You can do both businesses together. Just put a salesperson in the parts shop and balance your books every other day or so. The school is up & running already, if you give it the required boost you might be able to borrow the funds required by your shop, from the school.

But please DON'T DUPE YOUR MOM like one juvenile on here already did.

You should pursue your dreams.Develop yourself in your business and probably in the future you might even get a job you would like.
Your mom's school business has never been your dream.If you decide to take it up,will you be fulfilled?I can understand how your mom feels about her school but it doesn't automatically make you a successor.
Why not look for someone that fits perfectly to run the school as a principal while you oversee the affairs of the school and still do other things?
Are you the only child?

CeeJay9ja:


That will affect my time of business. I am thinking of running both but Time factor is my problem

Talk2Bella:
the secondary i finished from, all her children manages her school, two had to resign from an oil company in delta to come back to lagos and manage the school, my Mum is a teacher but has a poultry too, my brother manages the poultry and has a small job he's managing, do you understand what i am trying to tell you? if you have younger siblings put them in charge of that small shop first, it's obvious you have managerial skills since your short time presence in the school attracted more students, u de complain of unemployment but you dunno you have a cash cow waiting to be milked.

Putting a sales person in an infant business is going to affect profit

Skywolf:
why not both,

you can pursue your dream and run the school, just get yourself an experienced secondary school teacher as principal and he will run the school for you while you become the school proprietor

CeeJay9ja:
Hello,

Please I need your advice on how to make a decision that will not hurt me in the future. I am a graduate but due to the situation of the country, it was difficult for me to get a standard job so I resigned where I was managing and decided to learn trading.

During the period of "No job frustration" I was assisting my mother in her school and teaching Basic 5 & 6. That period, I attracted more students to her school and parents were giving me good Commendation.

After a year, I went out to learn trading and when I came back, I decided to start something no matter how small.
I have started sale of Electrical parts, though I have not gotten much customers.

Just last night, my mum called me and said she would want me to take over her school business, that she is getting too old to continue. She said she will not be happy if I abandon the school and let it die like that. On my own part, I want to grow my business and I need more concentration on it. Now, I have a divided plan.

I don't want to abandon my business plans and at the same time, I dont want her stuggle to just die like that...

I need your advice, please.

Do you have any experience working in a school?
Yes sir..

CeeJay9ja:

My brother, both are important

adisabarber:


Stay in your mum's school and keep doing your own thing part time. You will not regret it. I don't know you, you don't know me but just trust me. If after 2 sessions you are not satisfied, you can leave and pursue your dream full time.

When you know wealth is a generational effort just like the Jews you will know there is nothing stopping you from continuing your mums school and also doing your own business ..Never allow her effort go to waste man
