Businesses are popping up daily which is quite understandable because our society is changing the mechanism of perspective that has been longed for due to change. Thank God for this present century and those who have laboured to change the viewpoint also sacrificing themselves in taking steps. Growing up, my ideology has always been to succeed, you must go to school, finish with good grades then make sure you use your certificate very well to the extent that you are employed by a company, an organisation or a federal government agency. So many people believe in this as their only source of success and breaking away from the finance bondage in their family.
Well, I will not dispute the fact, it works as some were able to use the mechanism to actually get to that point of success and break away from financial bondage. But does that mean you should only have that mindset? I bet you should not in this contemporary age. It gets to a point, people start shifting from that ideology and beginning to believe in the mindset that you should start working not only depending on salary or wages for your income but add another source of income to your monthly pay job. People begin to realise they can't continue to sell their value cheaply.
It begins to gain relevancy in our society and people's eyes begin to open to see the need why they should not only depend on their monthly payment job for sustainability but also have some side hustle which can complement the little or huge income they are making. This is very good because if you view it from another perspective, it helps to protect against finance downtime which might come due to emergency reasons. Recently now, there have been popular ideologies also coming up in which people did not even want to work for people again. But they want to be business owners. Everybody wants to own a business now irrespective of the niche or the audience they should be targeting because they believe being a business owner is more financially profit tied than working for some people because you own the business yourself and you can decide to control how it moves and how it should not moves.
This is very true because having control over some issues related to finances in a business as you have been the owner, tends to give you this larger leverage to explore and tends to bring in more profit for you than you can ever imagine compared to working for someone. Now the issue is not starting a business, but gaining relevancy in the business industry. There is a popular saying that whatever you are doing now, some people have done it before which is there is nothing new under the sun. This is also applicable to the business industry too because of the high desire in people and the number of business owners we now have compared to last decades, it has made the business industry so much more competitive.
You begin to see people who sell the same goods you are selling, rendering the same service you are giving out and even implementing some of the popular strategies you know in the business world as far as it is producing results. In a bid to gain relevancy, what should you do? That's where the picture of being unique comes in. You need to be unique. Yes, there might be people who sell the same goods you are into and even rendering the same services you are but determining to be unique in what you do helps you to gain relevancy at a faster pace.
They might be doing the same thing but you are not doing the same thing with them. There is uniqueness in your own business. Your uniqueness can be found either in the form of the way of attending to your customers. Yea, I have seen beautiful ways some business brands attend to customers that differ from other co-brand owners even though they are doing the same thing but what attracts people to their brand or niche is their services to their customers. Another way is even in packaging. The way you package your goods can be an additional benefit. You tend to package the delivery of your goods, the way you render services and even the way you package your delivery generally can create that uniqueness in you beyond what you can imagine
Strive to be unique in your business brand and industry. Yes, there might be strong competition going on but that's why you need to strive to be unique. Produce something and offer something different compared to your other co-business owners. Strive to be unique and you will see yourself at the top in the business world.
