If only we know how bad the economy is degrading globally, we would want to push ourselves to our limit and focus on that our skill or business. Taking it up to the next level. Some persons are still skeptical about the business they own, while some are waiting for the opportunities, they were promised to them by friends or relative and others are comfortable because they have rich people around them that if they place a call, they will answer them.

As the economy is getting worst it is difficult for a responsible adult to go to bed without planning on how to grow his business or how to attract new customers, not just new though but potential customers and business partners that will have big influence in his business. Time waits for no man. Yes, the life is filled with ups and down, but we won't stop trying so that we can have that impact on the existence of man just like how other nerds have done.

You know man, as an adult, there's no time that we won't be worried at all. Whether you're a businessman, an employee or have any type of trade you do. There's always the worry before going to bed on how's going to be tomorrow. I feel that every time and I think that I'm near to my limit and I just want to give up. But as a family person, there's the word give up but we shouldn't be considering of doing that because that's how life is when we see our family growing up and we just want to provide everything for them. The economy globally, no one can't avoid its fall even the rich folks but they've got more privilege than someone who doesn't really care at all but heavily affected with their daily lives. Well, we're here to survive and show them the best of us and upgrade our skills and improve our businesses and anything that we have.

Success doesnt really come or would happen without doing hard work. It isnt something that you could just make some investment or business and wait up for it to succeed or flourish and harvest on the money that you are expecting into on which this isnt really a right mindset to have.If we do talk about success then this doesnt come on easy way, you would really be needing to step up with your game on whatever things that you are getting involved into. You cant really just that anticipate or having that kind of feeling of assurance in speaking about business which we know that it cant really be just that simple on this way.

People would really be usually be having those kind of realizations on the time that they are bounding to fail or having those kind of problems or issues which they havent dont it earlier
and they would really be waiting for things to become worst. This is why it would really be that best that you should really know on what you should gonna do
because if you dont set out those good plans then you are really that putting yourself at great potential problem.

I think it depends on what kind of business you have since daily necessities such as food and other needed services will surely keep going on despite recession since people will need to buy it as it is their priority.

Stepping up your bonus during recession while your business is directly affected might cause you a huge loss since your fix cost might not be covered by your profit since buying power of your customers will be lesser.

Life is wired that way, the universe places a sense of pressure on us and at that, we are in a constant battle for survival at all times, the ability to adapt and align ourselves to that is what makes us independent,  the economy will keep changing and our ability to build ourselves along the many changes the better for us, so we must adjust along with current realities.


There is a global meltdown and many weak economies are getting the most harsh impact of that meltdown A lot needs to be done to put ourselves in a better position to be able to ride along and not allow the worries of daily leaving due to economic crisis.

I think not everyone is called for entrepreneurship.  Some people just prepare the 9-5 work job and they are happy with it (of course as long as they can eat 3-times a day and they are fine).  Some just live their passion in doing charity and serving others.  There are so many occupations that are focused on development such as social workers, researchers, community development, and etc.  I just want to believe that some people just follow their passion - some may say that business is their passion while some have passion for other things.



As the economy is getting worst, the main concern of man is his basic needs.  Does he have enough food to last for the day? Does he have shelter in case of rain or snow? Does he have clothing to survive the weather?  I think you what you really want to say is that there is an ongoing unemployment concern in most countries of the globe and many people cannot find their job to earn income and buy their basic needs to survive for another day.

It's why every people need to become a lifetime learner, you're not only learn when you're school or college, but after you complete your daily activities, you need to have a time to improve yourself and you must be consistent with that.

Most people don't want to become a lifetime learner, they only satisfied with the current skill they have and they will spend most of their times for useless activities e.g. playing games, watching movies etc.

It is good to up your game if you are into skills or you are an entrepreneur. the economy that is degrading globally is as a result of some activities of government across board.  Private individuals and business owners will only strive to protect their own personal business but the bucks stop's at tables of government agencies. Government are the only people that can reasonably assist business entrepreneurs to ascertain sufficient business environment and improve lives and property, if the policies of government are enemical to the growth of any skill or a business, no matter how idealistic that business person is, at some points he/she will breakdown. So as we strive to survive individually and grow our businesses we should also point out those responsibilities of government that will help enhance the growth of business across board.

The serious economy requires serious planning, it requires seeking extra mean to earn more so you can be able to meet up with increasing cost of living. One source of income is no longer enough unless it is a source of income that pays really well enough money to be able to clear out the bills that you have, but if it's not a well-paying source of income there is a need to seek an extra means of income right now step up your game before the economy tramples on you.

The days of having a job for life are gone, business moves quick and adapts to changing situations which can mean losing large chunks of workers in one area while new areas of the economy grow. You need to keep your skills up to date and relevant, so you could more easily switch employer in future. Besides that, you should always be seeking out extra employment and money earning opportunities  outside of your regular 9 to 5 job, as you have to grab these opportunities when they are available - they can quickly disappear.

Sometimes, you may want to push yourself beyond walls that mount your life but people don't just have the means to do it, some don't have the right information despite having skills to porsue what the money. Haven't thought about how graduate of same class all have good results and when everyone is complaining that there is short fall on employment, there are some that do have that job others are complaining of not having, that's because they have the connection and the information at the right time. Networking take you places even if you have the brain to do what you have in the mind.


The hardship is global but I think some places are worst than each other. For example, the United States of America has inflation of 3%, the current inflation rate in UK is 4%, the inflation in Russia is 7.4% while that of Nigeria is 29.9%. If there is going to be hardship, then it's going to follow that manner continuesly and worse for countries that have inflation worst than Nigeria.

Do you really think that telling people to step up their game is what that don't already know? It's like a slap to their faces, as if they are kids, they are not, everyone is feeling the heat of the hardship that's present in my country, they don't have to be told anything.

Many people are family men, they must look after their families in this harsh economy, why should I advice such people when they already trying their bests? Remember, harsh and hard times creates greater men, it's affecting everyone generally.

The best advice I can give those who are struggling is to give in for investment, till today many people still look at investments as a way of throwing away money and yet they can gamble big amount of money away, your investment can bring you are more peaceful future, don't underestimate investment.

You think this is a new thing? You think people who are 60 years old right now did not see changes in their own daily life back when they were working (some are still working). These are the same people who did not have TV when they were born, and have AI right now, and not like they are 150, they are just 60, they can still live a good life and not that old. So all in all, people always see changes, a famous anecdote about the first car being developed was that someone said people will always prefer horses. Just realize that you are insignificant in the grand scheme of things, you do not matter, we do not matter, this isn't a horrible thing, its something that should free you, try to have fun and collect good memories.

when it comes to business, stepping up your game comes in many forms
product, production, people, processes, potentials, partners, patrons, position, publicity, price, profitability (im sure there are more 'p's)
most of the p's are intertwined with each over, changing one can effect on another.

potentials:
this is having a plan for the future, or always be on the look out for opportunities. always have an active ongoing plan that evolves

processes:
this is looking into refining the business. things like efficiencies, training, production methods

people(employees):
much like processes, having the right team and removing the dead wood

product:
much like people, having the right product and changing the product if its not in demand.

production:
also much like processes, changing the efficiency of production or tweaking the product to meet needs. looking at materials cost and manufacturing costs. this can also mean looking for partners to produce it for you at scale

partners:
are there other businesses that can compliment or work with your product to drive demand/supply/popularity

patrons(customers):
looking at your customers.. existing, potential and even those that lost interest. finding ways to gain more customers, meet their needs

position:
this is how big your product is in the market. where its sold, how accessible the product is to the market

publicity:
this is how well known your product is. is it something everyone needs or a niche and how/whom you advertise it to

price:
this is more about finding the acceptable market rate that will get your product to sell with ease

profitability:
this is the accounting. looking at the costs and finding cost efficiencies(other P's).. looking at the markets of acceptable pricepoints. working out profitability and ways to increase it via the other P's
...
always be working on the P's

Once you are an adult, the responsibility you have and stuff that you haven't finished will be stuck in your mind and it makes you overthinking too much when you are going to bed. I've experienced the same problem because I also have the responsibility to maintain something, it just a nature of human behavior when they have something that is not yet finished they want to finish it hence they will think when they are in sleep.

