The motivational speaker who told you to quit your good job and start your own business didn't tell you that he has no business besides reading books by John Maxwell, dressing in razor blade suits and packaging himself as the reservoir of motivation. Apart from that, let him show us a productive company he has built from scratch.
People like Elon Musk and Zuckerberg CAN NEVER motivate you to dump your job and start your own business... They know that the economy doesn't work like that. They will rather inspire you to Become what we call ENTREPRENEURIAL-EMPLOYEES in your place of work. This is the same thing you will learn from Mr. Strive Masiyiwa and that's what Mr. Richard Branson has done with his virgin conglomerate when he created a system that allows his employees to work from their vacation hotels provided that they are productive.
Instead of quitting your job because of a smooth talking motivational speaker or pastor, rather equip yourself to find a better job which allows you to pursue your other ambitions while still earning a stable monthly income.
Am I saying you shouldn't start your own business? 🤔 No. I'm only telling you that you can still live a great life working with a company that's not yours.
