Are YOU A University Student In Nigeria? 3 Reasons Why You Should Start A Business ASAP!

Starting and running a business as a university student on campus in Nigeria has great benefits, but take these 3:

#1:
Make Money!

The reason for any business venture is profit (money). I have seen & met numerous students who have earned plenty of cash doing business on campus. You, too, can become one.

#2:
Learning!

Granted. Not every uni student who starts a business will end up with a successful business venture or even make substantial money. BUT in reality, all will end up rich in experience & personal growth. Remember, experience is the best teacher; & trust me: the experience you’ll get from starting & running a business while in uni trumps making money.

#3:
You might just start something “huge”!

I did a post on tech businesses that were started on campus & have grown to become global business giants. An interesting takeaway was that none of the founders of those companies knew for sure that they’d become as big as they are today.

So… who knows?

That small business you start in uni might become something big, & provide employment to hundreds or even thousands of graduates in the future.

Are YOU A University Student In Nigeria? What Profitable Business Can You Start? And With What Capital?

Whenever I suggest to uni students that they start a business, I always get asked these two questions. Always:

Question #1: What Profitable Business Can A Student Start?

Question #2: With What Capital?

And always, this is my response:

If you are a uni student in 100-level, you are “permitted” to ask such questions. However, if you’re in 200-level and above and do not have the right answers to questions #1 and #2 above, then there’s a problem.

🔥 And here’s the problem:

You do not have the right & needed mindset to start a business as a uni student.

Why do I say so?

Any student with the right & needed mindset for student entrepreneurship will definitely not be asking such questions.

So even if I tell you the profitable business to start and give you capital (money) to start, you’d still fail. The business venture will not succeed. Trust me.

🔥 Here’s what you must do urgently:

Start by developing the right & needed mindset for starting a business on campus. The right mindset will help you answer such questions!

How do you develop the right mindset?

Simple answer: Educate yourself! Learn all you can about student entrepreneurship.

I’ll explain how to do that in my next post.

BUT…

In summary:

As a uni student, if you don’t know what business to start, or if you think you don’t have the required capital to start, then there is a bigger problem: You do not have the right & needed mindset for starting a business as a uni student.

Start by developing the right/needed mindset by educating yourself!

Are YOU A University Student In Nigeria? ARE YOU BROKE?

Students from rich homes appear to have no worries; they look 'cleaner', use the latest phones, eat at the best campus eateries and always have money to buy all study materials and textbooks.

On the other hand, as a broke (poor) student, you mostly struggle through the semester; often not having enough cash, & you can only afford to buy study materials for 'life-threatening' courses.

🔥 Here’s the Question:

What should a broke Uni student do? Should you attempt to alter your financial state? Or should you endure this poverty and struggle until you graduate?

But again, there's no 100 per cent guarantee that you’ll stop being broke after you graduate.

So…

🔥 Here’s my candid advice:

"Do something now".

Even as a university student, you can change your poverty story and find your way out. I am telling you this from experience.

If you are tired of being broke, you must stop wishing or dreaming of a better financial life that will come in the future while you fold your arms.

You can either do something today to initiate change or do nothing and remain the same.

One of the surest ways to 'Do Something" is to start a profitable business on campus.

🔥 But:

#1: What profitable business can you start?

#2: With what Capital?

If you don’t have the right answers to these questions, please read the next post!

Are YOU A University Student? Here’s 1 More Business That Was Started By A Uni Student. Can You Do the Same?

Reread the topic above… Noticed I wrote “1 More…” right?

Yes. That’s because there are a thousand & one such stories.

As a lecturer, when I try to encourage my students to embrace student entrepreneurship, the response I always get suggests that too many students believe it is nearly impossible for a uni student to start & run a business venture in Nigeria.

So… if you are a uni student who still thinks it’s impossible to start a profitable business on campus with very-very little capital & eventually grow it to a big business venture, here is a YouTube video that might change your mind:

YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BL8gaE82R7I

🔥 Quick Summary:
The video interview is by “Founders Connect” and it’s of Elsa Bankole, who started a successful jewellery business with just ₦5,000 borrowed from her cousin while in her 100 level at the University of Lagos.

In this inspiring video, Elsa talks about her journey as a broke student who just wanted to change her financial status and decided to start a business and how a roommate introduced her to buying & selling.

She shares her journey bootstrapping her business from zero to multiple funding rounds and juggling academics and entrepreneurship (She graduated with a first-class in Biochemistry).

Elsa shared her top tips for any student aiming to combine being a student and running a business.

If you’re a student, this story will inspire you and serve as another proof that you can start & run a successful business as a uni student too.

🔥**PS:
In case you don’t have enough data to watch the YouTube video…

I have neatly written out the interview and can send it to you as a WhatsApp chat. I also added my thoughts & top 3 lessons you can draw from Elsa’s story. Send me a WhatsApp chat with the message “Send me Elsa’s story” if you want me to send it to you.
