooqs post=114055671]From entrepreneurship to medicine, the future of work is evolving. A lot of jobs require basic tech skills and within the next decade, many regular jobs would become automated thereby requiring technological and digital skills for future employees to remain relevant in the workforce.

Smart homes are a thing too; from cleaning to entertainment and home security. With the advancing technology, there's a lot to keep up pace with.

That is why your kids should start acquiring technology skills from Skooqs relevant to their prospects. So many opportunities avail for good analytical, computational, and critical thinking skills.

The earlier your kids begin to develop these tech skills, the more proficient they will become before they become adults. There's also every chance that they can become promising techpreneurs and solution providers.

1. Coding
Coding at Skooqs helps develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills in kids as well as encourages them to experiment with different possible solutions to a problem. Coding is a tech skill that explores creativity as well as computational thinking in kids. Game Development is a fun way to teach and develop these basic tech skills in kids.

2. Artificial Intelligence
With the evolution of technology, comes the digitization of many tasks. Companies and many end users are seeking efficient, error-free quicker solutions. Medical science is becoming increasingly dependent on data analysis to help customize healthcare solutions for patients according to their lifestyle and genetic makeup. By learning artificial intelligence for kids on Skooqs, you get to quickly start exploring all of these skills.

3. Machine Learning
Every day we share and receive data through different channels. Relevant tech skills are required to evaluate and implement these data. Kids as young as five can sharpen their tech skills by learning how to teach their computers to analyze, interpret and implement data. Got a kid who finds it difficult to gain math skills? Machine Learning courses are a fun way to boost their confidence in math.

4. Design
Kids learn fast and their imagination is limitless. Let them explore their creativity through Photoshop for Kids, UI/UX Design for Teens, and Fashion Illustration for kids which is on Skooqs as well.

5. Web development
Catchy sites like that of Skooqs we see on our screens every day aren't rocket science. This is what happens when creativity meets good tech skills. And with materials and videos on Skooqs, it is now very easy for kids to learn website creation

Encouraging tech skills for kids encourage blended learning. Tech skills aren't fading away anytime soon. Classroom activities are becoming digitized and it would be difficult for any kid who lacks basic digital skills to achieve their academic goals. Hopefully, gaining tech skills from childhood would help close the gender gap.[/quote]

Well researched

counties like the United States and a few others, their economy may have just completed the fastest recovery from a recession in history — a significant achievement following a crisis as devastating as the coronavirus epidemic — but forecasters, investors, and consumers alike are concerned that another slump is on the way.

[url="https://coindecimal.com/7-ways-to-be-financially-prepared-for-a-recession-in-2022/"]Recessions[/url] affect more than just economic models, and consumers frequently face financial difficulties as a result of job losses or wage reduction. One of life’s most distressing realities is that downturns are unavoidable, owing to the economy’s cyclical nature.

All of this is to imply that, downturn or no downturn, preparing your finances for tough economic times is an important aspect of your financial strength.

Five Things You Should Do Before a Recession
Here are five things important for consumers to do before a recession:

Create a Financial Plan — Knowing your income and expenses, as well as having a clear plan for your money, can help you feel less stressed about money. Budgeting can assist you in modifying your spending habits and prioritizing your objectives. Make a plan to assist you avoid taking on too much debt or paying off what you already owe. However, you don’t have to limit yourself to paying off debt or increasing your savings; you can also invest for the future.
Advance Your Career — Recessions are traditionally associated with increased unemployment, so preparing your career for the next downturn is critical. Now is an excellent time to reach out to your network and keep in touch with those in your field. Higher education is associated with reduced unemployment rates, so if you’ve considered returning to school, now might be the time. Adding new talents or enhancing existing ones could give you an advantage in a future, more competitive employment market.
Have an Emergency Fund for Backup — Whether or not there is a recession, you should have an emergency fund. These funds allow you to avoid taking out loans to meet unexpected expenses such as repairs, medical treatments, or job loss. Emergencies are exactly that: unanticipated. And a good number of people aren’t ready for them. If you’re just starting out, I recommend keeping six months’ worth of costs on hand, including rent, electricity, and groceries. That amount may appear large initially, but small donations over time can add to significant savings. You’ll want to keep your emergency funds in a liquid account (such as a high-yield savings account), so you can get to them quickly if you need them.
Other things to do before the recession include:

Always stay up-to-date with the news.
Ensure you make decisive moves and decisions before the downturn hits.
Seven Ways to be Financially Prepared for a Recession in 2022
Here are seven steps to ensure your funds are recession-proof and that you are financially prepared for a recession:

Evaluate your Financial Priorities
One of the most difficult aspects of a recession — let alone a global epidemic — is not knowing what will happen next or when things will improve. That’s why it’s critical to [url="https://coindecimal.com/save-money-fast-on-a-low-income/"]understand your financial situation[/url] as this will help you be financially prepared for a recession. As you assess your financial status, ask yourself these crucial questions.

