It's so scary yet true; your first business will fail, because of lack of experience but what if you have worked in someone else's business and have gained some experience, isn't it possible to Succeed if you start the same Business?. Look at the founders of Paystack, I think it was their first Business and they succeeded🤔

Wow! Thanks sir. You are very correct once more. I've failed in the past 2 years as an Entrepreneur. And may likely fail. But I've also learnt alot which is part of the reason I'm still standing and going. Then your teachings and all has been an added advantage. God bless you, Sir. I hope to meet you in person some day. I wish you can be setting up trainings for entrepreneurs. It will be a blessing to us all...

Success Secrets TV
About two years ago, a 21-year-old guy (who met me online) visited my Lagos office with his business plan.
I took this paper from him and started going through his plans.
Then, I saw different cost analyses and then a figure.
You know what I'm talking about; the amount he thought he needed to start and make his business successful
I can't remember his exact figure now but I think it should be about two million naira ($5,000 if you're not in Nigeria).
Since this guy called me his mentor, I looked to his face and told him, "There's no way you'll start a business with this amount at 21!"
I announced to him that if he cannot start his first business with anything between $500 to $1,000 he couldn't be an entrepreneur
I told him that even if he sees someone to give him $10,000 he MUST not take it for his first business.
As you can guess, this young guy left my office and I never see him again.
You see, there's this one important thing most people don't know about entrepreneurship.
I'll tell you.
Listen.
Listen.
Pay attention;
Listen;
YOUR FIRST BUSINESS WILL fail.
Read that again; your first business WILL fail.
I can almost assure you that your first business or even the first three businesses WILL fail.
Before I tell you why your first business will almost certainly fail, let me tell you that the reason why you don't want to take a huge loan to start your first business is that; well, your first business will most likely FAIL.
Now, why do I claim that your first business will fail?
Listen.
Nobody knows entrepreneurship until a few failures.
That's the truth.
Don't even argue with me.
I don't care if you've read 100 books about entrepreneurship (I had read more than that before I started out in 2008).
I don't care if Bill Gates is your mentor.
I don't care what your experience is.
You don't really know what entrepreneurship is until you failed a few times.
What this means is that you want to fail in such a way as to be able to stand again.
I failed for 8 years and stood again each time because the amount I failed with was small.
Now here is my message;
People who are waiting till they have a lot of money before they would start a business are waiting for the wrong thing.
Why waiting for what you don't need?
People who want to start their first business with $100,000 don't know what entrepreneurship is.
The best way to build a house is to start with a block.
The best time to plant a tree is when it's small
The only way to start life is with a little sperm.
Stop waiting
Stop expecting a perfect start.
