All things Green - Money

Been thinking about money lately and the life of an entrepreneur. 
I have been conducting a lot of research and realize I created a business where there is low demand.  Zestee Treats is a small business I kick started back in 2017 while on maternity leave. I created this to incorporate healthy meals into events, by providing fruit platters, fruit carvings and fruit desserts as part of the catering service. 
Zestee treats is based in UK, where the weather is cold 80% of the time, fruits tend to be more expensive in the winter, and people tend to opt for indoor or small-scale parties. 

I came upon this great movie on Netflix titled - 'She Did That' and it’s a documentary about female entrepreneurs around the world and how they have managed to create 
multi-million dollar business with little or no much support from the banks. This reignited the spark within me and I cannot wait to see how my future business venture would grow and inspire the world. 

I encourage you to check out this young entrepreneur called Tonya Rapley who created MyFabFinance- She changed the common SMART goals definition to SITA goals which I am in love with now. SITA stands for Specific, Intentional, timeline and accountability. This is a more realistic way for me to set a goal and accomplish it with an accountability partner to encourage me along the way. To find out more about this modern guru for all things finances please check out her book on amazon called -The Money Manual.

Post pandemic marriage

During the height of Covid, the world was in a lockdown state where non-essential workers had to stay home, with family and face all the issues we run away from or use our busyness to cover up - ourselves. As humans, we tend to quickly see other people as the problem, yes, your spouse can be highly annoying but if we begin to live life with this simple philosophy things might begin to look a little different. The philosophy is - I cannot control the actions of other, I can only control my reaction and influence the change I want to see. In marriage love is not enough. Something stronger than love can make a marriage break for example Abuse, o irresponsibility, infidelity or neglect. A successful marriage is a result of the application of knowledge and not the exchange of love. You can love something but not know how to do it. I love the piano, but I do not know how to play it, I have tried to learn but using both hands at the same time is a struggle for me. The Bible says p...

Chosing a life partner

  I was reading this book called friendship courtship and christian marriage written by Kayode Adesogan. A lot of people have been getting engaged during this lockdown and i think it's a great time to share some ideas about choosing a life partner, courtship, engagement and the whole deal.   When choosing a life partner here are several things to consider before embarking on this journey. The Cultural factor Language, religion, ethics, value, traditions and morals. It is important to consider the background and upbringing of your partner and how it differs from yours. Similarities are easy to recognise but it's important to identify the differences and consider how it might affect your relationship in the long term. Universal problems What are your passions. People go through different challenges in life and its important to note what inspires your partner. What gets you up in the morning?  Who do you blame, when you face a life changing problem like rape or loss ? T...

Life, Lemons and Smurfs

Have you ever heard the saying - when life gives you lemons (sour) make lemonade (sweet). I would add make lemon Smurfs. I was prepping to make puff-puff ( a Nigerian pastry) last week, like most people due to lockdown in UK I have been baking  loads. I made an error by placing the dough which contained yeast in the fridge instead of in a warm place. An hour passed and then i remembered, by this time the dough was quite cold. I tried to fry the pastry but it was looking so weird , like a retired doughnut. I panicked because there was nothing else I could think of to do with the pastry and the last thing I wanted to do was to bin it. I was hoping and praying when an idea came to me - heat it up in the microwave. I did that until the dough was warm and I was happy to fry it. It turns out to be one of my best batch of puff -puff I have made so far.  Life is filled with the ups , downs, waiting and mids. How do you react to the downs in life, we might not be able to co...
