I've been doing this 50k job since january.. At first after my Nysc I told my self I wasn't going to work for nobody..

So I started Catfish farming in a small way...


But along the line I got a contact job 2 months after I completed my Nysc.. The company is talking of making me a permanent staff by january 2017 but I am not loving the job.. All I want to do is go back to Catfish farming because That's where my heart and Love is.

Another mind Is giving me serious caution.. "If you quit, you aint coming back you know?

So the Big question pops up. Can you quit your job, to start your own Business?

You have to be sure of what you want. Do you have a good understanding of the business you want to get into? The choices we make in life make or break us. I came across an inspiring article tittled 'Life Choices' on www.kayceeinspires.com .It is a must read

Most Nigerians will probably advice you to keep your day job while you moonlight on your passion after hours. That advice sounds reasonable but it comes from a place of desperation and greed- it won't work. You can't serve 2 masters and love them equally, you will be found wanting somewhere. Thats how someone would spend 15 years in a banking sector job and expect to "hit the ground running" as a music artiste or as a producer. That's just funny. If you're really passionate about fish farming, you need to give it your all- start learning on the job right away. You will have to focus on your passion and turn it into a business.
Consult professionals widely- seek counsel from friends and family who are lawyers, accountants, business development and marketing consultants on how to grow your business. If you must quit, then be ready to give it your all, otherwise, don't even bother unless you wish to leave it the level of a hobby.
I made this decision about 9 years ago and haven't looked back since. Your greatest asset is your time and as an entrepreneur, you have the prerogative to determine how you invest it.
I wish you all the best.
u said it all..u have to give up on others things to make it work..focus on one..pursue your drms..drms do really come true...forget about the job and focus on ur business,it's not gonna be easy but it will worth it..u need sacrifice,there are gonna be time u will starve,broke and realdy to quite...but don't quite..it's a normal trial for every entrepreneur..I was working on a job I hate,the pay was ok 50k..but was affecting my health..I took the courage to quit ..people called me loser/fool..I went tru alots and there was this regretting thing..but I didn't give up ..and today I have my own car..two branches and at list I can pay my siblings fees in the university..I'm just 27yrs old girl who fears the lord..believe me dedication pays and most of my old workers then are still struggling in their job up till now..some keeps calling me and all.....see not everybody know this..if I have business idea..just thank God for it.its a blessing...make ur final decision and u won't regret ..I PROMISE..
