I have always thought abt Agric biz. Please would you mind to put me through?
I have an Hondar car though it’s before year 2000 serie model, an estate land for five years . All these came from when I was driving marwa. I left d biz after I completed my Nysc .now I got sucked to think of anything in paid employment. Getting tired and looking option by the side because of tomorrow.
Bro I must say ur story is inspiring enough. If you could acquire these from driving maruwa then I think the answer is obvious- "paid employment might not get you there". I'll suggest you source for capital and return to entrepreneurship. 1 Like |

First, I did some manual jobs for 8months living with my mother. I saved 90% of the money during the period to buy a laptop and modem. Then I taught myself how to run econometric and data analysis using eviews, spss, sata12 and minitab using youtube (still doing menial jobs by the side). Once I am good with what that, I started contacting people in different schools, online, etc to let them know I can run their analysis (it is a must for all social and management students - Bsc, Msc and PhD) to use in doing their projects (Chapters 3, 4, 5). I told them I would do it for free for them for the first time. Few responded after months of trying my luck. Fortunately, those who responded got straight As from it and then - boom! The referrals skyrocketed. I started handling analysis from a Bsc to a Prof. With more jobs, the more my knowledge grew and the more I made money. I charge between 10k 100k for an analysis that wouldnt take more than 3-5mins to finish. Sometimes, I do this for 5 people in 2 days.
I saved money from there to set up my first company - SolPro (an ICT firm). I quickly registered as a vendor with some big firms in Port Harcourt. Then I started receiving quotes from my clients. My brethren, my story has been growing from there. I was 27years since this started.
I went on to setup an HR social networking platform www.bejite.com (which is currently offline because we are working out something. But has an alexa rank of 14m worldwide. Not bad for a social network that just started few years ago by an amateur).
I also setup a training center for programmers called CodePro. There, programmers will be trained to join us in the long-term.
We are not there yet, but we are not where we used to be. Ahead! Ahead.
Well, I still run analysis for people. But this time, I call the shots big time! am also interested in the pdf doc,I just sent u a mail. |

"If your business idea is good enough it should be able to raise capital for itself"
I started out as a middle man. I simply marketed products from wholesalers directly to the customers. Customers pay me, I deducted my profit, paid the seller and shipped to the buyer.
That way I don't have to bother about capital. I simply use the customers money as capital this is a good one |
