What skills do you have?
More importantly, what 5 problems can you solve with this skill that can make you money?
For example,
If you know how to drive, here are 5 problems you can solve and 5 ways you can make more money.
1) You can drive people to their destination daily through your private cab services or public transportation service.
2) You can teach people how to drive.
3) You can recruit drivers for organizations who need excellent drivers. They will pass through testing and assessment with you before they are hired and you make your money.
4) You can drive people privately who need private drivers to drive their own cars. You don’t even need to do it full time.
5) You can start a consultation business/service that helps people know the best kind of cars to buy based on their budget, their roads and their regions, and even personalities.
People who are first time car buyers often need help with buying the best car that will serve their needs, this is something you can easily do, you can even follow them to the car purchase place to make sure they don’t get scammed based on your knowledge of cars and you take your service fee for that service.
Bonus – You can even write a book on driving, road signs, and driving skills that many other books haven’t covered, especially in the Nigerian Context.
Example 2
If you know how to cook/cater/bake you can;
1) Create a niche for yourself by preparing healthy breakfast meals for busy workers who can pick up your meals on their way out to work.
(Of course, you have to be positioned in a spot where workers can see you.)
2) You can prepare healthy sauces and dishes that busy people can buy and pick up on their way home, soups, stews, Continental rice, etc
This can even be sold in malls around your area.
3) You can consider being the official caterer for schools, hospitals, and offices around the area by delivering their food needs daily/weekly.
4) You can start a food business that sells niche foods that people need, but others don’t sell….
Example;
Beans and Plantain, Yam and Egg, or create something unique, maybe some sort of unique rice, differentiate yourself.
5) You can train people privately in their homes or in a class group setting on how to cook differently delicacies from different tribes and cultures in Nigeria and Africa.
Bonus – You can create an Outstanding Cook Book and sell your special delicacies
So, what’s your excuse?
Opportunities abound and are endless when you put your mind to making it work.
You can make as much money as you want if only you believe and are ready to try out what you haven’t yet done.
📍 Today’s Exercise
Now,
Think about your current skills and draw out at least 5 different ways you can make money from that skill and get started.
{If you need my help in helping you draw out your 5 ways based on your skills, reach out to me privately}
But by all means, make sure you do this exercise and at least try it out
Don’t say it won’t work, have you tried it?
How do you know it won’t work?
In the case where you have to upskill, please do, but there is always something you can start with right now that will make you money right where you are.
Remember, the goal is to increase your sources of income so you are not overwhelmed with the expenses and external situations you might not be able to control, especially living in this current economy in Nigeria.
In the next installation, we would continue learning about more Problem Solving skills that can make you money in Nigeria as a Nigerian living in Nigeria.
Remember,
Money doesn’t respond to tears, fears, frustration, anger, or even pity.
Money is attracted to problem solvers and value adders.
Money gravitates towards VALUE and Problem Solving and Making more money is not about “chasing money” but throwing yourself into strategically solving problems and adding real value to people’s life, no matter how slow it starts, if you keep at it, you will start *”attracting money” that will steadily build wealth for you with this elevate mindset and momentum.
See you in the next installment next week Thursday.
