Award winning PR expert and founder of Black House Media - home to organizations such as The NetNG, Placaq, Orin, NEC Live; Adekunle Ayeni has admonished entrepreneurs to do what they have to when it comes to establishing their business idea.
Via his Instagram account @ayenithegreat, he wrote "I didn’t start on time. I waited two years before I started because I was afraid of failure. (I still am, but that’s story for another day).
.
I was earning a steady (but small) income where I used to work and I was scared of losing it. That delayed me for two years.
.
If you have an idea and you are convinced it is your calling to be an entrepreneur, by all means go and do it. You are better off starting young, failing and retracing your steps than waiting till when you get old.
.
Secondly, don’t think money can stop you. That’s a lie. Start small, start with what you have, sell your car, sell your shoes, start in your bedroom. Just find a way, just start.
.
Finally, by all means get education. You don’t have to be in a classroom. I follow HBR’s live broadcasts on Facebook almost everyday. That’s like studying at Harvard for free! All you need is an internet connection. If you think you learn best within a classroom, then sell your shirt, sell your phone, go and apply for the right course, based on recommendations from someone you respect.
.
Give everything you can to gain information, that’s what will separate you. That’s what will guarantee that you cannot fail."
