Healthy Competition for your business.

Every entrepreneur wants to make profit,every entrepreneur wants to remain in the market and wants to have a long list of customers demanding for their products.

But we always have a quicken heart beat at the thought of competitors in our businesses and services we render.

Look on the bright side of having competitors and you will appreciate having them around you.

Last time I checked,for example we have various detergent producers and everyone has it's own customers depending on the customers taste,consumption and money.
Having competitors is healthy for your business because it gives you the room to think and ask if you want to remain in the business.

I followed a trend of a product of recent and was amazed at their recent product and price  when competition sets in and the company had to go back to the drawing board.

Top Seven (7)reasons having competitors is healthy for your business.

1.Helps in strengthening your weakness and proffering solutions to it.

2.Makes you unique. Creative thinking sets in when everyone is producing or rending your kind of business.You will want to stand out.

3.Makes you stay focus on your customers wants,demand and keeping them.

4 . Helps your business to grow if you step up to the challenge.

5.A source of innovative for your business.

6.Makes you understand the consumers needs.Thereby,producing for their needs depending on your kind of customers.

7.Brings a new brand to your business because you think smartly and want to make more money.

Not forgetting it is a benefit to the consumers . There is opportunity to buy things according to ones taste because there is varieties in the market and at affordable prices.

Fair and just leaders.

Fair and just leaders



Lawmakers should endeavour to pass through laws made by them to feel the impacts of these laws made by them and how it affects their followers .

 We have heard of stories of many great leaders whom disguised as ordinary citizens and try to feel the impact of their governance on the masses.

This feedback mechanism has made many leaders get the true picture of their actions on the lives of millions and ascertain whether it has positive or negative influence on their followers.

 Bearing this in mind, lawmakers should make reasonable,true,fair and unbiased laws which will suit everyone's interest and also satisfy the lawmaker's conscience.

l just want to be a great mum.

A mother's job is so challenging that sometimes you ask yourself if you're doing the right.
 Are my kids going to turn out great?
Am l a great mum?

 Perhaps you read a book on parenting or met with other mothers in a gathering and you are amazed at their parenting skills.You can't help but ask your self if your parenting is excellent.


 The good news is that you don't have to be hard on yourself. You're doing fine but only have to work on some techniques to make things work for you.
 There is nothing wrong with sharing ideas and experiences with other mothers.
What does not feel right is being a critic on other mother's style of parenting.

 "Some people can be a pain in the neck by criticising all efforts you make"complained a first timer mother.
 "A mother once accused me bitterly of wearing diapers for a eighteen months old child.She said l was wasting money and spoiling my child"said a friend during my research.
 "And l was confused on what to do. I stopped and had almost all my clothes messed up from poo and urine "she lamented.
    You don't have to cringe at some criticism on your parenting skills. Just tell them nicely"thank you" on their contributions and pick out the ones that works for you.

 "Follow your instinct on decisions you want to make on parenting especially when you are comfortable with it"was a wise advice an Aunty gave me.

 As mothers we need to understand what works for us, stop comparing and assuming that there is only a way to parenting.

 Trying out different ways and sticking to what works for you is a great plus for you.
 Work on the doubts you have about your parenting skills.

Get more knowledge when you are in doubt and be proud of yourself when you achieve success on the new style of parenting.

 Nobody is a perfect mother.

Say to yourself. ..I am a cool mum ....I am working on my parenting skills. I hope to be a successful one.

Victory comes with patience.

  Patience is like a horse that never gets tired,an army that can never be defeated and a strong fortress that can never be breached.

 "Patience is the ability to wait for something without getting angry or upset . which is a great quality in a person"

 Most times we ask things from our creator and after a while get impatient and in a haste to see these things come to manifest.
But we forget that one of the test of life is ones ability to be patient in all our deeds. Our creator has asked us to put our trust in him,for he is ready to provide all our needs.lf only we will be patient enough for his bountiful mercies on us.
 I want to attain my victory so l am choosing PATIENCE as one of my character today.

What is PMS(Pre-menstrual Syndrome)?

Understanding your body system What is PMS(Pre-menstrual Syndrome)? PMS (Pre-menstrual Syndrome) is a term used to describe any symptoms which occur any time after ovulation and disappear almost as soon as the period arrives. So the crucial point is not what symptoms you experience but when. What are the symptoms of PMS? This is where a lot of confusion has arisen because over 150 symptoms can be classed as PMS. These can include: Mood swings Irritability Anxiety and tension Bloating Breast tenderness and swelling Water retention Acne Tiredness Weight gain Headaches/migraines Crying Spells Depression Sugar and food cravings Constipation Dizziness Quite a list! Personality changes associated with this time can be very severe with some women describing a Jekyll and Hyde change where they literally become a different person pre-menstrually. Women say that they know they are feeling and thinking differently to the point of being irrational but they have no control over those changes. For some women at that time the world seems completely negative, ‘everything seems black’, doom and gloom and they will often cry at the slightest thing without any real reason. Types of PMS In order to make classification of PMS easier, Dr Guy Abraham in America, devised a system of categories for the different types of PMS symptoms. These fall into four categories Type A – Anxiety This category which is very common in up to 80% of women each cycle, includes those symptoms such as mood swings, irritability, anxiety and tension. Type C – Cravings This group includes cravings for sweets or chocolates, increased appetite, fatigue and headaches. Up to 60% of women can experience these kinds of symptoms leading up to the period. Type H – Hyperhydration Type H includes symptoms such as water retention, breast tenderness and enlargement, abdominal bloating and weight gain. Up to 40% of women can experience these changes. Type D – Depression Depression is the largest symptom in this group but it can also include confusion, forgetfulness, clumsiness, withdrawal, lack of co-ordination, crying spells, confusion. Only 5% of women experience these symptoms but these can be the most serious if the woman is verging on the point of being suicidal. Many women will get symptoms from each Type during any one cycle. And for some women these symptoms can change from month to month, so they are not always experiencing exactly the same symptoms before each period.
