Another myth is dangote started with a loan of 500,000 naira. Can u imagine the value of 500,000 in the 1980's. that's over 500,000,000 naira in today's value. Add with the fact that, he was not paying any interest on the loan his uncle gave him. i think very few youths will be a failure with a loan of 500,000,000 naira without collateral and interest to start business. May God bless us with uncles like that of dangote's.

Well i Do Agree with Few.. Point of the Opp..

Buh to be Very Cadid..

The World Entrepreneurship is A HUSTLE..

and i Always say to Myself..

SUCCESS HAS DIFFERENT DEFINITION PENDING ON WHAT YOU SEE SUCCESS AS..

so i wouldn't say the Opp is Wrong or Totally Right..

I would Simply Say He has Made Point..

THE BIGGER YOUR DREAM THE BIGGER YOUR OBSTACLE..

THE BIGGER YOUR GOAL.. THE WIDER YOUR FIGHT..

MY ADVICE:

Entrepreneurship is not a wish.. ITS a fight..

The Major Weapon you Would is CONSISTENCE/PERSISTENCE on the DREAM..

ALL entrepreneurs can never have the Same STORY.. we are Different Same is Our FIGHT..

JUST MAKE SURE YOU ARE VERY SURE YOU ARE READY TO KEEP LEARNING TILL THE DAY YOU DIE..

Never stop Learning as an Entrepreneur.. and Never Give Approval of your Self Never!!!!

and Also the word NO.. would come very often so be ready to always say YES to yourself..

Because the one person you need IS YOURSELF... that doesn't mean you want to become an ISLAND..

It means YOU MUST KNOW THAT ITS JUST THAT NEEDS TO BELIEVE IN YOU FIRST..

OPP NICE POST...

wish all the Best..

Not true. It's actually better to start a business with peanuts so when you make mistakes the losses are small. The thing is most people want to start big but even the multimillion dollar companies we say today didn't start big at all. Amazon started with just selling books before they expanded their stock. They didn't make any profit until after 5 years. Tesla has been in existence since 2002 but produced their first car in 2008. It's better to start small and make mistakes than go all out.
