# You must start big business to make big money
Interesting! And this idea is what holds many back from ever plunging into a business foray and make it big.
But the question is –how many things in this world ever started big? Is it the “dongoyaro” tree in my village square which have become a refuge of a sort to many or yourself staring at this screen presently weighing 80kg or 100kg compare to your birth-weight.
Many big companies or organization started as a small one and subsequently developed into a big organization. It is just patience, tenacity and courage of the promoters that serve as an impetus to achieve such organizational growth.
Many great companies we have today stated small but with a great idea today they are big business with deep pockets.
Consider this
- In 1980, MICROSOFT was a 7million dollar company with just 40 employees but today Bill Gates, the founder is worth billions of dollars in asset and his company is present in many countries.
- Aliko Dangote started with less than a million naira in the late 70s’but today we eat pastries from his flour, drink his bottle water, live in houses built with his cement and drink tea with sugar made by his company.
- Wal-Mart creator, Sam Walton started out with a Ben Franklin variety store, he bought in Newport- a town of 7,000 people. If you had bought a Wal-Mart stock worth $1,650 in 1970, it would be worth about $3million today.
- In starting out to democratize automobile as Henry Ford dreamt, Ford Motor Company was capitalized at $100,000 with $28,000 cash at hand.
- Zenith bank that is so ubiquitous in Nigeria started as a lone branch in Lagos.
- You were born with about a birth weight of 2.8kg ,a dependent human being,you can’t walk, you can’t verbalise and you do all ‘things” for someone else to come and clean up. But what are you today? You can at least read this and possibly share it. Therefore GET UP! JUST DO SOMETHING...
