1 of 2: PUBLIC SPEAKING – Post Employment Survival Strategies & Biz Startup Ideas [Hint: Signup for my Confidential Business Startup Ideas Support Service]
Tough economic times, fewer jobs for those seeking, and more job losses looming on the horizon for people in industries we once thought to offer job security, ALL combine to make the message in this issue of my newsletter most relevant and compelling!
You will want to read this write-up if you are:
a. preparing for retirement
b. an organizational decision maker who prepares employees for retirement
[Read also: Why Company Retirement Courses Rarely Work]
c. planning to start a business part-time, while remaining in paid employment
d. planning to quit your job to start/run your own business full time
[Read also:How to Use Your Job to Prepare for Retirement (6 Tips)]
Many people spend a substantial part of their lives working for their employer without giving thought to the day they will have to leave – often by way of retirement. There are of course those who resign to start their own businesses.
And…there is that not so lucky group who get asked to leave 
The question is how prepared WILL the people who fall into the above categories BE, for the real world of their societies when they find themselves in it?
For many who have made that transition out here, in Nigeria, the experiences were often traumatizing.
The truth is that in Nigeria, going from salary to self-employment is NOTHING like what obtains in America, or other developed societies! There are NO social security safety nets. Few “protection” bodies exist that diligently help those who get “knocked” down unfairly as often happens out here.
Which is why having access to INFORMATION and EDUCATION from a credible and reliable source about what lies ahead, and how to proceed – by way of special reports, feasibility studies and even non-formal background checks/investigations, can be something of a God-send.
I nurse a special interest in this group of people and offer a customized range of products/services designed to help them prepare for that inevitable exit from paid employment.
No matter what anyone says, my experiences have taught me that apart from being COMPETENT, there is a serious need to develop the proper mind set needed for adapting to life without “steady salaried income”, as well as the need to “control bad/unhealthy spending habits” among a lot of other issues.
Most importantly, taking the decision about WHAT to do after you leave your job – and how to prepare for it, so as to increase your chances of success, is a major task to be given quality attention.
Read my article: Even When Competent, You CAN STILL Fail: 3 Abilities You MUST Develop To Protect Yourself!
You need information – the RIGHT information.
Unbiased, down to earth, factual, and experience based observations (and up-to-date data) from someone who has been on the streets.
I offer unique insights especially relevant and applicable in the African market, but also adaptable for use elsewhere.
Many times what you read in papers and hear on radio/TV, especially about what business is good to venture into, is NOT so accurate.
Why not minimize the risks you expose yourself to? And the pain that frequently accompanies resultant losses?
You can do that by signing up for my confidential service in which I help you do all the ground work – moving around the right places and people, to gather information, insights, data etc into reports and feasibility studies/business plans/reports or white papers you can use to make intelligent decisions?
The best part is that the required investment for this service entitles you to 25% discount – ALL my products/services (Custom Spreadsheet Software development, Web Marketing Systems Development,, Best Practice Farm Business Solutions, Freelance Article and Book Ghost-Writing/Publishing etc) which are designed to support business owners.
How to Get Started With My “Confidential Business Startup Ideas Support Service“
I’ve seen and heard of too many people getting duped by quack farm business “experts”. That’s why I am on a mission to support competent farm business experts to provide startup and business management support to those looking to emulate them.
But I realize not everyone will want to go into farming, and since I serve clients in other markets as well, thereby earning income doing so, it goes without saying that THIS confidential service is also open to persons who need it to pursue business interest in other areas.

Are You a Decision Maker Or Meeting Planner? Invite Me To Speak To Your Prospective Retirees
Many responsible companies organize “Pre-Retirement Seminars” for their outgoing employees.
I think it’s a great thing.
However, I have – in a past life – functioned as Training & Technical Development Manager in a large multinational manufacturer. Looking back, I honestly believe – going by my subsequent experiences over the past 10 years as an entrepreneur – that most of those events rarely offer THE REAL-WORLD RELEVANT information or education, that is badly needed by these people.
That’s why I now offer to give specially developed talks and seminars for employees of interested companies. If you are a decision maker, please consider engaging my services.
Your prospective retirees WILL thank you.

