THE DNA OF AN ENTREPRENEUR

-


Often times we have been deceived about the reality of being an entrepreneur. I have viewed it as an easy life and a life everyone should envy and this probably is because of the beauty that has been showcased on the internet over time.

 I never imagined that being an entrepreneur was such a difficult thing. Yes You read correctly, its difficult. The things social media has painted easy and so simple is fallacy. This thing called ''Entrepreneurship'' is really hard. 

There are so many sleepless nights, head-aching thoughts, mind drifting moments, uncountable paper works (This is where you need TAK), endless strategizing and most of all ''the fear of failure''.

 I recently ventured into a virtual business and it's been HELL (for lack of a better word) for me. I have some times gone insane when my ideas are not well represented and I took a moment down memory lane when I used to think that being an entrepreneur was so easy and all I needed to do was just to get it done and make noise on social media. 

When the reality hit me, I imagined the thousands of persons who had thought like me and lazily went about their ideas with a pinch of salt.

I have a 9-5 (job) and combining it with the many things I do which are more of intellectual is far from easy. I have had people ask me how I'm able to joggle it and I'm still aloof as to how I do it. 

In all these I wont fail to tell y'all how it's really challenging and for those that wish to become entrepreneurs, you should know the following:
  • Being an entrepreneur does not mean you are automatically rich. It would take a while before you break even in the market.
  • You will have so many sleepless nights
  • You will have to think outside the box and make good use of your IP (Intellectual Property)
  • Being an entrepreneur requires focus and discipline.
  • Your life is automatically guided and driven by the needs of your business and not pleasure anymore
  •  You will get broke at some point cause you will have to invest in your business.
  •  Time becomes of high value to you. You'll barely have time to relax. 
All these are just at the nurturing part of your business which varies for some people.When your business kicks up, then you can enjoy all you've lost.
 Therefore, bearing this in mind, I'm hoping you buckle your seat belts and get ready to work hard.

5 Ways To Get Out Of A BAD Mood

-
Image
We sometimes get into a really bad mood either after having a conversation that didn’t end well, a work meeting that ended on a sour note, a bad hair or dress day or even having a bad mood that you have no clue at the moment as to why you feel so moody or sad.  These feelings can longer and end up ruining the whole day and disrupting a great opportunity for us to live this wonderful life. After the words “Once today goes by, you can NEVER get it back” sank deep into my consciousness and even my sub-consciousness, I take the most of each day and try to enjoy this life.  So here are my 5 ways to snap out  of a bad mode quickly.  1) Acknowledge the reason that put you in a bad mood. Now this is not the time to address it. It’s just for you to recognize that you are in a bad mood and what is causing it.  2) Change environment. Stepping away from the surrounding or change of scenery is the next best step to take if you want to get out of a bad mood. Remaining at the same place can cause you

The War Within

The brown rusty leaves rolled over her legs as she sat helpless on the grass. The park was sparsely populated which made it very easy to stay unnoticed. Lifting her head, struggling to see through the heavy clog of tears welling up in her eyes. The day was getting dark, darkness has become her place of solace. She kept a steady gaze at the kids running freely, playing catch while she battled with the decision of either staying back or going home. Home? That house didn’t feel like home and it hasn’t felt like home in a long while. The mind drifted to when she was a child with little or nothing contending for space or attention in her head except for love and the ‘’can do spirit’’, which spurred her to fly without wings and run without shoes to distances that were unimaginable. She lived as free as the wind and that was the bliss of childhood which she fought to get rid of and step into adult shoes. Since stepping into those overly talked about shoes, its been filled with

THE UNKNOWN CALL

-

I twisted to critically appraise my curves in the tall glass one last time. I had not watched television or gone on a proper date for over three months, not since work had become so demanding. Part of me still aggrandized the image of lying in bed, snacking on a good pan pizza and finally sleeping off on some random Netflix movies. I twitched the pleat on the skirt and adjusted the waist line. Needless to say, I looked good and the mental picture stuck. The buzzing of my phone interrupted my thoughts. My mind quickly raced to my date. His surname was yet to stick and so was my need to get seriously involved with another man. The caller was unknown and on sliding the green icon on the screen, his voice came live. ‘’Miss jones’’? Yes, speaking” ‘’I’m guessing you know miss Edith Uwaoma’’? Yes, I do, but who is on the line’’? The voice on the other end of the line was far from familiar. He said evasively, ‘’Please make your way to the hosp