It is because of this that we need to save and invest, the worry about what the next day could bring is very real for a lot of people, but even if you cannot change the economy, you can change your specific circumstances, that way even if you were to lose your job or go through a difficult period in which you do not earn too much money, you can still get by thanks to the money you have saved over the years, personally this is what I do and it allows me to sleep peacefully, as I know I have done my job and I am in a good enough position to resist financial troubles that could derail the life of other people.

To seek for progress and improvement is never a bad thing, but to be one sided is. Many people are believing that business will make you rich which is indeed true, however not in all instances. Many people has the capability to start a business and many people actually did but as we all know, not all businesses are successful. It is fine to dream of having one someday but never chain your future to it alone. There are people who became rich or to be in a wealthy lifestyle because of their work or profession, and some people moved to investment and business field after having a good salary from their job. Eitherway would be fine but if you will be too reliant of business as if there's no ither way then you are seeking for a shortcut. Whether it is your job or business you are having, nothing will be too easy especially when it comes to success.

Not sticking with a single stream of income is already a good thing to personalize. The economy keeps on getting worse indeed but never force things to happen just because you saw the outcome from other people. Before eyeing the result, at least enjoy your journey.

People tend to understand that the effort put in by you is how successful your business will be. That is the main reason why many have been suffering for some reasons that are not up to task. Although sometimes people find planning hard to do, the real thing is not your creating a blue-print plan but how effective and seriously you are going to carry out the planing because even if you create a week-long plan and you don't have that experience to use the plan effectively, you will definitely end up losing and going back to the initial point that you started, which means you will definitely end up poor again. 

Although only hard work pays in the hard way and smart work pays in the smart way, when you combine the two together, you will find your success as fast as possible, which is just the solution, seeing the economic fall around the globe entirely. 

I think as parent or a individual, we known what is coming already as we are still recovering from the pandemic 4 years ago. When we started to go back to our normal, everyone saw that the whole financial world is on the brink of collapse due to this. But we can't do anything about it as there are no jobs or those who have, barely survived.

Well that's life, take it or leave it. We have to wake up everyday, grind hard so that we will have food to earn in the table for our families. And we really have to face it head on. As business owners, we need to be innovative to stay in the game as you have said. It's going to be ugly in the next coming years. But as humans we all know that we can survived, we know this for a fact as our ancestors too has face worst but they were able to go on and continue.

That's why they say the grave yard is the most wealthiest place on earth because of the unfulfilled dreams and countless wishes left unanswered.
I love the aspect of stepping up, but one thing too is that if one don't have friends who share similar ideology of wealth or money making scheme, one might just be stuck on an old idea that refuse to grow. Perhaps it could be an old business that has failed to or still struggling to thrive and with worsening economy, stepping up the game might mean more debt or more hardship just to survive and make a dream or upgrade a business to a reality where it pays.

There's this popular saying by the majority of my countrymen, and it's said, "double your hustle." Successful entrepreneurs are usually very rich and can cope in the face of high inflation, but most salary earners are the ones that get affected most, especially those of them whose salaries are not even that significant. What I just know is that not everyone has the ability and energy to double their hustle; some people will definitely be lazy, no matter the amount of motivation you give them.

I am a businessman today, not because I studied it in school, but because I just learned the skill from my grandma. Not everyone has had that opportunity, or some have misused it. Although business is not even easy to run because there are usually some challenges that can even cause the business to crash, it just takes your effort, persistence, smarts, and the passion you have for that thing. If not for some other stuff I had, I almost ran out of business last year, but I just didn't allow that to happen.

In conclusion, I would say that those who are in the part of the world where the inflation rate is very high, raising the cost of living so high too. Let people who find themselves in such a place "double their hustle." Don't only be bent toward one source of income; always diversify and look for greener pastures.

If you want to live and be competitive and productive as you wanted to be, then never stops working for your own progress. Always chase the different opportunities around and never miss any of them. That way, you can maximize living your life with the kind of life you wanted to achieve.

If you want to explore some sort of business or investments, then never be afraid to take some risks even if it means losing at some point. Life is uncertain and we don't have hints what will happen in the future, so always take advantage of the different opportunities that knocks your door as you can never tell if they will still be around the next day.

To me I always have the mindset that every man is the architecture of themselves or of their lives why because whatever thing you take serious becomes effectives in your life but to whatever you don't take so serious becomes casual and there will be no yielding results. When a man is tired of their condition and situation no one will asked them to go out for job or to start up a good business for themselves, with the situation of the country i think if a man doesn't work harder there will be a time where they have to go hunger strive by either starting to beg to feed themselves.

Well when the economy's rough, people kick it up a notch like hustling to boost their skills and businesses. It's a hustle to attract not just any customers but the ones that can really make a difference. In these times, there's this itch to plan and grow especially when bedtime hits. Just have to make those moves, connect with the right folks and leave a mark like the cool nerds before us

As adults, we are already force to face the real battles in life. If you are weak, you will never see progressive changes in your life, but if you are brave enough, you will always have an edge over the others. Now, seeing the economy in a negative position, it's the best time that we have to establish our own source of income. Most especially if we are breadwinners, then we should always be resourceful and should not focus only on a single job.

Investing is the key. Have an investment that gives high probability of profits, rather than taking some risk and yet you will never have the chance to gain and benefit. Don't gamble on your investment, but always be creative to promote your business or investment so that if ever you prosper and achieve you desired profits, at least there are also high chances that you can share your investments to those people who are also interested to learn and be in profits in the future.

in this life, everything is a challenge. it is up to you how you will deal with everyday challenge and continue to go on with your life. as we deal our own battles, we are learning also how to embark each bottleneck we are facing with. and if you give up, i believe, you won't see the light at the end of the tunnel but misery of life. because in that case, you may find yourself in miserable situation for not helping yourself stand up for whatever challenge this life is giving to us.

current society requires us to keep striving for better results, even big companies always up their target, us the average people have no option but to keep pushing our limits.
having creative thinking to keep developing our business, further growing our business, creating many sources of incomes, as well as increasing the current income rates.
its always in our mind as an adult, but its gonna be really tough journey everyone is doing the same thing and competition is fierce.
there are many people that willing to bet their life for life changing opportunities, but what can we do, just focused on being better than the other people so that we can live comfortably.
but life is always competition from the start, those that said its not a competition, will be falling behind until they realize that they need to change something.

Life is so hard,if life wasn't hard,we wouldn't have learnt a thing or grow in the first place.Life gets shorter and shorter with time and its important to make the most while it lasts.Whatever it is that you can engage in legally to put food on your table or guarantee you the best life that You deserve,embark on it.Do what you can to live within your means.
  Its not okay be stranded and being stranded prevents you from been accessible to activate whatever opportunity that is in circulation.The government is not responsible for your personal achievements and information,whereas,also ensure that you're useful and productive till your dying day.

