The 21st Century Business

The 21st Century Business

By Akpobome Ejiro

Business has become more of a routine than an evolving reality. This has created more failed businesses than successful ones. Thinking about the rate of social changes in relation to technology, taste, location etc. entrepreneurs has found it more challenging to keep up. However business is not about the work rather the system. It should be designed for self sustainability. My goal is simply to create sustainability in businesses and creating values that has the capacity to grow, expand and remain innovative to meet the need of any generation.

Company Culture

Company Culture

The culture of any business should be leveraged on community not just internal values or ethics. At the end of the day, business is about people and people exist within a society, likewise your business. There must be a sync that connects people and your brand in the society rather than just being another foreigner doing business in isolation.

COMMON SENSE VS CRITICAL THINKING

Broadcasting Your Ideal

Broadcasting Your Ideal

Being misunderstood is very easy because we all have different perception. But for the aid of communication, we have been able to tell people who we are and how we like to be referred to or related with. In the same vein, our business can only be spoken of or related with as much as we have presented it or told it to other for the sake of clarity and improved business operations. This there for implies that; it is the stories you tell people hear and it is what they hear they echo and it is what they echo that others act on to define your brand which eventually determines your overall performance.

THERE IS NO COMPETITION

THERE IS NO COMPETITION

Business or entrepreneurship is not for showoff. It is work. If you are not ready…KEEP OFF

Narrowing this down to decision makers like CEOs, Founders, Managers, it takes a high level of self awareness and in depth knowledge of what it takes to steer the wheels of a company not to be tossed by every market wave. It requires patience and critical thinking and analysis to achieve this.

What you consider as a competition should be a challenge and it is not supposed to be external rather internal to your company. So the next door company or foreign companies is not your concern and should never be your concern. Rather what you should focus on is building capacity such that your product competes with itself, your management competes with itself.

The Lies of Design

The Lies of Design

If design was the ideal for brand sustainability or a measure for brand loyalty as most startups and entrepreneurs feel when they invest in design then we should not have a problem with customer acquisition and retention. The most beautiful design does not guarantee loyalty.

People by nature are explorers or adventurous and this is why we always seek new things, go to new places, try new food, meet new people, create new experiences among a whole lot of other things we engage in daily.

Letter to Entrepreneurs

Letter to Entrepreneurs

The fact that we have been taught about option A and B or contingency planning, we approach business like its a lottery. In entrepreneurship there is no lottery, you just have to be all in or all out. This is not a seasonal business call to make money based on an ongoing trend. We create the trend, we control the trend, we innovate the trend, we keep the trend trending through dynamics. I have a disposition of approaching entrepreneurship being a career as the last option. There will be no other time, no other business, no other entrepreneur can deliver this value like you. It has to be you. You have to be the choice. Until you get to the point that this entrepreneurship endeavor you are into is your last option, then and only then you will give it what it needs to survive.

Q. Would you let it die or would you rather preserve it?  Remember that every brand is a life. As it starts, it is a baby, how would you take care of a child until that child gains independence and can be responsible for his/herself without you?

Choosing your Community

Choosing your Community

Many entrepreneurs and business persons focus on online and 21st century trend to cheat themselves of the benefit of your local environment. Have you ever wondered why google map will always say local businesses near you? Your community is in 3 stages; Understanding each phase per time in relation to change and being dynamic as well as innovative, you stand a better chance of being sustainable. The concept of community starts from your local circle.

SUSTAINABILITY & COMMUNITY

SUSTAINABILITY & COMMUNITY

Most businesses that struggle to maintain relevance often lack the concept of community. You cannot separate community from business sustainability. There has to be the community that have the sense of ownership in your business. Business is not about the “how do I grow this business” rather it’s “how do we grow this business”. You business cannot outlive you without the people to tell the story. If people must tell the story, they must be in a community and if they have to tell it, they own must own it.

Dealing With Sole Proprietorship Syndrome

Dealing With Sole Proprietorship Syndrome

The concept of sole proprietorship has made a large number of businesses fail. How is it possible that you make yourself everything and still want maximum output? You should be aware that business is people not individual. This is not about clients but about system. This is why so many people start off their entrepreneur journey but never get to experience a break open rather the jump from one business to another. Sincerely, Every business has the capacity to grow and expand. Sole proprietorship is not just a title or office, it is a terrible mindset that places your business behind you and make you function in the fear of the unknown which defeats the natural disposition of being an entrepreneur. So failure is inevitable. Listen to what I have to say about overcoming this challenge.

The right questions in business

The right questions in business

Acting on assumptions in business is a self made risk. Questions are made to guide our decisions. Every question has an answer. But not every question is the right question. The right question is determined by its relevance to the present situation and how it can cause an improvement in your business.
