Set things in motion before you resign. Being an entrepreneur is not by proclamation. You need to have the know how and be financially capable. I see a lot of so-called entrepreneurs roaming the street of Lagos with one loaf of Agege bread on one hand and a copy of "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" on the other hand.

you wrong.. no front page here.

HOW JOBLESS ARE YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS??

goldenruby:
My dear if your job PAYS WELL, I beg of you DO NOT QUIT. The entrepreneural market is Saturated. Almost Every graduate/non graduate is now a business person. I understand the joy of being an entrepreneur but please do your home work well before bandwagoning. #My1cent

Tydies:
Pls, don't quit your job. You are going to regret it later. Combine the both and quit when the time is right.

jammani:
Can't you get someone to do that for you while you become the CEO/MD?

With your present job, that's Multiple Streams of Income

Good day all. i have decided to quit my job and go into the Domestic & Commercial cleaning services business and i need advise from those in the industry.

I've always had that entrepreneurial mindset but my parents' pressure for a white collar job made me look for work and i got one in a telecoms servicing company as a project supervisor (of which the PM has left me to do his job while he still goes home with his fat check while i manage my peanut).

To cut the story short, i've always wanted to be an entrepreneur in the cleaning industry and every passing day in this frustrating job makes me feel like my life is slipping away and a passion inside me dying.

i have gained the knowledge after extensive research and due to my strong interest, i've also gone for training.

i want those in the industry, or those with the knowledge of how the industry thrives in Nigeria to help me with professional advise.

is it a profitable business in an envirinment like lagos? whats the prospect for a start up like me etc...

please i will appreciate if this topic hits frontpage so i can get good advise as i intend quitting my job by december and pursue my dream from next year.

thanks.

Reading through comments, I observed no one is actually answering his concerns.

My advise is;

You have to decisive and make the decision. Procrastinating the decision will just keep the issue lingering in your mind.

Do you have capital or access to capital? if yes, then what are you waiting for? Secondly, there are investors everywhere you just need to find them and pitch your idea.

Do you strongly believe in your idea? if yes, then commit yourself totally to it and you will surely make it. First year will be difficult no doubt, but if you hang on and pass through the difficult period, you will soon become an employer.

Are you a family man? if not, then this is the best time to leap into entrepreneurship. it is very liberating especially if you know what you are doing.

How much are you receiving as salary? can you save from it to start your business? if yes, save some money which you will use personally so you don't depend on any1

Is entrepreneurship your dream? if yes, then take the leap out of the plane. when you do, you will slowly build your self.

People fail to realize that entrepreneurship is a job and you can even have different businesses. Nigeria has groomed most of us to believe that you can only make a living from a white collar job. But guess what, it is a lie. Having your business at a young age is the best feeling.

People think only of failure. Am not saying that failure is not possible. it is and you will probably fail. if you do, you become tougher and more focused to be successful. Furthermore, just think you are successful in your business. You become a role model to so many.

In summary, assess yourself and make the decision. With Planning, hard work, smart work and determination any business you do will be successful

Hope I helped out.

Peace

I thought about it too. But my current job will not give me the chance to do anything else.

I travel alot. And I intend to really grow into any business I want to go into.

So I'll need to go in fulltime

contact chogon on nairaland

CriticalThought:
No where in your write up did you mention anything about a business plan. Do you have one? Have investors looked at it in order to give you advice, feedback and funding?
I strongly urge you to start from there
When you create a business plan, it will critically allow you to think about all the things relating to your business idea and determine the feasibility

It's so encouraging to be your own Boss.
But fear women, they can swallow all your hard earned money & you will pack your slippers and one jeans go village.

Oh! Lawd.

By the way, I'm not married and my relationship ended like two months ago. So i don't have any responsibilities except rent money.

I have written my business plan and even applying for some entrepreneur training programs too.

And my target is Domestic and commercial cleaning services
