Last year I bought this book published by Harvard Business Review. It has a lot of positive reviews and well recommended by many people for business (would be) owners. The idea the book is based on is that to beat your competition you have to make them irrelevant, you have to expand your product offerings to uncontested markets. This, they called blue ocean.

image: proflyboard.com Oftentimes, a winning idea is not a new idea; it is the combination of several old ideas in a new way. And that is the way I view things. I am always trying out new things even when I don't see what the likely end will be; my mindset is one of expanding my mind and detecting winning combinations of ordinary ideas. That is why if you read my blog posts, you ...
image: themanufacturer.com On TV, on radio and on newspapers, I keep hearing people say the increased dollar rate and oil price slump will help us develop our manufacturing industry and export more. This is not true on a national basis. If you have a Cocoa plantation, it will be true for you. If you already manufacture something exportable and already have the resources and experience, ...
When you stop chasing the wrong things, you give the right things a chance to catch you. It is not that we don't do enough good things, it is the bad things that draw us back. And we do more bad things than we readily accept. I suspect it's because we think in absolute bad and absolute good. We consider our actions in isolation, detached from circumstances around them. A ...

image: fontsinuse.com I've got an interesting theory. No, it's not about Dasuki and the $2 billion. No, it's not about Buhari and PDP. No, it's not about CBN and the dollar rate. In fact, it's not about anything you would you expect. My interesting theory has its roots in heartbreaks. It is the cause of most heartbreaks. It is why we love and are not loved ...
People win lottery of huge amount of money. People inherit wealth. People hit jackpots and get wealthy in an instant. But I have never heard of anyone suddenly acquire knowledge in an instant. No one has suddenly become a doctor in a lottery fashion. No one has become a successful business manager in an instant by inheritance. When you think about it, money is way much easier to acquire ...
