Hmm I really don't want to start picking on what you said one by one but since you ask for something to read. please visit.

it should be very educative i think  Wink
 

Very informative indeed. Bring on the salt ...  Seems that he - as a person - is indeed full of crap.

I will continue the read and come back to topic once I've gone through the whole article.

But please, do pick on what I said, one can only learn from discussion

To start a business there is need to create master plan and study the market that u are interesting before goingin to any business.

Been an entrepreneur is not a day job there is special need for u to focus on particular area study it, make contact to does who are currently in the system and ask them on area that which u are not cleared/familier.

Dont just inter like that.

I just read some of the responses to this posting. The only problem we guys abroad are having in investing in our young entrepreneurs back home is the trust factor. There are a lot of us that would love to invest in good projects without siphoning fellow partners especially the brain part of it if you know what I mean.  One of my friends went into business with a guy back home, here was a guy who represented himself as good businessman, Godfearing and all that until the business started to flourish and all of a sudden home boy burnt rubber with money, started developing property and kept telling my friend story after story until he got him arrested by intelligent services. It's not everyone that has access to intelligent services, the legal system is not reliable even if you have a contract the court system, and or the police can frustrate you. We all hope that these wind of change that is currently blowing in Naija would stay steady and stronger and our country would become better. As I always am, I'm so proud of you guys for all the efforts you are making back home, irrespective of how tough it is you are still making such difference as this. Keep up the good work.

the day i quit my job to work for myself will be the happiest day of my life. my job has me so stressed that my hair's falling out.  i have a little international business on the side but i am planning towards laying down full time on the beach eating something sweet and sticky watching the waves and not giving a hoot about how many hours are in the day.  Grin

to anyone wanting to start a business. do it. do your homework well.the first few years will be the hardest. but then will come the big break.  Cool
true. guys back home may not run the business with as much passion. don't let that deter you. find someone you can trust and pay them well. no one works for free!

joftech ! what in the world is your problem? What are you doing? encouraging yourself and those who care to share your opinion that a university degree and especially in Nigeria is not worth it. If that’s your thinking then no where in the world is it worth it.
Everyone out of the university still have to add value to their life by improving on or acquiring additional skill after graduation, it’s the same all over the world whether you school in Nigeria or not. Wake up! Stop excusing yourself and get some schooling it pays in many ways even if you hope to or you already running your own business. By the way you dint tells us whether or not you are running your own business or still working with that cyber cafe where you started your life.

Talking about Bill gates, yes! he isn't a university graduate doesn't mean he never took part. He dint complete his university degree and record shows he was doing very well while at the university. He dropped out of the university to face his programming life not seating at cyber café reading encyclopaedias. In any case he was enrolled in and been thought by lectures for the period he was there. Wake up! and get yourself strengthened up. You’re talking like you’re comparing yourself with bill gates, ok, tell us, what have you achieved and how did you get there? we're talking about peoples experiences on "Starting a business" the ups and down! . Stay in and not out of focus.

It's funny how I'm yet to start a company even after all these years since we started the thread.

@ Poster I have the same mentality several years back, Fortunately I worked in a cafe too before starting up.
I remember telling myself same thing, NEVER NEVER to study in this country, WHY, simply because I see it as a waste of time(i work in a cafe in unilag then, So i can tell u i have a first class experience of what a time wasting adventure it was), I for one believe in the knowledge you grab & use,  not in the paper you possess (CERTIFICATE) but the irony of it ,
our people believe in the certificate even when they cheat in exams/ JOB test.

I personally won't work again for any organization again, consulting is fair,  but I still need the certificate even if it's naija base.

WHY,  because fortunately/unfortunately your system ask for it. ,  (NOW am considering getting the certificate but not one that will waste my time. so I opt for the NOUN. men I won't use it for a job search but for  ref to my kids.
Why simply because even some parent that don't have certificate, you hear them say I'll do everything to educate my kids(certificate) i tell you in the coarse of this struggle ofr cert. the kids pursue the certificate and eventually don't see beyond it nose.

@ all thanks for your insights
starting up for me, was like a child learning to walk, you stand and fall and stabilize with time. Be innovative always think outside the box and you'll definitely fail forward,

in 3 words,  PLAN,  EXECUTIVE,  CASH (to work with even if it's small).

I'm saying this because I started my business with my 8k salary then, needless telling u , it was very challenging,

RIGHT NOW AM REPACKAGING THE ENTIRE BUSINESS , PARTNERS ARE WELCOME.
