There must be a balance in our choices.

There is time for everything, find the right time for your job and business drives.

Never find yourself where you are not able to pay your bills because no idea works under such a state. Be warned!

dont mind those mofos... if you examine the 4 quadrants ; employed, self employed, investor, business owner..

you'll notice many pple are eager to join the bandwagon of being self-employed.. esp in a country with poor ROI.. where u dont much capital to do anything.. at the end of the day.. most self-employed pple barely get by. the dont have the time, money , rest, experience most gainfully employed pple have.

and who told them you cant be gainfully employed and run a business ( with staff) and still do things after u leave ur office?

Some people are just daft. They think they know it all.

Do not let anybody deceive you, you need your 9 to 5 to fund your business. Remain in your 9 to 5 and run your business part time, if pissible.

When your business is big enough to pull in funds higher than your 9 to 5, then you can quit.

Thanks for sharing.

However this could be deeper than you think.

What if your life assignment demands a full-time commitment?

A life of PURPOSE is much more fulfilling, even if it means earning lesser income.

Ever wonder why so many "rich" people are suicidal? There is more to life than money.

Shut up

Where is Nigeria today ??

Nigeria is one of the greatest country on earth

You wouldn't know about it because your dumbass is sitting somewhere in Ogun state swallowing Amala and Ewedu

Travel to the USA and tell them you're from Nigeria, you will see their reaction

I know you're an upcoming idiot

Have you been to the USA ??

What's the difference between Nigeria and USA which is the greatest country on earth ??

Stop watching TV and thinking that Europe or America is exactly what they show you

I can take a picture of a street in New York that is worse than Ajegunle

Stop listening to these "quit your job" gurus. There is nothing wrong with working a 9-5 and you need your 9-5 to fund your 6-10 in the beginning.

When you're in the beginning stages of your business, that's the broke, don't know, need help, have no clue stage so why would you quit your job in that state of mind?

These gurus tell you to quit your job but once you quit and don't have any money left to pay them for their services, they are nowhere to be found. They tell you to quit your job, follow your dreams, stop punching that clock for the man, that job is holding you back and all of that is BS.

You are holding you back, not that job. You can work your 9-5 and still have your own business.

Work your 9-5 and your business for as long as you can together. There is nothing wrong with a job check and your business check at the same time.

Do what works for you and your business on your time. Stop letting these people that don't pay your bills dictate how you live your life.

9-5 job ??

God forbid

I know how people are enslaved with that 9-5 job

Growing up i knew i will never work for anyone in my life

I grew up in a little town in Anambra state, started packing blocks and building materials at construction sites, from there got the money to start buying motorcycle and reselling them, from there started going to China and the USA ,15 years later i Know how much i have in my bank account, no one gave me 5 naira

You live in Lagos, Onitsha, Aba and Lagos and you're still working for someone, you're lazy

Money is the easiest thing to do

Lazy people are the ones who take 9-5 jobs

Selling noodles can make you a millionaire​, the question is how do i get the money to start my own business

Again, getting the money for your business is very very easy, i won't teach you what to do, it only takes​ you being smart and intelligent

Sell your phone for a higher price, buy another phone, flip it for a higher price till you graduate to flipping laptops from there you can graduate to buying stuffs from Alibaba

Money is the easiest thing to make

Na so. See as your mouth dey run. So everybody must do business abi?

Whoever said you should "just quit your job?" That's understanding with your brain turned upside down.!

Every intelligent person knows that for anyone to quit a job, something about that job is already a nightmare to him or her. To be considering it, turning it in your mind continously and listening to seminars or people with such message : something already is happening in your spirit. Dissatisfaction? Low wage - even wasted doing or going to the work without savings? Enough money but lack motivation to perform? Perception that you are on a rat race in circles without purpose? Personal dream? Etcetera etcetera

So it's not a call to quit for fun. No one who loves his job would quit. But even if you have a superb job, no intelligent person will not think about the long run because one day; 1. You retire 2. You may be sacked or retrenched 3. Or anything else may happen! Where do you run to?
ENTERPRISE

Not everyone may be enterprising but everyone should learn to be enterprising!

Learn. If you have a job, you love your job, don't ridicule certain messages or messengers because at that moment it doesn't apply to you. Skip and also don't feel anything is wrong with you or belittle yourself for working 9-5 at the moment(in case you have bigger dream plans). So many people today who are reinventing new sources of income to survive were once scrunching their noses at such messages, messengers or those they felt beneath them or that they simply called jobless. Life happens. Be humble!

Good to run both, If everyone owns a business, who will be the professionals working to stimulate the economy? A thriving economy needs mre businesses and more professionals, so infact best to run both if you can, otherwise, stick to what works bests for you, that way, everyone is productive.
Re: There Is Nothing Wrong With A 9-5 Job by Focusmind: 6:06pm On Jan 28, 2019
My people, there is nothing wrong with 9-5 or 8-4 jobs. People have left their well paying jobs to dabble into their so called passion and got burnt big time.

Nigeria business climate could be so unforgiving when it comes to starting business. A lot of huddles to cross. Those without adequate capital and support base will regret it. I have seen it all, though I have not experienced it myself but from people's experience.

If you are working in a decent company and you are happy, please maintain yourself there. If the passion to start something becomes too much, set it up as a side hustle. When the side hustle starts earning income equivalent to your monthly salary or cover your basic monthly expenditures with some disposal income left, then you could decide to quite or better still run both concurrently.

I REPEAT AND I REPEAT AGAIN!!, Do not QUIT your job till your side hustle starts earning substantial income.

Where will you even see a 9-5 job again. It's now 7-6 which is the pro version of the slavery. Which employer will allow you resume for work by 9am and leave by 5 save for these lazy civil service jobs.
