When one experiences grief, there is the tendency to succumb to deep anguish and distress or suffering. The pain eats deep and becomes a familiar cloak that tends to be a form of comfort.
Your choice of employees can determine whether your business would be successful or if it would crash. As a result, many founders and business owners are often faced with the challenge of finding the right talent for their business. Beyond that, they are also faced with the challenge of retaining these talents.
There is an organization that certifies consultants in Nigeria. I won’t mention their name since it is not an advert (if you know, you know 😜 ). But I like what they are doing. They have found a MARKET WANT and designed a VALUE PROPOSITION around that want. So they simply HARVEST PROSPECTS and TORRENT-EMAIL them to join their community. The fee is N150,000.00 (around $300). With this amount, and a workshop, you’re admitted into the credible society of consultants.
Staff Density is defined as THE NUMBER AND QUALITY OF PEOPLE YOU HAVE IN YOUR EMPLOYMENT; BOTH FULL TIME AND PART TIME. Provided you are paying these people MONTHLY WAGES, they constitute your staff density.
One of the MOST EFFICIENT decisions we made at SOBCA/BSG is to keep our density LOW. We have ALWAYS had a VERY LEAN team. Few staff who do a lot and we get the results.
According to Reed Hastings (CEO, Netflix), the larger your team gets, the harder it becomes to keep a water-tight culture.
Recently, I have been having these mental intercourses, asking myself if advertising is really as potent as it is perceived. A Lagos Food brand approached me to be their brand ambassador and I requested that they should give me a few weeks to clear my desk from some pending projects so I can give a proper response. While I was deliberating my response, I asked myself ‘does brand ambassadorship and advertising really work?’
I have designed this single 3-hour session. This is for anyone, if you want to:
1. Take your financial future into your hands.
2. Reverse the scary trend of not affording anything you want.
3. Live within the reach of what you can afford and more.
Simply put, if you want to know how money can come to you fluidly, this is a course you must not miss.
I have made it EXTREMELY AFFORDABLE especially because it is SOBCAonline 5th Anniversary season. Until August 8th, I will continue to make my fees ridiculously affordable. With only N2,500.00, you will get:
1. Access to the Live Zoom Class.
2. Free Replay of the Class (even if you won’t make the class, pay to get the replay).
3. 3 hours of engagement with me during the class.
This class is worth N250,000.00 only. You are getting it at 1% Cost (N2,500.00). Don’t disgrace your lineage by missing this class.
Last night, during the LIVE ZOOM CLASS on BUILD A BEAST, we calculated how much SOBCA makes in a year and we pegged it at an average. The resultant outcome was that IF WE CONTINUE AT THE CURRENT RATE OF GROSS INCOME IN NAIRA, IT WILL TAKE SOBCA 8,333 YEARS TO HIT “UNICORN” STATUS. 😳😳😳😳😭😭😭😭😭
Even my GreatGrandChildren to the 7th generation won’t see Unicorn at this rate. In fact, Jesus would have come back and rapture would have happened. E PAIN ME O. 💔❤️🩹💔❤️🩹

Originally titled ‘Ameno’, the song performed by E.R.A has been trending on Nigerian social media for the past 2 weeks. Clubs, artistes and social media influencers have been sampling the song.
What most people are sampling is derived from Olamide’s 2013 remix (sampling) of the original track done in 1996 (25 years ago). WoW!!! 25 years ago and a song makes a huge comeback.
This strategy in business is called SAMPLING.
In the current book I am reading “Why Startups Fail”, the Author “Tom Eisenmann”, a Harvard Professor of Entrepreneurship talks about 4 terminologies that I like and will break down for you, viz:
