The journey to Entrepreneurship Begins

Focus and Discipline. There was a specific time in history, when I chose job over Entrepreneurship. I had a whole map. Career growth, job functions, professional bodies...I would start with road transport, switch to Maritime to make money, retire in Aviation because of their soft life. I'd work with ECOWAS and then UN. I had one Dr Eric I was looking to be like. I saw his name on a poster, as a Guest Speaker for a Logistics conference. He was the ECOWAS director/coordinator of Logistics and Supply chain. With his portfolio, I realised that there was indeed a great career in Transport Management. 6months after NYSC, I got employed in ABC Transport PLC. They were the leading Road transport company in Nigeria. Within a year, I was appointed as a Manager. I still had my head in the game. I applied to be a Chartered Member of Logistics and Transport CMILT. I didn't get the qualifications for the level I wanted, so I started online courses. Alison.com came through for me. I studied some transport related courses for free. I don't know how they decided to gift me one of my certificates during the covid pandemic. I started studying more, improving myself and fulfilling my Cont Dev Plan as required CILT. I sent professional applications to NITT Zaria. I still had my head in the game. After 3yrs, I felt I had gotten to the peak of my desire in Road transport. I started pushing another transport business, I had wanted to begin before I got the position. Dispatch Service. Post covid gave rise to the explosion of Dispatch Riders. I had bought a bike and started creating designs and social media presence as early as 2018. (HomeDel Logistics)

Now, I'm strung between going the entrepreneurial path with HomeDel or seeking out penetration into the maritime space. Maybe not as a jobber, but I could work and learn from a reputable firm for one year, and get the in on port operations. If ultimately money is what matters, do I really need to chase a path in maritime? HomeDel Logistics offers great value, but can HomeDel pay me that much, coz sincerely HomeDel requires much funding and I need to get my head in that game. I'm also tired of the retinue of a job life. Yet, it seems like this job route is a faster path to this money something, except a miracle happens at HomeDel logistics and happens really fast...esp while the ocean is still blue. I'm employed with another company that does what I want to do with HomeDel. Except that they deal with interstate Road transport companies. My mind is open to learn the process, while ofcourse doing my best to grow the company. The things that needs to be done by doing, can only be learnt by doing. So here we are...putting in the work...tryna live the dream against all odds. There's light ahead.
