RELAX – you are actually doing well. A Small fix, the next level will come.

0

People – RELAX and take it easy. The world is not falling apart and I can assure you that you are doing well. I read lines like “my career is in a mess” from members these days. I have these words for you: do not be too hard on yourself. BELIEVE does not end when things are not working. The last I checked, PATIENCE has not been removed from the dictionary. Sure, things are hard in Nigeria but  if you look deeper, you are making progress.

To get to that next level you are dreaming, you must use the progress you have made ALREADY. Most times, our success was past tense and always forgotten because the next level has not come! Here in the Church in America, they celebrate secondary school graduates, congratulating them, for staying and graduating. Who does that in Nigeria? For us, finishing WAEC is nothing!

She made Second Class Lower (2.2) in college, and the god is now 2.2. For her, she has not achieved anything. Every move in her career is dictated by that 2.2. Unless you see that 2.2 as progress, that next level will not come. 

Build on the small wins you have made, and continue to push. Get into productive things and have a plan. And be OPEN to your future. To have that translation, you need a positive attitude and if you have that, more wins will come.

Do not write to me with “my career is in a mess”. No, your career is sending a new signal. Pay attention and update your playbook. The future is full of abundance and you have a portion in it. A strong personal economy is not just about working all the time; it requires a strategy to win and defend  the future (with grace of course). Relax, think over this thing they call a career. Your wins of today are pillars for the ones unborn. But those futures will come if you acknowledge that those are indeed wins.

Have #confidence and continue to push yourself to be better than “you of yesterday” with optimism and a plan, connecting with people, productively. Audition for that next level before men and women even when there is no available role.

Comment: If you believe that your career or life is stagnating, just replace whoever that is your grader or umpire, and you will see the progress you have made. You cannot be marking yourself down when the universe is in your favour.

High Temperature Crash of Bitcoin Burns Celsius which Files for bankruptcy

0

The thermometer reading is showing a really high number in celsius, not fahrenheit. Yes, cryptocurrency giant, Celsius, has gone bankrupt. High frequency and flash temperature crash of Bitcoin is the reason: “the New Jersey-based firm had accumulated more than $20 billion in assets by offering depositors interest rates as high as 18%”. If you have that type of positioning, you will be off in principal and severely wounded in interest rate when the asset is crashing in days.

In banking, you are in a double whammy scenario and the outcome is always predictable: bankruptcy. The only pain is that a “decentralized world” of crypto believers  is coming back to a centralized system of bankruptcy. Why is that necessary? It comes down to one thing: every crypto derives its existence from a system, and that system is managed by a government. 

That is why no one has started a crypto company in my village, in Abia State, because jurisdictions matter for competitive advantages. If crypto is indeed wholly decentralized, the distribution of creators will be unbounded and unconstrained by geography. My point is this: stop the illusion that your coin is out of the reach of governments! Nothing like that.

Troubled cryptocurrency lender Celsius Network has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, a month after it froze more than a million customer accounts. Before halting withdrawals, the New Jersey-based firm had accumulated more than $20 billion in assets by offering depositors interest rates as high as 18%. Celsius is the latest casualty of a crypto crash that has wiped out $2 trillion in value. Crypto broker Voyager Digital filed for bankruptcy last week and major crypto hedge fund Three Arrows Capital sank into liquidation late last month. (LinkedIn News)

Twitter Reveals That It Has No Intention To Layoff Workers

0

Micro-blogging platform Twitter has disclosed that the company has no intention to lay off staff, but would continue to restructure the business as some organizational changes will take place as it heads into a legal battle with Tesla CEO Elon Musk over the potential sale of the platform.

This is coming after employees at the company expressed concerns after Elon Musk disclosed that when he takes over the company, he has a preference for cutting headcount moderation and other costs, decreasing content creation as well as limiting remote work.

However, the company revealed in May that it would pause hiring and review all existing job offers to determine whether an employee should be called back or not. Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal further revealed that Twitter is currently on hold from hiring and the company will also pause in spending in most areas.

In his words, “We are not planning company-wide layoffs, but leaders will continue making changes to their organizations to improve efficiencies as needed. Some have been asking why a lame-duck CEO would make these changes if we are getting acquired anyway. While I expect the deal to close, we need to be prepared for all scenarios and always do what is right for Twitter”. 

Last month, the company revealed its plans to retain employees by offering them packages. It however disclosed that it is losing workers at a slightly higher rate than in normal economic times. The company further disclosed its plan to monitor employee turnover to ensure that they quickly take care of areas that call for concern, and help mitigate the problem where possible.

