Guys Who Kneel To Propose To Ladies Are Stupid

-

My lecturer stirred trouble in class yesterday evening.


It was slowly becoming a boring lecture.


2hours of listening to academic talk is hell for some of us.


Until...


"As a young lecturer my salary was suddenly increased from #3000 to #11000 and then to #40,000."


This was in the 1900's and my bachelor of a lecturer was even paid some arrears that made the money accumulate to about #200,000.


He had never seen that much money before.


Armed with the boldness that comes from a fat bank account, he approached the lady he was interested in.


They already had a fling going on so he just had to be clear on his intentions for her.


The pitch was simple;


"This is money. Are you interested?"


Years after and they are still married.


Now, before you come up with toxic reactions.


Note that this is not my story and you will be wiser if you choose to see the lessons that relates to your business therein instead



There are tons of them but let's do with;


✓ A good offer can be the difference between 2 or 10 sales a day.


✓ Having proof to back your claims is as important as making the claims.


✓ Sometimes, you just have to cut straight to the chase and make your intentions known.


What other lessons are there? Let me know in the comments...

Design: How should it be done for productivity?

Design is one of the three fundamental dimensions of human intelligence. Most people think design is a tool i.e. involving only the use of Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator and other software. It is actually the process which takes ideas through a number of CRITICAL THINKING to creation of prototypes and then to reach an innovative product that targets solving consumers’ problems and addressing their needs. You see!? Design is not about knowing how to use the tools but about going through a process. In my first post about Creativity, I mentioned that being creative gives you the opportunity to try out new ideas, new ways of thinking and getting a problem solved. With this definition, let’s just say Design is the process of using our creativity. So! We have seen what design is all about. Let’s look at this, how do we design? A lot of graphic designers make a mistake of diving into a job on getting it. And most times if not all, this rush in causes a quick rush out. What do I mean by a ru

Brand: What it is and what it is not

As the saying by Aesop goes that "Every truth has two sides; it is as well to look at both, before we commit ourselves to either." I am glad to tell you that BRANDING is not an exception. This is why we will be talking about the topic of Branding: What it is and what it is not. To know what a brand is not, we will have to look at what a brand is. A Brand can be defined as the sum total of experiences of your customers when they come in contact with you. It is the collection of perceptions about you (your business) in the mind of the customer . It involves what you represent to your customers and what they think of you, ranging from the way you respond to their mails, the music they hear when on hold on the phone, your tweets, your logo and so on. For example, when I think of 7up, I automatically think of a quick soothing feeling and when I think of Veleta, I think of Enjoyment…shey you get? Now that we know what brand is, let us look at what brand is not. Please don’t f

A logo they say has to be timeless, able to stay relevant for years, passing out the right emotions in the hearts of people who come across it. For us to be able to achieve that, we have to know the right things about logo before creating it. This is why we will be learning about LOGO today. It is imperative to know very well about logo before starting out to create one…oh yes, I have created logos before I got the knowledge about it too. So, don’t be discouraged. Logo is a graphical representation of your brand. It is that picture that represents the collection of promised experiences which in turn creates a mindset in the minds of those who come in contact with your brand. It is the FACE OF YOUR BRAND. You can see how important a Logo is for a brand. It is what represents your brand to the outside world with your brand name. So, let's talk about the types of Logos that there are. There are 4 major types and we will be looking at each one.   1. Wordmark Logo This type of
