I've been doing this 50k job since january.. At first after my Nysc I told my self I wasn't going to work for nobody..

So I started Catfish farming in a small way...


But along the line I got a contact job 2 months after I completed my Nysc.. The company is talking of making me a permanent staff by january 2017 but I am not loving the job.. All I want to do is go back to Catfish farming because That's where my heart and Love is.

Another mind Is giving me serious caution.. "If you quit, you aint coming back you know?

So the Big question pops up. Can you quit your job, to start your own Business?

I need Honest Views please...

my candid advice for you is not to leave your present employment for catfish business,although it is lucrative but that was then .I was into the business I had to stop it because it was no longer profitable . The market women are the problem, they determine the market price themselves and at the end of the day if care is not taken you won't make your capital. Also you have to watchout for the weight . I invested 100,000 to my fish pond business hoping to see more than that because my fish were big but
had no weight I fed them with coppens and later local feed when those market women came in group to buy however,I only saw 19,000 ,out of this I have to pay the guy working for me .if it was you will you continue ? Nevermind you can use my weakness to develop yours

Most Nigerians will probably advice you to keep your day job while you moonlight on your passion after hours. That advice sounds reasonable but it comes from a place of desperation and greed- it won't work. You can't serve 2 masters and love them equally, you will be found wanting somewhere. Thats how someone would spend 15 years in a banking sector job and expect to "hit the ground running" as a music artiste or as a producer. That's just funny. If you're really passionate about fish farming, you need to give it your all- start learning on the job right away. You will have to focus on your passion and turn it into a business.
Consult professionals widely- seek counsel from friends and family who are lawyers, accountants, business development and marketing consultants on how to grow your business. If you must quit, then be ready to give it your all, otherwise, don't even bother unless you wish to leave it the level of a hobby.
I made this decision about 9 years ago and haven't looked back since. Your greatest asset is your time and as an entrepreneur, you have the prerogative to determine how you invest it.
I wish you all the best.

nice one! People have worked 20 years without having some thing tangible to account for, if I spend ten years farming and all I do is cash crops, I will be a millionaire!

I have questions for you and you need to answer them from the bottom of your heart.
1. Consider the location of your fish pond to your house and place work. If its not too far or within the region.
You are too good to run fish farming and job together.

2. If you quit your current job, where will you get money to run your fish farming. Only if friends and families are there or you have spare money.
Think about that.....

3. what about basic amenities for your fish farming, borehole (regular water), pond, security, spare cash etc are they all available. Do you have zeal, passion, focus and determination.

4. Have you ever thought of managing both fish farming and job together and decide to quit your job maybe after 6 months.

5. Have you talked to people in fish farming business, ask them questions, let them guide you. I mean successful one and learn from the failed one.

Finally, pray to Baba God to more directions.
All the best. See you at the top.
