Transcript
- 0:01Today on the podcast, we're going to look at when to start
- 0:04targeting American based and UK based customers.
- 0:08That's for those of you who are web developers.
- 0:11Again, for those of you who are web developers, you want to make
- 0:14an extra buck, you want to take advantage of dollars, pounds,
- 0:18euro instead of charging in naira.
- 0:21Today we're going to look at when to start targeting US based
- 0:25customers, UK based customers. Hello and welcome to the
- 0:29podcast. My name is Tava Shima IED.
- 0:32I'm the host and I am making today's recording out and about.
- 0:36I'm at a non disclosed location, but yes, I'm in the car.
- 0:39So expect to hear some noise in the background, you know, people
- 0:42gossiping, people walking past, you know, things like that.
- 0:44You might hear some chickens because you know, I'm in central
- 0:47area and nowadays we have chickens and cows running all
- 0:49over the place. Now the goal of this podcast is
- 0:52not to tell you how cows and chickens have overrun Abuja, but
- 0:56rather we're here to talk about all things business related.
- 0:59How do we solve business problems?
- 1:01How do we attract customers? How do we look for good clients,
- 1:05those sorts of things. So if that is your jam, then
- 1:09subscribe on Spotify, YouTube, Apple or any player of your
- 1:13choice. And if you'd love to connect,
- 1:14then you can call, send me a text message or a WhatsApp
- 1:18message on the 08064662140. So like I said, to know on the
- 1:25podcast when to start targeting US based customers, UK based
- 1:30customers, especially for those of you who are web developers.
- 1:33Now, the background for this is I was having a conversation
- 1:37recently with someone who is a front and back end developer.
- 1:42Now, for those of you who've been listening to the podcast
- 1:43for a while, you know that I hate that term.
- 1:45And this is the reason why lots of us say stuff that make us
- 1:49sound fancy and make us sound sophisticated.
- 1:53But from a sales and business development perspective, if you
- 1:56are using jargon when you're talking to customers, then you
- 1:58are limiting and hindering your ability to communicate.
- 2:02And let's face it, for those of you who are web developers,
- 2:05let's be real, let's be real here.
- 2:07How many of our potential customers know what front and
- 2:10back end developer means now? I know what that means now
- 2:16because I tackled somebody about this because, you know, people
- 2:19listen to the podcast, people like the podcast, people reach
- 2:22out to me for business device. And one day I just had to ask
- 2:25someone that look, guy, this front end, back end, like what
- 2:28the hell does this thing mean? And by the time the guy
- 2:31describes it, I was like, oh, so you design websites and you
- 2:35design apps. In other words, my mom said I
- 2:38starting a charity and she needs a website for the charity.
- 2:43That's something you can do, Yes.
- 2:44OK, me then, I'm a business person.
- 2:48I don't have a website, I don't have an app.
- 2:50I might be considering those things one day.
- 2:52So that is something you can do. The guy said yes.
- 2:55I gave like 3 or 4 examples. The guy said yes and I said how
- 3:00do you really realistically think that by going around
- 3:03calling yourself a front end back end developer?
- 3:06How do you think my mom, she's supposed to know that you that
- 3:09you can do this thing for her? How am I supposed to know that
- 3:12you can do this thing for me? When customers are looking for
- 3:16you online, how many of them do you think are typing front and
- 3:18back end developer in Google when they're looking for you?
- 3:22Don't you think somebody will just type in make our website in
- 3:26Abuja or website developer in Abuja?
- 3:31But anyway, you guys don't seem to be getting the message.
- 3:33So no problem. Go around, continue calling
- 3:35yourself front and back end developer.
