Bunmi shares eight reasons why your choices are important to your growth as a person and the development of your business. Making the right choice in business and life is not always guaranteed. When a choice does not work out or is not aligned with your purpose, it is important to stop and reflect. Regularly analyzing your business through planning to make informed decisions and considering changes is essential. Set specific, measurable goals to work towards and track progress towards them.

Episdoe #24 - Turn Your Networking into a Revenue-Generating Opportunity for Entrepreneurs 03/15/2023

Episdoe #24 - Turn Your Networking into a Revenue-Generating Opportunity for Entrepreneurs Networking is crucial for the growth and success of our businesses, but so often we fear it because of our desire for instant gratification. When this happens, we focus too much on the results rather than getting to know people and building trust with them. This puts our customers’ needs in second place, which ultimately leads to a lack of success. However, networking is not something that yields quick results; it's a process that takes time as we build relationships and gain trust from those around us. Networking is an invaluable tool for entrepreneurs and business owners. It gives you a platform to build relationships with others who can refer you to potential customers and partners. Additionally, networking provides access to resources like mentorship, funding, and collaborations that can help take your business to the next level.

Episode #23 - The Power of Potential Part Two How Unfulfilled Potential Can Become A Negative Force 03/08/2023

Episode #23 - The Power of Potential Part Two How Unfulfilled Potential Can Become A Negative Force The power of potential is a double-edged sword; it can be an exciting and powerful force to motivate us to reach our goals, but if we don’t manage it correctly, we can burn out. We shouldn't put too much pressure on ourselves to reach a certain level – instead, focus on taking things step by step and celebrating our successes along the way. This will help us to achieve true potential without exhausting ourselves in the process. Having potential is like having the opportunity to become great, but if we don't set realistic expectations for ourselves, our potential can remain unfulfilled. This can lead to feelings of inadequacy and frustration, as well as a decrease in motivation. Through studying, training, and practicing, though, we have the opportunity to reach the limit of our ability to develop and improve. In this episode, Bunmi Ajibade explores the negative impact of unfulfilled potential.

Episode #21 - Focus On One Thing to Achieve Extraordinary Results Continuous learning and growth are essential to your success. However, often as entrepreneurs, we feel like we have to have our hands in everything in our business to be successful, which makes growth and scale more difficult. Yes, our business is our baby, but letting go of the things that are not in our core competencies and delegating them to focus on what we’re good at will help us take our business to the next level.

By delegating certain tasks to your team, you can focus better on the important things that bring in more revenue. Prioritizing income-generating activities is necessary for success.

Episode #13 - Achieve Success Without Passion - Make it Work with Chris Rollins 12/28/2022

Episode #13 - Achieve Success Without Passion - Make it Work with Chris Rollins Passion is a motivational force that fuels us and can often lead to feeling a sense of gratification when we achieve our goals. In business, having a passion for what you do, the people you serve, and the hard work that needs to be done can be contagious and will inspire others to join your cause. But is it possible to find success in doing something you are not passionate about? Do you believe that passion is necessary for success? Many people think so, but not necessarily. You can absolutely succeed in something that you are passionate about, but it’s just as possible to be successful in a field where you have no passion. What matters more than passion is hard work and dedication. As long as you continue to stay focused and put forth the effort needed, there is no reason why you cannot achieve great things in any field.

Episode #10 - How Thinking can Speed up your Business Growth, and how Overthinking can Slow it Down 12/07/2022

Episode #10 - How Thinking can Speed up your Business Growth, and how Overthinking can Slow it Down Thinking in your business can be a double-edged sword. When you are thinking about your business and executing your plans, it will definitely position it for growth and success. On the other hand, when you overthink, overanalyze, or over-plan, you will sabotage your business's growth. This does not necessarily mean it won't grow but will have a slow trajectory. When you are not careful with overthinking (when you take it too far), it can literally lead to a business failure. But what is overthinking? Overthinking is when you think about something too much or for far too long. No one says that you should not think or plan. But when you do not take action over your thoughts, that becomes dangerous for the growth of your business. Overthinking and over-analyzing can lead to procrastination, which is another dangerous mindset that will make you neglect your business. In this episode, your host, Bunmi Ajibade, shares how thinking can speed up your business growth and how overthinking can slow it down. She will also touch on the causes of overthinking and how you can overcome them. Get insights on how to know when you have crossed the line.
