The truth is, entrepreneurship is not for everyone. I wish it was, though. There's nothing more fulfilling than being in charge of your own income and controlling how much you earn.

Different strokes for different folks. Someone once told me all she wanted was to get a job. In the end, everyone should be an entrepreneur of sorts. Having a job doesn't prevent anyone for creating multiple streams of income.

well said bro. while some are born to lead, others are born to be lead. entrepreneur is definitely not for everyone.

OP thanks for sharing..welldone!

you are welcome. i wish you success

your entrepreneurship related questions are highly welcomed

There are people who are happy with being a worker till they retire, and there are some who likes to be their own chairperson and starts up a business. Though, it does not mean that one person trumps the other, there are lots of personality differences between the 2. Really, there are personality tests available online that one can take to identify their personality characteristics and learn whether or not you have what it takes to be an entrepreneur.

Though lots of entrepreneurs differ in their style and perspective, there are some common traits that make one a successful businessman.

1. Hard working

this is a characteristic that every entrepreneur should have. Having non-stop energy to do a large amount of work and multitasking while a pile tasks here and there should be done to achieve your goals. If it suggests, work double time? Then, do work double time!

2. Positive attitude

it isn't assured that when you are into a business you'll always be good and no Problems will come, there will be issues and complications and these things are the ones that are going to shape you up to be a successful entrepreneur. Being pessimistic? There's no room for that! You want to know the way to deal with even the darkest times of your life for it would occur again.

3. Sense of commitment

Whatever you do, you should be committed to doing the absolute best you can and achieve what is predicted of you and for the business. It is tantamount to sense of professionalism, which is quite significant when you go to the outside world.

4. Goal-oriented

what good a business is, if there are no goals to live from? It is as if going out in battle without knowing what to do next. Setting up goals for your business is crucial since all of the activities revolved around the goals.

5. Passionate about reaching such goals

what good goals are if not achieved? Be sure that when you set targets, it's realistic and doable. You need be obsessed about what you do and have a thrust to keep you pushing forward to reach your goals.

6. Perseverance

Business includes lots of challenges. It's very likely that you're going to fail first time, even 2nd time, and sometimes even third time. Perseverance is the key to success here. Successful entrepreneurs try to benefit from their mistakes and never give up. Learn from PMB's struggle to be the president of Nigeria. lol

To be an entrepreneur you also must have a business idea, a clear appreciation of a difficulty you are trying to solve and some system in mind how you'll take it to the market. Just having above discussed traits doesn't guarantee that you are going to be a successful entrepreneur but certainly sets you aside from others, help you face difficult challenges, and save you from falling down on your face.

Is entrepreneurship for you? I don't know. You've got to answer that for yourself. Ask yourself whether you some who likes to follow or who likes to guide, whether you like to do things your way or you mostly need guidance, whether you want to be managed or you are self-motivated. There are many such self-evaluations you can do yourself. But definitely, if you're a sort of person who likes new challenges each day, can fly in thin air, and lead without any direction; then you've a greater chance of succeeding as an entrepreneur. If you've got a business idea lurking deep within you, it's high time to try it out because that's the first thing an entrepreneur would say -'let's try out!

Why are you always monitoring all newly opened threads and never make a comment?

can it be because of your moniker ? the truth is that i am carrying out a research so do not mind me

Nice piece

i dey dobale for you . thanks

your business related questions are highly welcome.

your importation related questions are highly welcome

At some point in your life, you may have considered starting up your own business. If this is the way you have been thinking, then you are definitely onto something. But first, you have to know where to start, right? And to do that, you must know where to look. Outlined below is a list of the 10 best resources for finding good business ideas:

1. Online Job Forums - Many of the work-at-home-mom forum websites give out hundreds of good business ideas. They give information and provide ideas on everything from medical coding to selling cleaning supplies. Most of them also provide links to various websites that provide even more information about the topic you are interested in. Nairaland business section is an important place to go to for business ideas.

2. Classifieds - Never underestimate the power of classified ads. Chances are that if you look hard enough, you'll find a great opportunity. Just be on the lookout for scams and you should do just fine. Online classifieds are also good resources. try to see the kind of things people are selling on the site and develop your ideas from their.

3. Friends and Family - If you have any friends or family who currently work out of their house, they could help you out with some ideas, especially if they are already very familiar with various work from home opportunities.

4. Billboards - Believe it or not, some billboards can actually provide a good bit of information about certain work at home opportunities. Try glancing at them every once in a while, you never know, you might find what you are looking for.

5. Job Fairs - What you may not realize is that job fairs not only focus on hiring employees, but they also provide good business ideas and prospects for entrepreneurs. The next time that there is a job fair where you live, take the opportunity to stop and check it out! You may end up very surprised!