What is the total amount of money I have on hand?

How much cash can I get my hands on immediately in the event that I require it?

What kind of debt do I have now (credit cards, student loans, etc.)?

What are my monthly essential living expenditures, such as food, shelter, health insurance, transportation, and childcare?

Do you have any major life events coming up, like weddings, the birth of a child, or retirement, that may require a large financial outlay?

Now is the moment to figure out how much you’re spending right now and what you’ll need in the following six months. If you’re well-prepared for a recession, job loss, or other financial setbacks, your emergency fund will have three to six months’ worth of living expenses.

Set a financial goal if you don’t have at least three to six months’ worth of basic expenses in cash. Begin by gaining a basic awareness of your spending habits and creating a budget.

It’s fine if your budget needs to change in order to prepare for a recession. Reduce non-essential spendings such as entertainment, cable, and apparel. While it’s impractical to expect to eliminate all discretionary expenditure, it’s critical to distinguish between wants and requirements. Examine your finances for areas where you may have overspent. Try to figure out what went wrong. You may not have any extra cash to put toward your retirement or a down payment right now, which is fine in the short term.

You’ll be off to a fantastic start once you examine your expenditures and look for areas with problems.

Make debt repayment a top priority
You may be concerned about repaying outstanding debts, such as credit card payments, utilities, or student loans, in the future months. If you lose your job, you may be forced to postpone paying one or more of these expenses, so it’s critical to know which ones you must pay.

After all, if you lose your job, you may be unable to pay all of your bills on time or in full each month. And your credit ratings will suffer as a result of this. While we typically advise doing everything possible to maintain your credit scores, this may not always be practical. As a result, you should prioritize how you pay your payments so that you can cover as many debts as possible with your available funds.

Make sure your rent or mortgage is paid in whole and on time. You don’t want to be evicted or risk foreclosure.
Make your automobile payment, particularly if you rely on it to get to work.
If your income is being reduced, contact your student debt lender and request a hardship application, which may allow you to avoid making payments for a few months all the while helping you be financially prepared for a recession.
Use your credit card to make at least the minimum payment. Call your credit card provider to arrange a payment plan if that isn’t an option. (Just be aware that the creditor will most likely put a hold on your accounts, preventing you from making any more purchases with the card.)
If you can, continue to pay your medical bills, but only after you’ve paid off your other debts. If your company provides your health insurance, you will continue to have coverage even if your medical expenses rise. If you acquire your own health insurance for whatever reason, whether you’re self-employed or not, be sure you pay your premium on time to avoid having your coverage canceled as this will also help you be financially prepared for a recession.
If you’re behind on your payments, don’t wait to contact your creditors and request hardship concessions. Making interest-only payments on your debt or putting payments into forbearance are examples of this.

You can also apply for a personal loan via your local bank or credit union. There are also online lenders, and your employer may have a short-term loan program available in times of need.

You can also approach your credit card company or any other lender to lower your interest rates if you make on-time payments. A large number of major utility companies provide programs that may allow you to pay your bills later or provide other forms of assistance if you are experiencing financial difficulties.

Employ and use government and community assistance programs
Fortunately, to be financially prepared for a recession, many local, state, and federal governments will step in to help those in need during a recession. During the Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic, for example, the US government is contemplating a variety of aid options. It has already declared that taxpayers will be given an automatic extension to pay their tax bills and file their taxes without penalty or interest.

The deadline for filing taxes has been pushed out from April 15th to July 15th. A temporary moratorium on foreclosures and evictions for homeowners with federally backed mortgages has also been established under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. If you have a federally backed mortgage, you may be eligible for mortgage forbearance if you have faced financial hardship as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak.

More information about coronavirus mortgage relief possibilities can be found in the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s guide on coronavirus mortgage relief choices.

On a lesser scale, community organizations such as food banks and places of worship will frequently offer assistance to those in need. Check with your local government and community activist groups to see if there are any resources in your region that can help you with your specific needs.

Make the most of your emergency fund by putting as much money as possible into it
Even if job cuts or layoffs are on the horizon, maintain putting money into your emergency fund as much as necessary. When the money stops coming, you’ll need every penny. Give up all extras, including delivery and takeout. Try to live as simply as possible so that your money may stretch as far as you need it to.

