MY FIRST BUSINESS AT AGE 4 Skip to main content

A story of my confused state

  2018, I moved to Ogun state and had to seek employment in a school within my vicinity. As a Lagos teacher, I was used to a vibrant class, swift answers and mushy acts by my students. So I resumed at my new work place with that fully charged energy. The first day got me confused. I was to teach the primary classes, I started my class and it was obvious these children were not following. They could neither understand what I was saying nor did they show any bit of interest. It was then I knew I had to start from the scratch. First, I had to create a connection. I wanted them to understand that I am first their friend. I needed to set the foundation that they can have both a friend and teacher in one. After that, I came down to their level. I made them feel and appreciate every little progress they made. I built up their interest in education. We worked together, applying several strategies I discovered and created, and within some month the growth was evident. Eureka is a book that cove

MY FIRST BUSINESS AT AGE 4


I could remember vividly, i was four years old then when i started my business. I noticed my parents were struggling to feed us and since they still had other expenses to cover i knew i had to support them somehow.

My mum had just give birth to my sister Favor, i collected all her medicine bottles ( those one that looks like a feeder) i washed them all then bought milk and sugar which i mixed in a small bowl and filled them all. This i did without telling my mum because i knew she wouldn't approve of it.

I took my products to school the next day and quietly informed my classmates about it and the price, the sales i made was encouraging and i continued selling it till i had no more bottles so it ended.

Though the money realized from it wasn't that much but i was so happy i could afford matches, pencil, Biro e.t.c just to support.

I had a bank then which i owned, i called it WISDOM BANK it was the usual kolo where i do save the petty cash i got from my business, friends, and family.

As a child i was able to give proper statement of how income and expenses flows.

When i see kids hawking out there i always feel the need to help them because i understand the circumstances that warrant such action.

Do you actually know that business i started then if financial investment is made  can turn out awesome.
Think of something, nothing is too weird to be a business

Children have great ideas which only need investment

If you have a children around you, you are damn lucky

Ask them for a business idea and nurture it maturely

Nigeria kids are the smartest only that they are been ignored

Invest in your child today
One thing about the Nigerian child is that they have great ideas but are been discouraged by people saying they are still kids so shouldn't reason that much.
Children are gifts from God
Find that fortune in your child.

THE OTHER SIDE

Am not here to talk an about the other room oh LOL😆😆 this one is about the other side. Please drop your comments, I would love to know how you feel about this post.    I was in church for the digging deep service, when the Preacher started teaching I noticed what he was saying didn't correspond with the digging deep study sheet I was given.  I checked the date of the sheet and it was 18th of October 2016 and the date for that day was 11th. I noticed the congregation didn't look confused like I was so I thought of calling the attention of the usher.  Before I could get the attention of the ushers I decided to turn the other side of the sheet and there it was 11th October 2016 the topic for that day. NOTE: Before I realized the topic been preached was on the other side, the preacher was almost through with the teaching. This singular event opened my eyes to amazing life lessons I would be sharing here. 1) Majority of us have been believing God for a particular blessin

CONDUCTOR'S SECRET

Y e sterday i boarded a bus to work and the conductor taught me a very important life lesson.  When i entered i was the only one in the bus and there were several buses there calling out for passengers but this conductor of the bus i entered did something i loved. He went across the road and started calling for passengers, he assisted some in crossing the road and he carried luggage of others. He also had to persuade some that his bus was going to move immediately they entered and before the twinkle of an eye the bus was filled while other buses were still there. After some passengers dropped he had to call for more passengers, the first two passengers offered to pay less which was ridiculous.  He refused to carry them and the bus moved to another location, getting there he picked passengers who paid exactly what he called.  It got me thinking thank God he didn't to carry those who offered to less.

HOW TO COPE WITH SLOW LEARNERS

I remember my first experience with a slow learner. At first I thought he was just lazy but later I realised it wasn't laziness. He was always quite, doesn't answer questions in class and rarely relate with his peers. Within months of my stay in the school I started noticing some changes in my boy. He now attempts assignment and classwork given. He talks in class and now relates well with his classmates. The trick is to first make them feel safe in class rather than make your expectations a burden to them. Over the years I've had to teach slow Learners and it has been a wonderful experience. The link below is a podcast where I talked on how to cope with Slow Learners. It's a ten minutes audio that summarizes strategies you can put in place when you have a slow learner in class. If you have questions, I'll be glad to answer them. https://anchor.fm/MissDairo%20/episodes/How-to-cope-with-Slow-Learners-ef5bj4 Don't forget to leave a comment and share w