=========Below, are 3 examples of ways in which I already add value to business owners and those aspiring – PROOF that I am uniquely positioned to help you intelligently investigate your options towards choosing the right business======
Example 1: Book Cover Announcement of Hope Agwulonu’s Quick Start Guide to Catfish Farm Business Which Was Published Via My Book Ghost-Writing Print On Demand Publishing Service a few days ago.
This new publication is the product of my efforts to help Farm CEOs produce quality information products for use by aspiring farm business owners – especially those leaving paid employment, and looking to invest their life savings in worthwhile ventures.

Example 2: My CEO Spotlight Interview (CSI) Series periodically features real life Farm CEOs with unique experience based insights
My CSI series is a public service to give CEOs, & those aspiring, ready-to-use experience-based information & education. The purpose is to promote experience-sharing amongst CEOs, about Indigenous Knowledge Systems.
Indigenous Knowledge Systems (IKS) are tried and tested practical techniques/methods developed by active players in a venture to get improved results, often through application of creativity and innovation.
The first farm CEO to feature on it was Roseline Imoudu – a retired senior manager from a popular multinational, now – owner of a Recirculating Aquaculture System (aka RAS) based Seed Catfish Production Farm Business in Nigeria’s Ibadan. Click here to download the PDF interview transcript and/or watch the video version…
NB: I continue to research and connect with other farm CEOs that I consider potential candidates for the CSI series.
PS: The original version of this write-up (which I’ve revised/updated here) was first published online on Tue 6/14/2011 1:36 PM via spontaneousdevelopment.com (my former 9 year old domain – which is now defunct).

Politics! [FREE MP3 DOWNLOAD]
“If you want to achieve sustainable success in business (especially in a volatile market place like Nigeria), it’s in your best interest to develop interest in current affairs and politics, because those are the two key ingredients that really keep this country from having a stable sociopolitical climate.
And for as long as that stable sociopolitical climate does not exist, every person running a business will probably have to sleep with one eye open.” – Tayo K.

Question: But who is Burt Dubin, and why do I (Tayo K. Solagbade) think you should you learn from
him?
Answer: Burt is a 3 decade veteran in the professional speaking business. After achieving top level cross continental success as an
expert-speaker, he has established a reputation for mentoring some of the highest paid speakers in the world. He owns SpeakingBizSuccess.com, SpeakingSuccess.com and BurtDubin.com.
Burt helps those he mentors (experts-who-speak) to Position, Package, Promote, and Present* themselves successfully to clients (*He calls
them the 4Ps). That’s why it’s no surprise that on Burt’s website, considerable space capital is devoted to useful business marketing articles as well as products.
It might also interest you to know that MANY years back, Burt established himself as one of the best marketing minds in the world. To really put this FACT in
proper perspective, I’ll provide more specific details in form of an example.
A few years ago, Burt contributed an article to a powerful publication titled “The Most Effective Articles Ever – By The World’s Top Marketers“. That 574 page ebook features timeless marketing advice from 71 of the world’s top marketers – including Jack
Trout, Joe Vitale, Yanik Silver…and Burt Dubin.
That’s ample proof that (in addition to Public Speaking), Burt would be a great resource to learn business marketing from!
Click here to read TONS of Burt’s useful articles on professional public speaking and business marketing.
While there, be sure to download his audio experiences (MP3) on the right. Most importantly, take a few moments to use the link provided on the top right, below the banner, to send Burt a message, about your needs and interest in his mentoring solutions.
Full Disclosure: I represent Burt as Sole Agent for his products/services, which means if YOU buy from him, I get paid.
But that’s NOT the main reason I represent and recommend him. I have benefited in many ways by learning from Burt. Through his writing, his audio recordings,
and from directly relating with him.
Before we teamed up in 2011, I’d been studying his work and adapting it to succeed in my work from way back in 2002. It does not matter what part of the world
you’re in. If you know how to adapt them to suit your peculiar local needs, Burt’s ideas and strategies WILL work for you. I am living proof of it!
That’s why I never tire of CONFIDENTLY recommending him to others.
If you need help putting the ideas shared above to use, let me know HERE.
