Title: Business Linking And Knitting.

Success secrets are always available, but only to people who never stop searching.

When you stand alone in life it is easy to fall, but when you stand with destiny contacts, it is almost impossible to fall.

It can be very difficult for a business to success alone just as it can be impossible for an individual to success in isolation without any help.

The 'I can do it myself ego' has put limit on too many businesses especially in Africa, Nigeria in particular. At least, that's the one I know very well.

A lot of African business owners/entrepreneurs don't know how to hire and retain entrepreneurs, instead, they are better at firing them. In my opinion, until you can attract, develop and turnout better leaders than yourself, you are yet to become a great leader.


Linking:
Linking up begins when you start creating the connection between you and people who will play very useful roles before and after your business starts.

The first level of partnership actually begins before your business does if you follow due process. People who give very helpful information through feasibility studies to you before you start out in business are like independent partners. Keeping a relationship with them will go a long way in the long run as feasibility studies is not a one time thing, you'll always need it when you need to re-brand.
It's wrong to have the habit of 'we need people only when we need them.'

Another coded level of partnership begins when your business starts to employ people.
You need to hear the way some business owners talk to their employees, because that's the way they see them, as employees, not as partners.

Some potential entrepreneurs may never become business owners if they find the right entrepreneurs, as they will own the business and fulfil their own vision in it.

Start to treat your workers as partners and you'll be amazed at the sudden turn-over.

The Marriott Hotels business slogan is very true; “ When you take care of your staff, they will take care of your customers.”
And I think they would do much more than that - they'd take care of the company too even when you're not around.


Knitting:
Linking can happen between you and anyone with a good heart who just likes to be of help.

You can link up with people who will serve as Independent or temporary staff/partners. Knitting is a heart thing. It starts to happen when you meet destiny contacts, or when Independent partners or temporary staff/partners begin to show tendencies of becoming destiny contacts.

Destiny contacts are people who will help you build your business until it fulfils its purpose as they also fulfil theirs alongside.

The real challenge though is locating them as you don't see them with your ordinary eyes, you find them with the eyes of your mind.
