Winter ABC Day 5: The Big Idea!

"I want to be a billionaire so freaking bad," lyrics sung by Bruno Mars as he spoke of a general aspiration. We all want to be billionaires. But billions don't grow on trees, they are a culmination of successful business ideas.

My goal is to make it onto the Forbes billionaire list. But the bigger picture is to be a black, African woman, with successful business empires. And those empires should be legacy businesses for generations to come. Boy, am I a dreamer!

As an entrepreneur, I continuously seek wisdom to help establish and grow my business ventures. My current needs are financial capital as well as human capital. I believe with a team, no matter how small, we can attain the vision. Boosted by stable finances, I believe that my business ventures can actually thrive.

I already have a business that if I were given money for, I would invest in. In the past four years, I have invested in financial literacy and learning the ropes of business. Part of the homework has been working for other people. With part of my salary, I have tried to invest in my business ventures, slowly but surely. I intend to find the right business model that can offer high returns on investment.

I run an online magazine and that is my dream project. My major overhead is data, web hosting, as well as applications such as Promo, Spreaker and Envato elements. I need to pay a graphic designer, and social media manager mainly for the day-to-day operations because they deal with the content creation. I need to fund as well as pay writers. Writers need transport, food and data to get the work done.

There are subsidiary projects under the magazine including my personal brand. All these require human resources backed by financial investment. The big idea is for the company to grow and expand. I want it to take a life of its own so that it can benefit the next generation.

I believe that the future is young. We need young CEOs and heads of department. We need fresh, innovative ideas focused on youth culture and empowerment. And obviously, everyone, including myself, should get paid handsomely for doing what they love.

That is the business I would like to invest in if I had the money.

Passion plus action...

P.S. Always write your own love story!

Ciao!

5 Inexpensive Dates in a Bad Economy

If he's making the economy an excuse, swipe left.... A guy who makes too many excuses whilst pursuing you is not worth your time. He will make excuses for not making time for you. More so, for not taking you on a date. A real man makes a plan...all the time! Yes, the economy is atrocious...a complete nightmare! Does that mean that humanity stops? Y'all,  we have procreation to continue until the end of time. A season of a recession, shouldn't hinder dates, relationships and the whole nine yards that come with that package. Couples over centuries overcame obstacles such as family feuds, classism, racism, tribalism, religious differences etc. They all found a way around those challenges. Any guy who uses 'in this economy' as an excuse is dropped like a pin. Honestly, such an individual lacks ambition and creativity. I want the flowers, chocolate, and the date. Otherwise...skrrr! You will have to show innovation in your pursuit. If you can't be strategic w...

Better The Devil You Know...

No intentions are still intentions and usually cruel intentions! 'Little Miss Muffet, sat on a tuffet, eating her curds and whey.Along came a big spider,who sat beside her, and frightened poor Miss Muffet away.' For those who are tracking with my MPVs, you are acquainted with the infamous Mr. X, (the one who epitomises Taylor Swift's 'Trouble'). What I never mentioned was the 'rebound' after Mr  X, (I should have known that, higher levels, come with bigger devils). The Devil. Yep, he has reincarnated himself more times in my life than I can count. But to be honest, despite what everyone thought, I preferred Mr. X,(in a twisted way, he is a 'good' guy). Better the devil you know, right? You see, after I cut the umbilical cord from Mr. X,(though it was a boat going nowhere), I went all Rihanna, (Do not judge. How do you, nurse a broken heart?) Anyway, during this period, not even bothered about moving on, or searching, I met a wolf in sheep...

The Red Season: The Textationship

Human connection is deepened by proximity and access to each other. Bonjour mes amies! We made it to the other side, welcome to a new year. It is with the hope that this will be an evolutionary year for all of us. May we action every declaration and resolution. May we manifest in reality the desires of our hearts in accordance with time and purpose.  Our last piece was all about manifestation. We decided that in this season we are leveling up. We are going to unpack those suitcases of trauma, bitterness, self-pity, anger, low self-esteem, and low standards. We are unlearning bad habits and we are realigning ourselves with the 'Lord of the ring' - the author and finisher of our life story.  In the spirit of resolutions particularly as we go through our spiritual alignment during the 10 and 21 days of January, let's really unlearn. Welcome to the Red Season. I chose the colour red because it's bold and vibrant. Red is the colour of the blood that runs through our veins...

How I Met Your Father

Always write your own love story... So here I am painting my story on a canvas. Today I decided to do something slightly different. While I binge-watched the entire first season of "How I Met Your Father," something dawned on me. As a fan of the original "How I Met Your Mother," I was curious if the spin-off would match up. The series stars Hilary Duff, Christopher Lowell, Francia Raisa, Suraj Sharma, Tom Ainsley, Tien Tran, and Kim Cattrall. Cattrall plays the 2050 version of the protagonist and narrator, Sophie. She recounts to her unseen son the events that followed meeting his father in January 2022 and how they ultimately had him. Fans are shown Sophie, played by Hillary Duff, and her group of friends in New York City's Manhattan. The 10-episode series shows how these 20- and 30-somethings maneuver through their disastrous dating lives, assumedly post-pandemic. Here I am, using my imagination to create universe versions of "how I met your father."...
