On a previous post here. we talked about Making a Career Woman and as promised, this is the second part of the series. You could leave your comments, suggestions and questions at the comment box or follow lolo (@Officiallolo1 or @Ogamadamoffice) on any of the popular social network plattforms.

It is no news that more than half of business people in Nigeria complain about the lack of electricity. It is not just a complain, it’s the truth but that should not stop a career woman from reaching her goals and inspiring others. This particular post will not talk about the challenges Nigerian women are facing. However, if you follow this post, you could share the challenges you’re facing with your business on the comment box below the post.

In this post, we would talk about what people could do to discourage you from starting up as a career woman. Do not take these kind of people serious, they could kill your career

1. You cannot do it: This is what has discouraged a lot of bright women over the years. Do not let anyone tell you that you cannot do a business because they can’t or don’t want to do it. People are not the same and you are not them. Seek positive advice and honest opinions from people you trust only.

2. You are too small: My dear, nobody is too small in this century anymore. A lot of young women are graduating from various schools and jobs, every day. Do not take it from anyone that you are small to chase your dreams or change your world. If you are listening to me or reading this, YOU ARE NOT TOO YOUNG OR SMALL.

3. Start with Millions of Money Or Start Big: The Igbo people have an adage that says: “It is only a grave that you dig from the top” and it is true. Whatever it is you want to do, start from somewhere, no matter how little. What is important is that you just have to start. You will learn a lot from there to better yourself

4. Start with a big shop/company: This is not true too. You could start from a smaller place that would sharpen your experience and help you walk your way up.

5. They will not patronize you: Have you ever heard someone saying something like that or something similar? Well, This is more like a curse and you should not take it from anyone. Most of all, don’t believe them, please.

6. Everyone is doing it: And so what? If it is something you love, go for it. You will come out successful than the other people that have been there.

Conclusion: You don’t have to let negativity cloak your dreams. Most of all, whatever it is you start, do it well and finish it. God will reward your efforts

This topic is not over, stay with us for more posts and updates on this topic. You could follow lolo @Officiallolo1 or @Ogamadamoffice and don’t forget to leave your comments below.

A career woman is a woman who takes pride in her career, who chooses to work and often who is successful at her job. Every woman would love to be a career woman but not all of these “wannabes” end up successful, really. We can’t really pinpoint what went wrong on the way but usually, most individuals always has excuses ranging from all kinds of relationships with people or financial supports.

There is a saying that “Anytime you seriously want to start is when you will start” and that is true. What is important is that you just have to get up and begin. You will come out successful, especially when it’s what you love doing.

1. Have An Idea: It might be something you’ve always wanted to do or something you feel people will need. It might even be something people do not know they need. The routine is not to create a business plan (it’s part of it though) but to have an idea of what you want to do or start. Do not frown at your ideas just because the world has not seen it, the people with the most ridiculous ideas are always the people who are most certain of them.

2. Take A Step Further: Define Your Goals. Do you want to build and sell or just start up a small business. Create a working name and the kind of assistant you need, including the kind of workers you want.

3. Make A Decision: Ask your self if you’d like to manage the business alone or get a partner. If you’d like a partner, start with reliable person or the business might crumble before you know it.

4. Write A Business Plan: Write a Business plan! It is important.
“A business plan helps to define what you think you need to launch your business, large or small. It summarizes the sense of your business in a single document. It also creates a map for investors, bankers, and other interested parties to use when determining how they can best help you and to help them decide whether or not your business is viable. There are seriously good books available on writing business plans that cover many chapters, and you should avail yourself of at least one of these as a guide (bookshops, libraries and online are good places to find these)”

• Describe the overall business concept, how it will be monetized, how much funding you will need, where it stands currently, including its legal standing, people involved and a brief history, and anything else that makes your business look like a winning proposition
• Who will you be selling to, and how will you deliver your product? If you are a corporation, LLC (Limited Liability Company), or sole proprietor ship, state that, and why you chose to go that route. Describe your product, its big features, and why people will want it.
• You must know your market if you are to be successful, so spend a great deal of time analyzing just who it is that will want your product, and how you plan on appealing to them to take cash out of their bank account and give it to you.
• As you develop the above sections, you will learn who your key competitors are. Find out who is doing something similar to what you are planning, and how have they been successful. Just as important is to find the failures, and what made their venture fall apart.
• Write your development plan. How will you create your product? Is it a service that you are offering, or if it’s more complex—software, a physical product like a toy or a toaster—whatever it is, how will it get built? Define the process, from sourcing raw materials to assembly to completion, packaging, warehousing, and shipping. Will you need additional people? Will there be unions involved? All of these things must be taken into account

This is one of the most wanted tutorial so far on OkadaBooks App because you would want to delete a book after reading it, especially the free books or the ones you just don’t want to read anymore

1. [Updated] How To Delete A Book On Okadabooks

2. You are allowed to move a book from it’s downloaded folder BUT when you move the book from it’s predefined download folder, you won’t be able to access (read) it anymore from the app (but it will be there as purchased) you’d have to redownload it. The app won’t access the moved file, even if you move it back to the folder you moved it from

3. If you copy a downloaded book to another phone, a laptop or share it, it won’t work (open) with other .epub* readers because books on OkadaBooks are encrypted (see image below)

In conclusion, Don’t move, copy or share a downloaded book from OkadaBooks. It won’t work. You can only delete a book. You can (but shouldn’t) copy or move a downloaded book, i already told you why.

Like i wrote in earlier on a tutorial, All the books you have downloaded could be found there and they are in .epub versions. Blackberry/Android apps rarely comes with .epub readers, I guess its why the app was built with an .epub reader and for now, you can’t delete a book straight from the app but later versions will fix most of these limitations, definitely.

Lastly, if you knowingly or mistakenly delete a book you already paid for, you won’t have to pay for it again, all you need to do is download it. Once you’ve paid for a book, it’s yours on the app, forever. Even when you login from another phone. All you have to do is redownload. You don’t have to pay again.
