• 10 Ways To Know Whether You Are In The Right Location Or Business; And The Power Of Positioning.

            One thing that might be limiting you or your business all this while could be your location. Apart from your attitude, the biggest limitation or the biggest up lifter of life or a business is your choice of location. How far you or your business will go is most at times determined by how right or wrong your choice of location is. 

             The question now is  how can one know if he/she is in the right location.
    The following are some of the methods one can use to measure how right or wrong his/her choice of location is:
    1.  Proximity to a ready market for your abilities, skills, or whatever you have to sell.
    2.  Availability of raw sources of what you need to refine your skills or whatever you have to sell.
    3.  The capability and the purchasing power of your available market.
    4. Enough space for expansion and the approachability of your available market.
    5.  Availability of like minds and goals helpers (including workers and partners where applicable).
    6.  Adaptability of your short and long time goals and objectives for your skills or business.
    7.  The level of your market understanding of what you have to offer and their acceptance or accommodation of your messages and mode of operations.
    8.  Availability of inspirations and motivations. That's, things that can readily inspire new ideas and keep your hunger to do more.
    9. What your emotions and your instinct is preaching in you. Once your inner mind keeps preaching trouble or unrest thereby making you to lose your self-esteem and courage then it could be a sign that you are not in a very good location.
    10. The most important of them (from my own perspective) is what's your spirit man saying about your location or business. Is that your destiny? Is that what you are born to do or where you are born to be? Is that the will of the creator for you?

            Well, all these aforementioned points are not by any means a propaganda to discourage you from trying out a business or discourage you from optimising the utility of your skills or abilities. It's a way of making you to understand that some times if not most at times it takes more than just having so much money to invest into a business or your skills to make it a success. Positioning is always key.

    Once you are in a right business, living or working in the right location, your acceleration (all things being equal) will be swifter than one who has so much money to invest or has already invested so much time and money in a particular business or his/her skills.

    You can never compare the sells of someone selling bags of cements and tippers of sand opposite the university of Lagos main gate (Akoka, Lagos state) to somebody doing the same business anywhere in a place like Ikorodu, Epe, or Badagry in the same state. Neither can you compare how fast a beat producer or a rapper living opposite Unilag main gate will grow to a person with the same skills living somewhere in Ikorodu. Most at times, it's all about location or positioning. I hope I have not caused any discouragement here? Be Inspired!
