WOMEN AT HOME AND IN BUSINESS

There is an adage that says the only thing that does not change is change itself. Everything we are seeing or experiencing today has undergone a process of change overtime.

In the time past, society demands a woman (especially wives) to be totally dependent on a man (husband) for her survival.  All that has gone into the trash bin. Women are not only advocate of change these days, but major participants of change process.

Today’s woman is a leader, mother and a wife. She is a team player, a motivator and a builder. How times has change when they were relegated and confined in the kitchen.

In the business world today, women have taken a strategic position in the scheme of things.  Most successful business today are owned and manage by women.

How does these women successfully manage their home front and their businesses?

They have learned to perform dual roles which men used to performed that makes them super humans.  They have learnt that for them to be respected by the society, they must balance their home front with that of their business.

Many women have failed to realize that they have to play a dual role when they ventured into business. And in the process, they got their fingers burnt and they are regretting their actions today.
In as much as business provide a source of livelihood, the family (home front) remains a source of joy to every individual.  As a woman, your husband needs your attention (and you must give him good sex in the night too), your children needs your care (if you have any) as well as your business. Failure to cater for the needs of all these pressing needs is a venture to “doom!”

How can you succeed as a woman with all these challenges?

·         You must first of all place your family needs as top priority. Get a trusted hand to assist you in your business when you are not there.
·         Plan your day the day before. Have a concrete Business Plan that will guide you in your business decisions.
·         Show your family how much you love and care for them in order to get the necessary support you may need to succeed in your business.
·         Close on time to spend enough time with your family.
These days, many women are engaged in home base businesses. In as much as this seems ideal, you must not allow the business to interfere with your family time. Neither should you allow the family to interfere with the business time. Make it clear to them that in as much as they need your love and care, you need income to make their lives better.

INTERNAL PROMOTION AND SUCCESSION PLANNING

Promotion comes as a result of ones performance on the job over a period of time, or it could be said to be an advancement in ones profession. Succession on the other hand is a shift in position as a result of promotion, transfer, retirement or death of others. It could be as well a change in policy of an organisation leading to reorganisation of operations and human resources. Getting succession right is vital. There are two approaches that can be used at different times to ensure success. The internal selection approach advocates choosing successors from within, to ensure a smooth transition, preserve company values, and encourage employees by showing a potential career path. Most organisations struggle with how to turn succession into success. It is necessary to use either internal selection or the Darwinian approach at different levels or at different times. For example, a high percentage (80%) of senior roles may be internally appointed, while junior roles are sel...

GREEDY PEOPLE, POOR NATION

A holy man was having a conversation with the Lord one day and said, 'Lord, I would like to know what Heaven and Hell are like. The Lord led the holy man to two doors. He opened one of the doors and the holy man looked in.  In the middle of the room was a large round table.  In the middle of the table was a large pot of stew, which smelled delicious and made the holy man's mouth water. The people sitting around the table were thin and sickly.  They appeared to be famished.  They were holding spoons with very long handles that were strapped to their arms and each found it possible to reach into the pot of stew and take a spoonful.  But because the handle was longer than their arms, they could not get the spoons back into their mouths. The holy man shuddered at the sight of their misery and suffering. The Lord said, 'You have seen Hell.' They went to the next room and opened the door.  It was exactly the same as the first one.  There was the la...

Reasons for most Business Failures

There has been rampant cases of business failures both in the past and at present.  One wondered what is behind this.  Some even make assertions that the business world has collapsed, some says businessmen has joined the political wagon that they have failed to differentiate between business capital and profit. All these assertions have no basis.  You may ask what then has been behind most business failures?  The answer to this question is simple “poor customer relations”. One of the single greatest key to long-term business success can be summed up in three simple words: Quality customer service. Yet as customers, you and I are aware that quality customer service is far too rare these days in spite that many business organisations have invested heavily in this unit but few actually make any headway.  Why is excellent service so rare? There are three reasons for this.             Employees don’t know t...
