Articulating Your Thoughts I

The Entrepreneur, that woman or man that can see or anticipate a need, proffer a viable solution which brings about "gain" must learn to articulate his or her thoughts.

The mind is the birth place of thoughts, the vital element required for creation. It is through thoughts that every innovation known to man came to be; the meal you just had was the thought of a cook (maybe someone else or yourself), this platform, biznextafrica.com from which you are reading this article is the result of thoughts. Aliko Dangote thought of a cement enterprise and his thoughts have expanded to many more enterprises since then. It is my belief that for one to become a successful entrepreneur, he must learn to articulate his thoughts and imaginations.

Often times when people want to start a venture they worry about the needed capital - "If only someone can see that this business will become successful in just 2 years and just give me N2 Million to start up..." they say to themselves. I thought so too at a time but thank God I chose to have an open mind and learn from successful entrepreneurs and business men whose biographies and books I read.

These individuals started out with the belief and conviction of what they wanted to do. They understood the principle of "seeing" a need and meeting it! This "seeing" has to do with thoughts- generating them and holding them in your mind's eye till it materialises.
