TURNING YOUR FEMININITY ON IN BUSINESS


Hello dear,

Happy new month. May God do exceedingly above all you ask, think or imagine this March. This is an inspirational piece to make you excel more in buisness. Happy reading.

There's something unique about a woman that makes the earth and the world respond to her favourably - HER FEMININITY. That's why places where a man may be rejected, a woman is accepted and helped with ease. As long as you operate in your Femininity, the earth and those in it will help you and respond to you favourably. But, if you refuse to turn on your Femininity, you may find things unnecessarily difficult. Today, I wanna show you how to turn your Femininity on in Business. Are you ready?

1. Keep a smiling face and a cheerful disposition.
Nothing lights up a woman's face and draws people to her like cheerfulness. It creates a warm aura around you that draws people to you. I know you like to look reserved, no kwalms. But if you deal with people in Business, you have to put this on every day. It will not only attract people to you but make them relate better with you which will eventually translate to more sales and referrals. Try it out.

2. Be kind and avoid using a harsh voice except when it's necessary.
There's something your voice tone does to those around you that eventually affects your business. A harsh voices elicits harshness from those you deal with while a soft tone and a kind disposition provokes both a favourable response.

3. Include something extra.


Traditionally, it is an accepted fact that a woman naturally transforms an empty house to a beautiful home and  raw food into a delicious meal. Bring your creative feminine skills into business by adding something extra to your business modus operandi. Upgrade your packaging and presentation, find ways to make your goods or service delivery more attractive, appealing and inviting. Try the JARA principle by adding value added services or bonuses to your customers when they come to you. It could be as little as a bottle of malt, a free belt, shower cap or hair net with your sales. Remember that it was in the process of extending kindness to a thirsty Eleazar (Abraham's servant) that Rebecca landed herself a mega deal (Isaac). The JARA (extra) principle will make a whole lot of difference for you in 2016.

4. Fall in love with your customers and keep learning better ways to reach them.
A woman in love is very creative and vibrant, ever seeking ways to satisfy her man. She goes ahead to learn how to cook new meals, acquire new bedmatics skills and anything she knows will bring joy to her man. Apply the same energy to your business. Find better ways to satisfy your customers, knowing fully well that you have competition outside. As you do this, you will eventually stumble upon skills, tips and secrets that will make your customers have eyes for no one else but you.

The feminine power of God is you. You only need wisdom to activate it. The tips listed above will help turn your Femininity on in Business and command major results. For deeper tips on how to turn on God's feminine power in you in Business and other spheres of life, you need the Holy Spirit. As you lean on him, asking questions, acquiring sound knowledge and applying them, your testimonies will exceed your imagines.

Have a beautiful month ahead.

4 Business Errors You May Be Making


Getting to the root of the problem is the first step to finding a solution.

Are you a business owner? Do you have a product or service you offer that ought to be yielding you dividends but it isn’t? Before you take any drastic moves or blame it one wicked and devilish uncle somewhere, take a look at these four business errors to see if you’re guilty of any of them
  • You’re Stuck Selling to Family/Friends

Selling to family and friends is a good starting point for any business you may be into but it should not be your dwelling place. After a while, you need to extend your customer base to people who are not related to you and are not your friends; you need to go public! If you’re still stuck selling only to those who know you, you’ll eventually start experiencing diminishing returns and come to a standstill.



  •  You Give Too Much Out on Credit
Giving your product out on credit is one thing that accompanies running a business; a “necessary evil” of some sorts. While you may not be able to cut out completely, you should be careful of giving too much of your products out on credit. This practice has wrecked a lot of businesses and it will wreck yours if you’re not careful except you also have a place where you get your products on credit. Learn to do more of cash sales and give products out on credit to trusted customers. Now I’m not referring to those you know alone but those you’ve discovered pay what they owe and pay it on time. Have a price limit of what you can give on credit, if you must sell on credit, so that it controls how much of your goods go out on credit in general and to a particular person.
  •  You Want to Do It Alone

To do certain businesses and run at certain levels of business, you can’t run alone; you will need partners, sponsors shareholders and the likes. All you need is a memorandum of understanding after you and these partners have reached a decision on who handles what aspects of the business, what each party is expected to contribute and how to split ratios. Take such a step requires honesty from both parties. However, before you take this step, get legal advice from a legal practitioner so you can take steps to protect your idea from idea thieves who may want to steal your idea and run it alone while posing as would-be partners.
  • Good Content; Not Enough Adverts
I cannot over emphasise this enough. No matter how good you or your products are, if no one knows about them, how are you going to make sales??? It’s not enough to open a shop, print a complimentary card or have a social media page for your business that only your friends know about. Explore conventional and unconventional advert mediums to get your products and services known. The more people you reach, the more your chances of gaining more customers and making more sales.  
So What Do I Do Now?
That’s simple. Go over what you just read and see how you can put them into practice before your business goes bankrupt. A word they say is enough for the wise. For more business tips, click here to read.

