          Starting or maintaining a business venture requires intentional actions from both staff and founders of the venture. The pride that comes with watching your business grow can be equaled to watching your  child grow through all the life phases and succeed . Not all business ventures would have the same structure but these elements are essential to cement every existing structure.

we will have this elements in in series, lets do this!
  1.  INTEGRITY:  “it takes 20 years to build a reputation and only five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that you will do things differently” Warren Buffet. Don’t make promises you can’t keep and keep the promises you have made. You have to gain credibility before your customers, as mundane as it may seem many business ventures have lost customers due to unreliability. Make sure customer’s needs are attended to and promises made are kept, don’t tell them your product can make them look 10 years younger when it can’t, customers appreciate your honesty.
  2.    APPEARANCE: “ how you dress is how you will be addressed” that saying is true, your staff should appear professional and smart at all times and also speak like professionals , most customers judge from the outer appearance before subscribing to your service. Your products should be well packaged and appealing to the eye to compel customer’s purchase. Your web sites, business cards and probably flyers should be done by professionals, pay the large sum and you won’t be sorry you did.
  3.  GOALS: don’t forget the actual motivation for starting your business. Your goals should be measurable, attainable, specific and realistic, Make it clear to your staff and if possible your customers. Don’t stray from your actual goal, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be ambitious.
  4.  BUSINESS PLAN: always have a detailed plan about your business year, you shouldn’t start a business year without a plan. Have plan on how much sales you are willing to make that year or month, how much you will be willing to charge customers, how to go about attracting new customer and maintaining the existing ones. This will serve as a guide for your business year.

5.       5.   CUSTOMER CARE:  you are in the business to serve your customer, your customer is king and you have to treat them like one don’t make them feel less. Some business ventures take this for granted but it should be your customers are important to your business; their testimonies and referrals for your business would go a long way. Customers will always go back to where they were treated right.

Sincerely, growing up is not all fun and games as earlier envisioned... I mean, thought I will grow up, do whatever it is I wanted, go out when I wanted, have all the money in the world (lol) you can imagine my shock when I graduated. I had an expectation of where I wanted to work, what my earnings would look like and of course it wasn’t a small figure, jokes on me now. The thing is, I wasn’t ready for these responsibilities but they came anyway. The days of serial brokenness (if there is a word like that), when I don’t feel like seeing the sun and I doubted my relevance all befell me. But by now, you can totally relate to this if you are in your adolescence or adult phase but the truth is no-one was given a guideline on how to handle these things because we have our unique experiences and what sets you apart is how gracefully you handle these loads of responsibilities coming your way. One thing is vital, “Preparation”.  being on this adolescence rol...

I'm talking about the perfection trap.  Don't fall for this, you will never attain it. You will stretch but it will never be enough because guess what, you don't even know how to measure perfect, nobody does. Whatever we do is an expression of our opinion and a collection of other people's beliefs which we have now accepted, so how then can we measure "perfection " if we are all trapped in our biases. Do you realize that no matter how exceptionally genius an art or piece of writing is, someone always has something to say about how it would have been better? Rather than striving for perfection, I will suggest you go for "excellence" here, it is ok if you don't get it right the first time but as far as you are willing to make corrections and improve constantly you can attain excellence. Here is one thing you can do to achieve excellence.                   Don't stop learning. This sounds bori...

"FOR UNTO EVERYONE THAT HATH SHALL BE GIVEN, AND HE SHALL HAVE ABUNDANCE. BUT FROM HIM THAT HATH NOT SHALL BE TAKEN AWAY EVEN THAT WHICH HE HATH." -Matthew 25:29 When I was younger I marveled at the unfairness of the verse above, until I came to understand the true meaning. What you do with what you have been given determines what you will be given.   Expecting more when you haven't utilized what you have already is futile. So you can go on and on about how tomorrow will be better and how great you'll be in the future but as long as you're not doing enough to facilitate that future you'll continuously tell yourself the same thing until one day you realize you're living in the future and it's not as grand as you expected it to be. This is why you must push yourself today to do better than you did yesterday, only the mediocre are always at their best. Striving towards excellence should be the goal at all times and in all situations. It is import...
