CeeJay9ja:You can incorporate the school into your dream. There are thousands of family businesses in the US that have been in existence over a hundred years. Yet, they are still family owned, passed down from generation to generation. Do you want to tell me those people didn’t have there own dream when they decided to keep their great great grand father legacy afloat. Such businesses are big corporations today. A typical example is Walmart. Though has gone public by public sale of shares, but it’s still largely controlled by the family that founded it. There are private schools like that in the UK family owned from generation to generation. |

Talk2Bella: the secondary i finished from, all her children manages her school, two had to resign from an oil company in delta to come back to lagos and manage the school, my Mum is a teacher but has a poultry too, my brother manages the poultry and has a small job he's managing, do you understand what i am trying to tell you? if you have younger siblings put them in charge of that small shop first, it's obvious you have managerial skills since your short time presence in the school attracted more students, u de complain of unemployment but you dunno you have a cash cow waiting to be milked.You see na |

CeeJay9ja:School is also a business. U can grow and expand it. Besides managing a school doesn't require u to be there 24/7. This shud give u time to venture into other things. But for now I advice u keep the school afloat. Who knows u just might get to where u want from it. Remember "na bird wey dey ur hand nai b ur own". Don't dull. |

The school is what you should go and thrown you energy in. After 1year come and tell me your experience and conviction. CeeJay9ja: |

CeeJay9ja:OP, It's a little more complicated than you may think or what many here advise. Just because your mum wants you to run the school doesn't mean the others (your siblings) would look the other way, if and when you turn things around and school becomes a money spinner. Even if they do, what makes you think their children will? The idea of generational businesses hasn't really worked well in this part of the world for obvious reasons (except for a few examples). Be smart! Your business is your own entirely, so build it conscientiously till you make it a success. In the meantime, get a liked-minded educated young man you can trust to handle affairs at your mum's school (you don't have the monopoly of knowledge/ability) while you act as director, coming in unannounced daily to see how things are going. Your mum may protest but let her see reason. In the future, when you have made a success of your business, you can pump money into the school and make it much bigger and more profitable but not before, you convene a family meeting to create a board and legal documents drawn up by your attorney. Cheers! |

Jack of all trade master of none.You graduated from the university,no job then you have a brief stinct with your mother in her school during which God reveals your talents to your mother through your hardwork and managerial ingenuity,but because of the speck in your eyes coupled with big eyes for greener pastures,you didn't see the opportunity to continue work with your mum. You ran out to learn a trade out of frustration(not a dream). Mr man,jettison your electronics biz and embrace the school biz because it has more future potential that will give you fulfilment in future. |

Answer the following question b4 I can advise you. 1. What is the financial status of the school in terms of assets, cash in the bank, liabilities and student population. 2. Is the school located in a viable area? i.e. an area where the growth can be exponential 3. How old is the school? can you say it's a well established school? 4. what's the current ownership structure of the school? 5. What's your educational background? |
