    Business Simulation IdeasforAfrica.Case in point Nigeria,small-mid-large scale (industry,IT,power,oil,mining -through5-5 Crowdfunding Model .
    Setting up businesses in Africa ,especially Nigeria is very hard due to a number of factors .Raising fund for investors with ideas ,is a lot difficult because banks may hardly listen ,with loads of bottle neck and cumbersome process. Another factor that is obvious is idea bereft ; being unable to come up with realistic solutions to solve the African-Nigerian needs has eluded many even the highly skilled professionals,the truth is our own economy requires a special type of home-grown business skills to achieve something worthwhile,if this resonates with you,then a take deep breath,sit-back and relax as I reel out the realest content you need to grow and scale up your ideas for Africa .It is often said that Africa(Nigeria) is an emerging economy ,this automatically makes her a 'graveyard' of untapped environmental business potential,you may just be thinking in the right direction by thinking Africa ,specifically Nigeria as the next hub of your small-scale to large scale with Africanized cost-effective and cutting edge solutions. In this class I will go into full throttle to explain my 5-5 crowdfunding African model .Summarily ,it involves helping to hone your ideas ,like A/B split testing it,if it survives this crucible we can go ahead with the next stage which involves like-minded people who have the same inclinations to financially buy into your idea. This is where the name 5-5 crowdfunding is primarily derived,but not limited to this in scope. People invest and you spread the risk for medium-scale business; people invest expertise ,know-how,experience to make simple and small ideas work.I have a tonne of turnkey business ideas and solutions in case your ideas do not fly,they may not make 'etymological' meaning to you- in other words may not be what you are passionate about ,but sure makes business meaning .My 5-5 crowd funding business model is Hydra -headed and multi-faceted ,this is why you have to enrol now for my series.It is expository,it is fiery, practically 🔥.I'll sure blow up your mind. I am an honest bloke ,realest in my niche ,a hard-nose ,I just make it work from small to big,getting my hands dirty with hands-on techniques and simulations where it is needed.What are you still waiting for,why won't you make this leap jump and enrol and re-enrol into this University of business discovery .5-5 crowdfunding model,let that stick.A trial has always convince them; it must convince you too.

    Coaching / business creation procedures / Growth
    Being myself at the head of my company for 4 years, I went through all the stages of the creation of a company. I would be delighted to be able to save you time by teaching you everything I learned from my early experience. I can guide you on the beginnings of business creation, give you ideas and effective methods to grow but also talk to you about what exists as help / support to move forward on the best path. I also know the different intense phases of entrepreneurial life so I could tell you about them and help you get through them :)
