Some of us had great hope in it being a way out of fx flip flop.

Infact I personally foresaw it being continental coin but not sure if they launched a coin or a cashless platform.

My few friend from Gambia, Ghana, Zimbabwe and Cameron, Jealousy over took them hearing of the rumoured e-currency from the continent's most populous nation.

However the first pitfall is the adoption of the e-naira

our currency is naira and kobo.

The Kobo seems to have been forgotten and the Naira has not played top on the global currency index across all FX market.

So I ask what is the rationale behind continuation of the name naira when Kobo could return the lost values?

It has not only created confusion in identity but denied it the potential of being a viable product in the E-currency market place.

Imagine that the nation choose to launch a Kobocoin and 10,000 unit of kobocoin being 1 naira?

The entire prospect of e-naira would have been greatly optimized.

First:

There will be distinct clarity on how to acquire it as clear cut product.

But now they have thrown confusion on themself on funding e-naira wallet.

Secondly

Being a continental hub, if the name Kobocoin was adopted and mined like every other coin, it will imply that 0.0000450 Kobocoin could be equal to 1 BUSD and possibly 0.005USD.

This will enable every African nation want to trade on the currency.

Limiting volume could have created a rush and demand that will increase the value knowing that it will provide alternative to get USD.

But rather than liberalize the process they have offered extended cashless policy framework with little touch of Blockchain Technology claims

Thirdly

Every country who had e-currency, mined it. Some went as far as giving free units to her members, this increased interest for people to want to deal with it.

In our own case what have we done?

you can only fund from your naira account excluding nationals like Kenyans from the possibility of trading on the e-naira which could have been best suited on Kobocoin as a continental Giant.

For the fact that google dropped the e-naira app is enough feedback to CBN.

since they didn't do consultative checks prior to release.

Is even more disheartening that all media handles associated to the adopted name was not blocked for exclusive official use prior to release.

If just a day after launch people are already using a fake handle to redirect users, it implies basic due diligence were missing.

Fourthly.

Personally speaking, I greatly doubt if the e-naira launched is in close rank to existing ones in the E-currency echosystem.

Before the worse happens, it will be in the best interest of citizens for the Government to suspend the project and sort inputs because the leg being put forward can not cross borders.

Whoever told them they can control e-naira , the way Naira (fiat) is controlled lied to them.

In Blockchain technology once keyed in, it's keyed in, not load through your bank account into your wallet and from your wallet into your account.

The P2P algorithm of e-currency is what gives it wider acceptance and should be the liberal point to fixing fx issues.

If 1trilion Kobocoin or e-naira as they have chosen is released!, activities around it will increase global demand for it, and hence raise demand for the naira, Therefore Mr president can make claim of it's potency to impact on GDP could hold waters.

To have a squared product in a circular clime, will have some people left out.

The hope of using the e-naira for the AfCFTA market is further dashed, since you will have to have naira to use e-naira.

Sincerely I was hopeful on this project, but with what has been put forward, putting in a Kobo, is as good as kissing it goodbye because the government still want to hold it fist 👊 tight in control.

Microsoft Outlook 2007 does not validate for empty subject lines when sending out mails. This article provides a mechanism to achieve the same.

These days, in the expert world, Outlook is most famously utilized as the email customer. The title is a vital piece of any email. A decent headline can draw in the consideration of the email peruse. How often has it happened to you that you have sent an email through Outlook without a title? In the wake of tapping the Send button, you understand that you have committed an error. Is it true that you are neglecting to remember the headline for messages? Viewpoint doesn't approve for an unfilled headline.

We'll follow these steps to validate an empty subject line for Outlook 2007.

Go to Tools -> Macro -> Visual Basic Editor. Or, directly press Alt + F11.