I believe everyone have their purpose in life and what they are looking at to achieve in the future. For some that have their life already established for them before coming into the world will not bother themselves thinking about how the economy will cause them not to have a comfortable life for themselves. If you are not given birth to with a silver spoon, you’ll work 10 times to achieve what someone in that position will do. The riches is most time built by the originator of that wealth, those that are his benefactors don’t really work hard to see how to uplift the wealth since they’re born into it. Only few think wider and wiser to make a means of more sustainability and expansion of the wealth if they wish to.

When the originator of the wealth is gone, most benefactors can’t take control of the affairs of the source of wealth until they make one of the workers with plenty experience the new overseer of the company if not it will crash to the ground like it never existed. What I am getting at is that; most rich people benefactors don’t hustle more than the ones that are not born with a silver spoon, it is just that they’re born into the established system which they continue to leverage on for life.

In terms of trying and improving skills and doing business, it's actually not only when economic conditions are bad. Because in any condition, anyone who wants to feel pleasure through the success of the business they run must always start from a business accompanied by special skills to make the business more developed in every condition. This is due to the level of influence that is so difficult when every businessman only tries hard to improve anything in difficult conditions, because the difference that will be felt is definitely very real for those who are struggling in good conditions and those who are struggling in difficult economic conditions.

The economy is not degrading globally. The inflation is largely getting under control, the economy is expected to continue growing globally (even if it's supposed to happen slower than before). In my country, the situation is improving a lot, compared to 2023 and especially to 2022. So it's not all getting worse, and sometimes it might be good to wait a bit and see where things are going, instead of rushing blindly and making a risky decision. Knowing when to stop and think, and when to act, is very important is a dynamic world we live in.

I mean there was no other way around it if you want to get rich you're gonna need to start a business at some point it would depend on you but mostly sales is the best business that you could start easily. Also, not just business skills I would suggest also learning financial literacy because as I learn about it I realize a lot of things and that is when I change my mindset about money, how I am going to save and invest my money, etc. In my opinion, it is learning how we are going to manage our money is one of the most important things so that we know what we are going to do, most of the systems are really broken and its already set up for you like to spend, banks, etc wanted you to spend your money, use their credit cards, etc just to persuade you to spend your money and if you're not careful you're going to fall in the there trap, but if you know what is going on you could avoid this thing and only buy what you needed or only buy what you can afford not buying what you can't and dont need as well.

I wholeheartedly agree that time waits for no man, and even during economic downturns, continuous improvement in our skills and businesses is crucial. True success often arises when opportunity meets preparation, so standing out from the competition is essential. By actively honing our skills and seeking out innovative approaches, we can create a unique value proposition that sets us apart and positions us for success, regardless of the economic climate.

The economy is degrading globally? The global GDP had a growth of 2.7% for 2023 and it kept growing the past several years.
I don't know about the current economic situation in your country. The fact that your country's economy isn't going well doesn't mean that the global economy is in a downfall.
I don't get the point of your forum thread. Getting your sh*t together is the most generic advice ever. It seems to me that you are just wining and complaining about the current situation. Was is easier for the business owners in the past? I don't think so. Running a business has always been hard.

It’s not just business owners that need to worry about the economic climate. Salaried workers need to worry too, the economy is not doing as well as it has in recent years & when that happens we are at risk of recession. There could be a lot of job losses so it’s a good idea to prepare for the worst. You need to try & make yourself indispensable to the work force. Take up any courses that add a string to your bow. 

I don't even know how the global economic condition right now, but with the condition in my own country I am no longer have so much ambition as 5 years ago. I currently just be enough with having saving for my kids education until college and also still trying to save some money so my kids will have some money to start their career or their own business. I used to have some dreams to own some multi branch company but then covid hits, and the recovery is extremely difficult, so now I won't be too naive, and just trying to do my best.

Everyone will of course be worried if they experience bad economic conditions, for workers it is possible that they will lose their jobs because the company where they work cannot afford to pay them and before this all happens it would be better for us to prepare ourselves so that we can survive in bad economic conditions, if we like a business that can give us income, it would be very good if we continue to develop this skill so that we can still earn income when experiencing bad economic conditions.

Those that prepared well some years ago will not feel this global economic crisis, because they learned a lot from other people failure that made them to vow never to invest on one source of income, and all the investment they have invested in the past are all working well. Business is not a something you will just start a day without you have the knowledge of the business, which I have seen many people like that in my environment but at the end they blame the business or the capital they used to start the business. I believe many adult have learned their lesson from pandemic that collapsed many businesses all over the world, based on people never thought such thing will happen globally to frustrate business owners.

I think over the years, the economic situation in most countries across the globe have really not been nice, as a man that is trying to make a living and don't want to continue being down, just need to keeps on putting in the work by adding another source of income, so as to be able to withstand the financial challenges today's activity demands. Just look at how costly the price of things are, at the market, you will be wondering how possible did the government want us to survive like this, that is why as a individual, we need to look for a way on how we can navigate our way around this economic hardship in the land, so adding another source of income is one very good strategy that should not be over looked.

Well, it is very true for companies in the IT sector, because you see technology changing more rapidly with technology.

Just look at the lightening speed that AI technology has changed in just a few months.

You either adapt or Die in the IT industry... because technological development is very fast. (Crypto falls in the same industry)

The crisis that is coming will be mass starvation, not economic distress.   

When food (and doubly water) become scarce, those that prepared will still face massive price hikes, if not complete shortages.   You can't eat your crypto. 

Preparing should mean taking some of your savings today and investing in a hidden shelter with surplus army rations.

OP in as much as I know that success doesn't come for free, man must put extra effort to be successful in life, the world in general is facing hard times more especially African countries, I don't want to sound as if am discouraging anyone but do you also understand that some people don't have what it takes to move to the next level, as we are here most of us have many side hustle but you can't say that other people are not hustlers you are lucky to have one, though in other to move to the next level, you must live up to expectation that if you have what is expected of you, as a business person you should always come up with some strategy to outsmart your competitors that's the only way you can grow in the business settings.

Of course we have to go through a process to achieve success and we have to be patient with every process we have to go through, because without going through the process we will not be able to achieve success and we have to work hard to achieve what we want because if we only do what we can then it is very unlikely that we can achieve such success.
Running a business requires a strategy to be able to make the business we build develop well. When we have a good strategy for the business we run, we will be able to develop the business well.

Businesspeople not only have to think about how to attract new customers, but the most important thing is how to retain existing customers so they remain loyal customers of our business. And we also do this not only during difficult economic conditions but also during normal economic conditions because thinking about this is normal in developing a business and maintaining a business. But in problematic global economic conditions like today, all companies still have the potential to gradually lose their customers due to recession or decreased purchasing power. And it's no surprise that more and more businesses are closing now. Because decreasing purchasing power can actually be more terrifying than inflation itself.

Dependencies is likely to be false hopes and settling for less is the broken down of a man that profers him disappointments at his dawn.
Although we complains of bad economy and hardship in towns making lifes unbearable but yet there are still some persons out there who cheers to the same economy system at a count that it is being favorable to them.
But perhaps, we just need to spend our funds while considering our income volume so that we don't attest to lean on competitive expenditures.
It is not just about planning a life for today that is required but also includes tomorrow for after now, there is later. So, it is something disturbance for a common man to fold its hands and give up to the system that is potentialed to ruin your life.

Yes, everyone thinks about the current difficulties for those who are experiencing them, but those who are not experiencing them, seem to think that everything is fine, because it will not have a direct impact on their lives, for example a bankrupt businessman whose family is affected will suffer greatly because they suddenly lose their decent life.
Therefore, many people are trapped in such a situation for a long time because they have never experienced it.

Considering AI is growing immensely, I have been saying to my friends that you should consider it as a tool and start a business in that regard. I know that many people have very little time these days and that is why it becomes something very tough to handle but that is just how you could go on.

