Five (5) tips for Business and Entrepreneurship

There are a lot of things surrounding business and Entrepreneurship. In our last post we discussed seven Ps that had to do with business, kindly read our previous post to see all about it, Link is here: https://humteqindustries.blogspot.com/2022/10/seven-7-ps-of-business-and.html

In this post we would be sharing five tips that would help anyone in business or wants to start a business. The tips are seen everywhere and we hope you find them useful.

1) Start Small and Minimize borrowing: All this depends on the kind of business one is involved in or wants to get involved in. It is best to start with what you have and grow with it. There is a beautiful thing that happens when one watches something small grow and become big: it’s like watching a baby grow and become an adult. It is very humbling. In addition to starting small, we encourage startups or established businesses to reduce borrowing due to how uncertain times can be (Example in Nigeria, with the high rate of inflation, borrowing can be very risky. Let us say one is into flour distribution and bags of flour are bought at N20,000 per bag and one sells at N20,500. When one returns back to the manufacturers, one may discover that a bag of flour is now N20,500 or N21,000.) In this case, paying back money borrowed can be challenging and bear in mind prices are sold at a common rate; as a seller, one cannot sell higher than neighbors around them unless customers will vanish.

2) Compassion and Sentiments are different things: Compassion and Sentiment are two separate things in the world of Business. Compassion has to do with adding value and Sentiments has to do with killing business. Example of Compassion, Let us say there are relatives looking for work and they approach one to find them work, out of compassion one puts them in a starting position to train them. Example of Sentiment, let us say there are relatives looking for work and they approach you to find them work, out of sentiments (Entitlement too) one puts them in a managerial position without training them. That is a recipe for disaster.

3) Management and Money are needed: There has to be a balance between Management and Money when running an organization. There should not be a little of any one and there should not be an excess of anyone. There are businesses that have a lot of money but lack proper management and there are businesses that have good management but lack the right amount of money to get work done. Both has to balance.

4) Wisdom is needed – Strategy and others: When running a business, wisdom is needed. Wisdom includes studying the environment to know the kind of needs to address through the business. It also includes doing research, applying proper strategies to draw people and keep them as paying customers.

5) Motives Matters: Business is all about profitability; it must sow value to reap a harvest of value. It is more than money, money is part of the rewards. Other rewards includes reducing unemployment which will reduce the rate of crime and reduce the rate of insecurity in the society. The more business grows, the more these social and economic challenges are solved.

Seven (7) Ps of Business and Entrepreneurship

 

The entrepreneurship journey is one of wonders. It is like going on a tourist trip; where one experiences both good and bad but nonetheless they are interesting. A lot of us have heard of the seven (7) wonders of the world in the same way there are seven (7) Ps of business and Entrepreneurship. These include: Purpose, People, Products (or services), Profits, Plan, Process and Productivity.

Purpose: This handles the reason for venturing into the current endeavor. There has to be a strong reason why entering the business world called.

Artificial Intelligence (AI)

What is Artificial Intelligence?

Some of us have heard of Artificial Intelligence, right? To those of us who are new to the concept or term, Artificial Intelligence simply put is the process of getting machines to think or function with or near human intelligence. (Let us be honest, no matter how much a machine tries to function like a human being, it is not human and will still need a human being for some essential things like updates and replacements of parts. Even we human beings need each other to work well).

According to Britiannica, A.I is the ability of a digital computer or robot to handle tasks that are commonly handled by human beings such as reasoning, learning and others. The aim of artificial Intelligence is simply to help make life smoother and easier, in otherwords help human beings. 

What are examples of Artificial Intelligence? Some examples of artificial Intelligence we see every day are the likes of Siri in iphones and Alexa in Amazon products. These intelligent machines are able to handle certain things like answering questions in near human form, though they are constantly upgraded to be more articulate and assertive like human beings.

Alexa from Amazon

Siri from Apple

Fig 1: Examples of A.I

What are the career paths for those in A.I field? The A.I field is predicted to grow to $190 Billion by 2025, thereby creating new jobs like A.I architect, A.I Research Scientist and A.I Engineer. One could also venture into creating parts like computer chips needed for this technology to process information. The Salaries for those in this field range an average from $100,000 to $150,000 yearly. 

What are the Advantages and Disadvantages of A.I?

Advantages:

1) Reduces Human Error

2) 24/7 Availability

3) Assistance

4) Innovation

Disadvantages:

1) High cost

2) Unemployment

3) Emotionless

4) No Ethic

Entrepreneurial Education (E.E)

So you want you to be an Entrepreneur? Or Are you already an Entrepreneur? Or are you observing?

Let us start with two (2) questions (Personal questions):

1) What is Entrepreneurship? 2) Who is an Entrepreneur?

We at Humteq Industries see Entrepreneurship as Education, a transcendence or transfer of knowledge, skill and wisdom that benefits the next person and the next generation. An Entrepreneur is simply an Educator or teacher. In words of Late Dr. Myles Munore “Everything is about Management” It is easy to underrate this topic and it is also easy to overrate it. How? Simple:

Underrated view of Entrepreneurship and Entrepreneurs: “It is just buying and selling, anyone can do it”,  “It is just a small shop, how long before it grows? How does it help the economy grow?”, “Your profit is N100 only? That’s small, I want big money sharp sharp!”

Overrated view of Entrepreneurship and Entrepreneurs: “It must be nice being called a C.E.O” “You are making a lot of money” “You are so successful!”

The above all sound familiar, right? Maybe we might have said 1 or 2 of them, right? Let us outlie some balanced views of Entrepreneurship and Entrepreneurs:

·         Yes, it is buying and selling but it has more. The Entrepreneurs is business minded and system minded. How? While business involves exchange of goods or services for money, the Entrepreneur creates ways to reach more people to serve and also creates a platform or opportunity for him/her to teach and for others to learn, thereby creating a working system. This is also how a small shop can grow and help the economy grow.

·         Yes, the profit is N100 but with the law of compound effect and interest at play, collecting N100 from many people consistently can make one very rich especially when under proper management. This makes the Entrepreneur become successful and very rich! Doubt it? Ask the likes of Walmart in America and Roban Stores in Nigeria.

                                                                                                                    

·         Finally, C.E.O is more than a title or promotion or an achievement, IT IS A RESPONSIBILITY. Yes, the entrepreneur may be getting bigger pay, riding cool cars and living in big houses (this is for those that want to, there are people that like the simple life), the Entrepreneur is always going to be infront of the army to ensure that strategies are drawn and properly executed, hence the title Chief Executive Officer (C.E.O), it comes with work, sure there are perks but one needs to  work to flex your perks, lol.

So you still want to come along for the ride? Fasten your seat belt because it is going to be a cruise. The coming weeks, we are going to be sharing some tips, debunking some myths and other things that comes with entrepreneurship and entrepreneurs.
