YES!  I had a lot of FUN today!  I was on an Official National Assignment and I over-delivered!!!!!  I cast my vote!!!! :-D :-D :-D

The past few weeks have been pretty intense... the battle has been tough and many people have lost friends, colleagues and even their public images due to hateful comments and speeches "on top these elections"...  

Testimonial Time!!!!!!!!! :-D Check Out What Participants Had to Say About FEC 8, Our First Blackberry Course!

YES YES!!!!!  Preparing for a Course is pretty stressful!  But when the Course is the first you have ever run, goodness, the nerves "no get Part 2" as they say.

But when you get testimonials like these, you realise it was worth all the stress!  I am still reeling from it all!

Honestly, I did wonder if I would be able to utilise all 3 hours I had set aside for the Course.  But alas!  We were only about halfway at 7pm!  The whole Course lasted 5 HOURS!!!!!!!  Even I was shocked!  

People joined from Ilorin, Portharcourt, Ibadan, Abuja and various parts of Lagos.  Amazing right!    And it was very interactive!  It actually felt like a face to face course.  

I won't say too much but will let the conversations speak for themselves...

This picture says it all!  And that is why my wishes go to not just mothers but every single lady out there who is a mother or potential mother, regardless of age.

You also need to be celebrated because you do contribute and play a role in people's lives- the same way a mother would.

Have an EXCELLENT Mother's Day!

AND this is the 2nd brand spanking new Course we are launching this March.  It feels great to develop and launch new courses based on need! :-D

And how did we come about this Course?  I'll tell you just now.

"Dealing with HORROR Customers in Your Fashion Business" - Register for Volume 8 of our Fashion Entrepreneurship Course; Holds 22 March, 2015 on Your Blackberry Phone / App!

Yes we have all faced this many times.  

- Customers who either take us for granted or seem to revel in causing us so much pain;  

- Customers who can't make their minds up;

- Customers who change their orders at the last minute;

- Customers who claim what was initially agreed on was never agreed on;

- Customers who refuse to pay their balances;

- Customers who, despite you giving your all, seem to believe they are doing you a favour;

- Customers who verbally insult you YET collect the clothes they are insulting you about and never pay for it;

- Customers who agree to pick up an outfit next week - yet call you up the next day asking for the clothes to be ready in 2 days..... 

Anyone being there?  Yes I thought so!  And I can go on and on...
