Look around you:
- What problems are people complaining about?
- What services are scarce, slow, or poorly delivered?
- What skills are currently in demand in your environment or online?
In Nigeria today, opportunities exist in: digital services, education and tutoring, food and logistics, personal services, online business support, social media trends, skill-based freelancing, etc.
Money moves toward value — not ideas, and Opportunities exist where needs already exist.

Threats are external factors that could reduce the relevance or effectiveness of your skills, including rapid technological change, automation, changing expectations/market needs, or increasing competition.

Ask yourself these: What external factors could slow me down? Is there heavy competition? Do I lack capital, time, or tools? Am I easily distracted or inconsistent?
Threats don’t mean “stop”, they mean “prepare better” (those who plan for obstacles last longer)
