Nice write up. I know salary earners who earn btw 500k - 2.5 million, and I know entrepreneurs who earn less than 30k monthly. U think Dangote, Adenuja and many other top business men are not funded by politicians? Politicians dont know what to use money for e.g. Yakubu. Nobody wey no fit to make am. It's all about you |
Re: What No One Is Telling You About Your Job by louqas: 6:32am On Feb 14, 2017 |
Good write up. But everyone cannot be entrepreneur . The entrepreneur will also need people th o work for them so in the end some if not most people will still have to work for someone. I would have gone on to talk about this write up if only it wasn't an advertisement for your blog and profession. importexpert: |

fact is, if you have reserved capital, go learn something after schooling and start the biz/company early enough before ur 25th birthday. If you dont have capital, work for someone and plan your exit latest within 10yrs....not so easy but worth it after all. If you are opportuned to borrow loans, make good use of it to acquire assets. |

Well, i don't actually reply to posts such as this but today i decided to put in some response; i have got some time on my plate. I don't agree with what you said because they seem not to be true. All you said does not apply to 'salaried people' alone but they are rather assertions that cut across every one whether 'salaried' or not. It would have been better for you to title your post as "Reasons why you should consider a second stream of income". I will pick your reasons one after the other: You job can not make you rich. This is a blatant lie. You statement is the same as saying "been your own boss may never make you rich". So, why do you have to be your own boss? Take note of the auxillary verb 'may'. This is because it is a relative statement rather than a sweeping generalization. So, why are you making a sweeping statement about salaried people? Who tells you my job can't make me rich? How do you even define rich? My short answer to this question would be: uzoclinton:Your job can make you rich big time. The key is to grow the 'rich' into wealth by creating another stream of income. I am not wealthy but I am relatively comfortable. The point now is, am I satisfied? What we should preach is, don't be satisfied with your current position, strive to achieve more; sky is just the beginning. You job can blind you to life realities So can your personal business or your education or your up-bringing or parentage or anything you can think about. Linking this to being an employee only does not just make sense. it paints a picture that you are right but then you are far from the truth. Been blind to life realities is not a resultant effect of being an employee but rather a possible effects of so many situations and life factors. Learn more than how you work This is a piece of advice that applies to both employee and employer of labour. In fact, this is the only piece of advice i totally agree with in your posts. So, this is rather a piece of advice and not a reason for anything you might have asserted. You are not in control if you need salary This is another lie. I assume you probably have some online business going for you, that does not make you have control either. If there is no remittance from Ad sense (or what ever online biz you are into), do you have control? Would you not feel edgy about non-remittance. I tell you, there are many salaried people that would not fringe when their salaries are delayed. You know why? The rule to financial independence is, "some part of what you earn is yours to keep (save) and live within what remains " - Excerpts from Richest man in Babylon. The bottom line is, you are not in control if you don't have money; and being your own boss does not necessarily result into you being rich. You are responsible for your financial state Been an entrepreneur or making money for yourself does not necessarily translate into you "living beyond your job" (quote from OP) and neither does working someone. I think the key should be, does what you do make you fulfilled? Now being fulfilled is very broad and this word is used here in its entire sense. Been an entrepreneur may not even make you feel fulfilled, so what's fuzz about been your own boss? By the way, i work for someone and I'm doing what i love with every sense of fulfillment. Yes, my purchasing power has dropped considerably due to recession but then so does everyone's purchasing power in Nigeria. This is not a big deal. As i said earlier, what everyone needs is a second or third or fourth stream of income. No one should rely on one even if you are an entrepreneur. If you are struggling and your take-home pay can no longer take you home; it is high time you re-examined why you are doing what you are doing whether you are an employee or an employer. If you are always broke before your next pay (as an employee or entrepreneur), you need to change how your work or where you work. This is just my one kobo contribution. 2 Likes |

uzoclinton:The way you guys just quickly pull out the bill gates/dangote card like it is as easy as a nursery chant. Besides, have you even achieved up to your father?... See the way your mouth is sweeting you in ranking people. Anybody can go broke and anybody can be rich. It sometimes only takes circumstances beyond your control to change fortunes. Goodluck being bill gates. |

Brilliant post... Ayowumie . So mny people just regurgitate what they dont even understand to please their fantasies. People for get that there is what you call standard of living. If a business was giving me 5 figures and after some success I start getting 7 figures take home, and I decide to increase my standard of living along thereby accumulating more expenses, am I rich or wealthy or whatever you guys call it. If I was on a 5 figure job and get a new one paying 7 figures and still maintain around the same living standards, am I broke? People just talk what they dont know. In any circumstance, and with the natural uncertainties with life, It is very essential that one saves and one has multiple sources of income, whether as an entrepreneur or as a Career person. |

no one is every in control of a job.... anything can happen along the line. The more reason, every individual should have at least some other income streams that are in charge or have control over |
