***Phew***
I meet alot of people (great minds actually) as I go about my daily business and sometimes I am stunned when we rub minds. I usually get to find out that what I thought was a big idea and a take over strategy for my company "www.facebook.com/chuvaakgroup" to become the market leader in my industry, is what the person may be talking about casually. It's amazing!!!

At the end of the day brethren, nothing is new under the sun. We keep copying and pasting and merging old ideas and reinventing it. I read a book "Zero to One" (Google is your friend), that book changed my thought pattern. I can literally say that I have stepped up my game. I thought I was in a competition really, I thought I was competing with people in my industry; until I read this book.

I will share a piece of my thoughts with anyone on the earth for free right now (I'm actually doing myself a favour though). Long story short: I have learnt to partner with industry players that we may grow as against competing with them.

I Alfred O. Ukane, say this with all humility; My competitors are in China! My competitors are in the United States! My competitors are in Europe! This is the only way to play in other to get out of smallness. If I compete with strong brands (which I won't advertise here), it will put me in a position of superior-thinking that my immediate environment cannot explain. If I fight with a Goat, I am in the league of Goats but if I wrestle with a Lion, I will be in the league of Lions. If I must have the lion share, I must have a lion heart.

This is the key brethren, let your service be for the betterment of humanity. Let your business solve problems. Ideas rule the world is an old term, Problems rule the world is an immediate term, Solutions rule the world is the future term and that future is now.

As an employee or an entrepreneur let your work or business be a solution to somebody. Let it improve people's lives in many ways. Let your business help somebody get things done in a cheaper, faster, better, (you can add to the list) way.

Food for thought:
Bill Gates never planned to be the richest man or the market leader in His industry, he only has a vision to solve problems for the world. The market leader doesn't choose or elect Itself, the problems they solve actually do (better put, the solutions they offer actually do)

From today, let this be your thought, let this motivate you to redefine what you do, that we may have a better Africa!

I remain my Humble self, serial entrepreneur ALFRED OGHENEAKPOROBO UKANE (Hahahahahaha)

God Bless You!!!
