People must have a solid principle that is guiding their approach, they must set goals for the right reasons, i will recommend anyone who is still contemplating or not sure of how to get on this journey of freedom to go and read Robert Kiyosaki «Cash Flow Quadrant» and again play cashflow 101 game well enough especially with friends who have taken a sucessful journey to freedom, make sure you understand all the principles that comes up during the game, develop your strong strategies from that sound understand, i believe a lot of solutions will come up from there. If you desire is freedom, you need to clarify freedom from what? Financial freedom or freedom from responsibility, i have seen businesses that is worst than jobs, it is more slavery than anything, people need to be careful about self employment in quote, you must get your strategies right otherwise one might end with more bondage than you set out for. PASSIVE INCOME, RESIDUAL INCOME are keywords for anyone who truly desires financial freedom to understand very well and identify vechicles that can produce such income after a few period of work and match it up with his/her personality and abilities. There are more than enough genuine and reliable opportunities available today, it couldn't be much easier for any wise person.
Basically i have just shared some of the inputs that has influenced my own successful journey so far. God bless everyone.

nice blog by the way

You definitely hit the nail on the head. Obviously you speak from expereinece so I trust that as this post develops you will give some helpful advice.

I am trying to go it on my own but the challenge I face now is getting financiers who are not asking for an arm and a leg in return.

Tell me, how did you handle funding for your business? I would appreciate your insight

me thinks that hardship is a product of the fall of man in the garden of eden. how can one experience the pains when many seek perpetual happiness, it is a mirage.

if one fails to appreciate that hardship is a necessary ingredient of success, then that person will forever be tied to the apron strings of those who can reason that out.

please dipo, we need to commit more people to enterpreneurship for the benefit of the nation but while it is very painful but with the proper mindset, it is achievable.

i see you as an example of success with minimal hardship but ask yourself, would you trade it for retaining your job in glo even with an enhanced salary? certainly not.

for those who fail to understand the import of the garden of eden experience,they are condemned to slave for those who do.

awaiting your concluding post.
