You just said the gospel truth.

One man business is the most useless among jobs

Dika so true on point

Very true,

Another point you forgot to add is that, you may easily become a successful entrepreneur because you will be exposed to the process and work flows, hence starting your own business will be encouraging with less fear.

So so true!!!!
I can’t agree less

How does one employ guys like you who work on nairaland and continuously post fliers like this that promote a product or service.
Also, what is the monthly salary range like?

Xoxoloo:
Omo me I no like eye service ooo. I love to keep it real

Keeping it real with a one man business boss is a recipe to getting you fired quickly. You can’t always keep it real with a one man business. Or else he will see you as a threat and fire your stubborn ass

gasedi2731:
Nice

this guy is a SCAM OOO
his name is OLUDAIRO EZEKIEL OLUMAYOWA. HIS BROTHERS NAME IS OLUDAIRO DAVID
HE'S NOT A DATA RESELLER... HE IS A THIEF. I HAVE PROOF.
I'VE REPORTED HIM AND HIS BROTHER AND THEY ARE PRESENTLY HUNTING FOR THEM.

NAIRALANDERS BE GUIDED.

Very very true

One business is worse than slavery. Infactu should know already self. Think about it u came and saw no one there just you, what happened to the previous guy . Like i did i left the fool when he least expected it. U can never impress a boss in such working place so your job search should continue infact whenever someone ask you "how's work" don't respond.

The eye service isn't correct.

I work in a place that most people do the eye service of a thing. One day, the owner said something that shocked the people around, he said I know those that do eye service and those that work without pretence whether he was around or not.

We were rewarded accordingly.

hmmm, Noted

FalseProphet1:
Op didn't stress very well on the eye service, in a one man business, it's very important to paint yourself like an angel of light before your boss, be at his office before he even calls you and ask him if there are any errands he will like you to run, build a very close relationship with him and you'll get promotions and salary raise you don't merit.

One man business is like a church setting, where you have the senior pastor and other junior pastors assisting him, most times, when it's time for promotion the senior pastor promotes the most loyal junior pastor and not the most qualified. This is how it is in one man business. This I have seen.

someone like me will see through you if your intent is genuine or not lol.

Nothing can substitute experience. Op you really explained them in a simple language.

Omo!




You said it as it is.

All what you said are true!

But why be a man pleaser or a boss pleaser when you can be just ourselves and be honest with your boss.


God hate every hypocrite and eyes service ways.

Are you a Christian just on Sunday or for all days.
God hate hypocrite but love you as you are whether a sinner or someone outside the grace of God.

Because of God's love Jesus die for you.

Repent and believe the gospel

I can so relate to point no1. I don't do the eye service....my boss says I dey do like "whitee"

I experienced all the highlighted points. Kudos to the writer.

This does not change the fact that in Australia, there are 48 million kangaroos and in Uruguay, there are 3,457,380 inhabitants. So if the kangaroos decide to invade Uruguay, each Uruguayan will have to be battling with 14 kangaroos.

Correct

The eye service language is a failure and coward approach.
U cannot go far from there if that's all u think to it

Work for what u are being paid. If possible, do better.
Defend your value anytime.
Leave for promotion without contemplation if u know what is good for u.

Thanks anyway

anything concerning salary just count me off, am better off with my shop and GOD is blessing me in abundance

Good thread, let us add more for the benefits of sane members here...

Advantages Of One-Man Business

The following are the advantages of the one-man business.

Personal interest of the owner enhances efficiency.
Decision taking is quick since the owner does not need to consult anybody.

He enjoys profits from the business alone.

The owner enjoys independence since he is his own boss.

There is personal contact with his employees, so employee's motivation is thus enhanced.

The sole proprietor can have more than one occupation.

Disadvantages of One-Man Business

There is limited capital for expansion purposes.

This is partly due to the inability of the owner to borrow money from banks.

The sole proprietor has unlimited liability as his personal assets can be sold in case of business failure.

The business is not a separate legal entity, therefore, it cannot sue or be sued.

Sole proprietor business lacks the certainty of continuity because the death of the owner or poor management can result in the death of the business.

The owner of a sole proprietorship has the disadvantages in the area of specialization because he is involved in too many activities.

His decision, in most cases, may not be effective because two good heads are better than one

this is inconsequential. We all did business studies in high school abeg. Stick to supporting buhari's government

Also as you are doing tge eye service, make sure you are holding on to God or whatever you believe in strongly because you will step on toes and many will not take it lightly.

Chrizoby:
You hv seen and said it all. No one can be more accurate than you. That's why it's so difficult for us that don't do eyes service.

Very difficult to be precise. They will tell you, I dont like eye service but in truth they actually enjoy it. Another very important key point he mentioned is to know when to leave. I learnt this late but never again. This days if I dont see growth within 6 months to 1 year...Guy I go pick race..I don japa

soundOsonic:
You forgot this important part
you will do job beyond the job description
In one man business, just be praying so they won't sack one person.
If one person gets sack, others will have to do the work of the sacked individual. He might not be replaced, increasing the workload of other innocent folks.
you might be promoted but you are less likely to get a raise
This one everybody salary is stagnant, and yes your supervisor salary might be slightly higher than yours.
you will be threatened everyday with getting sacked
Like the OP said, the emotional abuse will be too much, and the pent up negative frustration needs to be released somewhere, it is more Likely that individual brings the negative emotions to his/her home. OP no one I repeat no one can withstand emotional abuse, it needs to be channeled out.
working harder than the rest won't grant you favor
Never give 100% of your energy working one man business, people will get used to your performance, the day you will slack will be the day they will complain about you, while the other lazy staff won't get any complain because they are used to their working lifestyle.

so true

you nailed every aspect of One Man Business. Infact you didn't miss anything. I couldn't bear it then I opted out

..the most important thing is the nature of the business owner. Some will take u as a family member..some will run u down like a slave!.
..but let me add a few from my experience.
1. Try and position urself to make it difficult to be dispensed with. Very advantageous.
2. Never display all ur skills/ability. Keep some to yaself.
3. Never show any fear being sacked. If not, those sadistic business owners go frustrate u.
4. Always maintain 60% humility and 40% pride. Before one mad business owner tell u to come him house con wash car.
..lemme stop here for now.

airforce1pikin:
eye service is very important

i sack any of my workers caught in the act of eye service, i hate pretense.
Why should i care about my oga mood swings as long as i'm doing the right thing... walahi, i no get time for nonsense and i put it straight to my oga then when she goes wrong. When i left, she uses me as good example. The bottom line is know your worth, let no one rubbish you. Eye service is for feeble minds and low I.Q.
Be deligent and always improve yourself, dont stop acquiring skills
