My generation my generation...if dey have 50k..dey will. go and buy phone with it

Unfortunately you are right. Thankfully though, there are a few who are thinking more about their future and these few can motivate many others with their stories. I interviewed a 21 year old CEO who started her business with N40k her parents gave her. Today, she is training people much older than her. If you look closely, you will find their are some young people making a difference and those are the kind of people I like to share their stories.
Hopefully, sooner than later, our generation will be the driving force of our economy.

Folayemi Agusto is the Chief Executive Officer of The Artisan Gift Company, an establishment that was registered in January 2014 to provide services to celebrants and event makers. As an entrepreneur, Agusto who was featured in the premier edition of GT Bank SME Market Hub ‘Merchant Monday’ programme, said her expectation when beginning her business is very different from the reality she has gotten. In this interview with UZEZI ADESITE, the graduate from University of Virginia, USA, discusses her business and issues in the event management industry.

Tell us about The Artisans Gift Company?
The Artisans Gift Company is a gift and favour business based in Lagos Nigeria. We sell a range of gifts and favours for all sorts of events like baby showers, bridal showers, weddings, birthday parties and also package corporate gifts.
Why did you set up this business?
I started this business because I am very into event management and planning. I have attended lots of events in Lagos over the years and I never liked the gifts that were given out. I have seen vegetable oil as gift, I have seen garri. My cousin received bleaching cream last year. I have seen so many buckets and trays; so many odd things that people might not really need at home. So I wanted to change this industry I guess and change the gifts that were given out to things that are more practical, more useful and functional.

@ Poster, I think it would be nice to tell your would be readers that these books are not authored by you and you are giving out people's work, most of which are available as eBooks for sale. Just my opinion.

Are you unemployed, browsing the web and looking for vacancy adverts with email alerts of new openings from Jobberman and co flooding your mail box on a daily basis? Or, maybe you have a job that pays your bills but you are restless because you want to be somewhere else, doing something else that gives you joy. Perhaps, you are a super working mother (wife, mother and career woman), hoping for a change that will offer you more stay at home time with your family.

What do you love doing and where lies your passion? Almost any hobby can be turned into a business once you identify those who have a need for such services. Some event or catering businesses were started out of passion of the owners, to help someone they know organize an event or handle the catering of an event.

Do you love cooking? Is making an event venue look beautiful your thing? Or have you been to some events and wished the planner had done this or that with the arrangement of the decoration?

Perhaps, you have given starting a business in event management or catering a thought before but feel discouraged for reasons such as:
• too many people already doing the business
• no fund for startup
• no idea of the needed skills and tools etc.
Well, two professionals are here to give us tips on these.

Parasitic:
I'm not a journalist by profession. I enjoy freelance writing but I have not really sort for a job. I thought may be you own a platform were I can showcase my skill.

No. I am a journalist and I blog also. Send me an email (zayzeeblog@gmail.com) and if I can see something you have written, I might be able to direct you to someone.

The writing skill can also be developed. Use what is in your hand to sustain yourself. If you can write, earn money from it.

Parasitic:
please will you employ me? I am a professional writter with nice content from news, political analyst, sports commentator, relationship expert, satrical information just to spice the day of my readers.

If you write what you say you do, then you should be a journalist na. Have you tried getting a job as a journalist?

millhouse:
how do i develop writing skills ?

If you have an interest in writing then you should give it a try. Do you love reading? If yes, what types of books do you enjoy reading? Do you love to tell stories?
One thing about writing is that you can have the idea in your head, but putting it down might be a problem. One thing to always remember though is that, if you must write, it must be easy for your reader to understand.
There are several ways to develop the skill. If you have never done it before, then start. Just pick up a pen and paper and write. Don't think too much about what you want to write. The words will come as you write.
One easy way to get you started is to write about yourself. Take it as an exercise. Who are you? What kind of job do your do? What kind of job do you wish you have? If your life were different, how would it be etc. Write about the people around you also as an exercise and give them to read and give you their verdict. Then know and understand the use of English Language.
There are several courses online you can research to find out how to develop the skill, but before you do that, determine what type of writing you want to do. Once you know, then you can go on the next step of how to go about it.

What the public believes is that you cannot survive on the income you make as a writer. What I believe is that as long as there is a possibility of getting an income through writing, then anything is possible. The experience of the public does not have to be my experience; and same goes for you.

Ever since I started working, writing is the only thing I know I am good at, and that skill is what has gotten me employment in the few places I have worked. So what about you?
Are you unemployed and wondering when an employment letter will be addressed to you? Or, are you looking for an extra source of income? Do you love reading and writing and wondering what your prospects are in the job market? Once you have the right skills, the opportunities open to a writer are endless. These skills include:

· Excellent writing skills
· Good grammar
· Good reading skills
· Good comprehension of the English language

As a writer, you want to ensure that what you have written can be understood by anyone who reads your work. You must master your punctuation, tenses, parts of speech and have knowledge of some figures of speech. If you have a pass mark on these, you are free to dream of a career in writing.
