Promoting Small Businesses

In small businesses you sometimes don’t need cash as start up. Although many have argued that it’s not true. It’s true for so many lion hearted small business owners. I can tell from the story of how a friend of mine started his general cleaning business. He mobilized two of his peers to start a house cleaning services. They started by borrowing brooms and mop sticks to clean a just completed building without capital. They were able to buy cleaning reagents and disinfectants from the deposited amount they collected before the job to execute their first startup. This was how it all started for the group. Business can many times start from nothing to something. All you need to do is get off your butt and do something except if your pride stops you. 


Entrepreneurs don't wait for opportunities they go for it or create it. If you say small businesses, I will say it’s the role of entrepreneurs to set the ball rolling for others to play. When you conceive an idea and it becomes small business startup for many others you have promoted small business. For instance If you set up an amusement park, you will need a lot of hand to run it. 

Example: The ice cream joint, the snacks and drinks joint, Suya spot, restaurants, toy store, bookshop, commercial  toilets, video game spots, etc.
We all can promote small businesses by encouraging our youths that nothing is small for a startup. All they need is just the first step which happens when you actually put yourself to it and do something. Make very good use of your time by following opportunities first before your dreams!


“You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.' You must do the thing you think you cannot do.”  ― Eleanor Roosevelt.
