First off everyone has to earn, you can't be hungry and in debt and still choose not to work for anyone to earn a little at least. As humans we have some basic necessities of which we need to sort out, few of which are food, shelter, clothing too but you can always manage the few clothes you can get, adding up are also our bills like light electricity, phones, internet and the likes, enough of human needs that we require money for. if you can't readily make this available it sends a bad feeling down your spine, it feels like poverty. Then we must earn, earn first, trust me its better this way.
Planning without money at all gives a sense of urgency and more need for luck in what you want to do. It makes you want to rush some needed process. Businesses should be grown, it doesn't just reach the peak at a go. If it did then you'll not be able to handle things when difficult times comes as the journey to the top was easy and smooth, however when you have stayed and fight through every step of the hurdles, little by little then to the tougher trials, it might be hard but it'll be easier to win compared to when you started off cheating the process.
Yes, earn first, I can understand everyone trying and praying to be their own boss but then if you don't have capital or you lack the necessary experience how do you intend to navigate through. So get humble enough to earn, yes earn two things, earn money and earn wisdom for your own business. A good father who has a business to hand over to his heir would and should send them into the field early not to earn money basically but to learn more enough to understand the business and make it better. So when you want to start make sure you are earning and learning to a good amount at least.
Getting a business is one of the smart choices anyone can make, it has a bit of luck no doubt, as many wants and really are prepared to start but the reason why they started late or are still hoping to start or unfortunately never started it was cause of the lack of finance, money is important, it plays a major roll don't let anyone else deceive you into thinking otherwise, Maybe there are some business you could do with little or no funds, just maybe but none is coming to mind at the moment, especially if its a business you treat as a source of livelihood.
You can love your kids so much but you can't guarantee them a position in your firm, its not your company even if you were a major shareholder, the tomorrow is not promised, but this you can do, both for yourself and the family you love so dearly, and its to get your own establishment, one you can control and groom, one whose documents are to your name and you very much can will as pleased. These is a gift you can offer and guarantee your kids right from their young, I know tomorrow isn't promised still but to a greater extent compared to that of an employed company, you can see to it that you keep your promise.
Now that you earn so you can eat, be clothed, pay bills to a certain extent, not necessarily every bill sorted out, and also you are earning the right knowledge to work with, plus you have seen the need to do it so you can pave a better future for your kids and family, the next line of action is to seat down, yes seat down and plan. Seat down meaning you have to be relaxed, forgo the tension and urgency. Come realistic to yourself, what to do, already the how to do wouldn't be a problem cause you're already learning on how to do it, more reason I said two 2 earnings are necessary, the money earning and the knowledge earning. Also with where to do it, location is often undermined but it greatly influence the business a lot, then when do I start. Seat down to plan and be serious with it.
What else do we do before we kick start, oh yes, the most important to me, I wonder why this is subjective to different people base on their upbringing, but I feel like it shouldn't be, like hey guys isn't it clear, there is no debate about his existence, he is the supreme God, so pray. If anything is to be done on earth, its only rational that we tender it to the rightful owners, just as the government needs to approve your business and some governors bodies supervises your operations, it's more better to bring everything to God in prayer. No one better to make it better. It doesn't make you Lazy or too religious to pray for your business, everything definitely isn't hard work, if it were those hardworking labourers would all be billionaires already, but with God its a better result.
Now you're ready so start. Start the journey to writing a new chapter, history is being made deliberately by you. It's definitely going down in history, your family would be eternal proud, they'll be like "my mom started this business and we love her", or " my grand father started this business, now it's a well known company. Not limited to them alone, dependent on how big it gets to, your country too can be grateful to you, especially when the business now contributes to helping solve unemployments in the country or contributes to the revenue of the country with a good amount. So many big companies now started off as a business. It grew, yours too will. Get up and start. Though we're earning or employed, let's plan on one side to own a business of ours.
