Hi Nairalanders,

I am currently in need of counsel. I am a 32 yr old banker. Unmarried. Been working in the bank for over 6 yrs. I have been able to save a good amount. I have always desired to start a business of mine. I have a registered company with active accounts.

I have tried to start businesses on the side while working.  I have not been able to get it off the ground solely because my job gives me no time to make it happen. 

An elderly man once advised me, if I ever want to start a business its best before u get married and the responsibilities of marriage run you down.

Do I quit banking and face business head long? Do I keep working, because of the fear of failure in business? Do I put my self together and go to Canada for my masters, then what next?

Ex bankers who moved on to bigger things, what instincts lead you to knowing the time was right to quit and follow your dream to build your business?

Bless U.

the biggest risk in life is " NOT TRYING AT ALL".