3 Misconceptions People Have About Starting a Business


The shortest way to successfully build anything is to start and continue till you finish it.
 Written By: Tammy Bankins (Guest Blogger)
This post began as a question someone asked which went thus: “are there any shortcuts in business?” The question got me laughing a little and of course, my answer was “no, there aren’t any shortcuts in business”. This question stems from a lot of misconceptions people have about starting a business; a by-product of the get-rich-quick / be-my-own-boss syndrome that often hits a lot of us. I have seen a countless number of people jump into business, abandoning their current jobs, hoping for better times only to get disappointed along the line. Some of them even ended up losing all their life savings in the process. Usually, the million dollar question that pops up in their minds at that point is: “what happened?” Most times, when a lot of people get in the world of business, they have their mind centered on how much profit they would make and how soon these profits would start rolling in; totally oblivious of the fact that every business has its risks, low moments and high points. 
You see, business isn’t like preparing noddles! Neither is it like art where a mistake can become an extension of the artist’s creativity and probably even hit the jackpot! Business is a process!  It’s like building a house and it requires that you commit to it for the long haul otherwise, all you’ll be left with is a trail of abandoned projects (businesses). Sincerely speaking, the whole process of building a business can be quite tasking and boring, especially at the initial stage. Here are 3 out of the many misconceptions people usually have about starting a business.
#1-It’s My Passion So It’s Going To Be Easy

It’s okay to get into a business simply because you have passion for it. But, if you think the process of getting that business established is going to be an easy one simply because it’s your passion, then you’ll be in for a shocking surprise. I hear people say “this is something I have passion for so it’s not gonna take me time to make it in this business." But the truth is that in business, your passion is the weakest guarantee of a quick rise. Why? Because passion cannot withstand the heat of business! Passion cannot confront or withstand the boredom/down moments that accompany business (a basic component of all businesses). Passion gives you momentary excitement which is good because it enables you kick-start the business. However, it is commitment, tenacity and diligence that get you through in the long run. The same thing also applies to talent; neither passion nor talent alone is sufficient to make you last in business. Tiger Woods may have been a born golfer, yet, he worked harder than average golfers to rise to his current position. Even if the business idea burning in you is something inborn, to become a high flyer, you must pay the price to make it work just like a person who wasn’t born with such a gift.

#2-It’s All About the Daily or Monthly Cash Flow

The thought of having something (a business) that generates extra income is quite an exhilarating one; a propelling force for most people’s attempt at business. Talk about having multiple streams of income…I mean, who doesn’t need the extra cash every now and then? We all do!  But before you get so excited because you heard your friend boast about how he makes N30,000 every day from starting with just a N10,000 capital, the question you should be asking them is how long it took them to get to that point and the things they had to endure or go through. Mind you, most people boast about gross earnings not their net earnings after salary deductions, tax, maintenance costs and even tithe! How much a business generates daily or monthly shouldn’t be your strongest motivation for plunging into it. This mindset of what you stand to gain opens the door and makes you vulnerable to fraudsters who are out to get you and your money with sweet promises of a quick return on your capital (profit). If all you want is to make money fast, there are two places I guarantee this way of thinking will lead you to: the police cell across the street and a hospital bed at the clinic closest to you.

#3-Huge Capital = Large Scale Profits

One popular misconception people have about business is that starting a business on a large scale with a huge capital guarantees huge profit margins instantly. With this in mind, they raise a large amount of money and start big only to end big and in pieces! The fact that you have all the capital it takes to start is a good thing, but that is no guarantee for quick returns. As you learn to master the ropes of your new business, you’ll only be making the expected errors on a larger scale which equals larger losses. You don’t need to borrow huge sums of money borrow or empty your life savings to start a business (especially if it’s a business you’re not so familiar with or you’re new in business) just because you want to hit it big instantly. Start with what you have and make mistakes on a small scale while you learn from them and your business eventually grows stronger, making more profit with time.
A Few More Words
  • Make out time to nurture whatever you’ve invested your money into.
  • Don’t be in a haste to “hammer” or make it big instantly.
  • Follow the process, stick with the boredom and learn to become better at the business.
All through my business career, I have learnt the hard way that not all businesses make you profit from the first shot. Some businesses you venture into will build your creativity, others will build your persistence and aggression, then suddenly, the money begins to flow in and you become what people erroneously call an "overnight success". You are a success story waiting to happen. Just hang in there; learn all you can and don’t look for any shortcuts to success/making it big because there are none.
