Blueprint to a flourishing and a successful business.

There is nothing exciting than starting your own business ‘cause at the end of the day you know you are your own boss and most of all opportunities are being created. Starting your own business require a lot of energy, and perhaps giving up your jobs to allow you to focus because it need you ever than before.
I want us to talk about one thing that is detriment before and after starting your business and many black owned business that were there yesterday are not here today because of that one major issue. That one thing is the purpose, aim and many who would like to call it they say it’s the objectivity of your business. Why are you starting a business?

 Money in most cases is the driving force to many to think about doing a business. Although capital is critical for your business, it could be the turning point to your business not to become successful if that is the purpose of the holistic idea.  Let’s try to rationalise it, someone starts a day care where young ones are kept while their parents are off to work. The business requires a lot of time and patient and if your aiming for cash you could be disappointed if isn’t coming so quick.  Sometimes it could even take three to six months or even a year without enough cash flow per months and if you did it for money, you can give up so early than expected because isn’t producing enough.  Many would go as far as creating business for their survival just to make little to buy bread that is why many don’t grow, but is it the kind of business you would like to see it booming one day? I don’t think so.

But being honest it goes beyond just making money or for survival if your business is to flourish at the end of the day.  A business that glows and become successful is something that was created to offer its customers something unique that its competitors are likely not have for example if your competitors involved on a day care business don’t bath children before their parents could collect them, starting a day care with such great idea could convince [more] parents to take their kids to your day care ‘cause they don’t have to stress anymore about arriving at home and bath their babies. You have already done it for them.

Conduct a research whether there is a great need for it to exist not. A business that will flourish is the business that its purpose is to solve the deficiency of its nature within the society.  One thing that many incline to forget is the community. People are the most decisive part of your business if is to survive or not. Let your purpose of the business be about people and only people on how to take them out of depression that they could possibly be suffering from and put them into comfort.  Your business will roar like a lion after a delicious meal.

GOODLUCK

'whatever you give woman, she will make greater'.

The British novelist once said ‘whatever you give woman, she will make greater. If you give her sperm, she will give you a baby, if you give her a house she will give you a home, if you give her a smile, she will give you her heart’. Whatever women put hands upon turns to platinum. This just gives a clear analogy of women as the most influential part of the society.

But it comes with surprise when the Media tend to undermine and disrespect the presents of women in our society and they themselves don’t see that. Let’s talk about the representation of women in the media. The media industries more specifically television was heavily loaded with men than women on the screen some few years back and many people thought women were being undermined which could be the case. But today everything seems to have changed with women dominating the screen and they feel being empowered which is not absolute the case.

As the world continuously becoming a commercial stage where making money is the priority than the social perspective that women are being empowered on our screen, women are continuously being disrespected in an attempt to make profit. In direct terms, the media are using women to generate capital and use the word beauty to blind them. They are sort of an attractive tool that television finds it relevant to scoop more viewership and without women the television business is likely not to flourish.

One of the tools explained as media rhetoric or persuasive technique are only women and one thing that should possible be asked is why only women and not men? The media decide on how women should look, media decide what women should wear on and off the screen; the media decide everything for women.

 How many stories on our TV that shows women with their legs covered? How many television programme hosted by women with their cleavage covered, with their faces, entire body being transformed? Unlike men, they are presented wearing suits and tie, why? Because men are regarded superior than women and should be respected. That’s the social perspective about men.

Women are being disrespected, undermined and taken advantage of. It's only time that women realize how television has taken advantage of them and strike back!