- 3:38But for the rest of us listening to the podcast who are not in
- 3:40this space, just know that it doesn't help when you go around
- 3:44using all kinds of jargon that your potential customers do not
- 3:47understand. So if you're selling to people
- 3:51in a highly technical who are technically minded or if you're
- 3:56selling to in house people, then yeah, sure, use all the terms
- 3:59that you want, right? So if you are a front end back
- 4:05end developer and you're trying to sell your services to other
- 4:09front end back end developers, then yes, go ahead and go ahead
- 4:14and put all the technical whatever front end back end
- 4:16developer, JavaScript certified this da, da, da, da, you know,
- 4:20pour everything, no problem. You guys understand yourself,
- 4:24but the moment you want to turn around, I want to sell to the
- 4:28average everyday. Somebody use words that they
- 4:30understand, use words that people will search for, which is
- 4:34precisely the reason why my podcast is called Sales for the
- 4:38Nigerian business person. Because I know that if somebody
- 4:42is looking for a podcast in Spotify, they are not going to
- 4:46go and type business development.
- 4:49They won't. I know they will type in sales,
- 4:52I know they will type in marketing, I know they will type
- 4:55in Nigerian. That is the reason why I gave my
- 4:59podcast the most boring title ever, precisely so that if
- 5:03somebody searches for it, they would find it.
- 5:06And that's the reason why they find me.
- 5:07So take a cue from that please. When you're talking to potential
- 5:11customers, no matter how sweet the jargon you know sounds, when
- 5:19you are customer facing, please dial back on the jargon.
- 5:23When you're now talking to people in house, you can now use
- 5:26the jargon because I can go, I can go around calling myself a
- 5:29conversion rate optimization specialist.
- 5:33I can say that. And technically speaking, I'm
- 5:36correct to say I'm a convention conversion rate optimization
- 5:40specialist. But when I'm talking to people
- 5:44in the streets, well, I'm trying to get business for people and I
- 5:47go around calling myself a conversion rate optimization
- 5:51specialist. How many people know I will say
- 5:54it. And the Irish Nigerian doesn't
- 5:56want to be rude or betrayed the ignorance.
- 5:58So they'll say, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, sounds interesting.
- 6:00Sounds interesting. Meanwhile, the guy doesn't know
- 6:02gang. He doesn't know what I just
- 6:03said. And I could be talking to
- 6:05someone who might need my services because they have a
- 6:10sales funnel, they have a sales process.
- 6:12Things ain't popping off, right? They're not getting customers.
- 6:14People are not converting. He could be my customer, but I'm
- 6:19using words that he doesn't understand.
- 6:21So that is precisely the reason why I don't go around calling
- 6:24myself a conversion rate optimization specialist, even
- 6:28though that's what I do. I just use terms.
- 6:30I use words that everybody knows.
- 6:33I say sales and I say marketing. I say, is your sales not
- 6:37working? Is your marketing not working?
- 6:39Do you have problems with your side hustles?
- 6:41I use words and I use terms that everybody knows.
- 6:45So do the same thing in your business.
- 6:47Now I know it doesn't look good on LinkedIn, but then one front
- 6:53and back end developer sent me a message.
- 6:55I finished one of the podcasts and he told me that the reason
- 6:57why lots of you do that is precisely because you're trying
- 6:59to market your skills in house. So for those of you who are
- 7:02marketing in house, sure, no problem.
- 7:04But for the rest of you who are looking for regular customers,
- 7:07if I I think especially if you're going to be looking for
- 7:10UK based customer, US based customers, because let's be
- 7:13honest, then yeah, it's the West.
- 7:16But honestly, we in Nigeria, we know book more than them, right?
- 7:21It's a deadly little secret. But you know, for those who also
- 7:24had lived and worked abroad, go go and ask us.
- 7:27Honestly speaking, we know book pass them.
- 7:29So if it's going to be confusing for a Nigerian audience, I can
- 7:33assure you it's going to be even more confusing for auk based and
- 7:37US based audience. So please use words, ignore
- 7:40jargon, use words that your potential customers will
- 7:43understand and ignore jargon except if you're making a
- 7:46technical sale. All right, sorry, forgive me for
- 7:49that rant because it's just something that's on my chest.
- 7:51And of course, this community, they never fail.
