How I Nurtured My Entrepreneurial Aspirations As An Employee

Do you have entrepreneurial aspirations but you don’t feel ready to pursue your dreams yet for reasons best known to you?

You are not alone. Most people who aspire to be entrepreneurs at one time in their journey had to hesitate on their dreams due to reasons ranging from finance to lack of adequate business experience and other entrepreneurship resources.

I was once in your shoes and below is how I nurtured my entrepreneurial aspirations while working as an employee

I employed 3 tactics which were diligence, effectiveness and patience.

I dedicated myself so diligently to my job that I lost sight of my future goals. However, after toiling away for four years, I made the decision to pursue my entrepreneurial aspiration as a side hustle.

I was so effective in my paid employment that my side hustle never caused any issues with my boss regarding my day job.

Thirteen years later, I reached a point where I had to leave my paid employment behind and fully devote myself to my business.

Was it a smooth transition?

Absolutely!

The ease was largely due to the fact that I had already been nurturing my business idea while working as an employee; I had been fostering a close relationship with my entrepreneurial aspirations.

What so you want to do? Take action now.

Not everyone will become a business owner, but all employees will eventually retire. Do you really want to wait until then to start exploring potential business ideas?

The bottom line?

While you focus on someone else’s business as an employee, also pay attention to your own. Think about what you can do, even if it’s starting a small-scale venture, while employed.

It’s important to remember that your own business is your responsibility. No one else is going to take care of it for you. So, it’s important to make time for it, even if you’re working a full-time job. By following the tips I shared, you can nurture your entrepreneurial aspirations and eventually achieve your goals.
