What Can I Do Differently To Grow My Business?

Your Money What Can I Do Differently To Grow My Business? Hello Miss Tolani I read your column in the last edition of Drive Magazine. You talked about planning your money. That it is not how much you make that matters but how much you keep. How does one achieve 'keeping' in a very tight situation? I am an entrepreneur and have been running my business for three years now. I am yet to see growth in my business. It isn't that I don't have enough clients to sustain my business and even grow it. The problem is that I have to support my family from my business and 'keeping money' that I know will assist my husband in our home doesn't sound right. I love my business. I make enough money a month but my business cannot grow. What can I do differently? Thank you. Suzy .M. (Lagos)

Build Your Capacity, Increase Your Wealth

*As published in the last edition of Drive Magazine under the column 'Your Money* Wealth is often misconstrued as having a lot of money, but money is not equal to wealth. I tag real wealth as ‘Capacity’. Capacity is the ability to hold or contain resources; to effectively manage them. Wealth is the ability to hold and effectively manage limited resources. It’s not about what you earn or have but how you can effectively manage and grow your limited resources.  The ability to turn one loaf of bread into a bakery and keep the bakery running, turning a loaf of bread and 2 fishes into thousands to feed a multitude is what I call wealth. Do you ever wonder how the first and second servants in the parable of talents were able to double their talents? They are not wealthy because of the amount of resources that was available to them but the capacity they had to double their talents. We often seek for more money but not enough capacity through wisdom.
