Employee Training
Every business venture, entity or organisation has a constant, they interface with customers or consumers of their product and/or service. This ranges from at least one person (the base minimum), to thousands, millions, and billions of people. With this is a potential or a pitfall. Word of mouth…

Making Decisions
The story embedded in this episode is one that is instructive. Let's make use of our imaginations. You have children playing on 2 different tracks. Many of them are on a used track. A lone child is playing on an unused track. You have the choice of saving just "one set," either the ones on the…

Abraham Lincoln
You know, I literally felt goosebumps while working on this. This is perhaps one of the most discouraging and depressing stories about an individual that I have ever come across. It's the story of a man widely regarded as one of the very best presidents to have ever taken office in the United...
-
Customer Relations
In as much as this episode comes from an angle of focus on businesses, ventures and organisations, I strongly believe that it applies to pretty much everyone as we interact with people on a regular basis. This is true, even if you don't have intentions of running a "business." For business owners...
-
Time
This is the one resource that everyone has in equal measure. We hear ourselves & others say "I don't have time." Lucius Annaeus Seneca, a Stoic philosopher of Ancient Rome said "We fail to treat time as a valuable resource, even though it is arguably our most precious & least renewable one." And...
-
Forgiveness
I'd get straight to it. This is quite an emotional episode but I also find it very important to deal with. We all get wronged from time to time & how we deal with them individually differ. Its quite easy to bring up some sort of scale of the "weightiness of the wrong" people have gone through &...
-
Margaret Ekpo
Folks, e don tey!😆 (its been a while!) I know & I apologise 🙏🏻. My luggage got stolen at some point & the hard drive where I have all my recordings was in there. I am yet to recover the luggage. Sadly, any evidence that will help the police identify the culprit(s) has not been successful. The...
-
Mother Teresa
At certain times of the year, seems like certain attributes & qualities get more amplified than some others. For the season of Christmas for instance, the theme of love gets amplified more than ever & in some regions more than others [I am experiencing this firsthand now! 🤩] In the UK, the buzz…

Dogs
I have seen more dogs in the past few weeks than I have in my entire lifetime, I mean clothed dogs😆. Pretty weird considering where I am coming from but adjustment does no harm right? King Frederick of Prussia (a defunct territory & location) said "Dog is man's best friend," in 1789. Certain...
-
Courage
You know, we develop cold feet from time to time. Would it work? Would it not work? What becomes of me if it doesn't work & my fears are established? This episode of Baseline Bit is about Courage. It is said that "Courage is not the absence of fear & that courageous people have the same feelings...
-
Mahatma Gandhi
This episode takes me far east into the continent of Asia & its personality-based. Groups & People have often from time immemorial felt oppressed in some sort of way & consequentially have come up with ways to overcome such oppression to basically press home their demands. This is about a man who...
-
Savings
Its usually said that money makes the world go round. While it is widely retorted that money isn't everything (and I absolutely agree) but money will solve a lot problems. A lot of issues on this side of the divide is linked to inadequate finances. Again, not everything, but a lot. Better to have...
-
Nutrition
Foodies, this is for you!😅 I know this is indeed about everyone ultimately, as nutrition is key to wellbeing altogether. I have a secret, folks close to me should have an idea though; I fancy eating more than cooking🙈 (Folks in my camp, you are good?) Paul Prudhomme (a.k.a Gene Autry Prudhomme)...
-
Recognizing Business Opportunities
Each & every single day, we walk on gold mines without even realizing several times. There are no new ideas in their entirety, what obtains most times are tweaks to what have been in existence. Richard Branson retorted that "Business opportunities are like buses, there's always another one…
more -
Exercises
One area and aspect I know a lot of people take for granted, the importance of the routine of exercises. Exercises are bodily activities that enhance or maintain physical fitness & overall health as well as wellbeing. Think about the aiding of growth, improvement of strength, prevention of…

Margaret Thatcher
"I've been reading books of old. The legends and the myths; Achilles and his gold; Hercules and his gifts; Spiderman's control; And Batman with his fists. And clearly I don't see myself upon that list." These first few lines describes majority of folks. But it shouldn't end there. Pay attention…
more -
Branding
Like it or not, whether you pay attention or not into crafting a compelling brand, a brand is being crafted. A brand basically is the perception that comes to the mind of people when they think about your business or you. I can assure you, "accidental" brands are rarely fascinating. Loudly…

