Because statistically 1 out of 10 businesses fail in the first 5 years while an employee is guaranteed income a business owner isn't, also there's a possibility you'd start calling those "people" to ask them for loan and grants if/when the business starts shaking
It's 9 out of 10

The beautiful thing about Copywriting is that;
Apart from the $20 minimum pay you receive per job, you can also use the skill to establish your personal business.

you still have the opportunity to learn it now from me.

Lol, i see people in the comments section saying you need money to start business.

If you have a phone and internet, you can leverage...

Here's how > >


salary every month.

You don’t need to be a genius to make money online, and have a better life.

Look for a business that is offline, bring it online and get them SALES.

You will make a lot of money.
Not just money...

You will build your confidence.
Your influence will grow, and...
You’ll attract more opportunities to yourself.
You need to start operating smartly.

Look for a business that is offline, bring it online and get them SALES.
Thank me later when you hit your first M.


I'm giving out some links to free online tech courses , do reach out.

My number in my posts.

thanks for this... I have all the required capital, I have started buying the equipment i need to start my business but am so so scared.
someone told me to start early and fail early so as to quickly correct things but am still so scared.

Please at what age did you start your business and how was your failure or challenges like? if there is any.

Make sure you completely pay for all the equipment you need for the business and that you have at least 24 months equivalent of your monthly salary in savings before you leave your job to start the business.

If you can find a similar business in which to do a part-time apprenticeship do so so you can have some first hand experience of some of the challenges you will face when you eventually start your own

Business ain't easy as it seems.

But if you study it well, good training and skills, there is 60% chance you will succeed.

But with full honesty, I worked for 3 years after graduation before I started my own business and I can tell u with full confidence to start a business at early age.

Presently, I am in my house watching arise tv while my staffs are working, the joy is topnotch unlike back then when I had to leave home as early as 5:30pm on a 120k job monthly with fear of not getting sacked.

You need a job to finance a business, but if you have the capital already, please start a business and quickly learn the failures and benefits of business asap.


I forgot, I was later sacked sha cuz they reduced our salary to 70k but thank my brain that I have saved enough already.

Baba how far make we relate, I also need to do business meen.

I'll need some tips...

Re: Find A Job Or Start A Business, Which Is Better? by Simpubozz(m): 8:55am On Mar 30, 2023
Nothing beats self-independence, and your own business will give you that. Having to know that is all about you and growing your business is a great flex. But then one needs enough capital o start something meaningful. in this Nigeria, how many young employees earning 400k? How much and how long can u save up to have enough capital? Young employees this days are just living from hands to mouth… omò Make God no shame person sha sad
Re: Find A Job Or Start A Business, Which Is Better? by omojeesu(m): 9:35am On Mar 30, 2023
Offline business is difficult to start because of capital.

Start low entry, low risk & legit online businesses instead.

Why? Is there a reason you made the decision to abandon 8000 dollars salary for a business that doesn't fetch you much?

livingstone2013:

My naija job might not be fetching much right now due to naira crunch. However, I've made ₦900k in just one day before and just because of this reason alone, I believe that the prospect is magnificently favorable (over $8000/months) to me.


Remember, it is never how much you can earn but it's actually how much you can save. There are differences between the two.



Good luck.

Not really bros. There is what we call TMT(time money time arbitrage). It's a concept that when you don't have money to start a business, first use your time to make money(either by doing a manual job) and then use the money to buy other people (real time business) time. It's a game im currently playing which has transformed me from a husband earning 65,000 naira per month to a multimillionaire. My November, 2022 monthly income was 3,400,000.

Ok. I will be very plain to you. When i graduated from FUTO as an Electrical Engineer, i had no job. I ended up working as a teacher in rivers state government where i was started with 65k. I got married. The money was not enough for me to run my family and masters at the same time. I was living in poverty. I realized that money making is not taught in school. I decided to learn how to make money on YouTube and google. That was one of the best decisions of my life. I realized i had a smart phone and a laptop. So while i was teaching in a secondary secondary in one rural community in rivers, i learnt Rivers state government wanted to enroll all students online. I moved from school to school to negotiate with heads for me to enroll their wards online. Most accepted and i made millions from that. This is the "T" part in my TMT concept. Having made and saved the amount i made, i looked around and found out that my fellow teachers are always broke before they receive the next salary. I started a business in that line. I give them short term loans and the company has now grown to 3 branches with graduates earning more than what rivers state pays me. i am currently typing this from my bedroom while people are actively working for me(The last "T" in TMT concept).
I used my time, T to hustle which gives me money, M to by other people time T (TMT). By the time you learn personal finance, you will see that most billionaires and millionaires used this framework.
And now, my goal is to increase 3.4M per month to 10M per month in less than 2 years.

Some business need capital.
Is it possible to set up a cyber café businesss without capital?

Good! Here it is. If you have money to start the cafe, fine. But if you don't have no problem. Here is how.
God has blessed each and everyone of us equally with time, T. Use the time to hustle out the first money, M. Get dirty. Do menial jobs to get your seed capital. Then use the money to set up ur cyber cafe. As it grows, bring in people who will replace you to get freedom. That is buying other people time, T. This is a concept called Time Money Time arbitrage.(TMT). It simply states if you don't have money to start a business, hustle yourself out(that is using your time, T) to get the first money(M), then use the money to buy others time, T.
This framework has made a lot of people rich including me.
