Great things in business are never done by one person. They are done by a team of people- Steve Jobs.
It is a well-known fact that the main aim of dabbling in a business of your own or someone else’s is to make money. Indeed, making a profit is the drive behind every business. And this aim controls both the operations and principles of every organisation. In so much that entrepreneurs and employees employ various strategies just to get customers’ attention. However, in trying to sell products or services to customers, we mostly end up pushing them away. So, many organisations out there with the drive to make the most do not, in fact, draw the attention of the targets. The question is why is this so? Why do businesses with potentials suffer when they could as well thrive? Well, going through the success stories of various successful people brings the answer to fore. And the answer has to do with relationships, the community.
Before we go any further, it would be good to look into one successful uprising company. And that’s VTpass. VTpass is an online payment platform that allows for ease and speed while paying everyday bills. So, rather than change locations trying to pay electricity bills or tv subscriptions. You can easily pay these bills on vtpass.com. Again, you can renew your data subscription as well as buy airtime on vtpass.com. Better still, the new VTpass mobile app for Android serves this purpose well enough. You even get more ease and convenience with its more user-friendly, accessible features.
People are the core of every business. Businesses are based on relationships and relationships on people. I would go to an average restaurant run by amazing people over an outstanding restaurant run by awful people- Marcus Lemonis.
More than profit-making, what defines us at VTpass is our strong drive to build and maintain relationships with our customers. It is not enough to want our customers’ attention without giving them as much attention. So, as a brand, we believe in putting ourselves in a position that strengthens our relationships. This is because we believe that what stands any business out is the ability to start for the money and stay for the community.
And really, this should be a viable model for as many as own good businesses out there. It is quite tempting to want to keep pushing for the money. But looking beyond that and working with your customers to be better edges you more towards profit. So, it works this way. You have a very great idea. Of course, you want to get it out there and make money out of it. Good thing. But you should be ready to build a relationship with your customers and get them to like you as much as they like your business. And yes, when the profit seems to be hanging in the air, this is not a time to pull back engagement. Rather, you should make your involvement stronger. You should stay, and this will definitely get the attention of many. So yes, starting a business with profit in mind is a good thing. But continuing a business for the sake of becoming better for your customers and being their lifelong friend is the best.
This African-American crooner set the Nigerian music industry in flames with his crisply unique voice and mix. His singles, ‘Eko Miami’ and ‘Been Calling’ fine-tuned the indigenity in Nigerian hip songs and brought out a flavour that erstwhile was not in the cooking pot. He is definitely one to watch out for.
Although US based, fine, polished, musically-educated and brilliantly defined Nigerian-American singer, Jidenna has taken everyone by storm with his new sound. And 2018 will be his best year yet. You want to get a whiff of what he has to offer? Then, check out his ‘Bambi’ and a ‘Little Bit More’.
Associating love with thunder and fire is one crazy redefinition of what love is. And this is what Mayorkun managed to bring to the table last year. A redefinition. From his debut album, ‘Eleko’ to ‘Sade’, ‘Mama’ and then, ‘Che Che’, the Mayor of Lagos himself showed himself capable of standing up to the big goons. And for 2018, he definitely promises more.
Tekno ended the year with a controversial but sweet friendship with Drake, the award-winning international rapper. And definitely, something big is bound to come out of that collaboration this year.
Despite the near-tragic note on which Kiss Daniel ended last year, many do believe the talented singer will come out strong this year to give a powerful rendition to music fans all over the nation.
This ‘Maradona’ babe alongside her Junior-boy sister, Teniola Makanaki, has a vocal to die for. And in 2018, they sure will be reeling out more vibes.
It’s easy to get put off when you want to pay for service, and some errors take the place of a well-pronounced page. And although we can attribute this to a lot of external factors. We do acknowledge our part in this just as we recognise the urgency this arising issue requires. In light of this, we do promise that all hands will be on deck to attend to the issues of service errors and delays.
It takes quite a bold leap to trust your payment affairs to an external body. But when it comes to VTpass, you should know that you can put trust on a sail and watch it come back to you unaffected. You can trust us with your resources. And this includes your time and money. We are a reliable brand solely up for the 
Attending to the complaints of a whole lot of people can be quite overwhelming. But at VTpass, we manage to work around this and touch the arising matters of as many as reach out to us. You think we have not done enough? Well, you should be on guard because, this year, we promise to offer 100% support for our customers.
Now, you are going to have an eleventh-hour Christmas celebration so you can’t afford to have your house all dirty and looking like a pig sty. But then, you don’t have all the time in the world to scrub everywhere clean. Well, you have two options in this case. You can either choose to delegate the cleaning of your house to some cleaning company or you can do a surface cleaning. This is more like doing a rub and shine. So that while you do not clean everywhere till they squeak, you can do a little work here and there to make sure your house looks homely and neat.
First off, since it’s already the eleventh hour, then you can’t do it on your own. You have to work with everybody in the family. This is to ensure that everyone’s needs and preferences are put into consideration. Again, you should delegate responsibilities to the people around you. While you do one thing, they can help out in taking care of other things. So yes, for last minute Christmas preparations, you may not have the time to do a secret party or throw some elaborate surprise. But then, better late than never, right?
Now, a late Christmas preparation isn’t usually the time to start digging out a very complicated recipe. Rather, do try to pick a menu option with an easier and lesser recipe. In fact, choose the very basic of all meals. But then, it must still complement the spirit of the season. So, for instance, you can bake a plain or fruitcake, and then, you can prepare pasta or rice with a very tasty meat sauce. There, you have a Christmas meal.
You know, when it comes to gifts and all, there is an advantage to thinking them much later. And the advantage to this is that you get to pick the right ones. There is some sort of anxiety that comes with trying to choose the right present to give to your loved ones. Most times, you eventually go all out to buy a lot of things but most of these things don’t come in handy in the long run. But when you get to choose under pressure, you apparently don’t worry picking the things that seem nice to you. You just worry about being able to give your family and friends something appreciable. And then quite surprisingly, what you feel is very trivial to them would eventually turn out to be something they have always wanted from someone else.
Music, in general, manages to make anything come alive. Use this to your advantage during your Christmas preparations and after. Play your favourite songs and turn up the volume of your stereo. And then dance away with your family. This tunes up your festive spirit and makes your Christmas worth celebrating.
This is the real deal. No one, no season, nothing can make you happy except yourself. So if you want to get in tune with the festive season; if you want to crown your Christmas celebration. Then, you have to be happy. Eat, drink and be merry. Invite your friends and go out with a smiling face. And then, no matter what happens this Christmas, don’t let it get you down.
