“There is something we call 9090 rule.

“It is as simple as whatever business you are doing or about to start, you have to spend 90 percent of your time, energy, and resources for 90 days non stop.

“The reason why you do that is for you to be able to bring out the challenges that your business will give you.

“When you are able to come up with the problems in 90 days, you pay extreme attention to it; then it will be easier for you to find the solutions.

“So the structure you are going to put after 90 days will be such that you have identified in the last 90 days,” he said.
