HOW TO GET STARTUP IDEAS.
•@SirChike
•by Chike Chukwumba
I believe the way to try and get startup ideas is to not just think of startup ideas, but to actually think and look out for problems in your environment or the society at large. As Eche Onwugbenu would put it, that's when your Aha moment comes up. You get this spark of an idea, and you realize that a solution in form of an idea is created. The very best startup ideas tend to have three things in common : * something the founders want * something they can build * something a few others realize. Something important every startup should take is to know that not every problem exists at a time or period. You need to be sure that there are people who actually need this solution your offering if not there would be zero users. That's why engaging in thorough research is very important, that can't be stressed enough. Best of all don't just think for yourself, think for others and know what really they would get out of your solution.That's why you need a co-founder.

AUTHENTIC STORYTELLING. • by Eche Onwugbenu
How authentic is your #socialmediacontent? Last Christmas, I started evolving as a startup founder in early stage.I had not completely failed in my last startup - but I was heading nowhere, simply because I needed to find a cofounder. So, I choose to pivot. Before last Christmas - I had been planning a pitching competition as a city leader for Founders Live.I was pretty excited about this. Although it was a volunteer opportunity, it was the only job I could think of doing outside the creation of my startup.Nevertheless - I got to work. It didn't matter I was in a nose dive with my #startup at the time. Something about Nick Hughes stood out. He impacted me, with one phone call - and I was on a new race, again. Long story short. Two #pitching competitions later. I found a #cofounder - Chike Chukwumba. During the #pandemic lock down. We created a startup from scratch. With a focus on #foundersliveAbuja as a valuable platform for startups in early stage. I believe the future is in business storytelling. It's all about authenticity.Agree?

written by Gordon Miller· April 17, 2018 Entrepreneur and Investor What are the biggest personal finance mistakes young professionals make?They buy a $90,000 BMW M4 on 84 month terms at $1,700 per month with no money down. Welcome to being car poor. BMW Financial will approve almost anyone with a job to buy way more car than they can afford. Your car payment should not be more than 10% of your net take home pay. Even then, you should consider buying cars in the $25,000 range that are at least 3–5 years old and have less than 50,000 miles and paying cash for them. Too many young professionals want to “reward” themselves with symbols of their success. I got news for you: being “car poor” is not success. Pay off your mortgage, and then let’s talk about what success looks like..

startup principles.
Be Real. While listening to a start up pitch, did you ever hear something that made you say, “you can’t be serious…”? Almost every pitch has something in it that is completely ridiculous, and these people are 100% serious too. My favorite one is $1M for 10% of the company with a projected $1M gross revenue but only $100,000 per year net. So, my 10% is $10,000. At that rate, it will only take 100 years to make back my $1M. Not exactly a “fundable” deal. The other is when the pitch appeals to my “humanity” for the good of the planet. Fuck the planet. Do you want to know what’s inhumane? Murdering money is inhumane. Anyone can take $1M of someone else's money and build an app nobody needs and nobody will ever use. So what?“ We envision this as a not for profit opportunity”. Next. Really? Why are you looking for funding for a 501.c.3 when you are planning and an endless spree of murdering cash that you solicit from others constantly? Wake up!
