Having a business of
your own is a step towards financial security. Most jobs don’t pay well enough
and many people especially in developing countries like Nigeria need to have
alternative income sources if they are going to meet end means and have some
extra money to their names. As tedious and challenging as it might be, you can
consider starting a business of your own without quitting your paying job. Many
entrepreneurs started this way and they have been successful in making their
business thrive as well as perform adequately at their jobs.
Here are some tips to
be considered by business starters
STICKING TO ROUTINE:
schedule appropriately and make time for each venture. Be accountable for your time
and learn to stick to routine. Adapt to being a boss and an employee at the
same time. Learning how to strike a balance between both jobs would help you
execute them successfully.
LEARN TO FOCUS: adopt
the focus strategy. Do each job diligently when you are at it, be self
discipline and know how to organise your schedule. There is a need for a list
of done and undone projects so you can know what’s next on your to do list.
LET YOUR VISION DRIVE
YOU: most times, you could get tired and worked up. Let your vision motivate
and inspire you. Let your reasons for setting out push you to get better.
Running a side business
isn’t for everyone and there’s absolutely no guarantee of you getting it right
on your first attempt. There is need for patience and persistent effort if you
are going to realise your goals.
