Still on business corrections, I feel proud of myself.

Hello readers you are welcome to my blog once again, today is Sunday and I hope you had enough time to rest I am not used to sleeping in the day time but I really had some good time relaxing and watching a movie today I just decided not to stress myself at all, tomorrow is Monday again and then the running around's will begin.

If you have been reading my blog you will know that I run a physical start-up and because I am one with a soft heart, I have made several mistakes in the process of running the business. There are times when I have acted out of business principles just because I wanted to please my customers and have them always coming around, but I only ended up getting enemies for myself and thus loosing potential customers in the process and also losing money.

Ever since I realized how my actions are taking a bad toil on the business, I decided to retrace my steps and take corrective measures, and like I have been blogging, the corrective measures have not been easy at all, I have had some of my customers get very angry and they stopped visiting like before, then I have had others say very hurtful words to me.

I got scammed recently.

I really do not think that people who have a soft heart should handle a growing business because they may just end up ruining it, the world is really filled with wicked people and the only thing they need to find out is how weak you are, they will use that against you and make sure that they almost get you reduced to nothing.

A customer who had an unsuccessful transaction kept on pleading with me that he needed the money to sort out his transportation fare, his pleading almost resulted to him crying and I was helpless he pleaded and he promised to come back immediately the bank reversed the money and then I fell for his stupid prank and of course he disappeared and his number became unreachable from that time, I felt really stupid and I hated myself for a brief moment but then again I knew that I just needed to pull myself together and make much better decisions.

I am getting more disciplined and I am proud of it.

If there is anyone I do not like to offend it will be people who are around me but ever since I made up my mind against being soft as regards my business my mind was made up for this cause, a woman came to me asking me to give her certain items and she had half of the money at hand, she promised to pay back some other time, I politely told her NO and even after she tried again twice I explained that it was a business protocol that cannot be broken.

People will always take advantage of you until you are clear enough about what your stands are, you need to really be confident in yourself and know what you want then go for it, I really cannot help but wait until when I become a very big, successful entrepreneur and then I begin to lecture young and upcoming entrepreneurs on what they need to know and share the mistakes I have made with them so they will not have to repeat the same thing.

Thanks a lot for reading I wish you the best of this new week and remember to put on a smile all the time. I am @oluwatobiloba
