Salary is not a bribe your employer pays you to forget your dreams!
So what is in a salary then?
Don't think of quitting your job or starting another business until you have read this article.
When I was working my 9-5 job, I began to study how online businesses work on the side.
Those days when I was into e-commerce, I would use money out of my salary to import products and resell online.
Sometimes I would also use money from my salary to run ads to sell the products.
Most of the money I was spending to keep my side online business running came from my salary.
Apart from that, I also needed to invest in my personal development so I had to deep hands into my salary to buy courses.
The first time I ever bought a course to learn how to build Online Courses, the money came from my salary.
I can still remember paying one Mr.Joe Okoro, a renowned Nigerian internet coach $1,000 to train me for 1 month on how to build Online courses. That money came from my salary. That particular training launched me into my journey of building online courses and sales funnels.
I also paid for an Executive Entrepreneurship/Leadership Training in Dubai worth a few millions of naira in 2017. That money also came from my savings
Why am I sharing all these with you?
I see motivational quotes like "your salary is the bribe your employer pays you to forget your dreams" and I feel that's absolute gibberish.
If you have a 9 - 5 job, don't allow anyone make you feel stupid or foolish for being an employee.
Some of the people posting such quotes are broke and only doing so to make you emotional and so purchase something they are selling.
There are employees who earn millions of dollars yearly and they're doing well even more than most entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurship is not a walk in d park. It requires loads of vision, planning, courage, persistence, risk mgt, faith and a lot more. But the results are always worth it, if you do it right
Your salary is not the bribe your employer pays you to forget your dreams.
Your salary is the seed your employer pays you to build your dreams. If u don't build your dreams, it's not your employers fault.
If you fail to build your dream while working for someone else, it's not your employers fault.
If you want to go into business, don't be too quick to quit your job to start one.
You can keep your job and be developing yourself and running your business on the side like I did.
Use the money you earn from your salary to keep building your business on the side till it grows to an extent where it can pay you at least 3 times your salary.
There is a lot you can do with your salary.
You can start a side business from your salary.
You can buy courses for personal development from your salary.
You can run ads from your salary.
You can pay for coaching from your salary.
You can pay for trainings from your salary.
Don't see your salary as a bribe to forget your dreams, see it as a seed to build your dreams.
Plant it, water it and let it grow and produce more fruits for you.
