Business Savvy

Hello everyone, how are you doing? I hope that by now we'd be accustomed to the habit of frequently washing of hands or the use of hand sanitizers since the first confirmed case of coronavirus in our dear country. Prevention is sure better than cure!


I have had so many things going on so much that I haven't even thought about writing in a while. This just dropped in my heart. Having a business idea is a great plan, executing and implementing is another.


So many businesses have collapsed over the years some are still struggling and others still remain an idea. Inasmuch as we have got beautiful ideas and all. What differs? It's the intellect that differs.


I decided to title this having a sustaining and successful intellect as an employer. Have you noticed that an employer is always on his toes, thinking of how to increase profit, improve employees' standards? And constantly thinking about how to strategize and create new products to keep the organization at a very good distance from competitors.


They have the vision but need a team to work with- one that would complement them. They have got salaries to pay at the end of the month. They might be in the highest position in the organogram but are faced with so unseen stress and a sleepless night.


I was watching an interview about Aliko Dangote and the number of hours of sleep he had days when he first started his business. You will be shocked to know that he still works as hard as he did then even with all his acquisitions.


When I use to be in the 8-5 sector, I felt my boss was restless because he always seemed to have a long list of tasks and as an employee, I felt he was stressing me out to meet my daily deliverables and how I needed a break. I wasn't working with an employer's intellect. I didn't work like I owned the job and that was why I saw it as so much stress and couldn't handle the pressure.


A lot of us are fed up with our jobs, positions, and businesses because we are still driving that bus as a passenger, not as a driver or would I say one who is in charge of the steering. The passenger can sleep off, buy stuff, chit chat but the moment the driver shuts his eyes for a nap. I am sure we can tell what the result might be and how disastrous that might be.


Have an employer's intellect. Anything doing is worth doing well. It might be your business no matter how small it is. You need to start taking charge and drive that bus like you have it filled up with passengers that will safely get to their destination. Not only will they benefit but you will too.


Have an employer's intellect!

I would love to hear from you. Kindly subscribe and please drop a comment.

My birthday Thanksgiving/ Thanksgiving Jar

 Hello friends, It's been a moment. Today is the 21st of May 2021, how amazing!

GOOD BYE TO 2024 : WELCOME TO THE NEW YEAR 2025!

Greetings, Friends Since I haven't been here in a long time, I know that some of you must have moved on, even though I know that many of you would be speculating about my return. I'm apologizing publicly for being away for so long. To be honest, 2024 was a lot for me; I needed to do more reflection. Let us begin the new year with a heartfelt congrats. I'd like to wish everyone a happy new year. We can never get 2024 back, no matter how much we make or lose. It has only been added to a list of the years you have spent on this planet. It's only the second day of the year, but it's already a new year. Here's a little math exercise: We have 363 days remaining if we subtract two days from the 365-day year. This means that we have plenty of time to get our plans for the year off the ground. Watch this space because I will be sharing a lot with you this year. I pray that the new year brings us all good health, joy, peace, love, and unity and that we continue to be acc...

My Uk life Series - The Beginning (Planning)

 Hi Friends, This has been long overdue but I think I am in a good place to begin this series. Travelling has never been something on my list. Even as kids, I would constantly say I loved it in my home country ‘Nigeria’ and wasn’t going anywhere. I never knew God had other plans. I recalled making enquiries about Canada’s Permanent Residency and how you had to take the IELTS as part of the requirement. All of a sudden, I was intrigued and tried it. I also made an effort to persuade my husband to do the same, but he shared my perspective and wasn't thrilled about the prospect of living abroad. In any case, we both completed the IELTS and got started on the procedure, but we gave it up since we had a more important assignment that needed our full focus.   In 2021, we decided to relocate to the United Kingdom. At first, it was difficult because I was only starting to adjust to a new state and environment after resigning my 9 to 5 job, and now I had to relocate once more. I wasn't...
