Notes of a Girl Whose Dad Owns The World
Starting a small business is not a walk in the park, especially in Nigeria; a chat with any Nigerian entrepreneur will quickly reveal this. In spite of the many challenges, small businesses continue to spring up daily, and Connect Nigeria continues to support SMEs across Nigeria, recognizing the invaluable role they play in the economy.
Are you considering starting a small business? Have you identified the things that have held you back? Then ask yourself these questions.
Speaking of the side hustle phenomenon…
LAGOS, NIGERIA: I’m working on an amazing, life-changing project and I need firebrands to partner with.
If you’re open to a #sidehustle and you think we can work well together, send me an email: pinpointcreatives [at]yahoo[dot]com stating what you currently do, and what you’re passionate about.
If you live in the Lekki-Ajah area that’s a plus, as we can meet up right away.
We can talk about how lit 2018 is going to be from now till tomorrow, but talk is cheap. Unless we take deliberate steps, 2018 will not be significantly better than 2017. In fact, “Happy New Year” begins now.

We’ve heard these things so much that we’ve come to believe them and end up ruining our chances of building real, lasting love.

Nobody rides on that high permanently, so it’s a huge mistake to think that when the passion fades, you’re not in love anymore.
