Bible Reading: Deuteronomy 8:18, 30:9
Memory Verse: Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers. 3 John 1:2 (NKJV)
This year 2021, the unemployment rate of a country like Nigeria is estimated to reach 32.5 percent. This figure is projected to increase further in 2022. Hence, there is a need to look for an alternative way forward. One of such ways is entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship is the activity of setting up a business or businesses, taking on financial risks in the hope of profit. Someone sent this write up to me, and I am trusting God it will provoke you towards entrepreneurship. It reads: Don’t leave a job to start a business, but start a business to leave a job. One of the business trainers was quoted as saying: “People do not have the patience to build a business for 5 years but they have the patience to go to work for 40 years at the expense of inheriting a clock.” It is not a mistake to be born poor, but it is a mistake to die poor. So start a business to leave a job. JOB simply means Just Over Broke.
SALARY is a word derived from a Greek word “SALARIAM” which means salt allowance. It is a money enough to buy salt. Please don’t leave a job to start a business but start a business to leave a job. Do something about your life today. Start thinking about how to make more legitimate money everyday. Think Residual Income. Start with a small targeted amount and grow as you go. Start with something that will give you even if it is #100 (less than a dollar) a day. It is better than going to bed without making even a kobo. Let’s put our faith into action. Take risks and start a business today. Salary alone cannot solve your money problems. You need a secondary source of income to balance up. Salary is the medicine for managing poverty, it doesn’t cure it. Only your business or investment cures poverty. Be financially intelligent. Have a Plan B. Think entrepreneurship.
