Manufacture Don't Just Trade — Didi-Omah Tell Business Owners

Many business owners are doing well in trading, but few hit the big break by manufacturing what they were trading. Manufacturing is capital intensive, it requires lots of money, energy, knowledge, resources and the right team. 

Aliko Dangote, Femi Otedola, Mike Adenuga, Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, Larry Page, Steve Jobs, and many — made their big breaks from building what they love or desired or were trading. 

Trading makes you the money, but owning the product or service, makes you wealthy. I know not everyone can, but you can. 

Started as a blogger using the Google blogspot, and in mid 2022, I set up a team and hired Seun, the CEO of 2Star Technology to the board. And we launch our own platform, built with top computer programming language — which I led.

So nothing is impossible. I have hired many CEOs to my board, so what Mark Zuckerberg, is doing now, I have done it, and will keep on. Because money is not the goal; it is the purpose and vision that drive us.

Manufacturing create more jobs. You are a trader, you hire people to run your business; but when you manufacture a product, that people want. Definitely there will be sellers selling your product as their own business. Fila, Gucci, LV, Zara and other fashion brands are enjoying it.

No seller can be richer than the manufacturer. It is not about the big salaries, it is about the stocks. It is not about how much you are paid, it is about what you owns that increases in value. 

Manufacture don't just trade, if you really want to contribute to the economy of your state, and be wealthy. When you focus on yourself, your family, your religious faith and your society — you will be doing well.

Create a brand, engage strongly in branding. Have strong distribution network for your product or service. Invest more on marketing and less in advertising, if you want more sales. Never visit anyone with empty hand, never pay a visit to someone with nothing to give. Give to those that help you: your staffs, your investors, your political friends, your customers, your family, yourself; it can be anyone — give to those who help you!

Give money to gain attention. Hide your business behind charity, community services and press release. Keep promoting your brand, and marketing your product and service.

Have a global view of your business or your career. Meeting the needs of your environment and your nation at large — and satisfying the wants of people, is the reason you are in business.

Then serve global, but start local; no success happen without getting started.
