MY CONTEST ENTRY

For this week contest, I will answer the question - Where are you struggling in becoming an entrepreneur?

Becoming an enterpreneur is one of my biggest dream from child.
But some times I see it as what I can't achieve because of the way things are in the country here in Nigeria.
I have this zeal to always have people around that I mentor, generate ideas and things that will be source of income for me and family without working under someone, but I have this fear which is because of the situation of things in my country.
During my Secondary school I was among the best student of food and nutrition during the course of our practicals I learnt a lot of things like baking of cake cooking and decoration from there i pick interest of establishing my own business, after my west Africa examination I needed to learn more about the skill first I went ahead to pay for tutorial class on how to bake cake I learnt that and I started baking, few years after then I gained Addmision to school and focused on my studies though sometimes when I come back from holiday I do get orders from my old Customers to bake for them but at a time everything stopped reason because the pattern of cake 🍰🎂 decorations changed people no longer wants to get petronize me because my works now looks like an old fashion.

But the zeal of becoming an enterpreneur never died but the challenge is just that I can't go back to learn again because am not ready to go into the business fully because of my education secondly I will love to also learn the whole business such as everything about cooking, interior and exterior decorations , cakes for different occasions like birthday party, wedding anniversary and lots before going into the business fully, but with the way things are over I might end up after learning with huge amount of money establishing becomes a problem even after establishment getting a contracts might be another challenge because everything here is based on connection sometimes people even pay for them to get a contract, maybe like when yo know someone who is planning a wedding you as a cake designer you will have to pay the person so he can give you the contract else the contract will be giving to someone else.
And I'm a kind of person that I don't know how to beg for anything even if I should set up my establishment going out for marketing will be another Issue because I believe you don't have to impose anything on anyone because is the money and they should be able to know what they want and go for it.

CONCLUSION

I'm really struggling in setting up a means that will keep my company going and with the way things are being done here is not just encouraging to avoid spending huge amount of money acquiring a skill at the end of the day am unable to feed with the skill.
