Business is only all about risks when you wanna explore and invest..But there is way i have been running my business for years with zero risk and zero capital.. and today i make profits.. that every year, i choose a destination and fly there for relaxation..mind you i dont do G if thats what ur mind tells you first upon seeing my comment ..

SmartMen:
Never embark on such business without part payment. at least 50-70% payment should be done before you start.

Omudia11:
How do you know Dantata was his mentor?

alezzy13:


Una don start ooo.

Angy55:


Real estate is the big deal... But then one has to be very patient. Right from time I have vowed to venture into real estate alone.

castro316:
My broda business is not for everybody. First you must lear how to understand people if not you will lie till thy kingdom come. Second don't start business on your own you must learn the ropes from someone successful in that biz. I am sure you want to be boss in a hurry. Sorry it doesn't work that way. Even dangote had a mentor dantata. Peace out

AreaFada2:

Sir have you mastered it yourself or you are just quoting a business theory or someone?

The10thMan:


Of course. That is the simple definition of the word ''RISK''. Uncertainties. I mean isn't that fundamental knowledge? Even without being said.
However, even uncertainties can be being managed. That there are risks does not mean the business must eventually fail. The question then is were people prepared for the uncertainties?

Omudia11:
That was a very wrong choice of business.
How can you spend 4m in opening a supermarket. I know businesses you can start with 1m and tripple that in a month.

I have a very funny and annoying case I'm dealing with right about now.

A company contacted me to design calendars for 2019 for them. After 2weeks of designing and countless tweaking plus product photo sessions, it got to the print stage and I suddenly the company said they can't pay the amount I requested for the print job.

I said OK fine, this is the soft copy of the job, get a printer to do the printing for less than what I offered, they went ahead and printed elsewhere even though the manager later confirmed they paid more for the printing compared with what I offered.

Now, the issue is this, I need my money for my intellectual property and time put into the design for calendar that they have already shared to their customers. To my greatest shock, I was told I won't be paid a dime.

What is their reason for not paying me? That I wasn't the one that printed the job, hence I won't be paid for the design. Like wtf are they talking about.

I'm already getting legal advice on how to recover my money from them.

Starting up a business ain't child's play people. Perseverance will surely pay in the long run. Stay focused, don't give up.

emmabest2000:
OP are you for real ? Discouraging people to start up a business just because yours didn’t moved well ?

You forgot that everything in this world depends on your luck and star , that its didn’t workout for mr A doesn’t mean its will not workout for mr B


By the way business is not for everyone!
You can try something else abeg !

Babyforever:
or invest the money on me #SLAYQUEENGOALS

Dshocker:


Leave that dangote and dantata story....the company was started up with stolen government money

Rubbiish:

hahahahahahaha.....
You can't even tripple 1m in a month with MMM

Jamal090:


Venturing into business with the fundamental knowledge of the risky nature of business goes a long way in preparing a person for certain levels of conceivable risks.

Jamal090:


However, I reiterate that no one is ever fully prepared for the near-heart attack risks posed by businesses.

Jamal090:


But this truly doesn't mean that every business must eventually fail, if the right risk control methods are improvised.

castro316:
any biz that tells me I will triple my money I will not go into it

whytediamond:


I hope they pay up soon else, they'll pay much bigger in the long run. I don't understand how they think they can advertise their company for a whole year without paying for the design of the advert material. Funny.

963AvatarSpirit:
Most of you lamentators do not know what is takes to run a business successfully.

A great product is just one of the 4 steps process to guarantee profiteering and each of the 4 steps requires precision and supra level of market engineering and sales execution.

Money making is an art. Building generational wealth requires a template.

It is a science that only few have mastered.

1zynnvn:

how do I contact Mr seun

adonainana:
Starting your own business is crazy oooo, I help individuals, business and companies incorporate and register thier business online. Its been about a month now since i paid 20,000 Naira to Mr Seun Osewa Zenith Bank account to help me with my advertising credit so my advertising banner can be live on Nairaland. Have not heard Pim from the email we are meant to send our evidence of payment to.

I was also scammed by instablog9ja, i paid 50,000 Naira for a post, till today he keeps on saying he thought i wanted a instagram story as opposed to a post.

Its not easy running your own business oo like you are so much in debt already before you even begin to make any money whatsoever,