- 7:54Every day I will see front end, back end web developer, UX,
- 7:59Linux certified Python code developer, Panda 6 point O
- 8:03something something, something ISCJBL Google certified as new.
- 8:08Just be pointing everything and you think your customer
- 8:11understands knows what that means.
- 8:14Anyway, I was like, so I was talking to a front end, back end
- 8:20developer and then the guy is looking for ways to better his
- 8:24business. So this strategy that the guy
- 8:26came up with, the guy said how far?
- 8:27What do you think? How about I target these
- 8:29foreigners now instead of charging in there because now no
- 8:32make sense. By the way, I agree with him now
- 8:34no make sense at all. You know, I used to be patriotic
- 8:37on this matter and everything until one day I was talking to
- 8:41someone who was the BP or I think business, business
- 8:47provider, something any of these people in Nigeria who what they
- 8:49do is they aggregate talent and then sell those services abroad.
- 8:54It's sort of a way of offshoring work, busy offshoring.
- 8:59Yeah, I think that's what is called the offshoring.
- 9:03And they basically there are companies in America that need
- 9:05services like the services of a web developers and you know,
- 9:08stuff like that. So this guy's business, the is
- 9:11it BPO or something like that? I can't remember the acronym.
- 9:14What they do is they vet that kind of talent here in Nigeria.
- 9:18Then those kind of people are there are the workforce, then
- 9:24they sell the services, they get the work from abroad and then
- 9:27the people here in Nigeria execute basically this sort of
- 9:31thing that this guy wants to do, this front end and back end
- 9:34developer, what he wants to do is sorry, what he wants to do.
- 9:37But these people, they do it on, on an agency, on agency level.
- 9:42So one day we're just talking now the guy said about how like
- 9:45he was collecting, was it like $7000?
- 9:49And then for each person that he pays in Nigeria, he pays the
- 9:56person now $500 every month. And in my mind, I was going to
- 10:00say $500 a year criminal. But then by the time I did the
- 10:03calculation at the extra of the exchange rate at that time, I
- 10:07don't know what it is now. At that time, the exchange rate
- 10:09was I think was close like 700 K that he was paying his Nigerian
- 10:14people. And it's like, oh, OK, you know
- 10:16what? That thing actually makes a lot
- 10:17of sense. You collect several $1000 from
- 10:21the American based company. You find talent here in Nigeria
- 10:25and then you're paying them $500 per month.
- 10:30That comes up to 700K per month. And those people are actually
- 10:34very, very happy to be collecting $500 because $500
- 10:38equals to 700K. So I understand the whole
- 10:41mathematics. Naira no make sense.
- 10:43Dollars makes a lot of sense. So this front end and back end
- 10:49web developer is looking for ways to target foreigners.
- 10:54Take advantage of dollar, take advantage of euro, take
- 10:58advantage of hard currency, creepsy currency to make your
- 11:01life better. So I wanted to know what I
- 11:05thought and this was my advice to him.
- 11:07We exchanged a couple of messages and if I read all the
- 11:10back and forth, I'll bore you. So let me just summarize and
- 11:13this is what I told my guy. I told him, look, focus on the
- 11:17Nigerian market first. Some of you be wondering, did
- 11:23you just see what I thought you said and I'll repeat it, You
- 11:26heard me correctly. Focus on the Nigerian market
- 11:301st. Focus on the local market first.
- 11:35The reason why I'm saying this is you need to perfect your
- 11:38business. You also need to perfect your
- 11:42sales processes by working with Nigerian clients first before
- 11:46you attempt to expand internationally.
- 11:50Let me repeat it again before I explain, perfect your business
- 11:54here at home first and your sales processes here at home
- 11:58first before you attempt to expand to international markets.
- 12:05This is the reason why if you are a rubbish business person at
- 12:09home in Nigeria and a rubbish web developer at home in
- 12:13Nigeria, I can assure you, you'll be an even more rubbish
- 12:18business person and developer in the UK and in the USA.
- 12:24As much as we know book pass them.
