[ARB] BE INSPIRED TUESDAY [B.I.T] For ENTREPRENEURS: Inditex -Zara
In 1975, Amancio Ortega started a garment factory called Zara with his wife in La Coruna, Spain. The city la coruna is a little more than 300 miles from madrid and 555 miles from barcelona. A very odd location for an aggressive, global company like Inditex. Imagine a Nigerian brand producing in Akure or Ekiti. In this city, Inditex has its HQ which houses its in-house designers, commercial team, seamsters, seamstresses and so on. They basically imitate the latest fashions and speed their cheaper versions into stores. Every one of Inditex’s brands — Zara, Zara Home, Bershka, Massimo Dutti, Oysho, Stradivarius, Pull & Bear and Uterqüe follow the Zara template: trendy and decently made but inexpensive products sold in beautiful, high-end-looking stores. The man today at 79yrs old is the second richest man in the world. Here are lessons i think any aspiring designer or fashion entrepreneur can learn from Zara - the fast-fashion clothing giant.

[ARB] BE INSPIRED TUESDAY [B.I.T] For ENTREPRENEURS: 10 Tips For Doing Business The Virgin Way - Branson Founder of Virgin Group
 |
| 10 Tips For Doing Business |
Follow your dreams
You will live a much better life if you pursue your passions. People who work on the things that they love usually enjoy life more than everyone else does, simply because they are chasing their dreams.
Do some good
If you aren’t making a difference in other people’s lives, you shouldn’t be in business – it’s that simple. Companies have a responsibility to make a difference in the world: They owe this to their community, their staff, their customers, everyone. The amazing part is that doing good is also good for business.
Believe in your ideas
Give your venture everything you’ve got. A passionate commitment to your business and personal objectives can make all the difference between success and failure. If you aren’t proud of what you’re doing, why should anybody else be? And don’t get suckered into blindly pursuing profits and growth. If you stay focused on being the best at what you do, it’s more likely that the rest will follow.

 |
| 3 Basic guide to start your business as an entrepreneur |
When starting a business, you would need to ask yourself if you possess what it takes to run it efficiently and get the desired results. Every successful business man has a mentality and should possess a strong sense of character. That is why it is important to carry out a self analysis before commencing a business.
The business man does not see failure as a reason to quit; to him failure is a stepping stone that launches him to his next level. He is not afraid but is a risk taker, possessing the utmost desire to succeed; he is not just out to make money, but rather to bridge the gap between demand and supply. He is a sharp thinker and very witty, seizing every available opportunity to meet the demands of consumers. The following make up the mindset of successful business men.

Rick Ross Reignites 50 Cent Rap Feud: Demands Bankrupt Rapper Pay Baby Mama
Rick Ross and 50 Cent have been exchanging insults on social media again and it may have all started over a shirt. It’s no secret that the two rappers cannot stand each other. The feud between Rick Ross and 50 Cent has been going on for years and it looks like there is no end in sight.
Over the weekend, Rick Ross found out that 50 Cent had been selling t-shirts with a photo of the “B.M.F.” rapper’s tattooed chest online. To add insult to injury, the price on the Rick Ross ripoff shirts was just $2.95. Well rather than hit 50 Cent up with some copyright or trademark lawsuit (and to be honest that might be in the works) Rick Ross jumped on Twitter and started clowning 50 Cent for the new line of business.
Rick Ross tweeted, “Forced into #BANKRUPTCY now the Donkey @50cent WORKING 4 #MMG Merch co. selling T’s for 2.95 on the #BLACKMARKET haaa!” Ross wasn’t making things up. 50 Cent really did file for bankruptcy in July, but only after Rick Ross’ baby mama sued the “In Da Club” rapper and won to the tune of $5 million.

China Ends One Child Policy
China announced the end of its hugely controversial one-child policy on Thursday, after decades of strict, sometimes brutal enforcement left it with an ageing population and shrinking workforce that has heightened the challenges of slowing economic growth.
All couples will be allowed two children, the official Xinhua news agency reported, citing a communique issued by the ruling Communist Party following a four-day meeting in Beijing.
The historic change was "intended to balance population development and address the challenge of an ageing population", Xinhua said.
It was "good news for the couples who wish to have a second child," Maya Wang of Human Rights Watch told AFP, but "the restrictions on reproduction rights remain in China".
"As long as the quotas and system of surveillance remains, women still do not enjoy reproductive rights," she said, adding that change in policy was for "primarily economic reasons".
Amnesty International's William Nee said o
n Twitter: "'Two Child Policy' won't end forced sterilisations, forced abortions, gov control over birth permits."
Campaigners welcomed the move, but stressed that a "two-child policy" still meant that China would retain population control mechanisms -- while demographic changes will take decades to have an effect, and previous loosenings led to fewer extra births than expected.