If you do not do that then you are not going to gain anything from it, there should be nothing that would make sense at all. I personally believe that the best thing to do in this case would be just making sure that you start with the highest technology, the most recent one. Sure you will not be great at it at first, and sure the product will not be great right away, but with time you will get better and better without a doubt.

I agree that businesses that fail to keep up with the latest technology trends may find themselves at a disadvantage. To avoid being left behind, it's important to take advantage of new technology and stay updated with the latest advancements. Those who don't keep up with the latest trends may find it difficult to remain competitive and may eventually be forced to close their business.

When you do have a business then on the time that you have started, then it doesnt really stop there.This isnt really just like on putting or establishing one and then leave it and wait for some income or profit.
Business doesnt work on that way on which it would really be needing that good management, planning, marketing and other relevant stuffs that you would really be needing for it to make it big.
Dont make yourself that simply stick into those ideas that doesnt contribute out in overall progress and development. If you do live in contentment on what you are now when it comes to finances then its your choice
but we know that human beings doesnt have contentment on which on the time that they've seen opportunity for them to become rich then they would definitely do it.

It is really just that matter of action and choice on which it would really be that reflecting out whether you would succeed or not but to think that not all would be
guaranteed but at least you have done on whats something that you should gonna do.

The belief that everyone who doesn't "hustle" as hard as you is lazy is wrong. I want the best out of life and I have to work extremely hard for that to happen, but some people are okay with where they are even though they don't have up to what I have. They're happy.
To me, life is not about how much money you make, it's about how happy you are.
Making money makes me happy, so I try my best to make money. For someone else, it may be something else, so I'll have no issues with him if he doesn't go after what makes him happy.
As far as the person is not struggling just to eat, I think we should allow people to do what they want.

Not everybody dreams of being a millionaire, some people just want to live a quiet life and make just enough to take care of the people they love and they're very happy and comfortable with that. I can't live like that, but I respect it. Everything shouldn't revolve around money.

The thing is, I have a belief or saying in this current situation: "If you are content with what you have right now, then you will never get far." What it means is that with the current situation right now, the inflation rate is getting higher, goods and all things in society are becoming more expensive, and if you are just content with what job you have, or in short, you are content with the minimum wage, then you will only limit yourself to what you can have. So as long as you can build a business or have an investment so that you can have more money to supply your needs and wants, aim higher, and become more ambitious, but of course with the right purpose, I'm too ambitious to have my own business or investment that can save me in early retirement from doing a corporate job. That's what makes me keep going forward and doing my best as I can in order to achieve my goal. Want to have a better life? Then be a little more ambitious and set a goal to achieve.

Well, at that point, you are right; as the day goes by, we get old. As for setting up a business, it's easy as long as you have capital for it. The only difficult thing is building customers for our business, which will be done in reality. And also in the business that we will build, the real skills in managing it are measured.

That's why there is no business that succeeds that just happens in an easy time; there is no such thing; instead, we really need to persevere, be strong, and be full of our determination for this, and above all, we have a passion for this as well.

Can't agree more. Though money is an essential asset to have to survive in the modern world, but not everyone is blessed to be in a position where they earn more than the rest of everybody. I won't call a person "lazy" if he makes enough money for him and his family and decided to just stick to the kind of living for a little while, even if he doesn't have millions in his bank account. I call them happy and contented.  But as the growing demand to earn more these days because of the inflation, I think everyone will be forced to make another step to continue to stay afloat.

Not everyone is chasing hard to become a millionaire, yes those are the kind of people who work really hard to get to the top, but we can't just call the others lazy who doesn't want follow their footsteps as well.

what makes a person a responsible adult is the ability to manage whatever privilege one is entitle to and still continue pushing himself to the peak as though you don't have a dime privilege. One thing i always tell myself is that regardless of what my friends or relative have financially, I assume I don't have access to it because the moment you start looking at the success of your friends as yours, you are going to become to relaxed and might bot be able to up your game as much as you ought to. Times are hard and the economy situation isn't friendly at all. The best thing you can do to yourself Is to cease every opportunity that comes your way and give it the best shot you've got knowing that you are all you've got.

It is not easy to survive in this time we found ourselves but one still needs to do something about this hard economy than to fold the hands and watch. In this hard economy it is not easy for business people, the price of things keeps on increasing everyday and many business people takes loan in the bank just to keep their business going to see that they ate doing something that can help put food on their table.

Many people never expected that we will get to a point like this that the economy will be struggling this way. The people that won't be affected that much in this economical problem are those who have already planed ahead even before this difficult time. In the time of inflation,  it is a difficult time to go into business because in business you need money to put in to make the business go well, but during inflation period it is difficult to have much money to pump into business.

Keeping up with the brand new technology stuff is also not cheap, and not every business has abundant cash, or all paid debts. Imagine that you had a rough period, like sickness or something, so you had to take out a debt, and you paid that back, but while paying, the tech improves, and you need to grow. I have a friend like that right now, he has a game designer, he makes games, and he makes A LOT of money, but because he had a 8 month period where he couldn't work due to sickness, he made insane amount of debt, thankfully he always had good credit score so he got a huge credit card limit and got a huge amount of loan, he is paying it all back now by working hard.

However, he wants to learn AI a lot, and tries to find time, and does a bit of it, and can't really spend a lot, because he has to work and pay that debt back. If technology improves and leaves him behind, what could he have done? He had no choice.

You've got a point; it's time to hustle, to grind, to push past those limits. Your mistake is that it's not simply about hustling. This is strategy. You talk about skill and business like willpower is enough. It won't. You need a robust, foolproof plan. Skepticism is expensive, but blind optimism? Just as awful. Waiting for buddy promises? A one-way ticket to Nowheresville. Relying on your affluent friends? That's leaving your fate to others

Leveraging your connections and growth is key. Potential clients? Influential business partners? They won't knock just because you work hard. You must draw them with value, creativity, and solutions that shout, "I'm the one you've been looking for". Though time is ticking, panic is not a plan. Slow down, analyze, then attack. The economy rewards results, not attempts. Get smart, get strategic, and stop waiting for the game to swing your way. DIY game change

Well, said man, a clap of hands for you. I don't have any doubt about some things you have said, and at the same time, I respectfully do not agree with everything you have said. Aside from the one statement you have only quoted, there were a lot more I said, but there was no place I made mention that "whoever is not hustling as hard as me is a lazy person." If that was actually what you understood from everything you have read, I wish to inform you that that was not what I was asking anyone to do. 

Like you have said, "some people just want to live comfortably and be happy, and everything should not revolve around money." Can you talk about things you can do successfully and efficiently in this world without money? Just give me a little glimps of how you can be happy without money or how you can live comfortably without money? Almost everything we do in this life requires money, bro. 

There is a saying that shelter, clothing, and food are the primary and basic needs of man, so can you acquire any of these primary needs without money? Even if you are living in the most undeveloped region of the world, you still need money bro and there is no way you will earn money if you site at home all day and do nothing. 

You are right to say that "not everyone wants to become a millionaire." But do you suggest that anyone also pray to be poor? Some people just want to live a comfortable lifestyle, like you said, but even if you want to live a comfortable lifestyle, it doesn't just come by sitting at home and doing nothing; you definitely need to work, bro. 

In the past years, $100 could actually buy you a lot of things in the market or when you go shopping, but try to go buy things now, and you will see just a few things you will get for $100. Things are changing; it's no longer less expensive and there's less inflation as before. Things are changing very drastically these days, and the cost of living is getting higher every day. That's why I said no one needs to relent now. People need to double their hustle; it's their responsibility and not mine. 

