We can focus on entrepreneurship & investment: practical not theory. We can hold meetings fortnightly or monthly & brainstorm on available opportunities & biz 2 do.

We should think big, not small.

BACKGROUND:
The Glory of Babylon endures. Down through the ages its reputation comes to us as the richest of cities, its treasures as fabulous.
Yet it was not always so. The riches of Babylon were the results of the wisdom of its people. They first had to learn how to become wealthy.
When the good king, Sargon, returned to Babylon after defeating his enemies, the Elamites, he was confronted with a serious situation. The Royal Chancellor explained it to the King thus:
“After many years of great prosperity brought to our people because your majesty built the great irrigation canal and the mighty temples to the Gods, now that these works are completed the people seem unable to support themselves. The labourers are without employment. The merchants have few customers. The farmers are unable to sell their produce. The people have not enough gold to buy food.”
“But where has all the gold that we spent for these great improvements gone?” The King demanded.
“It has found its way, I fear,” responded the Chancellor, “into the possession of a few very rich men of our city. It filtered through the fingers of most of our people as quickly as the goat’s milk goes through the strainer. Now that the stream of gold has ceased to flow, most of our people have nothing to show for their earnings.”
The King was thoughtful for some time. Then he asked, “Why should so few men be able to acquire all the gold?”
“Because they know how,” he replied. “One may not condemn a man for succeeding because he knows how. Neither may one with justice take away from a man what he has fairly earned, to give to men of less ability.
“But why,” demanded the king, “should not all the people learn how to accumulate gold and therefore become themselves rich and prosperous?”
“Quite possible, your excellency. But who can teach them? Certainly not the priests because they know naught of money making”
“Who knows best in all our city how to become wealthy, Chancellor?’ asked the King.
“Thy question answers itself, your majesty. Who has amassed the greatest wealth in Babylon?”
“Well said, my able Chancellor. It is Arkad. He is the richest man in Babylon. Bring him before me on the morrow.”
Upon the following day, as the king had decreed, Arkad appeared before him, straight and sprightly despite his three score years and ten.
“Arkad,” spoke the King “is it true thou art the richest man in Babylon?”
“So it is reported, your majesty, and no man disputes it.”
“How becamest thou so wealthy?”
“By taking advantage of opportunities available to all citizens of our good city”
“Thou hadst nothing to start with?”
“Only a great desire for wealth. Besides this, nothing”
“Arkad, continued the King, “our city is in a very unhappy state because a few men know how to acquire wealth and therefore monopolize it, while the mass of our citizens lack the knowledge of how to keep any part of the gold they receive.
“It is my desire that Babylon be the wealthiest city in the world. Therefore, we must teach all the people how to acquire riches. Tell me, Arkad, is there any secret to acquiring wealth? Can it be taught?”
“It is practical, your majesty. That which one man knows can be taught to others.”
The King’s eyes glowed. “Arkad, thou speaketh the words I wish to hear. Wilt thou lend thyself to this great cause? Wilt thou teach thy knowledge to a school for teachers, each of whom shall teach others until there are enough trained to teach these truths to every worthy subject in my domain?”
Arkad bowed and said, “ I am thy humble servant to command. Whatever knowledge I possess will I gladly give for the betterment of my fellowmen and the glory of my King. Let your good chancellor arrange for me a class of one hundred men and I will teach to them those seven cures which did fatten my purse, than which there was none leaner in all Babylon.”
A fortnight later, in compliance with the King’s command, the chosen hundred assembled in the great hall of the Temple of Learning seated upon colourful rings in a semicircle. Arkad sat beside a small taboret upon which smoked a sacred lamp sending forth a strange and pleasing odor.
“Behold the richest man in Babylon, “whispered a student, nudging his neighbor as Arkad rose. “He is but a man even as the rest of us.”
“As a dutiful subject of our great King,” Arkad began, “ I stand before you in his service. Because once I was a poor youth who did greatly desire gold, and because I found knowledge that enabled me to acquire it, he asks that I impart unto you my knowledge.
“I started my fortune in the humblest way. I had no advantage not enjoyed as fully by you and every citizen in Babylon.
“The first storehouse of my treasure was a well-worn purse. I loathed its useless emptiness. I desired that it be round and full, clinking with the sound of gold. Therefore, I sought every remedy for a lean purse. I found seven.
“To you, who are assembled before me, shall I explain the seven cures for a lean purse which I do recommend to all men who desire much. Each day for seven days will I explain to you one of the seven remedies.
“Listen attentively to the knowledge that I will impart. Debate it with me. Discuss it among yourselves. Learn these lessons thoroughly, that ye may also plant in your purses the seed of wealth. First must each of you start wisely to build a fortune of his own. Then wilt thou be competent, and only then, to teach these truths to others.
“I shall teach to you in simple ways how to fatten your purses. This is the first step leading to the temple of wealth, and no man may climb who cannot plant his feet firmly upon the first step.

