It's Time For Business/Hussle Review

Reviewing your business is an essential step in evaluating its performance, identifying areas of improvement, and making informed decisions to enhance its success. Here are some steps to effectively review your business:

1. Set clear review objectives: Define what you want to achieve through the review process. It could be assessing overall performance, identifying strengths and weaknesses, evaluating customer satisfaction, or analyzing financial data.

2. Gather necessary data: Collect relevant information and data from various sources. This may include financial statements, sales reports, customer feedback, employee performance evaluations, market research, and any other data that can provide insights into different aspects of your business.

3. Analyze financial performance: Review your financial statements, profit margins, cash flow, and other financial metrics to understand the financial health of your business. Identify any trends, anomalies, or areas of concern that need attention.

4. Assess customer satisfaction: Analyze customer feedback, reviews, complaints, and surveys to assess their satisfaction levels. Look for patterns or common issues that may impact customer loyalty and identify steps to address them.

5. Evaluate marketing and sales strategies: Examine your marketing and sales efforts to determine their effectiveness. Review your advertising campaigns, social media presence, customer acquisition strategies, and sales performance. Identify areas where improvements can be made or new approaches to be adopted.

6. Review operational efficiency: Evaluate your operational processes, supply chain management, production efficiency, and inventory management. Identify any bottlenecks, inefficiencies, or areas where cost reduction or streamlining is possible.

7. Assess employee performance: Evaluate the performance and productivity of your employees. Review their goals, job satisfaction, training needs, and overall contribution to the business. Identify opportunities for skill development and recognize outstanding performance.

8. Identify strengths and weaknesses: Analyze the data collected and identify the strengths and weaknesses of your business. Consider factors such as brand reputation, product quality, customer service, innovation, and competitive advantages. Determine areas where you excel and areas that need improvement.

9. Set goals and action plans: Based on the review findings, set specific goals and develop actionable plans to address identified weaknesses and seize opportunities. Prioritize the most critical issues and allocate resources accordingly.

10. Regularly monitor progress: Implement the necessary changes and monitor their impact on your business. Continuously track key metrics, revisit goals, and adjust strategies as needed. Regularly review your business to ensure ongoing growth and success.

Reviewing your business should be an ongoing process rather than a one-time activity👍

September Dangerous Guts Killers (which one are you facing squarely)?

These foxes here are not to be ignored anymore oooo🙈🤩

1. Self-doubt and fear: Frequently, our own anxieties and concerns of failure hold us back. We could have self-doubt or think that our goals are unattainable.

2. External impediments: There may be outside circumstances that prevent us from achieving our goals, such as a lack of financial resources, society expectations or norms, and impediments like prejudice or discrimination.

3. Lack of support: It might be challenging to pursue our aspirations if we don't have the support of our family, friends, or mentors. We may overcome obstacles and accomplish our goals with the help and support of others.

4. Lack of information or skills: On occasion, we could not have the knowledge or abilities required to follow our dreams. In these situations, obtaining the appropriate education or training

I found this quote by Harold Thurman Whiteman quite captivating....
It caught my attention because it's something I can relate with.

Well, in the business world they say, it's safer to build a business around what the world (community, environment....) needs ☝️if you must make profit, which to an average person may mean that it must not necessarily be something that excites you🤔 but I bet, what makes you come alive may not be that yeah! I love the convenience of the work environment etc .

It might just be 👉 oh yea! This service or product that I offer is actually solving problems not just the money but there is value and unique solution about my offer. Of course, every business venture should be value driven otherwise, it will just be a matter of time....👎

I have lots of opinions on this ranging from self-discovery, self-awareness, talent discovery, market research, and service fulfillment in business and non-profit.

For now, all I could say is agree with Harold Thurman to a large extent.
You see, that thing that makes you come alive, keeps you restless at night, keeps making you pen down some crazy and elephant project and ideas🤞if you have it, thank goodness!!!

That Entertainment Your Customer Don't Need👎

I know one of the ways to engage a customer is having conversation with them. It could be a form of entertainment or therapy🤐 but always be alert to keep your other customer's sensitive personal life story or your neigbour's private life out of the conversation.

It's hard though but not all customers might want to come back and buy from you the next time.
They might think, after all, if the opportunity presents itself you will do the same to them.

You could share your own story but not a 3rd party's (particularly when you don't have their permission to).