The Visual Basic editor window gets opened.
On the left pane, you will see Microsoft Outlook Objects or Project1, expand this. Now, you will see the ThisOutLookSession entry

Double click on ThisOutLookSession. It will open up a code pane.
Copy and paste the following code in the code pane:

Private Sub Application_ItemSend(ByVal Item As Object, Cancel As Boolean)

   Dim strSubject As String
   strSubject = Item.Subject
   If Len(Trim(strSubject)) = 0 Then
       Prompt$ = "Subject is Empty. Are you sure you want to send the Mail?"
      If MsgBox(Prompt$, vbYesNo + vbQuestion + _
            vbMsgBoxSetForeground, _
            "Check for Subject") = vbNo Then
        Cancel = True
      End If
  End If
End Sub

Now, just save the project.

What is UX?

In recent years, UX has gone from being a design buzzword to a full-fledged, self-contained industry, and for good reason: it gets results, makes websites do what people want them to do and keeps customers happy.

Understanding what UX does is the key to getting the best out of your UX development and the first place to start with that is knowing what it actually is.

At its most basic, UX is a methodology of putting your users at the heart of what you’re trying to accomplish with design.

UX stands for user experience and is a set of practices and techniques, aimed around how best to guide your potential audience towards what you hope to gain from them.

How UX works.

For the most part, UX deals with organising information and processes on a website in the most efficient manner, for your target audience.

Step one of that process might well be, to identify who your target audience is; more than just marketing, different demographics will have a very different approach to navigating and interacting with websites and the services they provide.

UX will take idealised version of these demographics and find the route of least resistance, (and maximum gain).

The golden rules of UX.

There are several core pillars that UX designers will generally build from:

The 3-click rule, which suggests that most users will leave a website if they can’t get what they want from it within three clicks
The 5-second test, where users, will be tested on what information they pick up from a quick, (five seconds), browse of a site
The 80/20 principle, based on the fundamentals of the Pareto Principle, which states that 20% of the features on a website, will drive 80% of the action that users choose to take

Know your audience.

Having a rough idea of your idealised users and knowledge of general browsing behaviours that, those users will follow, lets UX designers create precise journey maps that, you can build your site around.

Of course, these rules, give no guarantees, and there will always be outliers who don’t follow the same course everyone else would.

When dealing with large numbers though, it’s the majority who rule and finding the best way to guide that majority towards your goals, is the surest way to make your website work as efficiently as possible for you.

The best UX design agencies and development specialists make use of the full scope of resources available to them, to create the best possible user experience they can.

One moment, they’ll be crunching hard user data, the next referencing psychological handbooks, to find keys and triggers to help guide users to a satisfactory journey.

UX brings it all together.

Ultimately, while they don’t always have any particular say over the branding, coding, service, or, upkeep on your website, your UX specialist will be the architect that brings it all together and in many ways, will have the biggest impact on the experience and ultimate satisfaction of day-to-day users.

Taking their input and balancing it against technological and other considerations, is a process that should begin right at the start of the development schedule.

Once your site is up and running, it will be that much harder, to overhaul and change principle elements, so having a good UX specialist on board your development team, right from the start, can only be a good idea.

Problem: Outlook 2016 Favorites List – DISAPPEARED

I tried going to View ==> Folder Pane ==> "Favorites", as the Office Support says, but the option is no longer there.

Solution: https://tinyurl.com/yatndvdo

How can I bring back the Favorite List

When the Favorites section is not showing above your folder list, 2 things could have happened:

· You switched to the Folder List Navigation.

· You disabled the Favorites section.

Luckily, it is very easy to recover from either situation.

You switched to the Folder List Navigation

The Favorites section doesn’t display in the Folder List Navigation but only in the Mail Navigation.

In the Folder List Navigation you can see all the type of folders (mail, calendar, contacts, etc…) that are in your mailbox, not just the mail folders.

To switch between the Mail Navigation and the Folder List Navigation, you can use the Navigation Panel at the bottom left or use their keyboard shortcuts.

