Times without numbers you hear people say why not just start something even if its small and nurture it to become an empire over time.

Honestly, it really good when you become your own boss but truth is, there are some enormous challenges every start-up encounters that you are probably not aware of.

These challenges if not properly tackled may most times bring your business to an abrupt end within the shortest possible time. The bitter truth is that running a business is not that easy as we are made to believe.. Its require skills, dedication and perseverance to it succeed.

You may encounter financial problem inform of trying to pay for rent and registrations. The local government will storm your business premises for revenue, you will pay levy for your banner and sign post, security bill, nepa bill and some others too numerous to mention.

Please am not trying to discourage anybody here from venturing into their business but am just trying to make you aware that the entrepreneurial story is not always rosy.There are challenges and need to be determine and patience to grow.

Kudos to the young entrepreneurs in the house.

it's not easy. friends are gone, my fiancée is gone. I'm broke half the time but I won't give up.

Nice one. The reality is that for most entrepreneurs the journey is not easy especially when you do not have steady funding. It takes money to run a business, the people who find it easy are those who have multiple sources of income.

you are right

I have been doing a whole lot of thinking lately and most of it centers on whether I continue working and putting someone else as a manager while I'm away or resigning completely to manage it.. I have big dreams and I know it's not easy but I am already tilting towards resigning and managing the business myself. It won't be easy Sha but it's possible. What are your thoughts?

I did that about 6months ago and while it has been mightily rewarding, it has not been without challenges that require the best of you. My advise would be to guarantee the financing for the business, guarantee your 6months expenditure (without relying on the income from the business), pray hard... then throw everything you have got at the business.

That's the indomitable entrepreneurial spirit!!!

Whatever it is, Keep at it, Hit at it, Go around it, Jump over it, Walk through it... whichever you do, DON'T GIVE UP!!!