The thing about sharing another person's sensitive detail is that you might be sharing from a very shallow perspective, based on what you think you know and then I hear say.
It may not be the exact truth and in some cases may dent the reputation of that person if heard by a gullible myopic mind (most likely not going to check with the person or verify the details).

Personally, this is a big turn-off. A customer entertained me just recently and I felt like throwing up. How on earth will someone be so comfortable in talking about another's private life in such a disrespectful manner in the name of.....🤦‍♀️

```8 Spectator Lesson's From Hilda Baci's Cook-a-Thon
```
Please help me add to no. 8

1. Have a Vision for your Skill

That clear picture of what you want your skill to achieve; how far and wide it should go

2. Set SMART Goals for Your Skill
She ensured that her goals were:

Specific - She knew exactly what she wanted to achieve.

Measurable - She did a research to know what was achievable based on past record. This inspired to face her fears squarely💪

Attainable: Based on the Indian's woman's achievement, and her capacity (portfolio) she knew this is achievable.

Realistic: She was kinda realistic, (though this type of crazy dreams can give one a heart attack), she knew the numbers of what has been achieved before based on research.

Time Bound

3. Build Visibility
She built a portfolio that made her worth investing by her sponsor

4. Be Strategic: I am certain she had this all planned out long ago, this was certainly not her immediate short-term goal, it's likely one of her medium or long-term goals. This means, she must have started and achieved smaller goals successfully that build her capacity for a bigger fit...

5. Be at it : She has been cooking all along

6. The Success effect: Now Hilda is being dragged to identify whether she is a Cross Riverian or an Akwa Ibomite.
She has more cousins and sisters than her mum is aware of🤩

7. The Evidence Effect: People have been inspired by her "If Hilda Could achieve that, so can I..."

8. Ceteris Paribus: Henceforth, she will be a celebrity chef, she will dine with Kings and Queens, She has outsmarted her competitor, she will influence for other brands, she is a big name........

The guy in the city, suburb, and village has different dreams.

Each dream is either shaped by a desire to earn wealth, fame, a sense of accomplishment, or offer value for society's development.

However, their level of education, exposure, ideologies, and guts has a role to play in how far their dream could fly and how wide it could travel

JOB THREAT/THE FUTURE OF JOBS

Just thinking about the future of jobs🤔.
AI has revolutionized the labour market, job security is more threatening at a faster pace. What looks promising today might become "a good old day".....

Still, here we are still studying for certificates, social acceptance and a better self-esteem.

Young people really need to take the future of their career into their own hands by keeping up with global labour market.

Hmmmmm

I am suspecting something rather🤐 particularly in developing countries with poor educational system, infrastructure and leadership....

Don't wait for anyone, be self-aware

You are likely not going to make a sale the first day you tell someone about your product or service.

However, you will have to create as much awareness as possible. Let everyone know that you sell so so and so. Particularly, those whom you think are likely to need your service.
At the end of the day here is what you will observe.

1. A lot of people will get to know oh, yeah he does or sell product or service A, B or C...

2. Some of these prospect will begin to consider your service (even though they are not sure if you will meet their need)

3. Over time, it all depends on how you build relationship and trust for your product, some will decide in time of need to reach out to you for more information.

4. If there is enough evidence that your product or service can meet their need, they will buy from you or sign up for your service.

If you are a product or service business, what has been your experience?

Using no. 1-4, share your current business experience in the comment section.

Do you have more of no. 1 or 2, 3, or 4.?

What is Identity? While studying as a social science student I got to learn about the concept of WHAT IS & WHAT OUGHT TO BE.

If there is anything anyone should be happy about in days of humble beginnings, perhaps phases of self-doubt and hopelessness are that as long there is life, IT ISN'T OVER YET, one can become anything he or she so desires.

For me, Identity is all that God created us to become. The charge and empowerment to Dominate and be productive.

Our identity is in what and who we could have become.

However, we are limitless only to our access to the right information, opportunities, resources, ability to stay focused, resilience, perseverance, and defined goal.

Most of all, VISION🍷

We are powerful, our performance today reflects our strengths and weaknesses.

If we are self-aware, we evaluate our performance to reflect our true identity.

We were created to dominate the world, our identity is not in our performance but our performance could reflect what identity we have chosen.

Good news! We have a choice✨✨✨✨
Amidst our performances, we are the Boss😊

Look at this tree, imagine if the branch is cut off from it.