Excerpt from the book “The Richest Man in Babylon” George S. Clason
FOREWORD:
My vision to establish a business school formed when I first read this book in 2006. According to the bible, the book of Ecclesiastes Chapter 5 verse 6, it says “For a dream comes with much business and painful effort.” Living in this present economic dispensation in any country in the world has never been this challenging. Yet, many people are getting richer by the day legitimately while others are getting poorer by the day, in the same legitimate vein. More than ever before, the need to research into the secrets of succeeding at our choosing feat or passion becomes imperative.
Not schooling, but the right business skills geared towards our passion must be imbibed. After all aren’t there rich merchants who lack formal education but yet have fat bank accounts? Do we not know of professionals who have attained higher degrees of education yet struggle with their finances? I know a regular quote by Mark Twain, “I have never allowed schooling to affect my education.”
We must stop to think and imagine where our present life style will lead us. As the social strata widens, leaving a great gap between the rich and the poor, what becomes of the middle class who have jobs but still cannot sustain a healthy life style?
Be part of a positive change. Support my cause as I aim towards raising business giants by being the hub between the set of people who desire to acquire knowledge and those willing to impart it. My desire to bring into fruition, a network of people who have the right business skills to deliver anywhere in the world brings into existence, an unconventional business school targeted at the strong willed entrepreneur. A business school like non other, which takes care of its members’ financial aptitude and power. With fire in my heart and a burning sensation to excel at networking giants from the cradle, I humbly introduce to you, the mother of all great works I have imagined and I named it “First Advance Business Class”. Simply referred to as FABC.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.


EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
First Advance Business Class is poised to be the number one business force to reckon with in Nigeria. Unlike every other business school that exists before now, FABC is designed to teach up-to-date business skills with adequate technology and facilitators with the provision of finance to its network of members as key derivative. ABC will be targeting young and ambitious minds who are willing to succeed anywhere in the world. Ademola Oguntona, a Banker/Entrepreneur/ Computer Engineer would coordinate events and ensure the going concern named FABC sticks to its objectives keenly.

MISSION STATEMENT:
To register, nurture, and sustain entrepreneurs from the cradle to business maturity and security.

VISION STATEMENT:
Networking business giants globally who would mentor other aspiring business giants.
TARGET:
Passionate entrepreneurs with a knack for business success.
OBJECTIVES:
1. To prospect for passionate entrepreneurs
2. To invite successful and skilled mentors to educate business newbies on the salient business skills pertinent in any business environment
3. To equip consummated entrepreneurs with up to date business and leadership skills.
4. To instill the spirit of ‘All Round Success” in everyone concerned.


SERVICES:
First Advanced Business class will provide aspiring business champions with training and seminars covering every area of business success at an affordable rate. A business curricular covering Stress Management, Accounting, Health Guard, Economics, Computing, Statistics, Government, Customer Service, Business Ethics, Telephone Ethics, Communication Skills, just to mention a few.
FABC would provide micro credit to diligent members who have kept a good balance sheet professionally and are certified credible by sound accountants.
Our website would be knowledge based. Member would be granted access to download relevant business e books. Online quantitative and Qualitative tests would be administered periodically to ascertain the degree of members’ understanding of key topics.
MARKETING:
First Advance Business Class will utilize a three-Prong strategy to generate at least, 50 Percent increase in its Network force each year. The first prong would be the use of certificates, handbills, posters and banners to prospect for new members. The second prong would be the use of the Business School integrity to consummate more than 50 percent of every group of new members. The third prong would be to sustain already won members by according them the right skill and financial backing they desire.
Fund Raising Scheme for Members
One of the key objectives of the business school is to ensure members earn as they learn. As members register, they do so in terms of networking with older members. The most recent member becomes a down line of older members thereby giving older members the opportunity to save some money as new members join through the school’s network marketing plan. An older member can earn as much as N240, 000 over a period of time as the business school progresses, so the success and expansion of the business school would depend on the commitment of members inviting other members and the integrity of the school to win fresh entrepreneurs. As members grow, the business school grows. A member-driven school.
Loan Advancement for Members
Members are expected to keep a good accounting record of up to a year relating to their businesses (as they would be taught early on in training). By doing so, it gives the business school an insight to how such member is progressing in his/her business. The account book forms the real life report sheet which can be used as part of the criteria to grant micro credit at a no interest rate to members.



Business standards
Registered members are expected to provide the necessary documentation for registration. This includes a valid means of identification, a proof of location, passport photograph, reference letters from sponsor, business curricular vitae and a clear cut letter stating members’ passion and business dreams. It is mandatory for registered members who have started earning on the business school’s marketing scheme to register their businesses as a legal entity in Nigeria.
