Seed of Entrepreneurship

Fashola Olakunle Oladimeji
Yearly there many business startups, many fail while few succeed. Why? The route to starting ones business vary and different people follow diverse path to getting into business. From observation many fail in business because of lack of preparation. Many are fresh graduates from college, some even quit their full time job to start their own business other are only invited by friends or partner to start up something. No matter the direction one get into business, the key word is "preparation". How ready are you? Do you have enough money to start up something? What about your family upkeep? The path to owning your own business can be lonely and rough initially therefore you need a lot of fortitude to hold on when the tides are down.

Among successful business owners one reason that is a binding factor for all them to start up something of theirs is not urgency but a necessity. Never a lot the urgency of wanting to be free or be your own boss push out only to discover that you are leaving one paid job for another, only that you do all the weight lifting yourself.

Check if you are ready, ready. You know what I mean; your willingness to stake everything for your startup is a sign that you are ready. If any atom of reservation is still lurking somewhere within don´t even attempt to take a plunge.

May be you have long waited for a promotion that is not forth coming or you were fired from your job is not enough reason for you to start your own business. Although series of frustration could prompt you, the basic desire to control your own destiny is top among the reason why people start their business. This becomes an impetus that can make an entrepreneur stake all he has, to start something, friends, family or pleasure alike.


The entrepreneurial nag is within something of us; you just know beyond words that you will do well being on your own. Passion is another strong indication that you may be cut out for your business, how do you feel when you see others doing what you love doing? May you "oh no! It can be better" just this may be your moment of reality check. Your may be having a calling in that area.

Don´t doubt your guts and hunch, at times they are the source of direction, if you feel strong about a particular business, the good you can yourself is to research it. You don´t have to let such feeling die within you. Even if you will not embark on it you would gotten enough information to empower you. Most of the 75% of those who follow there are always right. There is hard and fast rule of what direction you can come into business; the only rule is know yourself and the right timing.

But there must be a burning passion for such business, a thorough market research and due preparation before you come into business. This simply means you understand the business, your passion will sustain in the budding period, when you will not have enough cash returns and your family is well provided during these periods