If the branch is cut off, it will certainly die off. The branches of this tree bears the leaves and probably fruits too.

The branch displays the beauty of the tree. Without it for a moment you can hardly see the beauty of a tree.

As long as the branch is connected to the tree, it stays alive.

See your life as the branch of this tree. You are what displays the beauty of God (the tree) but John 15:5 says as long as God's word is in you.

This what I understood from all my Pastor said earlier today.

Does my understanding make sense at all?

That Dissapiontment that makes you undermine oxygen.

Have you ever told yourself "what am I living for"? and then someone told you "oh no, don't take it personally, you should at least be grateful for life"; then you are like "what life? What's the big deal about this my life sef? Have you not seen my mates achieving, becoming and doing this and that?"

It can be very frustrating when you are overwhelmed by your failures, mistakes and inability to achieve your desired goals.

However, life is a big deal! Being grateful for life is not a denial of your failures, mistakes, regrets or handicap.

It is acknowledgement of an unexplored opportunity to become all that you can think of.
You see, life is worth being grateful for, but not a licence to waste loofing around because it is a gift for a specific purpose.

Let the failures and not yets be, start today to set a new phase.
After all, God believes so much in you!

You!!!

Hey,
Sometimes, no one has to understand except you.
You are all you have got, if you cease to exist, the world will only pause for few minutes, hours or days and still move on.

Put out all those concerns that you have allowed overwhelm you and hold your shoulders high.

Keep your heads up!
The world need you, may be not now but in a bit or much later, if this speaks to your soul, breathe!!!

You are the most important factor on earth, anything and every other thing is secondary.

Who else at some point in a new year, started reading the bible from old testament then after reading some "thou shall not plant two crops in the same field", decided to leave old testament to rest and just focus on new testament.

Jesus has really saved humanity! Such a great salvation! Life made simple, principles and laws simplified into just 2

What can you do without money?

Sometimes I wonder why this paper called money get too much level sef☹️

The thought of it is both funny and annoying.

How can it be the single thing that frustrate the poor so much and give some rich too much pride🤨

Happy new year people!
Don't forget, there is no happy new year without money whether you believe it or not.

Plan to earn money legitimately this year, we all need money for food, clothing, housing, health care, career, family and development purposes.

NGN20,000×5Days and the Cost.

The first time I stumbled on stories here and there regarding the guy in this picture earning about NGN20,000 daily from the sale of Agidi on the streets of Uyo ___ I was really impressed.

The average human response to such news will be do the Math.
Probably multiply NGN20, 000 by 5 or 6 days of the week, which will equal to at least NGN100, 000.

Ah! So you mean this guy earns NGN400, 000 monthly from selling just Agidi? 🤔 Wow!!! That means in just a year he could make up to NGN4. 8Million....

Most people or an average person will not remember to calculate how much he uses to make the agidi (buying agidi recipes and processing).

What about the cost his unique branding (style of dressing and packaging) 😉

What about the cost of neglect, jest, insult and probably self-image when he started out?
How many people mocked him, how many made him feel like giving up when he was yet to start making big money.
I mean how can a grown up man imagine hawking agidi🤔

As 2022 comes to an end, think of so many great projects, goals and vision you have abandon due to the high cost of production.

Try calculating the profit too.

The way I smile when I see pictures of this guy everywhere. Now everyone wants to identify with him. Particularly, after the big media started sharing his story😄

I love the fact that he choosed a good course. It impires me to bear the pain of becoming successful.
I hope it inpires you too🙌

What Does Christmas Mean To You?

While I was a child, Christmas was just that time when you enjoy and explore luxury.
People become kind in an unusual manner; malice, bitterness and hatred suspended.....
If you look around, you may observe something similar in your neighbourhood. A lot of people love the Christmas party and jamboree.
Unfortunately, lots don't know WHY CHRISTMAS.

What Does Christmas Mean To You?

Merry Christmas 🎄🍷
I wish you a merry Christmas everyday of your life💖💖
I wish that the essence of Christmas is not limited to 25 December but a 24/7 culture and experience✌️

With love,

23/12/2022

Merry Christmas!!!

Don't let having the best food and drink to enjoy this Christmas be more important than WHY WE CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS.

Did you know that Jesus was born so that we can move from consumption to production.

True or false?
