First of all, having observed the situation of things in Nigeria and most countries around the globe, good percentage of business tycoons doing well offline has not leveraged their businesses online or have created streams of income from online and is risky.
It is true that Fraudsters must have destroyed the reputation and authenticity of online business. Most times, it is because of our Ignorance of not knowing how the system runs or not having a qualified personnel that can direct and guide us well.
Aside from your reasons why you are afraid to invest in online business, you should consider taking in a new and redefined philosophy about networking business and pushing your business online.
Warren Buffet said and I quote [Paraphrased] "If you've not discovered ways to make money while sleeping, it is obvious that you'll die working for the smartest that leverages on your human capital"
Most secrets are disclosed in simplicity.
Without wasting much of your time, follow the reasons why you should mate with online space:
Online is Automated:
Most work we do like telling people offline what we can offer, by investing some certain amount of money online, your Product is been spread home and abroad. Within the space of 10mins, you might have covered about 200 potential customers. So while you are busy sleeping, the internet is running your business.Communication Skills:
Networking Businesses or any form of online business helps to improve our communication skills. The psychology of convincing someone online is fun and it improves our communication skills through writing and speaking (When phone or offline date is involved)Fills your Entrepreneurial Skill-Kit:
Your entrepreneurial skill-set is different from your employee skill-kit. Most times, when you are employed, you are limited to surf online or even attend some seminars both online or offline that will enable you think and work out your salvation. But an Entrepreneurial skill-kit requires your creativity to be more innovative and creative in your own way.
Employee Skill-Kit is limited, because it might not be efficient when deployed in a true entrepreneurial setting but entrepreneurial acumen is flexible enough.
Your Social Intelligence:
It enables you build your social life. When you set a goal that you are going to make up to NGN1million a week, all that is in your head is to know how to convince, seduce and make people salivate to what you've got so that they can patronize you.Trend:
Online enables you flow with the trend. It makes you know what is happening in the global market. By seeing the event happening their, it rewires your mind to flow with it, so that you can earn more before it is crowded.
The lag time of the school system is 50years. Lag time means the period of conception of an idea to the period it is welcomed in any system. An average banking and finance student doesn't know what crypto-currency is all about and it means that it will take 50year for the student to know what it is. But that's if the school system will welcome it. Who stays in school for 50years?
So, the chances of getting acquainted with what crypto-currency is at the mercy of your curiosity to educate yourself outside the four walls of the school system.
It is outside the four walls of the school system that Trend flows very well. Meaning that your Formal and Informal Education should be integrated to function at your creativity peak.
There are million reasons but I chose to hang my Quill and Ink here!
