I started my spiritual center my Bible and a bell and today, we've successfully built a magnificent building. I see myself buying private jets and bullet proof cars very soon.

This I have seen.

Prospecting what?

Finding customers, preparing and submitting proposals,travelling by road and flying to remote states. Efforts started paying off after 6 months and the rest became history

Bakrabas:
How much was your salary, the amount you save per month and how long you spent as a salary earner before you quit for your own business?

Let's start from you

I saved myself and ideas

Ddworld:


Honestly, just tendered my resignation letter after another frustraded morning and it was closed to month end. I even wrote that I am not interested in the salary and they should use it as a penalty for my immediate resignation.

Did I regret it? Yes for almost 1year nothing was forthcoming but thankfully, I have an understanding wife who became the bread winner for the whole year. I had to embrace all insults and will even smile through it to avoid see finish.

Lastly, we thank the ever faithful God. One thing happened, after like 5years, my boss came to my office for a contract without knowing I am the owner

The journey was rough but we thank God. It is not what I can advise anyone but you know yourself and just go for what suits you.

Best of luck

I so much love d spirit in dis ur comment

Natural2Heal:

Yes. I lost my job and I was forced to do job of 45k monthly just to feed my wife

Monthly salary 435k
Monthly savings 200k
Saved 3.5million
Borrowed 2.5million
Started second source of income.
Happy to have paid back the 2.5 m I borrowed within 4 months

Never done a salary job. I pay myself

I ran for my life. Designing structures worth millions and earning 30k, I had less than 5k in acct when I left cos I was living debt to debt but now that run my firm now and I can afford a range Rover or gwagon. But I still appreciate my old firm coz some files I got from the office system and basic skills I learnt there help sharpen my mind for the task ahead.

Dialpad:
Business is not really for everyone. Let's all understand that fact.

I left a job that paid me over $20k monthly .... relocated to Nigeria...

Was not 100% sure of what to do but I carried my stuff and left .

No single regrets ....

$20k monthly? That’s $240k annually.
Wetin you be? Abi nah cruise you Dey catch?

Have safe my life this year 2022, hope to safe starting from next year

First salary i saved my self, second salary i japa with that month salary. 9ja employers are scam

The greatest decision I made was not to acquire certificates or securing jobs, but quitting my last paid job to pursue entrepreneurship. To God be the glory. I'm no longer answerable to any horrible and fucking boss. What I was paid for a month working from monday to Saturday is less than what I currently earn in a week.

I consider those white-collar job years as wasted years...

Saving in this kind of economy is not easy. Especially those minimum wage

Just comot all die na die. How much you save when you dey there before wasting your time?

I saved approximately N1,000,000 before quitting my job.

I got employed immediately after my Nysc on the 4th of January 2018 (i saved 200k during NYSC) . My salary was 47,500

Transport to work daily was a total of N200 because I used to trek some distance. Feeding used to take up N800 for the day and month end I remit N5,000 to my mom and N3,000 for NEPA bill. I used to give my girlfriend N2,000

That was my earning and I didn't have any other source of income at all....

After 6months my pay was increased to N51,500 but luckily I was selected for N-Power teach which I combined with my job.

I was shoveling between my job and the N-power teach. I forgot to say that my job was also a teaching job and God blessed me with an understanding supervisor who understood that I needed another source of income. So the Npower school made a suitable time table for me and also my school supervisor made life easy for me.

When Npower 30k started coming, I just allowed the money to be flowing in without touching it, this happened consistently for 6months.

After about 1yr in my job (not Npower), in 2019 my pay was increased to N59,500 and a month later to N61,500.

With the increase, I still maintained my spending culture even though the economy was tight. I maintained my lifestyle around the first salary of 47,500 (I was saving just 7k then). I remember I didnt buy any new cloth or phone even though they were terribly bad. My beard was making me spend too much I had to remove it and went clean shaved, I even removed my punk

So with N-Power 30k and the salary increment for 1yr and 6months I consistently saved 50k (30k from Npower, 20k from my salary).

There were occasions where I touched the savings to meet a need or solve a problem but the bottom line is that.

After everything I had roughly N1,000,000 saved because I resigned from my job in May 2020 after working with them for 2yrs and Npower stopped paying me in January 2020 when they came for inspection but didn't find me.

Luckily for me, my mum made do with what I could afford to drop in the house, she was making up with her little trade. my girlfriend is an understanding partner and never bothered me for anything even though I was the one disturbing myself to give her (we go still marry sha ), I could have saved more but church wahala and their unending request for seed sowing kept pushing me to my purse until I angrily stopped giving anything to church. Even tithe I stopped paying and stepped down from my position as a leader in church. Infact I comot for workforce.

I resigned officially may 2020 during coronavirus lockdown and went into business with what I saved.

I started with POS, I was making some change sha, my girlfriend was helping me to run it while I also went to Alaba international market to hustle. With the money I was getting from street and money from POS, I bought a car for uber/bolt rentals in 2021 and that became my third source of income and that was when I could afford a place for myself, rented a single room self contain and moved out of mama's house.

Now I own two plots of lands and a second car still for rentals (I still dey jump danfo) but my POS business is down since my girlfriend left for school everyone I employed to manage it for me have been making one terrible mistake or the other. They didn't steal but were careless. Even my brother couldn't run it like she did.

I don't tithe too, but that's one of the goals for next year for the blessings eyes can't see.