CTRL+1 Mail Navigation
CTRL+6 Folder List Navigation

Yes, as much as we'd like to achieve balance in our life it doesn't exist in the form we like to think. Balance is what ever makes you happy, not devoting a certain number of hours to X and Y.

In all of our lives, balance is not the ultimate goal, it's just an average of what you are doing. What balance is to me means something completely different to you. We all juggle multiple things at once in our lives - businesses, kids, spouses, friends, charities, etc. To say you are not trying to do it all is a lie. I'll fess up - I can be an absolute mess at times. I'm married, have 2 daughters (ages 10 and 6), own my own business and am involved in my community. Late nights are nothing new. Taking my stress out on a punching bag is my norm. There are days that I'd rather roll over in bed than be productive.

Life keeps going and so must we.

At the Professional Women's Conference I attended there was a panel devoted to this topic. They called it the "Balance Games" because essentially that is what it is, a game. There were several great takeaways that we can all use to achieve whatever balance we are striving for.

Be 100% focused on whatever you are doing at the moment.

It doesn't matter if you are pushing your child on a swing or writing a business proposal, be 100% focused on the task at hand. Your child or partner will remember the undivided attention you gave them. You will also find when you are 100% focused on what you are doing, you'll be more effective and efficient because there won't be anything to distract you.

Learn to unplug and put the electronics up.

This is hard, but you just have to unplug at times. We can frequently go into information overload and working in social media, it happens more than I care to admit. When your business is 24/7/365, it's hard to unplug but trust me, you just got to. Your eyes, mind and family will appreciate it. After a refreshing break, you'll find yourself more focused and ready.

Just say "no". And do not feel you have to explain why.

You do not have to agree to everything. There is not enough time in the day to be superwoman (or superman). Busy makes us feel important, when in reality it doesn't. We choose to be busy. We think if we go on and on about what all we have to do, we will be perceived as being someone important. We have to prioritize what we do. It could be your children, your spouse or something else. When you do say no, unless specifically pressed, you do not have to explain your reason(s) why. It's no one's business but your own why you are declining something.

Realize that YOU are in charge.

Only you have the power to say yes and no. No one else speaks for you. Do not concede to putting it in someone else's hands. You have more power than you think.

Draw the line and defend it.

Being a working mom, I have boundaries. You need to have boundaries too. You need to know what you will and won't do and defend that. This could be time with your kids, ethical business situations, things that pertain to your religious beliefs. We all have lines we won't cross and when tempted, we need to defend it. On the same lines, find your family time and defend it as well. If your family time is from 5-8pm, for example, do not take phone calls or work during that time. Sometimes that balance means turning clients down. Remember, if they want to work with you bad enough, they will work with you on this.

Last but not least...

Success is finite; aim for significance.

Success can be a new client or an award. Significance means you made a difference. We all want to have success, but that really only lasts so long. Aim for something that you will be remembered by. If you are too caught up in the everyday busyness of our lives, we'll never achieve that long-term success (significance) we are looking for.

What do you think? What are some ways you stay sane in your crazy life?

Do you want to start a business part time but you have no money? Are you an employee with a strong desire to start a business? Are you sick and tired of your 9 – 5 job? Are you fed up with your boss? Do you want to start a business but don’t want to quit your job yet? If any of the above situations apply to you, please read on.

“Control your destiny or someone else will.” – Jack Welch
I strongly believe every human is unique and possesses at least one good idea. I have seen employees with brilliant ideas and plans; but they just don’t know how to give up their job security to pursue their entrepreneurial career. Starting a small business and earning an extra income has always been the dream of many employees but the problem is only few ever dare to quit their job and start a business.

I was motivated to write this article because I have come across so many employees with plans on starting a business but they just don’t seem to be making headway. Year in year out, these same employees are still keeping their jobs. They are afraid to quit their jobs because of the uncertainty associated with building a business.