- 12:27Fortunately or fortunately, when it comes to standards, they
- 12:31employ higher standards than we do.
- 12:34So in the export space, because my brother and I, we tried
- 12:36exports, there's some stuff we get away with Nigeria here, like
- 12:40selling sesame. There's some current quality of
- 12:42sesame that we sell in the Nigeria market that you can't
- 12:45try it, You can't send it to America, you can't.
- 12:48So in Niger with a chopper, but to send to America, they will
- 12:53say what the hell is this? They say no past quality
- 12:55standard. They will tell you the same
- 12:58thing with soy, soy soya beans. There's some soya beans that we
- 13:03move around Benue, Abuja, NASA, you know, no problem with a
- 13:09chopper. We use it for whatever it is
- 13:10want to use. But the moment you say you only
- 13:14export it to America and the UK, they will say, what the hell is
- 13:16this is the no past monster. They will tell you quality, no
- 13:20reach. So it's the same thing.
- 13:22There are some websites and some things that we're doing here
- 13:25that we did manage with the raw farm.
- 13:27But you want to now expand to the American market, they'll
- 13:30say, what the hell is this? This thing, no past monster,
- 13:33this thing is useless. So I told him, focus on Niger
- 13:38affairs. Perfect every, every perfect.
- 13:42Your fulfillment, your skills are there on point.
- 13:45Test it out here, refine your skill here.
- 13:49Your sales process is on call. The way you reach out to people,
- 13:51is it on point? The way you call people, is it
- 13:54on point? The way you respond to emails,
- 13:57it is easy on point. What's your process of actually
- 14:00like outreach everything you know, work on it here, push it
- 14:06up here, fix it up here. Then by the time you've had a
- 14:10bunch of Nigerian clients and clearly you can see that, OK,
- 14:13you know, you're not strong as in your legs are settled ahead.
- 14:16They cannot start looking at the, the international market.
- 14:20So yeah, we should be looking at hard currency, creepsy currency,
- 14:25cool currency, heavy currency. Well, let's, let's, let's, let's
- 14:32say what's that word now? Let's stabilize first in Niger,
- 14:36then we can now start looking at international markets.
- 14:41And we're trying to do 2 things. We're trying to perfect the
- 14:44business itself and we're trying to perfect the sales process
- 14:48itself. Because a useless sales process
- 14:54in Nigeria is also going to be a useless sales process in America
- 14:59or in the UK. And quite frankly, one of the
- 15:02reasons why some of us are suffering, my brothers and
- 15:06sisters, is because the sales process that we have, what we're
- 15:11trying, the sales process we have is useless.
- 15:14So trying to attract to get paid in hard currency, all I put it,
- 15:22all you're doing is you're just changing, you're just, you're
- 15:25just changing the environment. But the problem still persists.
- 15:28So focus on the local market 1st.
- 15:33Then next thing I tried to tell him is we need to prioritize
- 15:38effort. OK, so I thought I had a phone
- 15:41call coming in. Now we need to prioritize effort
- 15:44over strategy. There's something I saw on the
- 15:46podcast and I'll repeat again when it comes to business
- 15:49growth, excuse me? In the early days, all your
- 15:52problems will be overcome by effort.
- 15:55I repeat, in the early days, all your problems will be overcome
- 15:58by effort. By the time you enter stage 2,
- 16:01all your problems will be overcome by scaling.
- 16:04By the time you get to stage 3, all your problems will be
- 16:07overcome by strategy. So let me repeat, Stage 1,
- 16:10effort will solve all your problems.
- 16:12Therefore, just means work on the right stuff and work harder
- 16:16#2 scale. You've worked on the right
- 16:19things. You're not working hard enough.
- 16:21Get other people to join you in the work.
- 16:23Multiply your efforts. Either use human beings by
- 16:25building a team or use technology and scale your
- 16:28efforts. So that's what will help you to
- 16:30grow. Excuse me?
