Just wanted to be self made

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.
I like your reasons.

My motivation was never to be Poor!! .. it will surprise you to know that some people enjoy been poor .. They don't / won't explore new things .
They will rather remain stagnant and complain than try new things.


but most motivation are inbuilt.. some people are naturally determined


@bold, very true, such people glorify poverty and are very lazy.

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.

The pains and humiliations l experienced when l was an employee motivated me to start my business and turned the pains l experienced during those times to power and purpose.


I'm also motivated by realizing that all these 7 to 7 resumption and working round the clock without taking into consideration of holidays to cool and refresh the brain na wash n stress. We open for business 9 to 4 and observe most public holidays,go on leave and still get all things done and still make our good profit by working smartly.



Also been able to treat my staff better than how l was treated when l was an employee....and able to yield quickly to the needs of customers.I deal with each customer the way l wanted to be dealth with if l happened to be a customer.This also motivates me.
Good day sir

My family!

Not married yet though, but my parents and siblings are the principal reason why I left home @18, two days immediately after my waec exam and dash out in to what has completely changed and revolutionalize the cause of my life and career.

2011, I set out with all the determination in my heart to conquer and break the jinx of poverty in our family.

I first searved 7 years of protracted and excruciating apprenticeship scheme, and later established my first business, now saw three of my immediate younger siblings through the universities. Employs nine(9) staff.

Set up business for mumsy, went back to University, got Bsc degree in business administration, now bought ticket from one of the leading private universities in Nigeria to pursue my MBA. Emerged 2021 most outstanding CEO of my industry.

Dreams do come true. To those who Believe, keep going for your dreams are valid. I turned 29 July 15th and I'm still planning ahead.

Your story is motivating. cry
