RAGE Circle⭕️

Before you start making New Year resolutions or drawing up plans for 2027, take a moment to look back. How have you performed in the last 10 months? What have you achieved? What could you have done better? And, if you had to score yourself, what would your score be? This November on RAGE Circle, we’re taking a step back to evaluate our performance in 2026, assess our progress, identify the gaps, and score ourselves before we begin setting goals for 2027. Because you cannot plan effectively for where you’re going if you haven’t honestly assessed where you are. See you in class!

5/5 
Every business has seasons.  If you take everything in the good months, what carries you through the bad ones?  Define your income. Leave the business its blood.

4/5 
Four things every leader must know:  Revenue is not profit. 
Profit is not cash. 
Company money is not personal money. 
A profitable company can still die from poor cash flow.

3/5 
A business has a life of its own. It needs to be able to survive by itself.  In your body, blood flows. In a business, cash flows.  Take it all out and the business cannot live.

2/5 
Imagine earning a salary and sending every naira to your parents the day it lands.  That is what many founders do to their businesses.

1/5 
A founder told me his business makes about ₦110 million a month.  Then he said, “I can snap my finger and my staff are gone. But the money is my own.”  That is how businesses die.

Loyalty to a company is great, but competence is what keeps the company moving forward. 
Staying in a company for years is one thing, but what value are you bringing to the table? 
Should loyalty earn you a promotion, or should competence speak for itself? 
Let’s hear your thoughts.

5/5 
Pruning is part of care.  Everybody only wants the watering.  Which poor performer are you enabling right now?

4/5 
Whatever the reason, everybody learns the same lesson.  The poor performer learns there are no consequences. 
The good performer learns there is no point.  Leaders create what they permit.

3/5 
Why do leaders avoid confronting poor performance?  You like them. 
They are more confident than you. 
They knew you before you got here. 
Or you have feelings you should not have at work.

2/5 
One day I raised my hand.  “Sir, all of these things you have said, I didn’t do any of them. Who is the person? Address the person. Leave me alone.”

1/5 
I once worked under a leader who called a meeting every time something went wrong.  The whole office would sit through it.  The person who caused the problem was never addressed.

Revenue is not profit, profit is not cash. Company money is not personal money, and a profitable company can still die from poor cashflow. #Business #RAGECircle

Sometimes, it is not that you lack the competence or that opportunities are not coming your way. It is that your habits are making it difficult for people to trust you with greater responsibility. Imagine a scenario where a client calls on Saturday at 1PM, needs something delivered and because of that if we found you worthy of the person to deliver at that time, and you say your phone is on DND, the next time we won’t consider you. You may never know which opportunity your next action is preparing you for or costing you. Don’t let indiscipline cost you what hard work has been preparing you for. #CareerGrowth #RAGECircle #9To5Life

Should employees be loyal to their careers or their jobs? You have every right to resign and pursue your career, but if a company has invested in you, do you owe them some consideration before choosing yourself? At what point does loyalty become an obligation? Let’s hear your thoughts. Whose side are you on? 👇 #RAGECircle #HereWeGrow #WorkplaceCulture

Sometimes, the expansion you’re planning is the very thing that will kill your business. You’re struggling to manage two clients, your systems aren’t working, and your operations are poorly structured. Yet, you want to expand into another country. You cannot scale chaos and expect excellence. Before you expand, fix what you already have. Strengthen your team, build the right systems, and make sure your business can handle more. Remember, expansion is not always progress. Sometimes, it is death disguised as opportunity. #RAGECircle #BusinessGrowth #Entrepreneurship #Leadership

5/5
In a fair system, the people who go the extra mile should advance faster. Everybody will bear a yoke. Do you want to bear it when you are young, or when you are old?
