Good Afternoon,

As you all known, I am by name Ismail Ibrahim Muhammad, a Techie Youth student, from Yola-North (Jimeta), Nigeria.

Today's Topic is very much interested and I will like to share my experience about what I learned at Techie Youth on ENTREPRENEURSHIP (HOW TO LAUNCH A NEW BUSINESS).

Everyone has ideas. Some of these ideas may be decent, while others are probably not so good.

Even if your idea is great, there’s a large difference between having a great idea and creating a successful startup company.

Do you have what it takes to be an Entrepreneur?

If your answer is yes, then you need to know how to take an idea and turn it into a startup company.

For those of you who have never started a business before, it can sound like an intimidating task.

Don’t get me wrong – I’m not saying that getting your startup company up and running is an easy mission by any stretch.

It will take hard work, dedication, money, some sleepless nights, and even some failure before you succeed. Once you get your company off the ground, you need to work just as hard to keep it going each year.

What is involved in launching a new startup business?

We’ll outline and discuss each step in detail so you have a better understanding of what I’m talking about.

You can use this guide as your blueprint for launching your startup company.

1. MAKE A BUSINESS PLAN:

Having an idea is one thing, but having a legitimate Business plan is another story.

Clearly, you need money to start and operate a new business.

A proper business plan gives you a significant advantage.

So how do you make a business plan?

In simple terms, a business plan is the written description of your company’s future.

The business plan needs to be the first thing on your list because you’ll use it to help you with some of the remaining steps.

2. SECURE APPROPRIATE FUNDING:

You’ll need adequate capital to get yourself off the ground.

There’s no magic number that applies to all businesses.

The startup costs will obviously vary from industry to industry, so your company may require more or less funding depending on the situation.

The cost of doing business is much higher than people initially think.

Let’s circle back to our business plan for a minute.

All business plans contain a financial plan. This plan usually includes:

Balance sheet

Sales forecast

Profit and loss statement

Cash-flow statement

3. SURROUND YOURSELF WITH THE RIGHT PEOPLE:

You’re going to need some help while launching your startup company.

So where do you start?

Certain people often get overlooked when entrepreneurs are getting their business started.

Sure, you may realize that you’ll need some staff and a manager to help run your company. Is that it?

How many people do you need? It depends on the industry.

4. FIND A LOCATION AND ALSO BUILD A WEBSITE:

Your startup company needs a physical address and a web address.

Whether it’s offices, retail space, or a manufacturing location, you need to buy or lease a property to operate your business.

Try to secure enough funding so that you can afford to buy property.

It’s worth the investment and will save you money in the long run. You also need to create a website.

Don’t wait until the day your business officially launches to get your website off the ground.

It’s never too early to start promoting your business. If customers are searching online for a service in your industry, you want them to know that you exist, even if you’re not quite open for business yet.

You can even start generating some income through your website.

5. BECOME A MARKETING EXPERT:

If you’re not a marketing expert, you need to become one.

You might have the best product or service in the world, but if nobody knows about it, then your startup can’t succeed.

Learn how to use digital marketing techniques like:

Content marketing

Affiliate marketing

Email marketing

Search engine optimization (SEO)

Social media marketing (SMM)

Search engine marketing (SEM)

Pay-per-click advertising (PPC)

If you’re starting a small business in a local community, you can take advantage of some older and conventional methods such as:

Print advertising

Radio advertisements

Television

Billboards

6. BUILD A CUSTOMER BASE:

If you’re following this plan in order, the good news is that you’re already on the right track to building a customer base.

Starting a website, growing your digital presence, and becoming an effective marketer are all steps in the right direction.

7. PREPARE FOR ANYTHING:

Expect the unexpected. Launching your startup company won’t be easy, and you need to plan for some hurdles along the way.

Don’t let these speed bumps become roadblocks. You can’t get discouraged when something goes wrong. Preserve and push through it.

And much more (etc).

Thank you for reading.

Hello Guys,

As you all known, I am by name Ismail Ibrahim Muhammad, a Techie Youth student, from Yola-North (Jimeta), Nigeria.

Our today's Topic is very much interested and I will like to share with you what I learned at Techie Youth on STRESS MANAGEMENT.

First of all, let me explain or break down the word "Stress".

Stress is a pressure or tension exerted on a material object. 

Stress is a feeling of emotional or physical tension. It can come from any event or thought that makes you feel frustrated, angry, or nervous.

