Micro Entrepreneurship

It’s been 3 months since I started my journey as a micro entrepreneur,  there are a handful of  things to unlearn and so many new lessons to discover. Please allow me to share some of my realizations thus far.

Micro entrepreneurship is not about

1. Less work– unlike in my former life where I got lots of people to delegate work with. Well, not anymore.
2. Less pressure– as an employee, you can slow down but salary is still coming at the expected pay-out. As a micro entrepreneur, no productive output = no income
3. Playing hard ball– as an executive, I can play hard ball with colleagues, but as a micro entrepreneur, I need to invest on goodwill.
4. Working at home —  but working mobile
5. Flexi time– because entrepreneurs work 24/7
6. Sales– it’s about the all things
7. Networking– it’s about relationship
8. Specialization– it’s about diversification. You don’t know what area will give you revenue
9. Meeting  a need– because entrepreneurship is about making a need known
10. Risks– but about faith. Believe on yourself and your conviction

My journey to entrepreneurship is no walk in the park but fun. Need lot’s of prayers to look beyond the difficulties and regular shots of faith to be courageous. Until my next learning update…
