Cherish The Vision

Not everyone believes in your vision so lets not be deceived.
The same applies in your personal life and business.

I recall clearly the first time I tried to resign from my bank job 4 years ago.
My dad just could not wrap his head around it. So after  a very lengthy and unfruitful discussion, he got my dear Uncle B to talk some sense into me.

Anyway, I did not leave then because my dear boss - Aunty T convinced me to stay a little while after laying out a practical savings and business plan.

Recently, someone I respect a lot expressed his discomfort with my job. He just did not how I was coping as a Travel Consultant with all the abnormal Forex fluctuations. I was totally caught off guard, so I listened to his concerns. In the end, it would have been better if he asked me of my plans than to have concluded.

When you are unsure of a matter, ask questions. Seek clarity, keep your judgments at bay.

It is important to do what you love, especially when you are hitting your forties. And I love what I do. This translates to passion. I see opportunities in my business and that gives me room to continually innovate.

Having weighed all risks involved in my line of work, I have developed a series of business models that include reducing credit risks to people and corporations and innovating towards capturing the mass retail. Pardon my big grammar, what I mean is, if more people patronize my services, I can make more money from the 10 kobos.

So all I have to do is find out ways to make more people make their travel bookings themselves.
You see, it is impossible for everyone to share your vision.

Your staff will complain and cut corners but remember, only you are the custodian of your dreams and visions. The best you can do is share them.

You can only grow as far as your eyes can see.

If Judas could not catch the vision as communicated by Jesus, then why get upset?
For every 12, there will always be a Judas.

The onus is on you to set goals and ground rules. Then sanction staff that break those rules.
Maintain efficiency levels at all times and communicate the vision as often as possible and as clear as possible - always.

And, keep dreaming.
Never stop dreaming.
Your growth is dependent on how far you dream.

As far as your eyes can see...

Mr David Chiaka

Nigerians are not fantastically corrupt

Permit me to recall this phrase by the deposed PM David Cameron of Britain which I think Mr President- Buhari should not have accepted.

It just dawned on me that this year 2016, I met with only 15% of my clientele to consummate actual financial transactions.

If you understand the travel business, you will know that each transaction culminates to hundreds of thousands, if not millions.

Now, do you know what it means to speak with clients in Owerri, Abuja, Kaduna, Lagos, PortHarcourt, USA, Canada, Nairobi et al and receive funds from them (without physical contact)?

That is trust.

Some did lament about cases of fraud but that was just 0.5 out of 100.

My point is this, do not be deceived by the crowd of Politicians that loot the common wealth of Nigerians.

Of course you have to be careful when doing business in Nigeria. But above all, we are not all corrupt. Many of us are dependable.

I have never been a beneficiary of "money miss road" or free money.
I have earned every penny I make.
So I avoid money doubling schemes that defy common sense/financial logic.

In all, Nigerians are relentless (I know, I am). And we still trust each other to commit funds to people with whom we do not even know how they look like.

So do not be afraid of Nigeria or Nigerians.

We truly are good people, in a great nation.
