Running a business in Nigeria, whether online or offline comes with a lot of requirements, and you must fight all odds to be successful.
Everything, from the petrol prices to unpredictable spikes in price rates and even to the high cost of internet and irregular electricity, everything seems to be against us.

You can however not give in, as there is no acceptable excuse for failing in anything.

The two options in life are, win or you win! Anything legitimate it'll take to grow your business, just do it. I spend sleepless nights working on my websites, and move out in the morning for deliveries.

They are sacrifices and all depend on your niche. We cannot be playing the same roles in different businesses, and your success depends wholesomely on you.

Some of the tips that will help you run your businesses successfully in Nigeria include:

• Remember that you cannot be a boss on your own

Falz said this in his song, 'Man cannot be a boss on bis own, you need someone to give you support on the throne' and yes, it comes out fully in the business world.

Avoid doing things all by yourself, or you might get stuck someday. Whether you're into fashion retailing, own a business centre or any other investment, you need people working with you to make it through.

If you cannot hire people yet, you can opt in for a partnership with your friends or anyone else who buys your dreams and ideas.

• Work hard as if you have a difficult boss who is watching

To own a successful business in Nigeria, you have to put in extra effort. Almost everything, from the sun above our heads to our data bundles, electricity and even fellow humans.

You just have to put in extra effort and work as if there's someone somewhere who is tracking your efforts and would send you packing if you don't deliver properly.

• Keep accurate records of all your finances and expenses

Don't just keep on investing and cashing out without any records, just because it's your business. Keep a detailed record of how much you spend on your business and what you get back.

Sometimes we are deceived because we invest so much into our personal businesses that we do not know when they crash.

Read a lot of tutorials on your choice videos, watch YouTube videos and purchase courses where necessary. In three years time, you will look back to be grateful you went the entrepreneurship way.
