Profit isn't a dirty word. It's the applause you get for a job well done in business. At its core, profit is the lifeblood of business. It's what keeps companies not just surviving, but truly thriving. So, why exactly is profit so imperative? Picture this: you're at the helm of an ambitious, rapidly growing business. You've got ideas, vision, the works. But without the backup of solid profitability, that growth remains a distant dream. Profit is your opportunity for expansion. Secondly, consider the rough seas of the business world. Profit is your lifeboat. In times of turbulence, it provides stability, ensuring survival where others without it might sink. Finally, profit is your victory flag. It's the most tangible measure of success, signalling effective operations and sharp business acumen. So, let's change the conversation around profit. It's not just numbers. It's resilience, innovation, success. The next time someone questions profit, remember this: it's not just about the figures. It's the standing ovation to your businesses performance ??

If you’re gonna bust open a door with your shoulder, you back up first and get a running start. Somebody who doesn’t realize what you’re doing will judge you for going backwards for no reason. This is a metaphor for launching your business and the importance of investing in yourself.

MANAGING A BUSINESS Look at the bees. There are10 rolls for bees in a hive. Everyone is important and has a job to do. If one group fails, the whole hive is in jeopardy. Business is the same. Every employee is important and has a job to do. A car without tires isn't going anywhere. Model your business-like a hive. Your biggest asset is your people. Value them and they will take care of you.

Day 6 of 30 DAYS INSIGHTS FOR BUSINESS SUCCESS In July 2021 I closed down my grocery shop, sold off all good. I invested the money in another business venture: distributorship of Friska baby cereal(a new baby food that had just come into the market at that time) Let's just say that wasn't s very good move. § Embarrassment about failure and mistakes has no place in business, where the bottom line always speaks the truth. If you do not own up to your mistakes and become cognizant of them, your entire enterprise will suffer as a result. Keep this in mind: "any business that is NOT on top of correcting mistakes made will soon have to deal with large-scale failure." After my attempt at distributorship failed. I got up, dusted my bum and went into another business. Ohakah Okechukwu Eke MNIM

Your business brain still thinks like a caveman. That's actually a good thing. Here's what I learned about decision-making after winning ALONE in the Canadian wilderness: Survival instincts aren't outdated. They're as relevant as ever. In the wild: ? Every decision = calories spent vs calories gained ? Calories are the money of Nature ? Mistakes can be fatal Sound familiar? That's because modern business runs on the same ancient code… 1. Resource Management Wild: Can I amass enough calories to survive the winter months? Business: Do I have enough of a runway to spend on this project? 2. Survival Priorities? Wild: Shelter, water, fire, food Business: Cashflow, customer, team, strategy 3. Gut Instinct Wild: Something feels wrong about this cave Business: Something feels off about this deal 4. Preparation for the uncertain Wild: I might get a storm for the next 7 days Business: What's our strategy for a black swan event? Your primitive brain isn't your weakness. It's your early warning system. Your built-in risk calculator. Your survival advantage. Don’t fight it. Listen to it. Because in business, like in survival: The ones who thrive aren't the strongest. They're the ones who read the situation best. Thank you for your time, now I must be off to trust my gut about a new venture.
