How To Build A Website!!

Hello, my loving angels! I hope you all are doing great! This blog post is dedicated to all the entrepreneurs in the whole wide world. I truly admire independent entrepreneurs, it’s not that easy to be an entrepreneur due to the challenges we do experience sometimes!

The aim of the blog post is to inspire you on websites you may want to use to create your website. A few years ago, I coached over sixty students at Rotterdam University in The Netherlands on how to build their very own website, register their business and so on. Today, I have over twenty million views on all my social media site, so t thought to myself, why not share with you all ideas on how to build a site. You may want to use

These sites mentioned above are great for building your very own website. Aside from building a website you may also use Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to promote your social media site. I am a website designer. I work very closely with several website designers in The Netherlands and United Kingdom. If you need help with designing your website, Please do not hesitate to contact me.

p.s. So many of you have come to me, you guys asked me, how do you deal with an impolite customer? You guys also asked me, how do you manage to cyberbully? Many businesses hesitate to go online because they do not want their customers to write a bad review about them online. My advice on the first question, is that when a customer is impolite, you have to remain calm, do not treat impoliteness with impoliteness. Just remain calm, offer your excuses to the impolite customers and focus on taking note on what caused the problem and effect improvement. Secondly, for cyberbullying, be calm, apply the same advice. Do not be defeated or give up, because one or two persons say terrible things about you online, do not judge a book by its cover, someone may say horrible things about someone online just to make him or herself feel better, but never ever let it get to you.

I hope these tips inspire you

I love you.

xoxo

October 2018 Favourites!

Hello, muffins! I hope you all are doing great. Yezzz!!!! October month has been so fabulous, we thank God for his mercies, care, guidance, protection, provision, blessings and love. I fell so blessed an endowed. I have decided to share with you some of my October 2018 favorites.

Please do not see my blog post as a show-off, rather see it as a source of inspiration, motivation and more. Many of you my awesome friends and family has come to me and you guys told me that my blog posts have helped you guys improve your business, self-care, makeup skills, self-confidence, better grooming skills, fashion sense, grammar and more.

I have been inspired to create a book, a novel and more. The funny aspect of it all is that my blog is kinda my book to me.
My October favorite is my new job. I am a personal shopper. Self-employed. I love shopping for clothes, books, perfumes, cars, cosmetics, hair products, skin care products, trucks, generator, hair products and more for my clients. I buy and sell beauty items from Europe and Africa and ship worldwide. I have helped several of my friends shop for suits, shoes, school bags, bikes, hair products, health insurance packages and perfumes in Africa, other European countries and in The Netherlands for great occasions such as for wedding ceremonies, graduation parties and so on.

I started my personal shopping business over a decade ago. I remember in the year 2006, I used to own a beauty salon in Port Harcourt Rivers State Nigeria. I had several employees working for me then, the ladies were very good with hair styling and braiding. Then I had my boyz quarter apartment in Port Harcourt, River State Nigeria. I had very top customers from Shell, ExxonMobil, qedi, red transport Nigeria, Ebony hospital port Harcourt, University of Port Harcourt students, businessmen and women and more. Some expatriates who used to work with Eni Saipem also came to my shop then for a haircut, sometimes I went to intel camp Port Harcourt and Onne camp to deliver my services.

After my graduation and study of Biochemistry in Nigeria, I had to sell my salon than to my girlfriend. I moved down to Lagos Nigeria where I continued my personal shopping business. My customers in Nigeria were health insurance staffs, bankers, international real estate management staffs, shell staffs delta afrik staffs, wave ventures, and more.

I was also very active in Nigeria, I helped my friends to buy watches, cars, makeup, flight tickets especially workers who work in other cities in Nigeria. then when I was living in treasure garden estate Lagos Nigeria, I had so many friends then living in the same estate them whom I helped to book their flight tickets to the United Kingdom, united states.

Other of my October favorite is my Instagram and Flickr accounts. I share my nice pictures and items I have for sales. I started these social media accounts because many of you have been demanding ( also male fans) Ekene, don’t you have shoes or clothes for sale? I hope you guys like these items listed on my page. By the way, if you find any item on my blog that tickles your fancy, please let me know, I can get them for you from Europe and ship to you.

I also enjoy coaching a lot, I tend to encourage people to deviate from activities that lead to stress, rather persons should invest their time and energy in self-care and care for others. Sometimes, after a long day at work, we may be very stressed out. It is better to find a healthier way to air your anger, disappointments than trying to put the blame on someone else. There are several ways to indulge in anger management, such as seeing a psychologist, confiding in someone, counting 1 to 10 and so on.

I hope this blog post inspired you. Thank you so much my amazing friend, family, teachers, coaches, mentors for always being there for me when I needed you the most. I am most grateful! Merci!!!

These business ideas would enable you to become self-employed and independent. You may decide to indulge in these businesses ideas as a part-time job. You would love these tips friends!

I have been a beauty and business consultant for several years now.

Today’s blog post is to inspire you on 5 top business ideas. My oldest son inspired me to share with you this blog post, he is very talented, after making several beautiful pictures of me ( this first picture in the black dress was shot by him a few years ago in Mallorca Spain), I decided to inspire you all my great friends, fans and family.