6. Your Own Ideas - Is there something that you have been considering trying, but just haven't put it into action? Some of the most successful business people have thought up their own original ideas and have made a full-time living off of them.

7. The News - Yes, even your local news station talks of good business ideas every so often. I recently discovered a couple of new ways to make money myself, all by watching the news. Remember that television is not only entertaining, but also very informative.

8. Magazines - Have you ever noticed those little ads in fashion and health magazines that tout the perfect business opportunity? Well, I am here to let you know that some of those business opportunities are really for real. Don't just look over them, look into them.

9. Your Local Unemployment Office - Even though you may not be interested in working for someone else, the point is that you are looking for good business ideas, and what better place to find them than in a place that is all about work? around wuse2 in abuja i know 2 of such very popular notice boards where different jobs are placed. if you go in search of business ideas you will get a handful in no time

10. Look at What You Currently Do - If you are currently a business owner, think in terms of branching out. For example, if all you currently do is sell candles, think about what else you can sell that is similar to that so you can become even more successful.

So you see, good business ideas are literally everywhere. Obviously, the best ideas begin with you. Just keep in mind that you must maintain a positive attitude, and you will in no doubt, go very far and excel above and beyond what you had originally planned.

wink2015:
Nice write up.

thanks bro

richling77:
You nailed it. I mostly advice unemployed graduates to go into this but do you know many of them are even too lazy to do this. You don't necessarily have to get supplier from overseas to venture into this. Look around you, make sure you can see well.


This is the first time I'm able to post on a topic on first page on nairaland. Those that need this info are busy commenting on Tonto Dike's thread. They have read this and over looked it. You can see how dry this page is and that's an evidence of lack of wisdom in Nigeria. Or don't we have unemployed on nairaland anymore?

them dey in plenty folds. they are not employed and never serious about employing themselves.

please stop posting unverified information. i just used my card from stanbic, uba and gtbank and they are all working fine. i have also confirmed from customer care of respective banks and they confirmed that it is a rumor.

God Forbid Bad thing

My brother how can drop shipping work in furniture market. I'm planning on venturing into it.

drop-shipping can work in almost all markets including furniture. locate a manufacturer in china or so that accepts drop-shipping. agree on drop-shipping terms with him, get his list of inventory, showcase the products and market them. lastly await the cash and also do not forget to provide a very good customer support

your drop-shipping related questions are highly welcome

During the past years, Drop-shipping has emerged as one of the most profitable businesses. It is defined as a technique in supply chain management in which the retailer or any other person, does not keep products and goods in his shop as the stock. Instead, the drop-shipper keeps sample products or list of catalogues of products in which he is dealing in.

When customer orders product from a drop-shipper, he transfers customer's order to wholesaler, distributor or manufacturer, who delivers the product to customer direct from their inventory. Some time earlier, Drop-shippers were mainly retailers but now-a-days many other people have also started Drop-shipping business.

It is very easy business as anyone can do it as long as he has good understanding of supply chain management and general know-how of market trends. Drop-shipping is a home based business and can be operated from any part of the world; the drop-shipper only needs a computer, internet and an operating website either personal or an eCommerce site to showcase his products. Drop-shipping is now considered one of the most profit generating home based businesses which can reap high profits easily without any investment.

Three kinds of Drop-shipping are widely known. Blind Shipping”, in which no return mailing address is sent to customer, so that customer cannot contact wholesaler. The second type is Private Label Shipping”, in which product is delivered through wholesaler but return address of drop-shipper is also sent. The last type is Customized Packing Slip” in which drop-shipper s name, company logo and contact information is sent as a return address.

This business has no start-up costs; means that the dropshipper has to pay nothing from his pocket. Loss prevention is another big benefit of this business as the risk of loss is negligible and there is no need to spend costs on preventing it. Chances of broken, damaged or loss inventory are totally zero because dropshipper has no inventory in hand.

There are also no chances of frauds or delayed payments as whenever the customer orders the product, first the money is transferred in to drop shipper s account then he forwards the order and money to his wholesale suppliers.

i have seen instances where drop-shippers makes not less than $80 for every transaction. i will give you a typical examples. the first time i came across a product called "stop snoring" is from a drop-shipper. the product is aimed at stopping people from snoring when they are asleep. the drop-shipper created a personal site, added some scientific illustrations of how the product functions and how the product can stop you from snoring, how your loved ones can be more pleased with you when both of you are asleep since you no longer disturb them with your frog-like snoring etc. he was selling the product for 99usd. after making a little research about how people in my area in abuja will love the product, the demand was much and i later found out that the cost of buying the product from manufacturers was only $0.50-$3. lol, you see with little packaging and advert the above example shows you how a drop-shipper was making not less than 80usd/transaction. their are hundreds of such related products that can make mega bucks.

The only thing to consider while doing Dropshipping business is to remain up to date with your wholesale supplier and his inventory.
