Starting a side business while still working full-
time for another company was by far one of the
most challenging things I ever did. After several
months of researching on WHY to start, WHAT
problem to solve, WHEN to start, WHO to focus
on and HOW to do it, I finally I decided to start. With full conviction that success is inevitable.

Within 3 months I managed to reach quite a few milestones while still working full-time in
another company.

However, the challenges I faced was not as a result of lack of competence but because I'm required to give my best to my pay master.

Below are the challenges:

1. Lack of Time: Time is one of the most valuable tool of an entrepreneur. Imagine as a staffer of a company, you barely have time for yourself and family. Now consider adding an extra task to your limited time.

2. Stress: Owning a business is stressful, not to talk of owing a side business while in full time
employment. The fact, however remain, you
can’t really escape stress in business life.

3. Financing Your Business: Business cant exist without financial resources and many start-up doesn’t have the finance to carry on with business activities. Thus, securing the required finance to start and grow a business is one of the biggest challenges entrepreneurs are facing.

4. Discouragement: With little time, stress and couple with financial problems, self-doubt and discouragement may begin to creep in, and if left unbridled, would cause you to forfeit the business.
