I want to correct one notion everybody is supporting these days… 

 

 
A whole lot of Nigerians take it as their second belief which is bad… 
 
 
 
But as usual…
 
 
 
I will feed you my part and it’s on you to either take it seriously or not…
 
 
 
You see…
 
 
 
Some ladies put themselves into depression without being forced…
 
 
 
Because if not…
 
 
 
Why would you just assume you are in a relationship with a man without confirmation?
 
 
 
Why would you confidently sit down and start calling yourself someone’s girlfriend?
 
 
 
Wait…
 
 
 
Did he ask you out?
 
 
 
Like did he ask you to be his girlfriend?
 
 
 
Did he?
 
 
 
No…
 
 
 
So how come you assumed he’s your boyfriend?
 
 
 
You are subscribing to premium tears in something that’s not in existence…
 
 
 
And funny enough…
 
 
 
That’s how a lot of people do their businesses. 
 
 
 
They assume people want clothes which makes sense…
 
 
 
At least, everyone wears clothes (their argument)
 
 
 
But they forgot one million and one vendor is also selling clothes…
 
 
 
They forgot these people already have someone catering for these needs…
 
 
 
But as stubborn as they are…
 
 
 
They will still go ahead to start the business which is cool assuming they know what exactly they are doing…
 
 
 
But they will instead join the noise of the market and they will start claiming entrepreneurship is hard.
 
 
 
Fine, it’s not easy but can be much easier if you do the right thing at the right time.
 
 
 
See, if you are not intentional about your business…
 
 
 
You will always complain and grumble…
 
 
 
Just like some days ago…
 
 
 
I was on Twitter and I saw a story about Spanx (that female underwear brand)
 
 
 
And as the curious cat that I am…
 
 
 
I went to read more about the founder (Sara Barkley)…
 
 
 
And to my utmost surprise…
 
 
 
She owns 100% of her company…
 
 
 
  • No investor
  • No shareholder
  • Nothing. 
     
 
Just her and her alone…
 
 
 
But that’s not even what I am getting to…
 
 
 
The main point is.
 
 
 
What made her start Spanx?
 
 
 
Because she saw a huge market need and wants…
 
 
 
And she fulfilled what the market wants…
 
 
 
Now Spanx generates $400M every year…
 
 
 
Imagine…
 
 
 
Just by solving a problem for people…
 
 
 
And now, don’t get me wrong…
 
 
 
I am not asking you to start manufacturing products yourself…
 
 
 
But selling solutions to huge problems?
 
 
 
You can easily do that.
 
 
 
One other thing you need to know is that…
 
 
 
You need to keep childhood ethics and morals aside if you want to make legitimate money…
 
 
 
You want to solve problems and make money??
 
 
 
Forget about my “mummy said or my religion said” and make money, please.
 
 
 
An example of a lifelong problem is men’s libido…
 
 
 
There are plenty of them that really can’t last more than one round…
 
 
 
There are even some that their thing doesn’t get erect…
 
 
 
Or some that have low sperm count…
 
 
 
And if you see the way these people are desperately searching for solutions…
 
 
 
You will know they are ready to pay any amount which is what you want.
 
 
 
Just give them these solutions and get rich. 
 
 
 
Simple as ABC.
 
 
 
In essence…
 
 
 
Please sell the solution to problems… 
 
 
 
Stop following the herd…
 
 
 
Import reasonable things and not clothes every time…
 
 
 
Be intentional about your business.
 
 
 
And you will tell me thank you later.
 
 
 
Or not.
 
 
 
To your success,
 
 
 
Dolapo Hamzat.
