Merry Christmas and happy Boxing Day, it has been an
awesome for me in the past few days, time like these are usually spent with
family and friends and is also time for entrepreneur to do cool business during
the festive season and earn more during the holiday season. For me it’s not
always the same way, as an entrepreneur and also a humanitarian it is also the
best time for me to give back to the community, that is what I love doing.
On Thursday night I had the opportunity to travel
with friends not on business this time but on a health mission where we tested people different rapid test like
malaria and blood sugar test, eye test, check Body Mass Index (BMI) , blood
pressure, physiotherapy session and free drugs. It was an awesome time with my
Christian friends, all thanks to the health profession skill I acquired and
love for humanity. It was also a great opportunity to meet new friends and
learn from them, as an entrepreneur you get to see new opportunities everywhere
you go.
The journey brought back the memories of my last
journey to northern Nigeria where civilization is far from them, Imeko in
Abeokuta, Ogun state is not much different from what I witnessed in the north
few years back, with no visible infrastructure, I was completely overwhelmed
and weird for two days without the use of internet, the world is moving fast
with technology but I was cut off guard that I could still see some rural
communities in the south west of Nigeria without basic infrastructure, I just
kept wondering what life will be as a
digital entrepreneur if am to be residing in a place like Imeko.
This just elucidate me more that I have to take
every chances my way to keep getting better at what I do, as a business man you
don’t let opportunities split away, time is life and knowledge is power. My
take home from this journey was that “technology in itself is not the solution,
but using technology to speed up our systems is a must”.
Happy Boxing Day once again. Wishing you all a
fruitful and prosperous new year in advance.
That is our Business Monday magic for these holiday season.