- 16:33So it's only after you've done those first two effort and then
- 16:36scale, they can now start worrying about strategy, looking
- 16:41for how to arbitrage on hard currency.
- 16:44That's putting strategy first, but you know, was hope 1 opening
- 16:48strategy first. If stage 1 and stage 2, you
- 16:50never strong yet you feel me hope you feel what I'm trying to
- 16:54say. So effort, are you even sure you
- 16:59are working on the right things and working hard enough And have
- 17:02you perfected your standard operating procedures and your
- 17:05sales process? Have you tied those things down
- 17:08first? That's just basic stage 1.
- 17:10Then stage 2, you now scale it small, get a team around you,
- 17:14involve technology. Have you put those backgrounds
- 17:17in place first before you now say you're looking for
- 17:19international market, you're now trying to do strategy.
- 17:23See, that's the problem with a lot of us.
- 17:25We're trying to do what trying to do strategy, strategy,
- 17:27strategize in stage 1, like calm down, you don't know anything
- 17:31yet to be strategizing. Fix the fundamentals first.
- 17:35When you don't strong, when you can see the horizon where you're
- 17:38standing, well then you can now start saying, oh you know what,
- 17:41let us take advantage of arbitrage of international
- 17:45currency and charging dollars. Sounds good when you said all
- 17:51that strategy stuff is not for now is for future when your legs
- 17:56are strong. So effort first in the
- 17:59beginning, the answer is always effort, effort.
- 18:02FI know people who say work smarter, not work harder.
- 18:05But what did they say? If I run into any of you, I give
- 18:08you backhand, stop saying that rubbish because there's no part
- 18:14of the world where somebody wakes up and says, you know
- 18:15what, I'm going to work hard. Well, let me work hard
- 18:17foolishly. That's just a useless American
- 18:21debate. This whole thing of work hard
- 18:22versus work smart is a useless American debate.
- 18:26There's nobody who wakes up and says, you know what, let me work
- 18:28hard, but let me work hard foolishly.
- 18:29Nobody says that. So please kill that debate.
- 18:34All right, let me move on before I say something or annoy
- 18:37somebody. Then he also had some questions
- 18:41about AI. That is why I say, look, AI can
- 18:44be dangerous. He's talking about how he has
- 18:46used AI to develop scripts that are going to write the outreach
- 18:49and then the AI something he has quoted it to respond to the
- 18:52message. And guy, AI is good.
- 18:57And I talk on the podcast about how you should use AI, but AI is
- 19:00for scaling. AI is not for fixing.
- 19:03If you have not determined the process, if you have not worked
- 19:05on the process, then you'll be scaling rubbish.
- 19:12AI and automation is effective when you already have a
- 19:15successful business model in place.
- 19:18If you don't have a successful business model in place, what
- 19:20are you AI ING? What are you automating?
- 19:22What are you scaling? What?
- 19:25My guy, your process is flawed. Using AI will only amplify your
- 19:30failures. So relax, calm down.
- 19:35We need to fix some fundamental things first before we begin the
- 19:38AI. OK?
- 19:39You're using AI to write sales script and to automate outreach
- 19:42and everything. How do you know that our
- 19:44outreach works? Relax, try it out in Nigeria
- 19:48first. Try it out manual, be calling
- 19:50people manual, send e-mail manual, send WhatsApp message
- 19:55manual based on what is working and what is not working.
- 19:58You will now know that. OK, this one, let me automate.
- 20:01Let me you know AI, let me AI the thing because at least I've
- 20:07shown that the thing works. So please.
- 20:10Yeah, it's good. But for a lot of us, we need to
- 20:12slow down, to calm down. We're trying to run before we
- 20:16can walk. We won't be Usain Bolt, but it's
- 20:19not like that. Walk first, make sure your
- 20:23cardio is on point. You know they go gym, build some
- 20:26leg muscle, you know, take part in some local tournament 1st and
- 20:32then eventually can try out for Olympics.
- 20:35So relax, please. Let's calm down.