As Twitter heads into a legal battle with Elon Musk, in its lawsuit tendered at the Delaware Chancery Court, the company asserts that Musk refused to honor his obligations to Twitter and its stockholders because he signed a deal that no longer suits his interest.

Recall that part of Elon Musk’s argument for opting out of the deal was that Twitter breached the agreement when it laid-off two of its top managers and also laid off a third of its talent acquisition team.

However, in its lawsuit, Twitter disclosed that communications from Musk started shortly after the deal was signed showing his concerns about headcount, expense growth, and his desire for more aggressive cost-cutting.

The company revealed that Musk refused to approve or even discuss the company’s proposed retention programs for key employees. However, as the matter is currently in court, there are still doubts as to whether Musk will eventually take over the micro-blogging platform.

Employees at the company are worried about the whole scenario due to Musk’s plan to cut headcount and limit remote work in the company. Recall that Musk had earlier disclosed that any cost exceeding Twitter’s revenue is not a good situation and so he will be forced to do some rationalization of headcount and expenses to have revenue greater than cost.

The future of employees at Twitter however remains uncertain despite the CEO assuring them of no intention to lay off staff members. He however assured them that no lay-off will happen at this time although  he can’t tell the direction Elon Musk would go if he eventually decides to take over the company.

Egypt’s SWVL Boosts Global Expansion with The Acquisition of Mexican Urbvan

0

Egypt’s mobility startup SWVL has continued with its acquisition spree across the globe with an announcement that it has reached a definitive agreement to acquire Mexico-based Urbvan Mobility Ltd (“Urbvan”), a shared mobility platform that provides tech-enabled transportation services to Latin America’s second-largest country by population.

Swvl offers intercity, intracity, B2B and B2G transportation across 135 cities in 20 countries. The Company’s platform provides complimentary semi-private alternatives to public transportation for individuals who cannot access or afford private options.

“We are excited to partner with Swvl as we work to illustrate best practices for tech-optimized day-to-day travel in Mexico. This transaction positions Urbvan to leverage Swvl’s global offerings to scale the platform both within the region and beyond. We look forward to using our combined capabilities to provide safe, efficient, and affordable shared mobility options across the world,” Renato Picard, Urbvan Co-Founder and Co-CEO said.

With its easy to use mobility app, Swvl provides private vehicles, including buses and vans powered by varied payment options.

On the other hand, Urbvan provides tech-enabled transportation services that aim to improve both qualities of life and safety standards of bus travel across vast geographical distances. Integrating mobility patterns with a shared vehicle aggregator platform, Swvl’s acquisition of Urbvan provides an excellent opportunity to accelerate Swvl’s mission to provide safer, faster, smarter, and more affordable mass transport for everyone no matter where they live.

Founded in 2016, UrbVan operates in 18 cities across Mexico with solutions for urban routes, intercity routes, for private organizations and for private on-demand needs. What the two companies have in common is their commitment to provide affordable, efficient transportation options free of harassment and other unsafe conditions.

“Urbvan was founded on the same principles as Swvl: to address the inefficiencies found in traditional mass transit in many parts of the world. With a significant footprint in Mexico, an impressive suite of Transport as a Service (TaaS) offerings, and strong relationships with local government players, this acquisition reinforces Swvl’s position as a leading provider of safer and more reliable mobility solutions which are required for vulnerable people living in densely populated, challenging markets with vast geographies,” Mostafa Kandil, Swvl Founder and CEO, said.

For Swvl, UrbVan’s acquisition is a big addition to its goal to increase its global footprint to 135 cities in 20 countries.

The company acquired Viapool in 2021 to expand its market into Argentina and Chile. In April 2022, it did a double – acquiring Volt lines to penetrate the Turkish market and also reached an agreement a few days later to acquire UK-based mobility startup, Zeelo for $100 million.

Urbvan offers a complimentary suite of TaaS mobility solutions with high growth potential. The company has over 450,000 registered users and over 9m tickets sold to date and a B2B client base of over 80 organizations, including large multinational companies.

With focus on densely populated areas, UrbVan has 27 anchor routes in México City. The company has recorded 138% revenue CAGR since 2017.

“The acquisition of Urbvan contributes towards all the key objectives of our recently announced portfolio optimization plan: opportunity to enhance margins, turn cash flow positive in 2023, focus on high profitability segments TaaS and SaaS, expand in higher ticket fare markets and extract more value from our proprietary technology stack. Today’s announcement reinforces Swvl’s commitment to back regional champions in the mobility space,” Youssef Salem, Swvl CFO said.

The acquisition is expected to be completed in Q3 2022.
