Before the pressure comes on, you must have set into motion spiritual laws concerning the major areas of your life — family/relationships, the work of your hands, and your health.

How would you define business model? Business model answers three questions: 1. Who is the target customer? 2. What customer value do you want to deliver to this customer? 3. How do you create and deliver this value?

Innovations in business models come from these three areas. 1. Rethink the customer. For example, @Apple targeted individuals rather than companies. 2. Rethink customer value. An example here is @Uber. 3. Rethink the delivery of that value. Examples: @zipline & @tizeti.

To build a business that will easily pivot and effectively respond to change, you need to be somewhat doublefaced. You must be committed to the business model and at the same time, be open to change.

When scaling and expanding your operations, don't diversify in too many directions all at the same time. And diversify in related areas, not entirely new areas that are completely unrelated to what you are doing.

Policy shock is becoming a common issue that businesses have to deal with across the world. For example, Amazon and Flipkart had to adapt their business model in India, in response to a government regulation that restricted participation of foreign companies in the retail.

How do you respond to policy shock? 1. Maintain dialogue with policy makers. You may get wind of imminent changes in policy so you won't be caught unawares. 2. Build resilience into your business. 3. Enlist the support of the business ecosystem to plead your cause.

Politicians may create grandiose policies without thinking through the implementation. They need the expertise of business people to create an enabling environment for businesses to thrive. One of the ways to do this is to set up an economic advisory council.

When you're looking to scale your business, ensure that you simplify and standardize your processes and operations. Then pay attention to self-limiting constraints preventing you from scaling.

All kinds of businesses can benefit from value innovation and business model re-engineering. Even in commodity industries, you can create a cost advantage or solve customers' problems that competitors are not thinking about. It could be in the delivery or logistics.

In Physics, a quantum leap occurs when a particle quietly builds energy within, and then suddenly that energy gets to a point that is expressed in a leap. Basically, a quantum leap is a breakthrough that happens as a result of stored up energy.

If you're going to experience a quantum leap, the intent behind that desire must be clarified. You've got to form an image for the Spirit. You've got to clarify the purpose. Why do you want the quantum leap? What is the impact this thing is going to have on humanity?

A desire for the quantum leap can't just be for your personal material advantage. It has to be a significant contribution to the progress of humanity. Will it make people healthier/wealthier? Will it help them become better in their relationships? The intent must be clarified.

One of the most comprehensive COVID-19 interventions I have seen is from FCMB. I am particularly impressed with their important role in providing emergency food relief.

While COVID-19 crisis has forced many organizations into survival mode, successful organizations recognize that business can only thrive by showing active commitment to the health & welfare of the people they serve. See what @MyFCMB is doing, for example. fcmb.com/coronavirus-up…

Many of us are quick to raise a "battle cry" on Twitter when we have issues with our banks. Why don't we deploy the same kind of energy to commend them when they're doing well? See this for example. 👇 fcmb.com/coronavirus-up…

It's so encouraging to see the role that the Nigerian private sector is playing in dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic. Banks like @MyFCMB have especially raised the bar with comprehensive interventions across board.
