To Succeed, You Need a Gut-Level Instinct for Self-Preservation
I once had someone phone me up (in 2002, my first year in business), requesting that I come down to Falomo on Victoria Island from my Gbagada base, in Lagos (more than 30 minute drive on a good day) saying my services were needed. I got there to find that I was only being mocked! […]

[NB: Names used in the following narrative are NOT real] The Admin Manager in a medium sized company gets an ultimatum to resolve a recurring office photocopier fault. This fault has made it necessary to visit business centres to duplicate sensitive documents at higher costs. Different "trained" service engineers brought in previously had been unable […]

Yesterday (6th July 2014) was my 44th birthday. While reflecting, this quote awoke memories in me: “When man is pushed, tormented, defeated, he has a chance to learn something; he has been put on his wits, on his manhood, he has gained facts, learns from his ignorance, is cured of the insanity of conceit; has […]

I believe, from over 2 decades of observation/experience, that one major mistake being made by conventional farm support specialists is that they focus mainly – sometimes exclusively – on farm related issues, in serving farm business owners. This can be self-defeating, because other aspects of the farm owner’s life can – and do! – interfere […]

I don’t know about you. But in my part of the world, finding people willing to speak truth regardless of whose Ox is gored, is more difficult these days. Too many “good” people today do not want “trouble”. So, even when they see/hear outright evil being done to others, they keep quiet, and look the […]

Some CEOs, top managers or executives get so busy they suffer exhaustion. I make no claims to being perfect, but NO JOB I’ve done in paid employment, or as an entrepreneur, has EVER overwhelmed me. Indeed, despite being often accused of doing too many things, I – very frequently – get it ALL done on […]

A client once said to me (not exact words): “Tayo, over-invoicing will not reduce the money you make from a project. The person who requests that you inflate your invoice amount over your actual fee, simply wants a piece of the action. When payment is approved by the company, you still get paid what you […]
