People are already looking up to FastPlus to be the next big thing, what are we to expect from your companies?

We ensure to keep providing quality service to our clients and recently we have focused on developing business automation tools that will help lots of online Entrepreneur example of such software are the Virasoci App, OmniSocial, Clickapix and recently OmniEngine. We are also moving our products and services to the international platform this year. So it’s been a good year for us and people should expect more quality products and services from us this year.

Hmmm…. Well, am glad you asked this. The mistake most entrepreneurs make is the “shining object syndrome” what this means is “always chasing the next big thing” there is nothing of such. If you really want to be successful, you need to pick just one business and focus on it until you start getting results….still focus till you are able to build a system around the business before thinking of trying something else out. Also as an entrepreneur, you need to always improve your skills and knowledge by attending training seminars and reading books.

What are your goals for the next 5 to 10 years?

My Goal for the next 10 years is to expand my business here in Nigeria, ensure we get our products into the international market and also diversify into other businesses.

Got some advice for other entrepreneurs and the whole Entrepreneur Nigeria community on starting their own businesses?

Stop chasing what you mostly called “the latest business” instead focus on a business, work on it and don’t give up until you start getting results from it. Any materials or training you are attending should focus on your current business. Work smartly, Be Disciplined, Hardworking, diligent and be closer to God. If you can do all this then there is no way you won’t become successful.