“Without the element of uncertainty, the bringing off of even, the greatest business triumph would be dull, routine and eminently unsatisfying.” – J. Paul Getty
If you are employee reading this business article and you are contemplating starting a small business part time. Deep down inside you, you know you really need to quit your job but you can’t just find the guts to quit due to fear and self doubts. If this situation above best describes you; then my honest advice to you is this:

“Don’t start a business yet because you will definitely fail.”
Instead, I will advice you first clear your fears or self doubts because with either of these in you; you are failure bound. In retrospect, I want you to know that the biggest corporations of today and the billionaires of today started part time.

Bill Gates started Microsoft part time in Harvard’s dormitory. Mark Zuckerberg, Michael Dell, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, David Filo and Jerry Yang started their business part time in the dormitory of their various academic institutions. Amazon was started by Jeff Bezos in a garage just as Apple was also started in a garage by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak.

Robert Kiyosaki started his Nylon and Velcro wallet business while still an employee of Xerox; and Ray Kroc of McDonald’s developed his business idea while working as a salesman. Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, Oprah Winfrey started by building a business part time.

If these successful entrepreneurs and drop out billionaires can achieve the feat, I see no reason why you can’t do the same. So in this article, I will outline an easy step by step guide to starting your own business part time. If you are ready, then let’s proceed.

Now based on the challenges faced by these employees and aspiring entrepreneurs, I have decided to outline an easy step by step guide to starting a small business part time. These business building or startup steps are the exact steps taken by successful entrepreneurs and drop out billionaires who started and built great businesses. So if you are prepared to go through the entrepreneurial process of starting a small business part time; then below are seven steps to starting a small business part time.

How to Start a Business Part Time With No Money
1. Start developing your entrepreneurial mindset

“Getting rich begins with the right mindset, the right words and the right plan.” – Rich Dad
The first step I will recommend for anyone wanting to start a small business part time is to develop the entrepreneurial mindset. The reason is because starting a business requires a certain kind of mindset; the entrepreneurial mindset.

“There is little difference in people but that little difference makes big difference. The little difference is attitude. The big difference is whether it is positive or negative.” – W. Clement Stone
Remember that building a business will require you give up your job security someday and therefore, you will be transiting fully from being an employee to becoming an employer. So you have to be mentally prepared for the business challenges involved with start.

“Nothing can stop a man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goals; and nothing on earth can help a man with the wrong mental attitude.” – Thomas Jefferson
Starting a small business, either part time or full time entails being responsible or accountable and to successfully achieve it, you must develop the required entrepreneurial skills such as negotiation skill, communication skill, leadership skill, sales skill and so on.

2. Write a strong business plan for your idea

“Dream more than others. Think practical.” – Howard Schultz
The next step to starting a small business part time is to write a strong business plan for your business idea. If you are serious about starting a small business part time, then a business plan is a necessity because it’s going to be a key factor to the future growth of your business.

“A business idea is just another idea. But an idea backed by a strong feasibility, a thorough business plan and a smart business team is no longer an idea. It’s now a solid business opportunity worth pursuing.” – Ajaero Tony Martins
Your business plan must contain a thorough analysis of how you intend starting a small business part time and how you intend to grow the business. You will also have to decide where to locate your business.

3. Look for an ambitious goal oriented business partner

The issue of finding a business partner when starting a small business part time is indeed a tactical one that must be treated with utmost caution. Some entrepreneurs have good stories to tell with respect to business partnerships while others have tales of woe.

“Our success has really been based on partnerships from the very beginning.” – Bill Gates
Before choosing a business partner, you must make sure your prospective business partner shares the same vision and aspiration with you. He or she must understand the intricacies of the proposed business and must be willing to put in equaled effort to ensure the survival of the business. Most importantly, your business partner’s strength must complement your weakness. One smart rule of thumb in forming a business partnership is to jointly sign a partnership dissolution agreement just in case things don’t go as planned.

