What makes an entrepreneur
Understand why the entrepreneur-vs-self-employed distinction: a self-employed person (freelancer, sole trader) creates a job for themselves.
Opportunity vs security
Understand why the runway principle: most businesses take 6-24 months to become cash-flow positive.
Dangote and Paystack stories
Understand why paystack's trajectory: Nigerian problem (making online payments simple for Nigerian merchants) + world-class execution = global acquirer at 9 figures.
Failure as teacher
Understand why the 'failure intelligence' advantage: each failed venture teaches market selection, customer acquisition, unit economics, team building, and cash management.
Are you ready?
Understand why the three honest readiness questions test: (1) financial resilience — tolerating zero income without panic, (2) rejection resilience — customers who say no, (3) problem resilience — not abandoning when things break.