Are Leaders Born or Made
Are Leaders born or made? Do we have all have greatness in us or just a few have it in them? In Act 2 Scene 5 of William Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, this statement is hugely popular - "Some are born great, some achieve greatness and some have greatness thrust upon them." While this episode…

Titanium
I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose. Fire away, fire away. Ricochet, you take your aim. Fire away, fire away. These statements are lyrics of a song. This episode has got fire. The fire is Titanium. This metal is very strong, roughly twice as strong as aluminium & weighs about 45% less than steel....
-
Thinking Big
An episode that challenges the mind! Paulo Coelho de Souza said "If you think small, your world would remain small. If you think big, your world would remain big." What are the things that even hinder us from thinking big? One of the things I realized at some point is the fact that for almost…

Using Competitors to Improve your Business
Life no be a serious something, still no be a play something!💃😃 I come from a part of the world where "village people" is a thing! Matter of fact, the moment someone sees things going south, the tendency is to begin to feel, a lady or guy just across the street might be the reason why that is…

John D. Rockefeller
Personalities thrill me. They let us know & reveal that things are possible and the extent to which we can go as well as red lines that should not be crossed. This week's episode tows this line. I think about the richest men ever in history and this man is definitely up there. Matter of fact, he…
more -
Gratitude
Now, I personally like this episode, its about gratitude and what better day to release it than on this day that I was born years ago. I don't know if this is peculiar to me or it happens to everyone. I am not sure I like the attention attached to birthdays, I just for some reason feel everyday...
-
Ants
Growing up, I used to hear this phrase "small but mighty." This perfectly sums up what this episode is about, the ants. You know, they never cease to amaze, so tiny, yet highly organized & do stuff that shouldn't even be ascribed to them in some oxymoronic way. I can assure you that you'd learn...
-
Self-Love
You know, this is one thing that rarely gets the attention that it should, self-love. Sometimes demands of one sort or the other are placed on us but we can hardly meet up because we have not practiced self-love or to put in another way, we don't love ourselves. Of course, that's what self-love…

Making Resolutions
Research shows that 25% of people who make resolutions would have given up by tomorrow, 7th of January! A quarter of people who made resolutions at the start of this year would have given up by tomorrow. Crazy, I thought the year just started! Matter of fact, 46% of people keep resolutions for at...
-
Social Media Distractions
The average social media user spends 2.5hrs per day scrolling through all sorts; pictures, videos, tweets, reels, hashtags & the list is never exhaustive. One of the things I like about this episode is the fact that there is a spotlight through different times of human existence. From the stone...
-
Perspective
Hello there! So let me throw up a hypothetical scenario. You have a glass of water, the water fills half the capacity of the glass holder or container. You then proceed to ask people what you are holding. You should probably know where I am headed with this. Some see it as half empty, others see…

Social Capital
Do you get to wonder how it is that some folks seem to always have people at their beck & call? As a matter of fact, imagine that 2 individuals lose their jobs & almost immediately, one of them already has another job because of certain "strings" he or she could pull. Truth is this, some have…

Work-Life Balance
Loniskolobo by Jesse King! Who remembers the song or who has heard the song? I recall it was song my friends & I used back then in University days after exams. Lecturers showed up pepper! This week's episode of Baseline Bit is about Work-Life Balance. We get faced by several things that we have…

Collaboration in Business
Businesses face a lot of pressures & challenges that are not insurmountable. Truth is these pressures & challenges can ever be confronted headlong all alone. Collaborative efforts might just be what is needed to swim above the tide. Ever heard of Def Jam Recordings? They are major force when it...
-
Lions
The beast referred to as the king of the jungle is the stop for this week's episode. Ever seen the animation movie The Lion King? I recommend it, it reveals quite some about the member of the cat family. Enjoy this episode, let your roar be heard like the lion & enjoy the week.

Social & Dining Etiquettes
Ever heard that people lose job opportunities & several types in this regard over food? Sounds very unlikely but it does happen. Social & Dining Etiquettes are key & that is what this episode is about, it will save you a whole lot of heartaches. Enjoy listening.
-
Budgeting
We get faced with bills from time to time (I like Destiny's Child Bills in this episode). This is unlikely to change. When there are no budgets, you'd wonder where all the money went. Enjoy this episode & put the things in there to practice.

Emotional Appeal of Ventures
Everyone, get in here! We most times feel the decisions people make are rational ones. Well, we are wrong. People make emotional decisions. This episode is targeted at business owners & those who hope to run businesses at some point.
