The Marvelous Month of March!

Do you feel great about the month of March? I think it is great to have a day dedicated by the world for nations to remember the need to 'eliminate discrimination against women' in all ramifications!! March 8th, annually focuses on helping women gain full and equal participation in global development. What's your take on this, It will be great to know? I am glad that so many businesses now try to help women achieve all their God given potentials personally, and in careers/ business. Now we have opportunities to learm more financial literacy and invest our income streams into diverse financial products.

How to stick to your budget despite Valentine!

We see the signs everywhere, 'Valentine' season is in the air...a time to openly 'express love' to our 'loved ones'..... in general, with gifts and words....and have fun too! Some gifts costs a lot and some only need a bit of creativity to give the look and feel of valentine! Can we keep to a budget (planned expense) during Valentine, or are we just to allow 'impulse spending' to be at an all time high, since we are emotional beings and sometimes spending can be 'emotional' not just 'rational ' ? Food for thought....what is your take on this ?

lets talk about positioning our business brands for greater visibility in 2019 & beyond!!

In positioning our business for greater visibility in 2019 & beyond, the start of a new year is a great time to reflect on what we can all do better!! From a brand building and marketing communications perspective, we will need to think of how our business brands can help us carve a niche for us in business. Our business identity or 'business thumb print', starts with whatever image or symbol we project as our company logo!! Have we realised how customers/ clients have a 'first impression' or judge us, by the names , symbols, and logos, we use to describe and project our business? Food for though....what's your take on this? Bunmi Oke CEO/ Lead Consultant, Ladybird Ltd., ( An Advertising & Marketing Communications Company)

How do you know it’s time for a new job?

There are times you would see the huge red flags to start looking for another job. But then, how does one know the time is right for a new job? Until another opportunity present itself or when the letter of termination of appointment is received?

Pursue a career in Multi-Level Marketing (MLM)

Multi Level Marketing (MLM) Industry is a very lucrative business opportunity. To succeed as a Networker, tap from the following tips that have assisted me: 1. Develop a Good Learning and Listening Attitude which i'd call GLLA. You must learn as much as you can about your organisation, the products/services it has and the business itself. Study everything there is to know about these. Attend training. 2. Learn from successful net-workers experience. Follow local and global leaders in MLM business and learn from their skill-set. Examples are Eric Worre, Rah Higdon etc. Search for them online (Facebook) and follow their lead. 3. Recruit the right people, open-minded individuals like you who are also willing to learn and succeed. 4. Keep inviting people to your network. MLM is a game of number, the more people you talk to, the more your rate of success in this business.

Choosing A Career

How do you choose a career for yourself when you find out that you are actually good at a lot of things? I'm finding it difficult to decide on what to dive into, which is slowing me down to further my education. I studied Physics, and I recently worked as an administrator.
