STARTING A BUSINESS(WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW(Part 2)

REAL PEOPLE,REAL VISIONS(Goal Setting)
Imagine 22 international footballers playing in a modern 21st century football pitch with the crowd agog by the thrill of these stars for 90 minutes of fantastic play,only to find out at the referee's blast of the final whistle that there were no goal posts in the first pace.This will only substantiate the words of the presiding bishop of the Winners' Chapel,Dr. Bishop Oyedepo who once said "when you don't have a goal,you live like a goat".
Visions that will ever come to pass must translate first of all into goals.While your vision is the big picture of your future created in your imagination,your goals are specific sign posts and landmarks on the way to achieving the big picture.
That is.while you have one clear vision statement.E.g To set up the biggest fashion outfit in Nigeria, you must clearly define in short term how you intend to get there.

THE BEST VISION
Fishes need not attend swimming classes,elephants will never attend weight-loss programs,lilies are never going to be apprentices of fashion class and you will never see a bee enrol in a business school).This is due to one reason,the best vision is centred on your uniqueness.Stick to what you know how to do best.The world only celebrates secialists not jacks.When you hear these names,what readily comes to your mind?
Tiger Woods - Golf
Bill Gates - Computers
Wole Soyinka  -Literature
Barack Obama  -Politics
Michael Jordan  -Basketball
Mike Tyson  -Boxing
You  -???????????
You are going to be remembered for either of two things;Problems that you solve or Problems that you create.Please locate your place,search it out,stick with it,speed with it,stand by it,and soar with it.This is where real life begins.