Real estate business
Modeling
Social media consultant
Personal Shopper
Photography

My Daddy has been a building contractor in Nigeria for over three decades now, he and his colleagues have built several schools, polytechnics, houses, business complex and more in Nigeria. He recently advised me to start a real estate business, he promised to guide and coach me. Real estate business is a very cool business to venture in. If you guys need help with buying or renting a house in Nigeria, Europe, please ask me I can give you some advice.

I have had the ample opportunity to work with over four hundred photographers in Europe, I still have their contacts, they were amazing, kind, very hardworking and talented. I have also learned a lot of photography skills during my photo sessions such s editing pictures with Lightroom, portrait professionals, photoshop and more.

I am also a social media consultant, I help companies to make pictures of their goods and services, post online and tag them, sometimes I build websites, update their social media pages.

I have been a personal shopper for over a decade, 11 years ago, when I visited the Netherlands very frequently, my banker friends from Lekki Lagos Nigeria, my big family, friends, and neighbors in Treasure Garden Estate Lagos Nigeria then used to ask me to buy clothes, perfumes, telephones, iPad, laptops, mp3 players and more. I really enjoyed my personal shopping experience. I am still a personal shopper till date. Over a decade ago, We had two cars, a Chrysler pt, and a Grand Cherokee, I remembered driving often to ShopRite after a long day at work to buy luxurious makeup, clothes, shoes for my friends and family. I was a very busy woman and all my friends and family always loved all the items I picked out for them at the ShopRite shop in Lekki Lagos Nigeria. I have helped several of my friends with shopping for cars, electronics, furniture, cosmetics that was actually my part time job then.

I hope these tips inspired you.

I love you!

Hello, my lovely angels! I hope you all are doing great. Our elderly parents whom may be eighty years and above are very delicate and they do require special care. My mother is currently sixty years plus and my dad too. I love my parent and miss them so so much and they both love me and my siblings very much!. As their child, I would do anything I can to make sure, they remain proud of me, in good health and feel loved. I have worked in Allevo and Elder in The Netherlands and United Kingdom respectively. During my working experience, I helped elderly men and women with their personal hygiene, home care, cleaning, gardening, groceries and more! The most common challenges experienced by the elderly is loneliness. In this blog post, I am going to share with you great tips on how to care for your loved ones.

Be kind to your mummy and daddy, in respective of their age, color, education, exposure, please love and cherish them.
Visit your elderly mum and dad as often as possible, your love, warmth, hug means a lot to them.
Make out time to dine and wine with your parents. You may take them once in a while to their favorite restaurant for a great meal. Amadore, Bastion and Fletchers hotels, and restaurants has amazing hotels and restaurants for dining
Provide your aging mum and dad with health care tips
The Netherlands has great facilities and home care. SVRZ in The Netherlands is great!
Keep your eyes on their physical and mental abilities
Help them out with legal, financial issues, bills payment and so on.
You may ask them about their favorite meals and help them do their groceries online and have their groceries delivered to their doorstep.
In The United Kingdom, NHS nurses usually visit the elderly at home whom cannot take care of themselves solely, in order to carry heck ups and find out if they do need help.
Please avoid participating in act or behavior that might endanger their health, Our aging parent may have a history of chronic health diseases, bad attitude towards your parent may trigger a heart attack, high blood pressure and so many other health complications.

My great friends, I hope these tips inspired you!

Why Customer Service Matters!

Hello lovelies, Happy weekend! Thank you so much for all your kind words, encouragements. I have been receiving alot of positive feedback, you guys love my post and i appreciate it alot. Today’s post is to inspire you . Customer service is very important. Customers tend to return to a service or a business environment where they have been treated well. Its is much more less expensive in maintaing an existing customer base than trying to acquire new leads. How do i maintain or earn returning customer i here you ask?

Treat your customers well, be in touch with your customers, offer coupons, discounts, share updates via social media, introduce customer engagement and social media marketing to your business, create personalised and customised service for your customers.

I hope these few tips were helpful.

I do love to learn from you, what do you do to make your business successful

I love you.

Hallo schatjes, Gelukkig weekend! Heel erg bedankt voor al je vriendelijke woorden, aanmoedigingen. Ik heb veel positieve feedback ontvangen, jullie houden van mijn blog post en ik stel het erg op prijs. Het blog post van vandaag is om je te inspireren. Klantenservice is erg belangrijk. Klanten hebben de neiging om terug te keren naar een service of een zakelijke omgeving waar ze goed zijn behandeld. Het is veel minder duur in het handhaven van een bestaande klantenbasis dan het proberen om nieuwe leads te verwerven. Hoe kan ik terugkerende klant onderhouden of verdienen, vraag je het mij?

Behandel uw klanten goed, neem contact op met uw klanten, bied kortingsbonnen, kortingen, deel updates via sociale media, introduceer klantbetrokkenheid en sociale mediamarketing voor uw bedrijf, creëer gepersonaliseerde en aangepaste service voor uw klanten.

Ik hoop dat deze paar tips nuttig waren.

Ik vind het leuk om van je te leren, wat doe je om je bedrijf succesvol te maken?

Ik hou van jullie!
