Another Series of the #InvestWiselyInvestEarly Cause of the 2015 Edition of the All Youths Tush Awards.
10 EXCUSES PEOPLE GIVE FOR NOT BECOMING ENTREPRENEURS
1. I dont have Money
Ask successful businessmen around you how much they spent to start the business you pray to work or be associated with, and you will realise starting a successful business is not all about having money.
2. I cant quit my job because I have a family to cater for
What if the job quits you?
What if you are sacked or laid off next week?
What if the company declares bankruptcy in few months?
3. I dont have any contact/connections
You already have all you need and will meet whatever else you need on the way when you move.
4. I am not start enough.
Are you alive? Can you see? Can you hear? Can you smell? Can you talk? Can you walk? Can you write? Can you read? If you can do one or all of these, then you re SMART. Never think low of yourself when there are some others that pray to live the life you re presently living.
5. I dont have time, I am too busy
Busy doing what exactly?
Collecting salaries? Pursuing pension? Growing old yet poor? Chasing shawdows? Climbing the corporate ladder? Busy using the most active part of your life for what?
6. I cant find anyone who wants to help me.
Why do you think you need help from people to start out on your own? The truth?-Nobody will support you at nothing. You must have something of value that will attract their support.
7. It takes too long to build a business
Which is better? To spend thirty or twenty-five years in the labour market and end up with a meager pension or spend 10 years building your business and be financially free for life? Make a choice.
8. Building a business is too risky for me
Dont forget life is a risk itself.
Going to bed at night is a risk because you may never wake up.
Going out is a risk because accident can happen.
Going to work is a risk because you may be sacked.
9. I dont like dealing with employees
Which is better. Dealing with employees or dealing with colleagues or your employer who is your boss?
10. I am too old.
Really? At what age? KFC is a global brand today. Do a research and find out wat what age the owner (Colonel Sanders) started the brand. He was over 70 years old when he started.
