There Is Nothing Wrong With A 9-5 Job by Beabeth(f): 5:12pm On Mar 22, 2017
Stop listening to these "quit your job" gurus. There is nothing wrong with working a 9-5 and you need your 9-5 to fund your 6-10 in the beginning.

When you're in the beginning stages of your business, that's the broke, don't know, need help, have no clue stage so why would you quit your job in that state of mind?

These gurus tell you to quit your job but once you quit and don't have any money left to pay them for their services, they are nowhere to be found. They tell you to quit your job, follow your dreams, stop punching that clock for the man, that job is holding you back and all of that is BS.

You are holding you back, not that job. You can work your 9-5 and still have your own business.

Work your 9-5 and your business for as long as you can together. There is nothing wrong with a job check and your business check at the same time.

Do what works for you and your business on your time. Stop letting these people that don't pay your bills dictate how you live your life.

9-5 job ??

God forbid

I know how people are enslaved with that 9-5 job

Growing up i knew i will never work for anyone in my life

I grew up in a little town in Anambra state, started packing blocks and building materials at construction sites, from there got the money to start buying motorcycle and reselling them, from there started going to China and the USA ,15 years later i Know how much i have in my bank account, no one gave me 5 naira

You live in Lagos, Onitsha, Aba and Lagos and you're still working for someone, you're lazy

Money is the easiest thing to do

Lazy people are the ones who take 9-5 jobs

Selling noodles can make you a millionaire​, the question is how do i get the money to start my own business

Again, getting the money for your business is very very easy, i won't teach you what to do, it only takes​ you being smart and intelligent

Sell your phone for a higher price, buy another phone, flip it for a higher price till you graduate to flipping laptops from there you can graduate to buying stuffs from Alibaba

Money is the easiest thing to make

Only a fool will quit his job when he doesn't have enough funds to start up his own business or tested his road map to be sure that he can stand on his own.

95% of people that tell u to do this and make easy money are scammers and only tapping into ur ignorance to get money from u and others like u. There is no short cut to making money, even yahoo yahoo boys spend countless hours on the system to get one maga. Only when u master ur craft that it becomes easy.

One thing i know for sure is that "There is nobody in this life that makes easy money and will gladly tell u its source or exactly how to do it". The reason they tell u is either the place is saturated and make little money from it or the risk involved his high.

Majority of the motivational speakers about wealth are scammers too and only want to sell books. If the information they are selling out is genuine or easy to practice, i bet they wont have time to write books to make money. Their only goal is to write books on "how to" but they cant do it.

The wealthy people in this life dont write books but focus on their business to make more money, only the biographers go to them and request to write books about them. You will never see a book credited to Amancio Ortega, bill gates, zukerberg, warren buffets, dangote, adenuga etc The only thing u read about them is about their lives. They will never reveal their secret or tell u how u can profit from their business except they want to use u to make more money.

My opinion is, focus on ur job, learn more about it if u enjoy it and look for ways of how to stand on ur own. None of the richest people in the world envisaged they will get to where they are today. They just kept trying and moving forward in their quest to better their past.

Think of a way of how u can provide a genuine essential service to at least 1000 people then increase ur target bit by bit. If u can achieve this then the sky will be ur starting point.

Good luck in ur quest for success... wink

Thanks for sharing.

However this could be deeper than you think.

What if your life assignment demands a full-time commitment?

A life of PURPOSE is much more fulfilling, even if it means earning lesser income.

Ever wonder why so many "rich" people are suicidal? There is more to life than money.

While working 9 - 5 gives you some work place experience, it is in no way comparable to living life on your terms, business sense. That is why it is advisable to always have a source of residual income. Relying only 9-5 jobs is a risky thing to do in todays world

So doctor is lazy.
Your Governor is lazy

If teachers do not take 9-5 jobs, who will teach?
if doctors do not take 9-5 jobs, who will treat you when you are sick?

Two things in life.

You go for security

Or you go for freedom

If security is your priority; then you can continue to manage your 9-5 salaried job

But if you are one of us who love their freedom more than anything else in the world... I believe you know what to do!!!
