I have been into waste management business for 3 years now. The cost of deisel is driving me out of the business and it forced me to think deeper outside of the box. Many businesses depend on power or fossil fuel for energy. If I can start a business not dependent on these costly energies, the better. I went back into beekeeping which is tantamount to oil exploration. We are in a tropical area with evergreen jungles and an endless volume of nectar waiting to be exploited with the help of bees. With the bees, I just needed to provide them a home, no feeding, no need for power or fossil fuel. I set up my hives and in the same day, one of the hives welcomed a swarm of bees. This development has motivated me to nurse the idea of ditching waste management for beekeeping entirely. When I look at our jungles, I don't see tree and shrubs, I see an endless supply of liquid gold (honey). The early colonization even in a season when they hardly swarm is my motivation that I am moving in the right direction. In addition, 2 queen bees have in their mating flight entered my house in recent month. This looks like a divine message for me to take beekeeping serious. 4 Likes 1 Share

Cajetan4u: The best motivation is to test porverty. I once wrote a note and placed on my door. "IF I MISS IT NOW I WILL BEG FOREVER". With this I confront porverty in a combat style. I told the lies, admit the faults but I never blamed myself for whatsoever I did Wrong. Glory to God is all I can say today. |

The pains and humiliations l experienced when l was an employee motivated me to start my business and turned the pains l experienced during those times to power and purpose. I'm also motivated by realizing that all these 7 to 7 resumption and working round the clock without taking into consideration of holidays to cool and refresh the brain na wash n stress. We open for business 9 to 4 and observe most public holidays,go on leave and still get all things done and still make our good profit by working smartly. Also been able to treat my staff better than how l was treated when l was an employee....and able to yield quickly to the needs of customers.I deal with each customer the way l wanted to be dealth with if l happened to be a customer.This also motivates me. 2 Likes |

God showed me the way through wonderful people I knew and worked with 1.Desire to have a self sufficient means of income without having to steal as my job was obvious would never sustain me. 2. My late boss who I worked with then who was also a business woman also motivated me to continue with my little business that one day I would be happy I never gave up and will have my needs met without having to steal beyond my pay cheque. 3. Coming from a family of business people also motivated me. 4.My early customers also gingered me I could do better and have more giant strides 1 Like |

After Waec and many failed Jambs,come see bright guys academically. Dem dey come show me approval or admission letter. All good, I smiled genuinely. Then I said to myself, this guys need 4-5-7 years to come back and be bosses. I started the hustle immediately and Alhamdililah we here. Doing everything that means we came,we saw and we conquered. Many came back and are now super bosses, many failed and came back and became bosses too. To those that consider themself as failure,i believe their time to shine will come soon. 3 Likes |

Starting a school at the age of 25 years last year in a community where by school proprietors are old and married people. Started the school by renting a shop with no pupil, no chair... Just a plastic table and chair from my room. It was one hell of a ride but with ENTHUSIASM, PASSION AND 'STRONG HEAD', I pull through. The key to any business growth is not to 'use the business chop' in the first few months or year. Well, not that I have 'arrive' now but I am able to pull through the stress of starting. 3 Likes |
