I'm currently working in a well paying job. However, there is no job satisfaction anymore & it's beginning to take toll on my health. I have always wanted to tread the entrepreneurship path & I have been able to save some money for that purpose. I have interest in the businesses below.
1. Intercity transportation
2. Small scale tissue paper production
3. Oil palm plantation

I can only venture into one for now. Please I need your advice.

Hw is it taking a toll on ur health?

At Sichri,

Please can my friend take over your role wherever you work now? I posted on a thread a few minutes ago about badly wanting to help a bestie land a good job before the year ends.

No kidding guy I'm serious. Coming back to you though I think you should start one of the businesses you mentioned above WHILE keeping your day job.

Start & grow your business to a reasonably profitable point then you can quit. I once read an article online on extra streams of income and the author encouraged readers to maintain their day jobs while they generate extra streams of income.

His advice was sound and very sensible it is advice I intend to take as I pursue my own hopes & dreams regarding business but with a view to quitting full time employment once I get things to a profitable level.

The job is so stressful that you hardly have time to think of something else. If not I actually wanted to start it on the side. But mehn, it is not easy at all.

Guy don't leave your job.

The reason u don't have time for anything else is becos they have paid u for ur time.

Remember that in business there is "profit" and "loss"

I totally feel you I quit a job the first quarter of this year for similar reasons but your case better pass my own. My pay wasn't so great and the workload superseded the pay

I was emotionally & mentally stressed out. Anxiety & stress were constant companions l eagerly looked forward to weekends and dreaded having to resume work on Mondays through Fridays.

That job took a toll on me and I reacted to the stress by over indulging in junk food and gaining weight in the process. Weight gain or loss can sometimes be brought on by stress as I later learnt from one of Hygeia's literature flyers.

Forgive me, I digress too much when this is not about me. If I were in your position I would stay and fight to make my business work before bouncing. I would stay because like you said the money is good right?

I quit that job because the pay wasn't all that - it wasn't commensurate with the stressful experiences I was having.

@yomi007k & @sihom, thank you very much.