While using your emergency fund should never be taken lightly as this is vital to being financially prepared for a recession, losing your job or being forced to live on a lower wage certainly qualifies as a solid cause to use some of the money you’ve saved. However, as soon as your financial condition improves, you should begin rebuilding your emergency fund. If not, you may be forced to make difficult decisions, like as withdrawing funds from your retirement account or asking for a home equity line of credit, when the next emergency strikes.

Increase your Income Sources
Don’t forget to invest in yourself as the unemployment rate rises by continuing to develop your skills and training. Take more classes to improve your resume. This provides you an advantage over your competitors and helps you be financially prepared for a recession.

Getting a better-paying work can help you save more money and prepare for retirement, so keep looking for new chances.

Other ways to be financially prepared for a recession in 2022 include:

Concentrate on the long term and diversify your portfolio
Don’t make rash decisions when it comes to your investments
What Thrives During A Recession?
Recessions are challenging times. Many people are struggling financially, and many more are concerned that they may be next. A recession, on the other hand, may present a chance for a select set of professionals to thrive and grow. Here are a few examples:

Economists and financial advisors
People with a lot of money want to ensure they’re taken care of, especially during a downturn. As people become concerned about the security of their investments and seek advice on how to protect their holdings, financial advisors typically see an increase in activity.

Food Stores
Dining out becomes a luxury for many people during a recession. People prefer to prepare more meals at home and even entertain their friends at home, thus supermarkets often witness a spike in sales.

Discount and Bargain Stores
During a recession, people cut back on pleasures, but it doesn’t imply they never buy anything that isn’t absolutely required. Even a witty economic theory called the Lipstick Index claims that because cosmetics are a relatively inexpensive indulgence, sales will always grow during tough times. However, bargain and discount retailers sell a wide range of additional inexpensive products. When a recession strikes, people who would never purchase at a dollar store otherwise reconsider their purchasing habits.

Others include:

Property Management Companies and Rental Agents
Auto Repair and Maintenance
Although the events of the next few years may be unknown, the greatest thing you can do now to prepare is to take proactive steps which will help you be financially prepared for a recession. [url="https://coindecimal.com/"]Coindecimal[/url] can provide you with trustworthy information on important financial matters to help you remain on top of your finances during these trying times. Financial knowledge is more vital than ever before, so you may feel good about your financial situation regardless of the challenges ahead.[/quote]

Well said bro
post=110794803]As a Nigerian living in Nigeria landing a job is one of hardest jobs
But then starting a business is no easier, you need the capital and it sure doesn't fall from the skies.
In the end we will most likely decide to work for a while to raise the capital for a business. But very few ever start that business, a lot of us will get comfortable with the job over the years, the security, the guaranteed pay etc.

You can build a staggering career from a job no doubt but if you've always felt that entrepreneurial hunger, nothing beats the feeling of having created something.
Your business is your progeny, you birthed it, it's your idea and a glaring testament to your abilities.

So how do you stay focused while on a job if business is your dream?

Start small! 'do not despise little beginnings' you don't have to wait for when you are ready, that time may never come. There'll always be excuses don't wait for when you can start importing in containers. You can start a business today, thankfully there are websites like gotahia.com that will ease your journey.

You can sit at home decide on the products you want to deal on, search and get contacts of suppliers to work with and get your business up and running with Gotahia.com. If your capital is low you have the option to work with these importers, distributors and even manufacturers to sell their goods. This is an ideal platform for someone who wants to start or go into a new product line as the customer support is superb. Gotahia practically works with you to ensure you make sales when you buy from suppliers there.

This will help you transition into your dream business gradually and with minimal risk.[/quote]

I really need some advice.

I'm currently working in a place where the pay is fair and I am getting some real cool cash. I'm single, have free accommodation by the company and some allowances for some basic expenses. So I can even live without touching my pay.

My problem now is I don't know where and how to invest my funds. Saving money in the bank have not really worked for me because I will always find a reason to squander and "flex'' every kobo.

I work 9-5pm, so I can't open a full time business for now.

Here are some things I have been thninking

1. Should I start a poultry and find someone to manage it?
2. Should I buy tricycles/keke and give it out for hire purchase?
3. Should i Just buy shares or bitcoin and keep for a year or two?
4. I even thought about looking for an HONEST person to invest in their business in order to get returns


Infact, the more i think the more confuse i become.

I don't want to look back to this period in my life and regret wasting all these funds and achieving nothing.

Please Help a soul........I need legit investment suggestion that a busy office guy can go into.