Kim Kardashian Divorce: Kanye West Furious Wife Put Unborn Baby Boy At Risk Flying To Vegas For Lamar Odom Publicity Visit?
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West divorce rumors have reached an all time high as the reality TV queen nears her December 2015 due date. The stresses of Lamar Odom’s recent overdose and near death have only added to Kim and Kanye’s mounting tensions in their marriage.
Lamar’s recent health crisis has caused a huge rift between Kim and her husband, even though they were already on bad terms to begin with. Kanye is not impressed with the way his wife is handling Lamar’s hospitalization – for multiple reasons.
When news broke that Lamar had been rushed to the hospital, Kim Kardashian dropped everything and travelled to Vegas with Kris Jenner and her sister Khloe Kardashian – even though Kanye had reportedly told Kim it wasn’t worth the risk. We’re all well aware of the fact that Kim Kardashian’s pregnancy is high-risk, she suffers from pre-eclampsia, and will most likely have to go to emergency surgery as soon as the baby is born in December.

Kim Kardashian and Kate Middleton were both pregnant with their first babies at the same time – and the media was constantly comparing the reality TV queen to the Duchess of Cambridge. Kim Kardashian of course was flattered that she was sharing magazine covers with the future Queen Of England – Prince William’s wife felt differently about it though.
Since North and George were born, Kim Kardashian has idolized the Duchess and tried desperately to meet her, even offering Kanye West as a lure (LOL!) – but the Royal Family continues to snub Kimye, and has made it clear that Kate Middleton will never, ever be Kim’s BFF.

Employment clinic is an
Employment Solutions Company offering a wide array of bespoke and
integrated services across industries. Its ultimate goal is to redefine
Africa’s employment profile. Employment is a global issue but the
Nigerian case is different because there are many fundamentals that were
not being addressed which constitute the major cause of unemployment in
Sub Saharan Africa and there was no organization addressing these
issues, so Ronke established Employment Clinic to fill the gap. With
over 40 million unemployed Nigerians, we can no longer wait for the
government to be the only answer to our national problems especially
with the spate of policy shocks and policy somersaults that continues to
aggravate unemployment in the country. Hence, this organization.

6 Year Old Chicago Boy, Accidentally Shoots, Kills 3 Year Old Brother
A Chicago man has been charged with child endangerment after his three-year-old son was shot and killed by his six-year-old brother while the two were playing, police said on Sunday.
The six-year-old found the loaded revolver on top of the refrigerator and shot little brother Eian Santiago in the head on Saturday evening, according to police and the Cook County Medical Examiner's office. The older brother's name was not disclosed.
The boys' father, Michael Santiago, 25, was arrested and charged with child endangerment, a felony. He appeared in court on Sunday, but bond details were not immediately available.
"He was a beautiful kid. It's real crazy," the grandfather, Israel LaSalle, said in a tearful interview on CLTV, a local television station. "That's why parents should never have guns in the house."
The shooting happened at about 9:05 p.m. CDT (1405 GMT) in the Humboldt Park neighborhood in northwest Chicago. The three-year-old was carried by a family member a block away to Norwegian American Hospital, and then transported to Mount Sinai Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead shortly before midnight, officials said.
Michael Santiago told police he was a former member of the Spanish Cobras street gang and had purchased the gun from a gang member for protection, police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi, told the Chicago Tribune.

Apapa-Oshodi and Lagos - Abeokuta Expressway Are Not Designed For Pressure – LASG
The state government stressed that the roads were not designed for the pressure they are presently subjected to.
Also, the state government said litigations and slow pace of work by contractors appointed by the Federal Government were some of the reasons for the delay in execution of pedestrian bridge projects across the state.
Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Works and Infrastructure, Ajibade Bade–Adebowale and the General Manager of the Lagos State Public Works Corporation, LSPWC, Mr. Ayo Shodeinde disclosed these while addressing newsmen.
Shodeinde said, “We have two roads that are of major challenges to us. They are Apapa-Oshodi Expressway and Lagos-Abeokuta Express way.
‘’During the era of President Olusegun Obasanjo, the reconstruction was done by Messer Julius Berger, but the road later failed. The state government, knowing this, has continuously embarked on palliative works on the road. We have discovered that the road had failed even from inception.
“This was also the reason for the persistent gridlock experienced by motorists on the Apapa-Oshodi Expressway. This road is substandard compared to the pressure it is subjected to. The volume of vehicles plying the road daily is massive,” he added.
On the persistent traffic in other axis, LSPWC boss disclosed that some residents often cut the road at night, saying: “this act causes traffic gridlock in the state. And that was why we have asked the Nigerian Police to arrest anyone found cutting road at night.’’
Bade–Adebowale added that the litigation by a resident at Cement Bus Stop, Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway was responsible for the delay in the completion of the pedestrian bridge across the road.
