My sole aim of going into business was to “hammer” (“hammer” is a Nigerian slang for “make it big”), and other than to “hammer” ,nothing else mattered .
 I was only always interested in converting opportunities that came my way into immediate cash,for me, it was all about the hustle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

In very short time,my business lost everything and i had to go back to the drawing board.
At this point ,i realized i had nothing, nothing at all to fall back on, emm well except a certificate from a renowned Nigerian business school and relationships.<\/p>\n

These 2 things though not consciously acquired ,were highly instrumental in rebuilding my business.
Even the business degree came through a scholarship i applied for because it was attached to prize money.<\/p>\n

The entire experience of rebuilding the business transformed my outlook on entrepreneurship, it helped me see how much better i am an entrepreneur than i was a hustler.<\/h4>\n

As a hustler,i only wanted to make money; as an entrepreneur, i create,build,grow and evolve to stay relevant in business.<\/p>\n

With this realization , i am proud to say “i am good work in progress”,an Entrepreneur and not a hustler….<\/p>\n

Yours truly,
F.O (The Entrepreneur)<\/p>\n