And decide to just go ahead with business. Look, Europeans Americans Chinese Indians who ordered for feasibility Study, Market Research Planing, facts & figures knows what they're doing!
I know of a Nigerian owned businesses that closed in January, due to lack of due diligence, trusting on individuals, allowing unqualified persons, whose interest is to get something out of him.
We have tons of people who contacted us that they're coming to Kigali Rwanda for business, blah blah blah.. ask us questions, figures etc. They told what we can, then ask them to commission us to do a feasibility Study, Market Research Planing Etc hahahaha hahahaha that's the last we heard from them! They don't reply messages, we generally assume they got a better deal. Hahahaha!!! Better deal from individuals!
Some go ahead to ask us to do a feasibility Study, yet they didn't pay, up till now. The documents is still with us, we assume that they pick some info from our conversation and squirrel off to do business!
As usual, we move on... Fast forward to 2022. They're already in Rwanda and rushed into business. Well, we know how it's going to end!
And as a matter of Principle, we don't talk about what is none of our business, we just observe!

You have decided to do business in RWANDA, did you do due diligence? Yes or no? Or you just gulp all your friends tell you? I'd rather say you are not serious, too emotional or seeking a get rich quick scheme. Put on your Boots, drop shame, leave that over priced accommodation, live on low budget accommodation like a hermit, yes they laugh you, but in three months your business will survive, and you will learn important skills specific to Kigali Rwanda!

I'm appalled when I see so called investors coming from all over western African continent, relying on the words of individuals, what happened to Feasibility Study? Do you have one!? What happened to Market Research Planing? Do you have one?
Let me tell you, you are a victim of your own poor business short sights if you fail. For goodness sake, it's your investment, treat it like an egg! Quarrel if needed, cut off people if needed, but just be sure to follow your business instinct.

That $30 you refused to spend on feasibility study, Market Research Planing might make you loose your whole Investment! By then it's all too late!
What about you that doesn't know which business Rwandan Immigration grants PR for? Also relying on what friends says... An entrepreneur who really worked hard to gather Investment capital would tell you, ohhh that's good can you give me a document so I can check out the Dynamics & statistics?
No Planing. No Due diligence.
Anyway, there are consequences to lack of foresight!

The purpose of such documents is to present CURRENT REALITIES to you in Black & White, so you can make informed decision, but noo, you don't want to patronize us! $30 is too much for you!

Our business Advisory.
1. Don't do business where the locals are your direct competitors. You must have a target market. Show me your target customer, I will show you a business that would work.
Make sure you have a plan B business which should actually be a Niche. Rwandans lack Niche or skills, so you should have one.

2. Rather than frivolous business like owning a bike, barbershop, phone repair, Etc, kindly engage in business that actually creates or have a Value chain. Value is what people pay for. Most of our Post here always talk about Value.
If your business Value has close & easily available competition, how do you hope to survive, not to talk of returning a profit?
Certain business can not guarantee you a work permit. Several times, we have been called upon to help individuals who made wrong choice by relying on individuals opinions rather than good business decisions and tools. We help some, we didn't help some!
Any company we register for you will guarantee you a PR. Owning bikes won't.

3. Keep your expenses Low. Rwandans know how to push you into spending your money, and ditching you once it's all gone! Make sure they know you as a shark who price alot. Who is ready to fight. Don't let them shame you into spending money beyond your limit. Your business first, before anything else!

4. Go for low cost accommodation, don't be ashamed. You will thank me later.
Accomodations in Kigali is poor, yet overpriced. But there are places you can get accommodation for$25-30 for two rooms per month. Be like the Indians & Chinese, you're here to dig money not to bury money. But, babes, sex worker's won't allow you make decisions!

5. Beware of the plastic smile! Once you're in Kigali, one thing you notice is everyone has a smile and seem good. Watch your pocket that's their target!
It happened to everyone, Whites & Blacks alike. Happened Once, their fault, happen twice your fault! Once can not kill your business, but twice might be costly for you!

6. Avoid locals or friends showing you, or leading you to buy or get stuffs. Rwandans are very cunning. Do your due diligence and don't fail to caution anyone before you start doing deals with them. Infact, do business with companies rather. Pay for their service, but ask them to get you the exact amount of what ever you deligate them to get for you.

7. Make sure you know what brought you to Kigali...
Pleasure? Ok. Be a tourist like the whites, but ensure you come with enough dollars or pounds.
Business? Ok. Be like the Indians or Chinese. They dig, they don't bury money! Advice: You can not be both at the same time!
Don't say you are into business, yet live like a tourist!

Finally, what ever information you require, pay Bigkoko® a token and we will get it for you.
This token will save you headache and lost Investment tomorrow!
Thank you!

I am one. How can I be of help.