Some of these category of people are very poor when you meet them one on one and it was the because they focus on other people to help them just like how some graduate fails to learn skills while they where in school and now they are done schooling they don't have any government job and they also done have any skills they will use to support themselves financially.
It's not good to depend on someone no matter the promises the person promised you even though he's your relative you don't have to depend on him or her because humans can fail anytime but when you are taking good advantage of every single opportunity that comes your way you won't be able to depend on someone for a living. It's hard to make money these days that's why one have to work very harder to meet up with everything. There's no way one would work and not earn a living, but before you earn a living you must work to earn it.

Lots of businesses are crashing this period because of inflation, customers can no longer afford commodities and services like they used to, their purchasing power is declining by the day. No where is actually safe, it only takes dedication and commitment to remain in business. This is why i will always opt for investments in digital assets like Bitcoin. These investments are not affected by inflation and the investors have higher chances of making huge ROI. While working hard to provide for our daily needs,  we should also work hand to secure our future because with the way the economy of the world is going, we cannot be certain that the economic conditions of the future will be favourable to us.

This is why working is important, you should work as hard as possible, but also smart investments and debt placements are important too. If you can use debt to your advantage, then you could do fine. I have been playing with loans a lot in the recent years and for me it looks like it is going to be quite obvious that it will not be all that bad. I get that it is going to be a bit of a tough situation, but it is not that bad, and we could do it as well as we possibly could.

This should be the most important part, if we are doing fine, then we are doing fine, and that has to be the important part. The situation we have in our hands, is that we are going to end up with a much better result eventually, by just working as hard as possible and figuring out how to use loans.

I agree with 'working on it' which should be a must. Also with the idea that many people are having desires of owning their own business however, things are not easy. As others have mentioned, inflation affects a country's economy, then that could also affect the overall status of businesses. What I have in mind is to not be 'one dimensional' because of the 'graduate' thing. Problem with economies are not being able to support all professions, leaving graduates on the average. However, an individual has a choice which is whether to develop new skills and create new opportunities for them to make a better living. Alo the idea of stepping up your game; you need to be more in order to earn more. It is just unfortunate that adjustments should be done by people and not the governments when it comes to careers. Nothing's easy for sure but it will all require initiative to adapt with every situation, for better and for worse. Trying is just fine and what's not is to never make an effort to give yourself a nice 'break' you've been waiting eversince.

Of course, I understand that. It's important to keep up with the latest trends, but there are some things we need to consider especially money. Every upgrade or change we make to follow the trend will require a significant amount of money. Therefore, it's crucial to identify this issue and consider it while making any decision.

Most of us already knows it or aware of the economy situation, it is just that most of us don't care about it like what you've said.
Those who are struggling or wants to gain kore would do what they need to achieve it, think of a way how their life would be better, but for those who are already contented with their life living with a minimum then they would just continue to do what they are already doing, the problem with it is that they would only see how bad it is when they face a certain situation that requires them more than what they have or some emergency cases that they need a big cash.

I don't think I said people can survive without money. If I did say that, then I was wrong. Everybody needs money, everybody needs to work for money. All I'm saying is, not everybody wants as much money as you and I want.
When I say some people want a comfortable life, I don't mean a life where they won't work, I mean a life where they go about their normal businesses or jobs and they make enough money to be comfortable.
When I say "everything doesn't revolve around money" I don't mean people don't need money. If everything revolves around money then only the rich would be happy.


You can also work hard and make more money yet be faced with a situation where the money you have can't solve that issue or an issue that would drain all the money you've worked for.
It's just how life is. It ain't scripted.
I don't know about you people but the ultimate thing in life is happiness. As long as a person is happy with what he makes, he doesn't complain, he pays his bills, and doesn't have any pressing issues that need money to solve, I believe he's fine.

It's not wrong if you say that money is for almost all lines of change which generally require that, but that doesn't mean that everyone who has a little money can't follow the latest trends and also adapt them to existing changes. Because smart people who can take advantage of any opportunity can always follow the latest trends and big changes in this world, even though they have to take slow steps, but always find certainty. So all of this is not just about money, but also depends on a strong desire and determination to make it happen better.

Globally we are now in a bad economy and this bad economic situation can be seen in almost every country in the world. As you can see, it would be wrong to say that because we are already seeing a bad economic situation. After the corona virus is gone, it has become a new epidemic for us. If the state of the global economy is like this, then it is definitely a bad news for us. We have to find out the way out of economic crisis and we have to find the way out and use those ways properly. Just as there is no point in trying after the game is completely out of hand, there is no point in trying after the economic situation has taken a turn for the worse, instead we have to try and be prepared in advance.

Our economy is getting worse by the day the only thing we owe ourselves is to work harder and improve our skills and stay focused in whatever thing you find yourself doing do it well, and let your dedication and determination take you to greater height.                                                   

because the only person who can hold you back is yourself, so strive to be good at whatever you lay your hands on and show the world what you're truly capable of and never settle for mediocrity and let not forget no one is coming to save us not our brothers, sister, uncle, aunty or any relative.

This has to be done, often I see people complaining about the economy and how they cannot get a good job, and while they are right on their assessment of the situation, that is all what they do, and complaining does not fix their problems, if they want to improve their lives they have no other option but to work as hard as possible to make this a reality, but if you were to tell them that they will immediately claim they have no reason to do this and shift the blame to the government again.

Stop continuing to complain about the circumstances and conditions you are experiencing. You complain, even though you still have a pair of legs to keep walking. And you complain, even though you are still given health to be able to continue trying and working. Come on, get up because complaining is useless and won't solve anything. Come on, wake up because every mile starts with the first step. Therefore, keep going further and continue to hone your skills and become someone who is an expert in your field. And when you fail to take advantage of the opportunities that come to you to achieve success, then create those opportunities again. because even though it is true that opportunities do not come twice, opportunities always come to those who dare to keep trying. where when you keep trying and keep trying, there are two possibilities, success and failure. And if you just keep quiet and keep complaining, then there is no possibility in your life, apart from being someone who fails.

The current economic conditions are indeed difficult, but that does not mean that this should be a reason for us to continue to remain silent and mourn a life full of suffering. Because you have to remember that the best motivation for you to get up so you can go further and fly higher is the difficulties you experience. And remember, nothing is instant, everything has a process and stages. Even instant noodles must be cooked first before they can be enjoyed.

Failing to plan yourself or step up your game is a sign of irresponsibility as an adult, our current world is moving faster than ever, technologies that are been introduced everyday are far into the future, just see how ai has advanced, much information and knowledge has been given to robots, developments and knowledge are vast increasing even our knowledge of the stars and planents.

What I am trying to point out is every person that wants to stay ontop and remain afloat must continue to grow, any day You take rest the world has left you a mile away, gone are the days when making millions of dollars in a day was impossible, people do it currently by one means or the other, every man is currently under a certain pressure by the society at large to meet up with some level of life and needs, even getting a girl is quite the task in our time if your not up to a standard.

The solution here to go to bed in peace is building a system that can guarantee that you continue to grow, by system I mean patterns like setting a time to read daily, pray , workout and think. This are the necessary thigns every man must do to stay on track in life, and I mean women too, can you claim to be a feminist if you are depending on men, bullshit you must meet up with life yourself.

Things are getting hard day by day and this is not the time that the government have much to offer,  i think it is best for one to step up his or her game to think how to survive in this current situation.  Hoping and waiting for the goverment that things we get better is a wrong decision to take and may end one to regret. Their are lot of online skills one can hold on that will generate good income in this difficult time than having much expectation from the government.

