What Was Your Most Powerful Motivator In The Early Stages Of Your Business? by Cajetan4u: 3:00am On Jul 23, 2022
Several factors were my primary motivators in the early stages of my business. The first is to make certain that I am doing something I am enthusiastic about. When things get tough, this helps me stay motivated.

The second goal is to keep learning and growing as a business owner. This assists me in staying ahead of the competition and growing my business. Finally, seeing my company grow and succeed motivates me.

Poverty: I have experienced being broke and promised myself I'm not going down that road again.

Joblessness; I was jobless for 5 years and believe me, it wasn't a nice experience. The fear of quitting my business and going back to job hunting was scary.

Then finally, I told myself, this is my first offspring and I will never ever let it die.

The bonus was when a lady and her husband walked into my shop the very few months I started my business, due to small issue I had with her husband, she abused me saying my mates are managers in companies and I'm busy doing petty business, she swore my business will not last more than 6 months. I was scared the first year cause I truly had lots of challenges and was at the verge of quitting, but each time I remembered what the woman said, I doubled my efforts grin grin it's 5 years now and waxing strong. The woman is now jobless and her husband looking for a car to do Uber/taxify.

From Top to Bottum motivated me to ensure Bishop agbado doesn't become nigerias undertaker that will finally sink it to the underworld.

What am saying now is that my job is to campaign and deliver Peter Obi in 2023.

One step at a time

Hope: it's hope that is actually keeping a lot of people alive. The possibility that it will surely be better one day.

Failures: having failed in lots of endeavours and seeing myself still laughing and smiling and making it one day at a time, I realised that failure is never the worst that can happen.

Motivation from inborn desire to be a solution to a problem made me to venture on Consumables for chefs and baking outfits including bakeries....I started with sales of improvers....

In another news if you have a browsing gadget and access to internet as a student in this ASUU strike period and you are not earning even @least $5 daily via online with those viable assets then you are most unwise.
There are thousands of earning means available on the online space which has a community of over 1billion active users that are real and active and need one service or product or the other ......imagine having just a chunck of 100 of them converted to your clients or customers and you deliver with a pegged profit of $2 even if it's monthly that's $200 cash outs on a monthly and the good news is that you can grow your clientele/ customers exponentially.

So if you are interested reach out to the Facebook ID on my profile....NO PMs please because I no longer attend to it.

My only motivation is profits,
Me and passion no get any business.
Just building up liquidity for something great that one might stumble on along the way that can generate even bigger profits.
What I'm truly passionate about is to retire in my 40s and be able to live very well after that.
Work no be food abeg.

The experience of growing a company from scratch is fun especially when you don't depend on the company for your livelihood.

And knowing that several people's income depends on the survival and growth of the company is another thing that keeps one motivated.

1. Man has got to do what man has got to do to have a cash flow. Cash flow is very vital.

2. The idea of having a very good source for my gadgets (importation business) through the likes of mikkyangel who was once suffering in Nigeria before he made it out to the USA and still stayed legit over the years exporting gadgets from America to here has kept me mentally awake. I believe I can do whatsoever he did to be successful.

3. I believe the gadget world is not yet saturated. More spaces are there to be filled. More problems are there to get solved in the IT world.

4. I love what I'm doing.

5. I have always strived to be the one to break the expensive market of gadgets. Thereby giving back to the people by selling at the cheapest rate anyone can imagine. The profit shouldn't always be more. Being of help to people matters most to me.

Financial freedom and freedom in general, I did not like how the employers tried to control the lives of their employees where I worked.

Being a comrade, I do have issues with them over those inhumane acts, I stopped those I could stop while I was there.
At the heat of covid19, I decided to quit working for others and I started mine own business.
