STRICTLY FOR YOUNG ENTREPRENEURS

YOU NEED TO SEE THIS!!!

A WISE ENTREPRENEUR SHOULD

AVOID THESE KIND OF PEOPLE

1.      YES MEN:  That’s the closest name I could give to them. They are the kind of people that always tell you what you would like to hear. They either do this out of respect for you or your craft or because they simply don’t care. As a boss or a follower; it is important you have people that are willingly to tell you the truth. Especially when it is bitter. An individual that agrees with EVERYTHING you say or do is not a true friend. 

2.      WHAT IF:  Also known as doubting Thomas… these kind of people are naturally gifted at finding practical reasons why certain things would not work. Once you tell them about a project or an idea, their brain is automatically programmed to look for logical obstacles. They are this way because of fear or past experiences. Once in a while, its “OK” to listen to them, but if you let these kind of people be your confidants, you will NEVER achieve anything worthwhile 

3.      COMPLAINERS:  Yea right… Just the way you have professional “Mourners” in burial ceremonies, there are people that are specialized COMPLAINERS. There is hardly a time you interact with them that they give you any good news. These set of people are ardent followers of News on CNN, BBC, VOA, CHANNELS and many more. They feed their conscious and sub conscious minds with negative reports that they have no choice but to dump such negative reports as complain on you. They complain about the youths, complain about the church, complain about the government, anything and everything they complain about. A heart that complains can never be grateful and an ungrateful heart cannot succeed. 

4.       TIME WASTERS: They come in different shape and sizes. Anyone that doesn’t respect time doesn’t appreciate life. Although it’s almost impossible to see Nigerians or Africans who respect time, but the ones who have attained good measure of success VALUE every second of their time.  People, who always break appointments, are not people to hold close. Such people are constantly filled with EXCUSES; and the number one enemy of growth is EXCUSES. 

5.      SELF Appointed gods:  There are certain people who always believe they know the best for you. Having people that care about you is good, but when their care is measured only by your doing their will, there is a problem.  The support of these kind of people is largely dependent on your willingness to follow them hook, line and sinker. Once your heart desire or plans differ from theirs, they consider it useless and unprofitable.   Its good to receive counsel from others, but when these people find it difficult to trust your visions, dreams or plans, it’s important you keep your distance from them.