No matter what state the economy is in, there are hundreds of new dollar millionaires getting printed every day. It is because some people know how to get rich no matter what the financial situation is. Do people stop drinking water just because the economy is bad? No. Do people stop taking their pills? No. Do people stop eating? No. I just gave you 3 business ideas. They print money no matter what happens in the world. They don’t give a shit. They keep making money. In this globalized world, it is almost impossible to fail if you are smart.

Figuring out how to get better is not really a shocking new thing, it has been a thing for decades and I think it's overstated. When you are in a business, it could be a job, a company you own, or even crypto trading, if you do it long enough then one part of your job is to use the new stuff. You think that developers and graphic designers are not looking into AI at all? They work with it every single day to get better, most of the great AI users that you see today are people who had jobs in the field.

Of course there are rare situations where ones who are in it do not look and the ones who are out tries to start looking into it, but those are rare cases. People who have jobs that have new tech, will always take a look at it all the time, not a new thing.

even university is free for online enrollment these days, the world aren't lacking opportunities for people that truly seeks one.
there are so many things that could be life turning moment for us if we are willing to spent that 3-4 years getting a degree to upgrade ourselves or at least that courses where it only costs few dollars or completely free if we are student at certain educational instution we can definitely take advantage of it at this point we can be whatever we want to be by learning online except certain job that require proper training or study like medical or anything thats truly practical but most of the time online degree suffice.
thats the situation right now if people realize, but i've seen many people busy talking about their sad life meanwhile they can just sit in front of their computer learning certain skill for 3 months straight and become the new them. people should realize honestly.

Survival is your responsibility, no one is going to come to your rescue because they are all busy doing the same for themselves, and even if they can, it's their choice if they want to save you or not, and if they decide not to do that, you should have your survival plan. It's difficult, no doubt, but it's doable if we put in a lot of effort. The competition keeps getting harder over time and as stated in the title, we need to up our game to stay on the top.

No matter what we do, we need to make sure that we are doing things in a different and a better way than other competitors around us so that we are not neglected by the clients and customers so that we stay in business even if there is a lot of competition. You will get lost in the dust if you can't handle the storm.

As the economy is getting worse so one should work for the betterment of economy of their respective countries rather then just trying to earn money for themselves and get richer. As a whole we have to believe in things like "a united nation", yes we have to earn for ourselves also but it's very important to consider this point that the urge of getting richer should also be beneficial for the country as well because individual life have a impact on the country

We should take care of our businesses and the job holders should try their best to perform and cope up with this crisis but this cant help for too long, we have to move towards the solution of this crisis which is better strategy and best leader to elect for country

Today the world is going through a great economic recession. In order to live through this evil thought and to cope with the rate at which the cost of living has increased, we have to take our work level a step further. Otherwise, you have to fall on your face.

Surely none of us would want to fall into this situation. So we need to raise our game level or skill level. The way you can improve your skills or level up at work is to improve your daily life. That is, you will make your present beautiful and creative. I may sound clumsy. But my logic in this case is if you can make your present beautiful then your future is bound to be beautiful. And this is how we raise our game by beautifying our present.

Things are getting hard doesn't mean you should fold your hands and look other progressive ones than to take a good step to leave your comfort zone to learn some skills that will be fetching you money that will make you not to experience what other people are experiencing in this inflation.

Even the government, many people are looking up to has failed people in this heavy inflation that make the cost of living very high compared to last year when someone can use small money to buy food items that will take the whole family a month and, who know how next year will be and it will be a good thing for people to have small scale business if they don't have money to invest in wholesale business.

There is global food inflation around the globe but inflation are minimal in some places, look at Argentina for instance, how they are struggling to revive their economy from one of the worst moment of inflation, it's not like the suffering from economic break down of countries is everwhere and the effect can't be the same, it's different from one country to another, you don't expect a country with 3% inflation rate with another country that has about 29% inflation rate.

Let's even assume that the inflation rate is global and things are bad, don't you think businesses will not survive. You can't enjoy doing business with high inflation because people have money but can't buy enough and there is going to be low demand even if their is excess supply. These is the time the centra banks raises interest rate to discouraged borrowing, which means that business will be discourage to borrow money to finance their businesses and hence they are force to liquidate. Business is not as easy as you think from a real perspective.

Very few people in the world run businesses, most are employees and it is still possible to carve out a very reasonable lifestyle working for other people. Like you say though, some people go through life relying on other people and in some circumstances pushing it too far - they end up leeching a living without actually contributing anything to society. Those people struggle most later in life when they sap all goodwill out of their friends and family but have no plan in place for their own independent retirement. You don't have to run a business to have a successful lifestyle, but you should aim to find a job that you like so it becomes less of a chore because you will spend a lot of your life invested in that activity.

The choice you make today determines your success tomorrow, this word is a meaningful word but people don't listen and they choose to take the wrong path. If you're a businessman or you have the aim to start up a business, don't just call it a business with random customers and sellers watching your business, it seems everyone wants to compete that's why we see the creation of different robots, the world is heading to such situation when you're not strong enough to withstand you get kick out. Passion must be involved cause when you lack the mindset of creating new ideas you definitely don't want the business to grow. We have some business that needs calculation everyday and if such a weak person finds himself in such business how can he/she cope with the stress of calculating, when dealing with government/private job you still need a creative mindset to push through. I still can't believe people without a business or source of income live in this generation

Its just that some people never gets affected with a bad economy and will always tend to oversmart despite of unfavorable financial condition. So they won’t stop chasing for profits and continue making money because they always see it as their real purpose in this world. But not all people are like them. Some are weak and have no future plans and have never considered setting future goals. It’s like they do accept their fate already that they’re not bound to get rich and improve their way of living, daily survival is already enough for them.

Having an idea that will consistently flow and give birth to more income in line of business is the best to help you grow your business idea. Only those that have not tried will fail but for those that keep trying, they will become successful one day. You can’t be in your comfort zone and expect things to work for you without putting that effort into it. There is a lot of lessons in learning and failure, and when you realize and learn from them, it will only make you better in that field or skill you wish to have. No time for procrastinating as time is no more waiting for anyone, for every minute passed without doing something meaningful or impactful to grow your ideas, will only take you one step farther from achieving your goals. Economy is getting harder and if you don’t find a means of sustainable income, you won’t be able to cope and will eventually give up and remain regretful for the rest of your life.

Every human being now needs to increase his inner creativity.  And the greater the creativity, the greater the ability to attract business.  Always think creatively.  People today look for creativity everywhere and look for something a little perfect.  So people are attracted to businesses that are different and different from traditional businesses.  Most businessmen are going bankrupt after COVID.  But online traders on the other hand have reached a much higher level.  So while doing business, business should be done in proportion to what the customer wants in keeping with the surrounding situation.  There was a time when people loved to go to the market to market but now people love to market online from home so traders need to position themselves and their business in such a way that they can do business in keeping with the needs of the customers.

I am sure that a lot of people, rich or poor, go to bed daydreaming about things they still want to achieve in the future. Even the rich ones dream about what more they could do and what more they could have. Of course for the rich ones, it will be much easier to accomplish their goals meanwhile for those not so privileged we have to keep working and sometimes exert even double the effort.

Nothing will happen if we just daydream. Start doing.

Materializing those dreams of yours would really be needing that extreme effort for you to be able to make it happen. It wont really be able to happen if you wont really be making out such acts.
Just also put up into your mind  though that not all would really be ending up successful despite on exerting efforts and steps. There's no such thing about assurance when it comes to your future.
There's no such thing about having that kind of approach on things but its right that you should really be taking step if you do want to have some change into your life.
You wont really be having that change in life if you wont act.