- 20:38AI is good, but just remember AI is used to scale something that
- 20:44already works. You can use AI to scale an
- 20:47already successful business if your sales process has flaws and
- 20:53if your business has flaws using AI, you only be opening your bum
- 20:57bum in the public and do not do that.
- 20:59You're amplifying your failure. Please don't do that.
- 21:06Yeah, you computer people, you front end back developers, you
- 21:08are the one that say garbage in, garbage out.
- 21:10RB is the same thing. If you're using AI and you do
- 21:13garbaging, the one that will come out to be garbage out.
- 21:16So slow down, slow your roll. There's some things you need to
- 21:19fix first. So I guess you guys really
- 21:25understand this. I'm trying to say basically any
- 21:28hard currency is good and I want to any hard currency too.
- 21:32And people have been telling me, oh, boy, how far target the
- 21:34American market. I say, yeah, I will eventually.
- 21:37But The thing is, what I do, the birth place of that industry is
- 21:41in America. So like my father used to say,
- 21:47my father used to say you can't be more Jay-Z than Jay-Z
- 21:50himself. That's what my old man used to
- 21:52say. And it's true, this whole sales
- 21:55trainer, conversion rate optimization, business
- 21:58development specialist, the birth place of this thing is in
- 22:01America. So you want me to go and compete
- 22:05with them on their own terms. Now eventually I get there.
- 22:10My focus has always been, let me dominate Nigeria first.
- 22:13Anytime somebody says sales in Nigeria, they should call Tavish
- 22:17in my idea. Let me dominate Niger first.
- 22:20From there, the Ghanaians would be saying be like said our boy
- 22:22knows, you know, knows what's up.
- 22:24Ghanaians be calling me before you know it.
- 22:28South Africa, as we say, it's like there's one guy that I shop
- 22:30in West Africa. That guy Terry Schumer was his
- 22:33name and call that guy. So it's from dominating Niger
- 22:39entering Canada before you know, it S Africans don't they call me
- 22:42small, small, small. That's how I get on the radar.
- 22:45And now, you know, enter like America.
- 22:47I'm not going to do that thing that this my guy, what's his
- 22:50name? What's your flavor?
- 22:52What's your flavor? Tell me, what's your flavor?
- 22:56What's his name again? Craig Craig David.
- 23:01Craig David was a big boy in the UK with What's Your Flavor and
- 23:05you know all that. Whatever he decided, he wanted
- 23:06to go and enter the American market.
- 23:08You know, who are you? He went there.
- 23:09Now does anybody know Craig David?
- 23:12If I want to say Craig Davis, some of you are saying Craig
- 23:14who? So relax, we fix some things
- 23:17first. The boy should have been the guy
- 23:19should have become superstar in the UK first.
- 23:23Enjoy that fame that he was getting.
- 23:25Then with that, what's his flip? What's Your Flavor album?
- 23:28Should have dominated UK, you know, done a few international
- 23:32tours, you know, grow up first, mature first, you know, So OK, I
- 23:35want to enter American market anyway.
- 23:39So Marisha, perfect your processes locally first.
- 23:44For you web developers or anybody who is targeting the
- 23:46American market, master your sales process here first, master
- 23:50your fulfillment process here first.
- 23:52Fulfillment is fulfillment just means that you have an order you
- 23:56take the order, you process the order you deliver then people
- 24:00are happy. So that's what fulfillment
- 24:03means. So work on fulfillment first.
- 24:06All of that do it here at home. Once you have proven that you
- 24:10have a successful model in Niger first then applies and also
- 24:16looking for international clients, then you can take
- 24:18advantage of foreign exchange. So we'll all end this forex.
- 24:22Don't worry, we will charge in dollars all of us.
- 24:24I'm here with you, we will charge it But First things
- 24:27first, let us walk before we can run.
- 24:32Now let me tell you the sad thing, as I scroll up now and I
- 24:37looked at all the messages, I saw something that yeah, this
- 24:39guy, we've actually chatted before in the past and we
- 24:45actually vetted some ideas about how he was going to do Instagram
- 24:47outreach for Nigerian business owners and how he was going to
- 24:51be doing 10, I think 10 targeted outreach every day.
