CHEERS 🥂 TO TWO WEEKS TO ETERNITY

In 2014, I wanted to buy a wallet but I ran into two problems

1. The quality of the items I was seeing were not good enough for me
2. The packaging was shabby...

Well, that was the beginning of an entrepreneurial journey that has taken me to the mountains of euphoric excitement from victories 😃😁 and the valleys of despair and sadness from crashing defeats.🙁

Over the last two weeks though, I have had the privilege of sharing a bit of my journey with you all through my posts and it's been such an amazing experience.

The truth is, I have a lot to offer my world, so much that it's shocking to me ‼️Not just direct skills on how to craft super world class packaging and leather works but also life experiences that I have picked up and that has shaped my perspectives and shifted my paradigms over and over again and it's just so much injustice to keep all these to myself ..

So I pledge to myself to keep doing this come rain 🌧️, come shine ☀️ because this is my gift to my world and I believe that millions will be blessed, I mean ask yourself; WHAT WOULD JESUS DO ❓

So , cheers to two weeks of consistently posting value adding content ...and let's go for the next two weeks till forever ‼️

WHAT FEELING DO YOU GET WHENEVER YOU SEE THE SUN ☀️ RISING?

My greatest joy whenever I get to see a new day is that the divine one has gifted me another opportunity to add my flavour to this world. 🌎

The rising of the sun 🌞 is my prompt to joyfully get up and go after impacting my world with my smile
😊, my gestures, my warmth 🤗, my writing ✍️ , my products 🎁, my dance (occasionally) and every channel through which I have the privilege to leverage.

I do it knowing that its not a right to be alive but a privilege for which I will be eternally grateful! 🙏

So for you I ask again, what feeling do you get whenever you see the Sun ☀️ rising?

Share with me in the comments section..I am waiting ...😁

I grew up hearing the name Chief Obafemi Awolowo, and the testimony was that he stood for excellence which made him an enigma and a visionary who was light years ahead of his peers. At SHAWNS we have lived by the mantra captured in my inspired quote for years now which helps us resolute in doing excellent work, one project at a time.

As we go to the voting booths 🗳️ today for the local government elections in Lagos Nigeria, let's have this at the back of our minds and choose leaders who carry excellence in their DNA, 🧬 it will determine the future of our nation because "Excellence Never Goes Out Of Fashion"

OUR DNA 🧬 EMBEDDED IN OUR BRAND COLORS AND FONT

The colors RED and BLACK capture the heart for our brand symbolizing the bold and confident personality our craft exudes and the creative genius behind these colors and our unique logo is the gentleman's gentleman Duke Ogunbor I salute you sir. I will do my best to explain the thought behind his inspiration.

Red 🔴 and Black ⚫ symbolize intense active energy and serious authority; a dynamic contrast and in the printing and branding space, maximum visibility is key 🗝️

Simply put, our brand depicts Focused Energy.

For the font, it speaks of clarity and solidity with a pinch of fun.
Ultimately, we create and always seek to create excitement ⚡ out of the boring, adding class and grace 🦚 to the quiet briefs imprinting our products with our DNA.

This is the brand story of SHAWNS PHILLIPS PACKAGING ENT. established in 2014.

MY DILEMMA AS A PACKAGING AND BRANDING PROFESSIONAL

"Mr Shawns, I want you to produce some boxes 🎁 for me, I am not sure of the colours yet, I think I want it to be thick but not really that thick. A mix of rectangle and a bit of square."

"It can be colourful but not too colourful, there could be see through top and partially covered too..just something very nice and really attractive..."

"So how much is the cost 💰 and can I get them by weekend ❓"

Believe me, that was the brief I got from a particular client sometime back, to say I was confused 🤔 would be an understatement‼️

The needs and wants of clients in the printing and packaging industry are as diverse as the Chameleon and as shapeless as the Amoeba 🦠

Some mistakes I have identified over the years are:
1. Assuming the cost of production should be static
2. Assuming the permanent availability of materials
3. Assuming a specific design and quality is not achievable within Nigeria
4. Not having a broad enough product range to deal with sudden change in government policy direction
5. Over expectation in terms of delivery timelines...

Well, for over a decade now we have evolved, learnt, un learnt and had to relearn in order to meet whatever is thrown at us.

A major part of our process is discussing in detail the requirements of each project and coming to agreeable deliverables on materials, timeline, material availability, design concept, current cost implications and several other misconceptions in the industry to help us give the best to the customer, as often as possible. ✍️

We aren't there yet but we are definitely on course to being an industry leader in a few years time.

BAN ON SINGLE USE PLASTIC - MY TAKE

Earlier this month the Honorable Commissioner of Environment and Water Resources in Lagos State announced the ban 🚫 on single use plastics 🧋🥤🥣less than 40 microns. At first sight, this is laudable, as it will help in making our environment cleaner or will it really❓🤔

I am of the humble opinion that we should have started with a statewide campaign 🗣️🗣️👂 on Attitudinal Change as regards environmental sanitation and basic citizen responsibility for their environment 🔆 before banning the product.

One major factor overlooked by the government is the loss of massive revenue📉 to the manufacturers of the items and reduced tax 💰 remittance to the government.

My recommendation:
1. Reward the return of such plastics to recycle plants, 🍼 🔙
2. Campaign massively on having the right attitude to environmental sanitation 🌿 🍀
3. Introduce the substitute being bio degradable single use items♻️
4. Then over a period of three years, phase out the plastics.

Just the humble opinion of a Nigerian business owner based in Lagos who understands the pains of keeping business afloat in a harsh business climate.

MY AHA ‼️ MOMENT

Last week while in my units mid-year review meeting I saw first hand the essence of who I am playing out in 4k 📸

My team and other members across the country were in a strategic meeting analyzing our challenges for H1 of 2025, a question was raised and we thought we had done justice to it but alas we were wrong. A calm voice split the call like a double edged sword ⚔️...IT WAS THE MD/CEO ‼️😯 no one knew we was listening to our conversation ..He asked a simple "WHAT IF" question that landed like a thunderbolt ⚡totally disrupting the thinking and direction of the meeting...opening up new vistas of possibilities we never explored till then, AHA ‼️

You see I have come to learn that NOTHING IS CAST IN STONE, I have the understanding that there are always several ways to do the same thing IF only we can think outside the box 🎁 and that mindset has always helped me to tackle critical problems by just asking WHAT IF❓

WHAT IF we had 24/7 light in our country❓

WHAT IF every child in Nigeria is educated ❓

WHAT IF poverty is a thing of past in Nigeria❓

WHAT IF my product and service were delivered to global standards❓

Asking WHAT IF to seemingly conclusive situations throws up AHA ‼️ moments that could transform your entire paradigm

I am Oluwaseun Phillips and I deliver joy and deep satisfaction to my patrons...Everytime 😄

Blossoming in my place of Grace

The last one week has confirmed that I am great working with teams despite being introverted, especially when I'm required to help others blossom in their closen fields.

All that is required is an opportunity, a need, a challenge...and the critical, creative thinking problem solver appears to contribute his quota so the collective can thrive and keep soaring.

So here is a word of encouragement to myself and everyone out there who doesn't like the limelight yet wants to make global impact; It Is Possible‼️

Just keep working on yourself, continue to engage with your community and the opportunity to shine will present itself...

Cheers to a week of blossoming in our places of grace

🙏