Stress is your body's reaction to a challenge or demand. In short bursts, stress can be positive, such as when it helps you avoid danger or meet a deadline.

While Stress Management: Effective stress management helps you break the hold stress has on your life, so you can be happier, healthier, and more productive.

How to Manage Stress Include:

Relaxation techniques, times management skills, counseling or group therapy, exercise, and maintaining an overall healthy lifestyle.

And I understood that you will only be angry when you choose to do so, as a human being you have to learn how to overcome your anger (control). As you just gave us an example when someone or something is stimulating your feelings of anger, stop whatever you are doing immediately, go look in the mirror or into your selfie-camera and smile as wide of a smile as you can make. Hold that smile for at least 10-seconds while looking at yourself, by doing so you can control your anger.

And I will use what I learned to control my anger anywhere and also advice or teach younger ones on how to overcome this problem.

This is all what I can say on Stress Management, and I will like to use this opportunity to appreciate your humanitarian aid in our Local Government Area, Regions and Country (Rural and Urban Areas).

My regards to the Founder of Techie Youth and the rest of workers.

My name is Ismail Ibrahim Muhammad, a Techie Youth Student, from Yola-North, Nigeria..

Today, am going to share a key or ways on how to "Successfully Work a Remote Job" on my own understanding and also using simple English words.

Lets get into my world of understanding.

Every remote worker faces unique challenges, from distractions that are unusually hard to avoid to increasingly complex responsibilities at home that make it challenging to find a healthy work-life balance. The good news? The amazing benefits of remote work make the effort you put into overcoming any works from a home obstacles more than worth your time.

The particular aspects of remote work mean that you’ll have to do some planning ahead to work from home successfully. By developing a few good habits and following some key suggestions, you can work through any works from a home challenges that come your way. 

How to be a Good Remote Workers Work from Home:

1. Communicate Proactively:

When you’re not in the same office as your boss and teammates, you need to take your communication skills to the next level. Use email, phone calls, video calls, online chat software, and whatever other tools you have at your disposal. Ask when and how people want to hear from you, and follow those preferences.

2. Clarify Expectations

Clarifying expectations starts by having frequent and transparent conversations with your boss and coworkers, making sure you know what they expect you to accomplish and when.

3. Set Office Hours and Stick to Them

Decide what your regular work hours will be and inform your boss and colleagues of your schedule. Then do all you can to follow it. Your coworkers need to know when you’ll be available for work tasks and meetings, and when you’re clocked out and on personal time.

4. Dress for the Job

As tempting as it may be, resist the urge to stay in your PJs all day long and dress for work every day. Not only will you want to look professional on video meetings, but getting dressed in the morning puts your brain in “work” mode.

5. Structure your days

To work from home successfully, you’ll need to plan out and structure your days so the hours don’t get away from you. Create to-do lists, set goals, and come up with a daily schedule, complete with breaks and times when you’ll be able to focus on deep work. 

6. Create dedicated Office Space

When you set up a home office space that is specifically for your work and nothing else, you’ll inevitably have fewer distractions. 

7. Use Task Lists and Time Management Tools

With no manager hovering over your shoulder asking for updates, you may find it easy to get distracted or spend too long on a particular task or project.

8. Take Breaks

Without the rhythm of an office around you, it’s easy to get in a groove and forget to take a lunch break or stretch your legs with a quick walk.

9. Avoid personal tasks

To be a good remote employee, it’s essential to not let household to-dos take over your schedule. Sure, throwing in a load of laundry during a work break is fine, but make sure you don’t let miscellaneous household tasks dictate your workday. Not only will they ultimately extend your day past your regular work hours, but the constant interruptions will impede your productivity and performance.

10. Exercise Regularly

Whether you go for a run or walk during your lunch break or schedule an online yoga session to end your workday, keeping a regular exercise routine will help you combat the sedentary lifestyle that remote work can lead to.

11. Create a strong support system

Working remotely can lead to loneliness and isolation, but staying connected while working from home helps keep these feelings at bay. 

12. Plan Occasion in a person meetings with team members

While online communication tools will help you build strong virtual bonds, it’s hard to replace face-to-face conversations. Meeting with your coworkers and manager in person won’t always be possible (like during a pandemic). 

This is all what I can say today, but don't worry tomorrow is another day.

Thank you for reading my idea.
