How United Kingdom(international) students should spend money



Today, I decided to write up something for United Kingdom(international) students. Some students are usually broke, so how can they avoid that. I can remember when I arrived as a student, I had priced a cab and he said £60, I had a somewhat intention of taking the cab when someone said to me always convert your money to the Nigerian currency first before spending so it could help you with your judgement so I applied that logic all through as a student, you get to save money that way cause you will be buying things similar to prices in your country.

Do not buy branded products, tesco, sainsbury, asda and the likes make products of good quality at cheaper prices buy theirs. Cook your food, eat out once in a while, you can try the cafeteria's food in your university just to have the experience maybe their toast, eggs (make sure the food is halal) but the food they have available is not really what you are used to and its a waste of money. That way you don't end up running to your family or friends for money once your pocket money for that month has finished. Make sure the food you eat is halal.

Having a summer job is not a bad idea. Lebara, Lyca offer affordable prices to make international calls,  buy their sim cards. If you stick to this rules you will end up not being broke, insha Allah (if Allah wills). Make sure your job is halal. You could give charity, Allah multiplies it in reward. Stay away from interest, Allah hates interest.

Everything happens according to the will of Allah. Everything should be done for the sake of Allah. Part of doing something for the sake means hoping for a reward from Him. 

Halal is anything lawful Islamically.

These insects have roles they play. For example the bee promotes working as a team " And your Lord inspired the bee: “Set up hives in the mountains, and in the trees, and in what they construct.. Then eat of all the fruits, and go along the pathways of your Lord, with precision. From their bellies emerges a fluid of diverse colors, containing healing for the people. Surely in this is a sign for people who reflect." Quran 16:68-69. "The likeness of those who take to thems...

All about product champions

Hello readers, today I will be writing about product champions. This has do with incorporating the creativity of individuals into your business processes. Basically, staff members are given opportunities to come up with an idea(s) as an individual, then convince other staff members to buy the idea. After other staff members have been convinced about the idea, the company will then appoint a product manager with some capital as well as a team to help the staff member that came up with the idea execute the tasks.

The scope is your strategy must be fit, in other words your strategy must be consistent with the environment your business operates in. When I say environment, I am talking about both external and internal environments.
