Dear business owners, Last week, I remember telling you guys about how I didn't want to lose my steeze because I was guilty of the offense I was counseling you about. And I needed to put up a front. Really, Is that not what everybody does to maintain our steeze and composure these days? 😂 Laslas everybody go dey alright!
Earlier this week, I was just mindlessly scrolling through my contact's Whatsapp status updates and I saw a picture with a quote “Not every closed door is shut, PUSH!” I paused and reflected on it for a few minutes. Then, I came to the conclusion that many of us give up too easily. No grit, no tenacity, nothing! Myself inclusive. See ehn, This business journey is not for the faint hearted. Let's learn to push ourselves a little more. Give it one more trial before quitting. You need to learn to maintain your steeze and composure at all times. Let me stop here for now. Can anyone guess where I'm writing from?