Another rule of thumb is to consider using a legal hedge such as Limited partnerships; it will save you a lot of stress in the long run. If you are a die hard entrepreneur, you may decide to go it solo, but with respect to starting a small business part time; it will be in your best interest to find a business partner whose time schedule will cover for your absence. Most successful businesses that started part time were all hinged on partnership. Examples of such businesses are Microsoft, Intel, Apple, Yahoo, Google, MySpace, Facebook, YouTube and HP.

4. Start the business part time

“Starting a business is like building a ship and embarking on a voyage, armed with a plan, a map and a team. You have to sail with uncertainty against storms and unpredictable weather. If your ship sinks, it’s either you quit or you swim back to shore, build a new ship and sail again.” – Ajaero Tony Martins
The fourth action step to starting a small business part time is to start the business. I always emphasize this because most employees dream of building a business but fear holds them back. They keep planning and waiting for all lights to go green before they start the business; without knowing that all lights will never go green.

In the book “Rich Dad’s Before You Quit Your Job: 10 Real-Life Lessons Every Entrepreneur Should Know About Building a Multimillion-Dollar Business,” Robert Kiyosaki said that there are three components to starting a business. One is the right plan; two is the right team and three is the money. In that, Robert Kiyosaki explained that rarely do these three components come together when starting a business. But the most important point he made was this:

“It’s the duty of an entrepreneur to grab one piece and start the business, the remaining two pieces will be found along the way. Finding the remaining two components may take a year or more than 10 years; the point is, start with what you have.” – Robert Kiyosaki
“You stick it out. You’ve just got to.” – Steve Case
A good rule of thumb in the world of entrepreneurship is to start with what you have and pick the rest along the way. Even if you have insufficient capital, just start with what you have. Whenever you are filled with the fear of starting a small business, just remember that Amazon, Apple and Ford Motor were started in a garage. Google, Yahoo, Dell and Facebook were started in the dormitory.

5. Schedule your time and delegate duties to your business partner

The fifth action step to starting a business part time is to schedule your time. Are you going to build your business at nights or after work hours or on weekends? You will really have to sit and think it out. For your proposed business to stand, you must allocate time to build it, and stick to that time. I know some successful entrepreneurs who kept their day job and built their business at night. All it takes is a ruthless determination on your part.

“The best thing to invest in your business is your time. To schedule, plan and use time effectively, know your turf and know your objectives. Assess the obstacles and opportunities, then devise your strategies.” – The Mafia Manager
If you have a business partner, this is where he or she will come in handy. Delegating some duties to your business partner will free you up and help you strategize towards the growth of your business. Just make sure that the business tasks are evenly shared between you and your business partner and each one of you should be accountable for the given task.

6. Set a benchmark or target to quit your job

After kick starting your small business, the next step will be to set a target time to quit your job. Definitely, you are going to quit your job someday and go full time into building your business. You can set your target exit date to be either based on your business growth, a certain level attained in business or any other benchmark you feel suits you. Regardless of the benchmark of your choice, just make sure you set a time to quit your job and focus on your business full time.

7. Keep investing in your business until it meets your entrepreneurial target

Building a business is not a day’s affair, it’s an ongoing process. For your business to survive, you must keep re-investing in it until it needs you no more. One of the major characteristics of successful entrepreneurs is delayed gratification. This is the one big difference between employees and entrepreneurs.

“I did 30 Minute Meals for five years on local television, and I earned nothing the first two years. Then I earned $50 a segment. I spent more than that on gas and groceries, but I really enjoyed making the show and I loved going to a viewer’s house each week. I knew I enjoyed it, so I stuck with it even though it cost me.” – Rachael Ray
As an entrepreneur, you must learn to live without income from your business until your business grows big enough. It is called “working for free.“

As a final note; these are my seven step action plan to starting a business part time. Before I drop my pen, I want you to know that building a business while still keeping your day’s job is not impossible.

So I encourage you to take a step of faith and begin planning today. With a strong business idea and a dedicated entrepreneurial spirit, success will be yours. Remember, Bill Gates started Microsoft part time in Harvard’s dormitory