- 24:56Meanwhile, the guy never apply him.
- 24:59He's now coming up with a new idea.
- 25:01Can you see what I keep saying on the podcast?
- 25:04Can you see what I think The problem is?
- 25:10Lots of us are come up with fancy ideas, but in discipline
- 25:13in the kilos, we're not even discipline enough to to see
- 25:17anything through. And we think that the problem is
- 25:19with the idea. There was already a good idea in
- 25:23the past outreach to business owners on Instagram.
- 25:29We've come up with the script, we've come up with the approach,
- 25:32we've come up with everything. You did not apply.
- 25:35Now you're thinking of problems that you're not ending in
- 25:37dollars. Your problem is this, that
- 25:39you're not ending Forex, your problems that you're not
- 25:41disciplined enough to see anything through.
- 25:45I keep saying on the podcast, good ideas are not the problem.
- 25:48Stop looking for good ideas. The idea that you have is
- 25:50already good enough. Execution is the thing that is
- 25:53killing us. You're not even executing on the
- 25:55ideas that you have. Calm down.
- 25:59Stop looking for good ideas. The idea that you have is good
- 26:02enough. Even if it's not good enough,
- 26:04you won't even know because you're not even executing it.
- 26:07So from one idea to another idea to another idea.
- 26:11Anyway, I'm looking at the guy. No, no problem, I tried to be
- 26:15nice, so I answer as many questions as possible whenever I
- 26:17have time. So you know, I told the guy, no
- 26:20problem, send me the message. I'm in the middle of some client
- 26:22work now. I'll get back to you in like 2-3
- 26:24days time. Just send me a reminder.
- 26:26You know, I also had the guy, but you know, honestly, I know
- 26:30that six months from now the guy will ping me again.
- 26:35I will start a new chat. By the time I scroll up, I'll
- 26:38see that, oh man, this guy, we know the chat before.
- 26:41This is not the first time and I'll see that we're back at
- 26:43square 1 with a brand new idea. So we're in forex.
- 26:48Well, let's be strong in Nigeria 1st and then stop looking for
- 26:51fancy ideas. Ideas are not the problem with
- 26:54the idea that you already have, execute on it.
- 26:56Put in effort, make sure you're working on the right things.
- 26:59When you're sure that you're working on the right thing now
- 27:02good. The next thing is let's try and
- 27:04scale this thing up a bit, build a team around you, get other
- 27:07people to sell and execute on your behalf or use technology
- 27:11and their skill. And when you've now reached that
- 27:15level, there's something on ground, there's processes,
- 27:18there's something, hey, we can now start looking for strategy
- 27:22of how we can capture dollars and how we can be earning $7000
- 27:27every month. Because even though $7000 per
- 27:31month might be small money to them, by the time now do that
- 27:33calculation in Nigeria, you say several $1000, it will make
- 27:38sense. Anyway, let me wrap it up here.
- 27:40So that's it. And that's all.
- 27:42Remember, if you'd love to connect, you can call, send me a
- 27:45text message via WhatsApp message on 08064662140.
- 27:51Thanks for your time and attention.
- 27:52I'll catch you next time. Same place in your headphones or
- 27:55in your speakers. And please, if you do send me a
- 27:58message and we do talk about, you know, something and we agree
- 28:01on something. Can't go and execute first
- 28:03before you come back to me with another brand new revolutionary
- 28:08idea. Because to be honest, you know,
- 28:11if I catch that, OK, this person just likes idea, idea, idea.
- 28:14After a while, I'll just bone you.
- 28:16I'll start ignoring you when they don't worry.
- 28:18I've only ignored one person so far because the guy was an
- 28:20absolute twat guy. No houses at all guy, no
- 28:22guesses. Anyway, let me leave it here so
- 28:25I'll catch you guys at the next episode.
