With all these, you will discover that there are a lot of business opportunities for you
as a student. The most important thing is that, you need to study the environment of
your school very well and find a need to fill.
For example, there was a time in my school that there was no electricity supply for
two weeks, people had to start buying kerosene.
I discovered that there is a need to be filled which prompted me to call a
friend into partnership. We started selling kerosene in my room. Would you believe
that the business lasted for a week before electricity was restored and we had 500%
returns on our investment just for a week? So it could be that easy to make money.
As you follow us on this blog, you will be exposed to the rudiment of identifying
business opportunities and generating business ideas.
“Opportunities multiply as they are seized; they die when neglected, life is a
long line of opportunities”
