Business › Re: What Business Can 1m Do by Vested(m): 2:14pm On Aug 30, 2018

Delivar:
It's a pity you were scammed. The fact that you were scammed doesn't mean we should stop searching for opportunities. It's just like deciding to stop sleeping because some people die in their sleep. Every business venture is a risk. If we keep harbouring these fears then we will keep missing big opportunities. A lot of wealthy businessmen took the risk and succeeded. The keyword is to be very CAREFUL and have a backup plan. You can even lose your job. So what happens when you lose your job and can't find another? Of course taking the business risk becomes the next option. For you to have a viable successful business you will need people to work with. So we can't escape the risk.

I understand you have to respond in order to defend your stand and person. It's human nature and I understand perfectly.
However, I never said OP shouldn't venture. Read my post properly.
I will advise her, with everything in my being, to keep searching to be her boss someday but not on any other person's terms. It must be IN HER OWN TERMS. Shikena.

We will all take risks and I prefer she takes risks in those things she has passion for so that even when they fail, her motivation can console her and help her learn where she failed and find a way to do things better at the next try.
No one should take a risk based on someone else's report but on your own report.

And yes, we need people. We need a team of people to help us achieve our goals and not the other way round - achieving their own goals while stifling ours.

OP, invest in yourself. Your money or any idea isn't the business. You are the business. Whatever you do, keep learning while you make mistakes in the business of your choice but don't jump ship off your job just by the words of one wonderful business opportunity. If you lose your job, no problem. You continue from there.

I've made my mistakes and I don't feel pity for myself, not anymore. That would defeat the purpose of the mistake in the first place, which is to learn. I have learnt my lessons and taken down notes and have moved on to more mistakes. That's the life of an entrepreneur.

Another cup of beans for the thread.

It's good to be in business and I advise you to keep pushing to be your Boss someday.
However, slow and steady wins the race. There is no overnight business success.
Don't let anyone deceive you otherwise.
I am learning from my failures and mistakes in order to be a better business person.
Make your own mistakes and grow while you make them. It's the life of an entrepreneur.

Business › Re: What Business Can 1m Do by Vested(m): 1:31pm On Aug 30, 2018

OP, are you an employee somewhere at the moment?
If so, do not listen to all these stories of ideas and all.
I repeat, do not listen to all these stories here. Just as Dzes said, I was burnt by usual idea-peddling conmen on Nairaland.
I'll advise you to keep your job (if employed) and find out whatever it is , anything , you have a passion to do. Anything that doesn't feel like work when you do it. It has to be a saleable asset or venture that has a product or service to sell. Once you get an idea of what it is, gradually start committing a bit of your time and money to it. If it will require some training , go ahead and acquire it. While you're doing all these things, do not quit your job yet. Only quit your job when it begins to yield two times what you earn at your place of work , and that should be after you've gone through mistakes and failures while pursuing your business of choice. Do not cry over the mistakes. That's how you learn in the world of business. That's the only way you can succeed in the long run.

This is my advice.
A business venture isn't the secret to wealth. You are.
Don't buy the idea that there is an eldorado business waiting for you to come reap. You are the business and the investment. Invest in yourself first.

Those are my two cups of beans. Shikena...

ebenholer:
Those countries u are referring to used the money borrowed to better the life of their citizens, not other way round as in the case if ur nation

I am not talking about the debtor nation.
Rather, I am talking about a Creditor instead.

Debts are meant to be used to improve productivity in order for the debtor to be in a much better position to clear off their debts as well as be seen as credit-worthy. China, is also a debtor but the largest economy in the world (America) happens to be its largest debtor. That fact should ring a bell.

Recommend oil for that car is 5w30 and one person reccomended 20w10 or something.. Something that was not even in the car manual... I no fit trust Nigeria oil at all ..g35 is a luxury car and you should be able to afford the best for it ..and most importantly the car will need a good coolant and never water ...Nigeria lacks good maintenance culture

There's always an oil grade spectrum in manuals. Also, we don't know the state of his engine at the moment.
Finally, I didn't see 20W10 above when someone gave an advice.
Most of what you've stated are in the owner's manual. The issue should be whether the manuals are being read by owners.

i have been there before but it only landed me in the height of frustration that i am still battling to recover from.....the best thing to do a Nigerian girl is to cheat on her as there is no guarantee she will not cheat on you at an opportunity.. cheating on a girlfriend is an injury/damage/heartbreak control invested into the future of that relationship but cheating on a wife .....is a disaster that opens the door of your marriage to all forms of trouble. steer clear!

Your points are well noted and appreciated.
You did forget one point though.

The one who is always right and knows all, and that applies to both men and women alike.
If you ever meet such a person, it's not enough to just concur each time the person tries to ensure or coerce you to accept their school of opinion. You're just postponing judgement day.
If you can, just stay clear and continue your search. Humans acquire knowledge via experience. In other words, all available knowledge today on earth was made available via someone's experience. That also virtually means that knowledge will keep evolving as humans continue to have new experiences.
When we accept that we can't always be right, we can work together to acquire better knowledge via our experience thereby making us or the union better.

When a partner thinks or believes that he knows it all or is always right, that union will suffer. It's a union and not a parasitic relationship.
