What you should learn from Linda Ikeji and Mr Ayedee story

Yeah Linda ikeji blog was removed and restored after 24hrs for plagiarism. well I'm not here for that report (you can read here ) but in a case like this, reasonable ones will learn some good lesson from it while others will wait till it happen to them before they will learn. Linda is one of the top successful bloggers in Nigeria today but I guess some people contributed to her success.After reading what she posted on her blog on how her blog was removed and restored + the person that masterminded the whole thing, I was inspired to drop this piece of words to those who cares to avoid what happen to Linda, u might not be a blogger but what happened to her can happen to anybody regardless of you area because it was more of informal than formal as most of us thought. Though problems can naturally come but believe it most of the problems we encounter in life are cause by us (whether knowingly or unknowing) You will tempted to ask me "how" , wait after reading what I have then you will know how.

Never be ungrateful 

Ungrateful here simply means not show ing appreciation to people that matters, people that help you achieve your dream. Let's simply put it this way, Linda was a little bit ungrateful. According to her,
Mr Ayedee was a friend, mentor and a helper, he ran to him for advice back then but what happen when things started changing for good, when she started making her money. Obviously, She forgot her helper, mentor even though i can't really blame her alot because I know how busy blogging can keep you but no matter what she shouldn't have forgetten him. Shutting her blog was only way  Ayedee thought he could get his darling friend back but to show he meant no harm, he revealed his true identity to her. So always show appreciation when necessary, human being likes to be recognized, respect and appreciated.

Take whatever feeds you serious

Yeah Linda might be at top not because she putted the necessary things in order but she has been in the game for long when there was no competition. Yeah she is blogging fine but she is not blogging fine, now tell me, how can someone be in the game for 8yrs without having her own domain name. There is no doubt that Linda should have been the number 1 in Alaxe ranking in Nigeria if she had put the necessary things in order. So you should always take whatever that put food on your table serious.

Always listen to your environment when necessary

Busy is not an excuse as they said ignorance is not an excuse. There is a limit one can be busy as they said too much of everything is bad". According to Linda, she is not good in replying mail. Your customers are calling you but you are busy producing more product, excellent customer care service aims at improving your business because without them, there will be no you. Note: environment here means the society and people, Giving attention doesn't necessarily mean finance only, it also mean replying,recognition etc. Your customers determines where your business will be tomorrow, so don't play any rough play with them.

Don't be selfish

There is a need to hire more helping hand when your business expand. It will not only boost your brand and make it unique, it will also reduce stress on you. Linda doesn't have any social life as she hardly goes out.(blogging can keep indoor for years if you are doing it alone) I can remember when she said she need s*x in her life again, this can only happen when you try to manage big business all alone. Thank God she is doing it now.

Be a watch dog

Being a watch dog doesn't mean being insure as many might see it rather as an entrepreneur you have to be careful with the people you mingle it, people you share your business tips with. People tends to envy successful person which will turn to jealousy one day. You know what it means when your friend is jealous with your success. So you have to be carefull, don't always show what you get/acquired you're intimidating them.

Note: what you just read doesn't mean hating as some might see it rather a lesson a every reasonable human can learn from such incident. Feel free drop yours below.