If you do saw that you are struggling with the current financial capabilities you do have now. Then it would really be just that common sense that you would
be needing to act for you to have that kind of changes into your life because if you are really just that contented on what you do have now
then when times becomes even more difficult then it would really be hard for you to sustain or to live up with it.

Thinking that simply throwing money at a business or investment will guarantee prosperity is a recipe for disappointment. True success is built on a foundation of hard work, dedication, and strategic planning. It's about rolling up your sleeves, putting in the hours, and navigating the inevitable challenges that come with any worthwhile endeavor.

Many individuals experience a rude awakening only when they encounter the harsh realities of their unrealistic expectations. They haven't invested the effort, haven't developed the skills, and haven't prepared for the inevitable bumps along the road. They anticipated smooth sailing, forgetting that growth rarely happens in a comfort zone.

The antidote to this misplaced optimism is proactive planning and responsible action. Define your goals clearly, develop a strategic roadmap, and be prepared to adapt and adjust as you encounter unforeseen obstacles. Success isn't a destination; it's a continuous journey of learning, evolving, and pushing your boundaries.

It is difficult to achieve goals when necessary things are not done. Achieving goals is not as easy as it seems. I agree with what you say because many people think that when they invest money in something, their expectations will come true, but this is a mistake. Maybe their expectations will come true, but this is a small possibility. The important thing is to be able to plan in the best way possible.

Self-improvement is the greatest investment. When a person improves himself and has the necessary information, he can take smarter steps. Thanks to this knowledge, one can reach the level of making the necessary plans.

Of course, there are many factors that affect what we say and what is expected may not always happen or it may happen at an unexpected moment. That's why improving one's self is the most important thing.

Daydreaming is very easy, but to take the steps necessary to reach that dream is very hard, it is because of this that many people do not take action, since if they just daydream at least they can keep that illusion alive, however if they were to try and fail then that daydream will become nightmare as they now know that they will never achieve it, but by having that mentality they are setting themselves for failure, as even if the chances of succeeding are low, at least they are not zero, while those that never try are guaranteed to never reach their dream.

No success will be achieved just by simply imagining your plans without executing it. Risking your time, effort and funds will definitely go into waste if you are investing from zero knowledge and experience. So always bear in mind that every business opportunity should be dealt with proper planning, long term preparation in the market, and positive attitudes towards your investment make up a complete package.

Gone are the days where competition in every business is never tight. You can always plan to invest at the moment but prior to that secure yourself first with knowledge and experience so that you will be competitive in any endeavor that you wish to start with.

A responsible adult does not worry if he is engaged in business and any work as he is able to meet the needs of his family. If the economy is bad then the people and rich people will not be able to do anything because the power to control the economy is in the hands of the government. It would be the right decision for people to think about their future and save according to a proper plan so that they can meet their daily needs even if the economy suffers. Also everyone will feel comfortable if they improve the business based on their own skills.

As someone who has done it before, I can tell that it does take ungodly amount of time before. I had absolutely no skill in drawing or 3d or anything of the sorts, I had absolutely zero skill, never even picked up a pencil to draw a stick figure in my life. Now I can create something decent, I am not saying I am master at it, but I took every single ounce of free time I had, literally every single bit, and improved myself.

These days it's even more, I a mat the hospital most of the time, and working, when my job is done, everyone is tired anyway since it's hospital and we are all tired, so they all go to sleep and I stay awake and draw some stuff or design some new things, watch some new videos to learn something new. I believe I haven't watched a new tv show or played a new game for 3+ months now for example, it's just work and this. It's just an example, but yeah, it requires a lot of dedication.

That's apt and an honest truth. The economy "isn't smiling" at all and it baffles me when people aren't getting skills or sharpening the ones they already have. They think getting certificates from tertiary institutions takes care of getting them lucrative jobs or better their state of living. Maybe in the past it did but not any more, especially the way things are going. Now, we see the need for skills to getting things done. I think anyone in this space should expand their horizon to include various online businesses and maybe include trading skills too. Don't just buy Bitcoin or alts and keep, we should also learn how to flip them for more gains. Knowing that is a skill that puts food on anyone's table for life.

It is an obligation for every adult person to look for a job that gives them an income to be able to meet the needs of their family, because it is impossible for other people to help us to earn an income if we don't start looking for a job that provides an income ourselves and we have to have management. good finances so we can have savings for our future, it's true that of course everyone will feel comfortable if they can improve their business so they can have more sources of income.

the thing rich people doing that some people that aren't generally financially good would never be able to do is the fact that sometime rich people talk about having a dream and daydreaming then the next day they will try to execute that plan, its execution that matters, someone could be having the best plan ever in their day dreaming if they never execute it does it really matter definitely not and thats definitely something that not a person with relatively bad financial condition can do that is executing, spending capital right at that time.
thats why if you see the rate of successful businessman doing business again all from scratch up to the way on top is definitely higher than average business amateur.
also experience speaks a lot about the rate of creating successful business.
what matter is pumping out that MVP, a prototype product to the market, seeing whether the product have place in the market and if it has the place, start pumping money further to the refinement of the products.

I personally would not depend too much on the people above, especially when the economy is going down, almost all of us want to save ourselves and put ourselves in a stable condition so that we can survive with the means and abilities we have. To ensure that we get through the crisis process well. Therefore we need to educate ourselves to improve our abilities, increase sources of income from all directions and ensure that when the economy gets worse, we are prepared enough to face it. Expecting other people's mercy is a mistake that needs to be avoided because not everyone will give without asking for something that is beneficial to them. Everyone needs reciprocity or mutual benefit. Nothing is free during the economic crisis and instead of having to ask, it is better to be a giver.

Learning a skill takes a lot of time and dedication, undoubtedly, and one can only do it if they are completely focused and determined towards it. As you mentioned, one can't spend time on things that they generally like doing, like playing games, watching movies and stuff, or even going out with friends. I understand that these things are also important for someone to keep their mind refreshed, but when you are learning something, you need to reduce the time you used to spend on these extra things.

These days, even those who are skilled need to focus on their skills and get them upgraded because the competition in every sector is increasing rapidly, and if you don't keep up, you will left behind.

If we are still strong and powerful then it is better to try alone without expecting pity from others. Currently the economic conditions in various remote areas are not in good condition but there is still a gap for some people who are thinking about continuing to try and try. So there is no need to worry too much about time because we as citizens also live under the control of the government. The government also always thinks about the condition of its people and always provides accurate information regarding global economic conditions. The point is that while you are still strong you must always move to produce work for a better survival.

Learning doesn't end as long as you are still breathing, directly or indirectly and deliberately or unexpected, you continue learning day by day. Unfortunately, not everyone pay attention to this learning in order to improve themselves. Even with your current skill, you can modify it to suit the present reality with innovation and expansion.

I digress on your second opinion about watching movies and playing games. These activities will not stop one from learning and improving themselves as it's also necessary to our well-being. You need to relax your brain from hard thinkings always and engage in having fun to reduce the stress. It's very good for our health too.

I second that because one can't just keep working or studying or learning throughout the day or night, one needs to take breaks in between and do activities that one likes doing now and then to keep one's mind fresh. Besides, researchers say that playing video games increases a person's understanding abilities and makes them quick reactors by playing certain games where one needs critical thinking and quick reactions.

So one shouldn't think or say that playing video games, watching TV, or doing any other activity would disrupt one's learning abilities or anything because these things are also a part of life and one should do all the necessary things simultaneously to have some balance in their life.

Success isn't about throwing money at a business or some app idea and hoping for the best.  It's about putting in the work, day in and day out.  Think of it like training for a marathon – you gotta show up, put in the miles, and maybe even eat some gross pre-workout goop.

