If business were a track event, some people would be sprinters, dashing toward their business goals with precision. Some would be jumpers, leaping over obstacles with energy and risk. And then… there are those who are just standing there, watching others move, pressing their calculator, analyzing, overthinking, and doing absolutely nothing.
Sounds familiar right?
Running means speed and strategy. Jumping is all about timing and confidence. Being stuck? That one is like standing at a bus stop but refusing to enter a bus because you’re waiting for an air-conditioned chariot that is never coming. In business, these three categories define how entrepreneurs handle money—especially running capital. And let’s be honest, if your money isn’t running, neither is your business.
So, which one are you? Let’s find out.
The Runners: They Understand the Money Marathon
Running in business is not about sprinting recklessly; it’s about pacing yourself. These people understand that money is like a relay baton—if you don’t pass it forward (reinvest), your business will slow down.
They know that cash flow is the hinge that holds the door of business together. They reinvest, restock, and rotate their funds wisely. They don’t keep all their profit under their mattress or use it to buy chilled coke; they rather put it back into the business, buy more stock, and increase their profit.
Runners don’t wait for luck; they plan, they strategize, and they move. And when they need extra fuel, they know where to find it—Market Monie.
The Jumpers: High Energy, High Risk, High Reward
Jumpers are those hustlers who don’t wait for perfect conditions—they create them. They believe in the philosophy of “If money no dey, we go find am.”
They see an opportunity, they take a loan, they expand, they experiment. Sometimes, they land on their feet like a pro athlete. Other times, they miscalculate and end up in a financial gutter, but they dust themselves off and try again.
Bilal’s story is a classic example. When a fire incident nearly shut down his business, he had every reason to give up. But instead, he leveraged Market Monie’s support, got back on his feet, and now he’s not just jumping; he’s running. Today, his bags of garri and beans are in high demand across town.
Jumpers make bold money moves, and the smart ones know when to land safely. With Market Monie, landing well is easier.
The Stuck Ones: Pressing Calculator, No Action
Now, these ones. Their business is like a car with a driver but no fuel—plenty of potential, no movement. They talk about expansion, they dream about growth, but when it’s time to act, they start doing mathematics that nobody asked for.
They fear spending money, so they calculate every single penny they want to spend. They fear taking loans, so they remain small. They fear reinvesting, so their business stays in the same spot, like a tailor that refuses to upgrade from a manual sewing machine to electric. Stuck people are their own biggest obstacles.
So, Where Do You Stand?
Running, jumping, or stuck—whatever stage you’re in, one thing is clear: movement is key. Money should be running in your business, not standing still like an extra in a Nollywood movie.
If you’re running, keep strategizing.
If you’re jumping, make sure you land well.
If you’re stuck, my dear, it’s time to stop pressing that calculator, calculating will not solve anything, instead, start making moves. A subtle reminder; Stuck people can never stock up their market.
