“Starting A Company Is Much Easier Than Maths Itself” — Didi-Omah Augustine Chinazaekpere
Why we do not chasing money? I told my team what I discovered about money, money does not exist, it is based on mindset, it is an exchange tool to get something from the other party based on agreement. It can be paper money or transfer via internet. It could be recommendation or contract for an exchange to service. This idea was originally gotten from trade by barter — if we can remember.
So I am not talking rubbish. I don't chase money because, money is not far from where values are delivered. Where value is been given, you will always find money going there — then what should we do? We must learn how to create high values and offer the value to the society in return for money or whatever we desire.
So entrepreneurs should not chase money but channel their energy to create values. Everyone cannot be a business owner, we can work under someone or a system or government — then everyone can be an investor. Yes, it is possible. Everyone can be an investor, whether a business owner, self-employed, student, government worker, employee, etc.
Building a company is not difficult as we all thought. Starting a company is much easier than maths itself. But there is a problem. Executive, for anyone to start a company, it should be tied to a vision, a purpose.
Before starting a company there must be something that cause the motion. Like there is a need for the product, you have a vision to solve a problem in the society with your company, your product or service is closing a gap in the lives of human, you have an idea that will change how people do things — then start that company.
The problem is you don't start a company because you are bored, you need money asap, you just want to go into business just to feed your desires. Sorry, you end up leaving the stage: you will quit — yes, that's why we have many startups not functional, because they can't recreate, they can't innovate, they cannot see beyond.
Adonay gave us the gift of vision, not sight! Sight is for our eyes, but vision is from our heart. What you see from your heart, your eyes can capture — then you get it. We must first see the end of what we are building from the beginning, so we can arrive at that point — little by little with committment and knowledge — we get there. For example, most founders started their company because of their personal need; like they were customers but couldn't see what they need exactly— so they created a company for it. Like bolt founder, he needs a ride from his home to anywhere without standing at the bus stop — but the service providers are limited.
He created bolt, that is actually book a ride! Google founders, both wanted a platform where everyone including them — can access information in one place without searching hours in the book library or shelves. And they created a search engine, Google primary was created to have all information in one platform — now into many services and products.
What about Facebook? Mark Zuckerberg created Facebook to connect friends and family together within university campuses — today the Facebook is a global empire and worth billions of U.S dollars. What about Zara, Dangote Cement — these companies started with a primary purpose. Executive, doacWeb was created for everyone to share what they know.
That is why we see the slogan whenever we visit the doacWeb, today it offer many services but still maintaining its primary root and purpose. TikTok — make your day, to kill boredom by sharing short videos; today is the world leader in short videos sharing platforms. So we see that first to build a company, there must be a vision, there must be a purpose.
Stick to your call, abide in your field — for you to be global company, is about the values you offer to the world. I don't chase money, because I know what exactly to do to get paid asap. I create values, put it out there to the world to have knowledge of it. Today, over 180 territories and countries, with over 500k people uses doacWeb day by day; doacWeb is a local platform with global presence — how possible, because we stick to our field, we focus on our primary call, our vision is before us, our purpose is what is driving us. Faith and patience is highly needed in entrepreneurship — without these two virtues, nothing can be possible to achieve.
Executive, so building a company or starting a project, must first have a vision. Then create a value in form of product or service, sell it to the people,
build a company of five to seven team to manage the service or product; it can be in a room or garage or wherever — target the global market. It is not really hard as we all thought. It needs thinking, it needs knowing what to do — like we call it sense — and not really starting with money.