Having a killer idea is great, but that's just the first step.  Turning that spark into a flame requires hustle.  There will be setbacks, moments where you want to throw in the towel, but that's when hard work separates the dreamers from the doers.

Most successful people have a graveyard of failed ideas in their past.  But guess what?  They learned from those flops and came back stronger.  The key isn't to avoid failing entirely, but to use those experiences to level up your game.

agree with you learning never ends even a person get tired of getting knowledge but knowledge continues to grow with growing technologies and changing of era. A person thinks that his knowledge is complete now he can do everything but after entering into the field a person understands that how much important points he has missed in the process of getting knowledge.

Something you will learn from those who teaches us, sometimes from situations and sometimes life teaches us a lot. We will continuously learn because we wants to adopt ourselves according to the age and if we remains in one condition and learn only limited things then we will face lots of problems.

That's why sometimes, when I think about it, people who were born rich are lucky because they don't have money or financial problems that are caused by their family or parents being rich. So even if there is a problem with the economy of the country they belong to, they don't seem to feel it much, in my opinion. Is that right?

But there are others who, even if they are not rich, do everything just to survive the hardships of life that they face, because that's how we are survivors here in the surface world that we live in, to be honest. So most of the time, their solution in this situation is always small businesses just to survive.

Someone said that the life we are living is like a wall clock and everyone have their timing, while waiting for the right time, work on how to make good use of that time when it comes. Planning is the lifeline of every happy home, it is the lifeline of every successful business and also the lifeline of every successful individual. Anybody that doesn't have a plan and that doesn't set their games may end up to fail because they can encounter challenging situation which they were supposed to have prepared for.

Perhaps most people are begining to realize that keeping up with the economic flow of a nation or the world at large is the only way to remain in business, just as you have said every one needs to step up there games in order not to be stepped down.

The world is moving from one stage to another and we must flow with the trends to be part of the great future, if one is stuck with past it's always very difficult for them to upgrade themselves, we are no in a computer related world and someone is business trying to count everything his business manually when others are using am Hines to do that fast that's exactly what is means to step up and prepare for both the ups and downs of life and you will overcome every economical situation of the globe.

couldn't agree more with this and couldn't be more well said, planning is everything someone want to step up their game, even building financial also requires thorough planning otherwise it will be like an empty shell really fragile in their execution and could shatter easily at the very first problem they are facing.
therefore its always good to try get advantageous than anyone else learning skills and something else that at least could make better of our financial situation and then work way harder to achieve what we are targetting.
the people that are committed will definitely see result at the end of their journey.
same thing with investment, try to invest when bearish, don't get swayed even if the price fell even deeper than your expectation and then just wait.
we all know the holders that are committed always win at the end of the day.

If someone is aware of this of course they will continue to improve themselves so as not to be left behind in various fields, because if we are left behind then it will be very difficult for us to catch up and we must try as hard as possible to be able to achieve what has been achieved by others.

Yes, of course the life we live will always move towards a better direction and if we don't follow this and are stuck with the past of course this will always make things difficult for us in various fields and also we must always prepare ourselves with all the updates that come our way. is already in front of us and never complain about all the existing updates, because if we don't follow these updates of course it will be very difficult for us to develop.

Waiting you dey yan for doubling one hustle na true talk, my people always say that a rabbit of one hole is likely to die at anytime by a hunter, what is killing most people today is not just the economy alone but one source of income.  life to Excell in any situation need diversification of business, investment and increase of knowledge because one must increase knowledge to meet up the global changes, because you can't be using old method of business and expect a modern result.

Some people have double their hustle but lack knowledge to meet need of customers, one should be able to change as the world is changing else your double in hustle is waste of time and energy yielding no result.

Sometimes you might have the right business plan in mind which you believe will be able to lift you from your financial level to the next one but they will not have the money to start that up even enough money for feeding is a big problem for them, most times you might have the money to start something up but the right business might not be the right thing to do at that point in time due to the level or location that you are that moment.

everyone wants to be better for the future, but the problem of improving finances is the biggest obstacle at the moment, even though we have many new ideas being born but the capital cannot carry out our plans well, so in this case we must be able to carry on with our own way, even though it is a very long process, it is a very important achievement for us to achieve.

In starting the right business, you only need to pay attention to three things which must be considered very important. The first is the location where the business is located or opened so that we know how suitable the business is to be there with a population density environment sufficient to run the business. And the second is the skill in managing it well because often bankruptcy of a business arises when the owner cannot manage the business well enough. The last one is the capital to carry it all out precisely and accurately.

If the main obstacle is only capital, this should not be a serious obstacle for those who want to start their own business at this time. Because now there are many agencies that offer loans for business capital and everyone who wants to open a business can also collaborate with parties who have capital so that all their plans can be channeled quite well.

Ideas on head or on paper looks so real and realistic until they are put into action, that's when you know that there is more to what you dealing with. Idea will look rich that you can put it into work instantly but as soon as you launch that work and you have not experienced it before, you will see the actual factors that you didn't see even before starting the business.

People do have money, they have millions in their bank account but are afraid of what will happen if use the money for business because most of the business startup usually fail in their first start. I have seen more than 100 of business that change idea and rebrand into different things. Nokia first product was a toilet paper before they later change into phone business and that was one of the biggest business idea the ever succeeded into but along the way, they allowed another competitor to snap them out of the business, that was Blackberry. However, launch of Android phones killed all Java phones, you can see that running a successful business is not for the weak, you need to be ahead of everyone.

Based on a country economy that will determine the kind of life or people who is dwelling in that country will live especially when your country economy is degrading continuously it will make you to have option of being an entrepreneur for your personal survival and your family and another person will a pick up another idea to learn a skin acquisition in order to being independent of it on without waiting for government job employment, and all this can happen when the government is not taking care of the economy of the country there will be a different ways of people living in that country or environment to look for a helpful hand to earn a living.

It is obvious that to survive is based on strategies and the understanding because if you don't have a strategies to survive or you only depend on one option you will find it very difficult to survive when the government plan collapses that is why someone need to have another option of living not only relying on one option

If someone has the right business plan, of course they have to have capital to be able to run the business they want to build, but if they don't have the capital to be able to run the business, of course they have to look for people who want to invest in the idea they have and have to believe in it. that the business idea they have will be very good and can be run well, to be able to build a business, of course you must first carry out in-depth research so that what we are going to run can run well and can provide profits from the business being run.

Really good tips, thank you

That's right, as you said above, to be successful in business, you need courage, resilience, and the ability to lead and innovate amidst the changes that are coming so fast.

Success often comes from the courage within us to go out, change ideas and throw away the fear of feeling inadequate, that our business will be destroyed and suffer losses and will not be able to adapt to changes that come and go. Yes. In my opinion, if we want to go on stage, don't be half-hearted. Go straight to the big stage when everything is ready.

           -   It's like that when you get old or get older, you can't really sleep well in your mind. Especially if he has a business to manage, it's normal for them to feel worried because, of course, they don't want to waste time without even establishing customers who will return to his business.

And it's normal for him to think about the best strategy for his customers to go back and forth with the products he has for his business. Of course, adults will always think of nothing else but quality service and quality products.

Ideas are alluring, promising the world in gold, but when the rubber hits the road, the true color reveals, right?

So, you have millions in your account but are petrified by what ifs. Apprehensible, but isn't it prudence disguised as fear? Nokia went from toilet paper to tech giant, but without planning, it was overthrown. Being ahead requires adaptability and tenacity. Failure is inevitable and predictable

Business is for visionaries who can handle uncertainty. It need vision and courage to pivot, rebrand, fail, and rise again. Each giant today failed once. Can you afford not to use your millions? Not the risk
