I am praying I make success of it along the line.
sane here bro ,getting 20K monthly from business initially is better than receiving 40K as salary.

It may surprise you but my starting capital was 25,000 which I used to make 4 pairs of shoes. Though what helped me was that my brother left the trade after he was done with his university degree so I just picked up some of his tools...
great.

Thanks for taking our fears away about the alien language grin grin

Programming is not difficult but it takes time.
Learn me explain an anology
If you go to france today, you would want to learn a new Language to communicate with the community

Same thing happens to a computer, the computer is just a machine and for you to instruct it you have to learn the language. Javascript and python are beginner friendly language because it looks like english.

If you give yourself 3 months, 8 hours constant practice you will get a job, if you don't find I will show you.

Programming is not money expensive, its time expensive. I dind't pay a dime to anybody, just data on internet.

You can start with your phone, download SoloLearn and practice Javascript.
You are free to choose whatever language you want but why I mentioned Javascriopt is because that is my speciality.
You can even build projects with your phone, when you get a laptop then it becomes easy
Can you give me specs of laptop I may need for such a journey? Will buy one soon. Want to get one that pays. Kindly give the least entry.

Please, don't resign from that job yet. Start the business first and operate it side by side with your job for at least 2 years. If profitable, you can decide to resign.

I'm a medical Laboratory Scientist, I studied in one of the best private schools in Nigeria, after graduation, it took me 2 years before I could do my internship as it was a guarantee before NYSC, it was in my 2 years of Idleness that I came across these books, "Change your way Change your thinking", "goals"by Brian Tracy, Rich Dad poor Dad, by Robert Kiyoserki.
This books Changed my life, I got cool business Ideas from these books but was not certain on the path to follow until my service year in 2018.
I was fortunate to belong to AGRO-ALLIED SAED group.
A thought came to me that my family are Agrarians with vast virgin land most of which are swampy soil. Infact with the money I saved in my internship year and the knowledge I got from NYSC-SAED, I ventured into Rice farming, storage and processing as well as poultry farming, I got a financial breakthrough because of President Muhammad
Buhari's policy on Agriculture.
Starting a business venture is not without it's challenges but what is important is the zeal to never give up, dedication, persistency and goodwill.
I hardly have time to apply for white collar job, but I told myself that if I must work for someone, it must be the federal government in a federal hospital. Until then, farming all the way..... cheesy

well let me answer this.

Had a relation who was so much into sports betting, lost so much, he was a *siful safant*...

as soon as his salary drops, uncle has a sure game already...

before you know, few days after salary, he quarreling with his family and every one, due to frustration, he was almost always bitter.

Along the line he met a guy in a viewing center around GRA ph. they got talking and got acquainted and that was it.

Guy was a full time into sports and making good off it.

Carried uncle siful safant along and with time, there was changes.

soon Uncle wasn't bitter anymore and everyone was happy with his new self.

I met him in 2015 to show me the way, and he kept me hanging till 2016.

2016 January I almost killed him with disturbance because it wasn't easy for me then.

uncle told me what's up, ask for a 100k capital which I provided and that was it.

along 2017, a strategy was discovered, which we imputed into the system and today we are making more.


so 3 years down the line by Devine grace I'm now contented.

so it hasn't been easy but there's certainly no regrets today.

PS.

Im not promoting this because it can be huge loss when you don't know what you doing.

this has now been a full time business to me and our small circle.
Kindly check your mail. I sent you a pm

I need advice on how to manage my workers.

They steal, they lie, they waste resources. They try to manipulate the records, they take advantage of my tiredness after I close from my place of work.

I never knew my staff were going to be my greatest challenge. It's so frustrating.

I really need help from the more experienced business men.

. Hmmmm, resigning your job at this time? See I am in the same shoes with you, mine us 7:6am, I am grounded in a lot of business line, which i wont want to mention. I do these line of business along side my paid job. I had made a move severally to resign, but each time I try, I hear something tell me to give my self a target, and the target I gave my self was that I must be in my own house before I think of resigning, as luck may have it, I moved to my this year. I have almost 60% of all equipments I need to start my real business I want to start. But doing business this year been so bad. Ask those who have been in business for years they will tell you. Well you, I am not discouraging you from executing your decision but I will want to ask you this question. Before you talk of resigning have you already started the business you want to leave your job for, if YES, nothing do you.

. Hmmmm, resigning your job at this time? See I am in the same shoes with you, mine is 7:6. Funny to say that I have done a lot of businesses even before I got my job, even as I got my job, I still do other side hustle if I say that I am grounded in a lot of business line, I am not making a mistake, . I do these line of business along side my paid job, I do them that most of my colleagues in my office bring customers to me and they also consult me, I had made a move severally to resign my job, but each time I try, I hear something telling me to still give my self a target before resigning, and the target I gave my self was that I must be in my own apartment before I think of resigning, as luck may have it, I moved to my own house this year. I have almost 60% of all equipments I need to start the original business I want to start. But doing business this year been so bad, business environment especially in Nigeria today is not friendly, ask those who have been in business for years they will tell you. Well I am not discouraging you from executing your decision but I will want to ask you this question. Before you talk of resigning have you already started the business you want to resign your job for, if YES, nothing do you. I pray that may God help you.
