You need to be mentored on how to look for opportunities in rendering a service or providing goods or both. Then you select which is your passion or which area you are interested in. Set out your goals and get to know what it will take in terms of finance, time and skills/knowledge to reach where you want to be. Then set to work. You need to be mentored and you need to focus. What are you planning to do now? What do you do with your time? What about in NYSC? What do you plan to do with your time during service?

Thank you very much, with regards to NYSC I was posted to serve in a private secondary school. Also although my coding or programming knowledge is zero presently, I'm planning to either learn software and web development, oracle or learn video editing and the likes

I believe I need to be mentored, because I'm still relatively young but I have no direction in life presently.. My greatest fear is wasting away my youth phase.

I can put you through. I trade forex, affiliate and digital marketing, drop shipping and mini importation and a few others. All these businesses have a high learning curve or either take a long time to start yielding incomes. They require that you have another source of income while you learn. If youre still interested after knowing that it's not a get rich quick scheme, indicate below and we can get started.

Sir, i have gone through the file you sent and i will probably end up in the General section or Major section. I have a problem concerning the company being registered. My dad's company is a venture that deals on Timber, can it still apply in the General or Major sections?

My personal opinion is it applies to the General Category. However, note that DPR may decide that it is Major. At times they use their discretion.

Before you register please try and ensure that your target market of choice (oil companies or wherever) need timber of various types for various purposes. I KNOW THEY DO, ESPECIALLY IN DRILLING FIELDS etc. Long story short, ensure you have a market. Entrepreneurship is THE CREATIVE PROCESS OF IDENTIFYING MARKET OPPORTUNITIES AND UNMET NEEDS, AND THEN BUILDING SOLUTIONS THAT MEET THESE NEEDS AND BRING VALUE TO CUSTOMERS.

In entrepreneurship or ANY BUSINESS IN THIS WORLD, You must Create Time Value and/or Form Value and/or Place Value.

So, I'm tending towards 20 soon and following this thread.

With #74.96 in account.
Almost done with school but with the way it's going, It seems only school cannot do it. I've been greatly inspired by everything I've read here and taken the first step to contact a fellow student like me who might want to startup something with me.

However, Please I need mentorship from people here please.
Major is in computer science.

In America I'll recommend you run your own business. Working for someone else is slavery.


Celebrity tax rate is like 40 to 60% plus agent fees etc

If you work for others your tax and social security deductions is nearly 30%

Business owner 15% with ability to write off your cars, houses, food etc as business expenses

Stock market 10%

Very true.

I am not US Based though.I live and work in Nigeria. Visited briefly.

The flexibility with something as simple as doordash was amazing. Funny thing is we met professors and other gainfully employed people who do it in the evening just to kill boredom and make some extra buck while at it. Quite humbling and revealing.

I have always wanted to learn programming. Started with python but implementation was a hard nut to crack

You learn programming first. Then you can learn any language. If you live in Benin I can teach you.

People make money delivering Pizza here.

Nothing like shame for hard work here

Any legal work to feed your family is cool

The mentality a lot of Nigerians lack here.

And I hope it changes.

I however noticed that a lot of them in the USA also lack financial intelligence and are in debt with credit cards etc.

Nice thread...

Last year 2017, I made close to a million on Fiverr (writing niche) until everything chickened out (project and final year stress made me stop). After graduation, my account couldn't stand on it feet anymore.
(After months of trying to revive d account, I figure out you need a professional skill to survive on d platform and writing alone won't do)
Now, I am broke AF. Back to d drawing board and trying to learn a new skill. But it's being very challenging due to NYSC service.

BTW, i'll be greatful if anyone here can mentor/guide me on any professional skills as a freelance
same here, i was and am still a self taught computer engineer with practical knowledge of networking, never had a million and the highest i have had in my account at once was 350k half of which was clients payments with profits untouched.
Sponsored my way through school, and at the beginning of the recession, my market dried up totally, went weeks without jobs finally decided to be an intern at a financial institution but i regret every moment of it, i wasnt born for Bank jobs, i wont mind been, infact i am actually pleading with anybody to tutor me on any new skill profitable especially as regards crypto or anything.
I am trying my hand at bitcoin mining but sincerely am already losing hope cos of the time frame and the fact that ascii miners are avaliable for the big boys

I laugh sometimes and I feel like crying sometimes when I see the get rich mentality of young Nigerians. They can actually make their first million simply by farming. Mix legumes with cereals if you don't have enough money for fertilizer, cos that's the most expensive thing. We have land you can rent in abundance.

Or buy grains shortly after Harvest and drying to store until they pick in price in 3 to 6 months.

Money can be made from consistent patterns and cycles. Farming/Raining season is the natural cycle set by God.

It's like an online store host for drop shipping etc. You sign on to create your store on their platform.
