I rented an office, hired employees, and worked with them remotely while doing a good job for my employers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let me first debunk an insidious lie that has killed many careers: \u201cYour salary is the bribe they give you to forget your dreams.\u201d It is just NOT true. \u201cYour salary is what you earn while giving value to your employers and learning to run a business at their expense\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cYour salary is what you earn while giving value to your employers and learning to run a business at their expense\u201d- Tayo Oyedeji<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>We can\u2019t all start business straight out of university. Many of us have to work for food, clothing, and shelter after graduating. Others need to support struggling family members. Whatever your reason, please don\u2019t see paid employment as a betrayal of your goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ll share the five steps that helped me build my own businesses on the side while delivering value to my employers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1: DON\u2019T STEP TOO FAR FROM YOUR CORE COMPETENCE<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you work in banking, you probably understand finance better than most people. If you work for an FMCG, retail may be your forte. Find something that is in your natural sphere of influence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My father was the CFO for a major corporation in the \u201980s when he had the genius idea of building an agrochemical business on the side. Bad idea. Accounting and agro-chemicals are so far apart that the business never succeeded. Stay in your lane, bro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My first side business was a tech development firm. We built business strategy implementations tools. I was a business leader implementing a new strategy for my paid employment. The tech we built was based on my experience delivering value to my day job\u2019s board of directors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"http:\/\/cwry.se\/blog_signup\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"221\" src=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/CTA-Card-11-1024x221.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4668\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/CTA-Card-11-1024x221.png 1024w, https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/CTA-Card-11-300x65.png 300w, https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/CTA-Card-11-768x166.png 768w, https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/CTA-Card-11-1536x332.png 1536w, https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/CTA-Card-11-2048x442.png 2048w, https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/CTA-Card-11-360x78.png 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: ALWAYS START SMALL<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are no guarantees in business. Your business can fail despite the best-laid plan and even topnotch implementation. Start small, then scale slowly until you can do it full-time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have a friend who started a restaurant in Lagos with about $250,000. He had the money and thought it would be a good idea to blow out the competition on day 1. Bad idea, he lost everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: WORK WITH A PARTNER<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It is important for one of the business owners to work full-time in the business. If that\u2019s not feasible, give small equity holding to your most senior employee. That way someone in the business has an ownership stake that binds him\/her to the firm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4: RECOGNIZE THE PLACE OF INSTITUTIONAL SUPPORT IN YOUR DAY JOB<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You are a star employee. That\u2019s great. Corporations, however, have strategies to help you succeed. Please make sure you can deal with the uncertainties of entrepreneurship before you make the jump to build a side hustle.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"shortcode-block\">    <div class=\"inhype-postline-block-wrapper\">\n      <div class=\"container\">\n        <div class=\"row\">\n          <div class=\"inhype-postline-block inhype-postline-block-397353 inhype-block clearfix\">\n            <div class=\"owl-carousel\">\n            \n                  <div class=\"inhype-post\">\n                    <div class=\"inhype-postline-block-content\">\n\n                      <div class=\"inhype-postline-details\">\n                        <div class=\"post-categories\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/money-guides-and-tips\/\"><span class=\"cat-dot\" data-style=\"background-color: #000000;\"><\/span><span class=\"cat-title\">Guides<\/span><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/investment-tips\/\"><span class=\"cat-dot\" data-style=\"background-color: #000000;\"><\/span><span class=\"cat-title\">Investing<\/span><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/money-tips\/\"><span class=\"cat-dot\" data-style=\"background-color: #000000;\"><\/span><span class=\"cat-title\">Money Tips<\/span><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/saving-tips\/\"><span class=\"cat-dot\" data-style=\"background-color: #000000;\"><\/span><span class=\"cat-title\">Savings<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n                        <h3 class=\"post-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/winning-1-million-naira\/\">Money Moves: Winning 1 Million Naira and Blowing it All at 19<\/a><\/h3>\n                                                <div class=\"post-date\"><time class=\"entry-date published updated\" datetime=\"2021-06-09T13:56:21+01:00\">June 9, 2021<\/time><\/div>\n                                              <\/div>\n\n                                            <a href=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/winning-1-million-naira\/\" class=\"inhype-post-image-link\">\n                        <div class=\"inhype-post-image\" data-style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Feri-Article-header.png);\"><\/div>\n                      <\/a>\n                                          <\/div>\n                  <\/div>\n            \n                  <div class=\"inhype-post\">\n                    <div class=\"inhype-postline-block-content\">\n\n                      <div class=\"inhype-postline-details\">\n                        <div class=\"post-categories\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/money-guides-and-tips\/\"><span class=\"cat-dot\" data-style=\"background-color: #000000;\"><\/span><span class=\"cat-title\">Guides<\/span><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/money-tips\/\"><span class=\"cat-dot\" data-style=\"background-color: #000000;\"><\/span><span class=\"cat-title\">Money Tips<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n                        <h3 class=\"post-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/the-connection-between-stress-and-money\/\">The Connection Between Stress And Money: How To Manage Both<\/a><\/h3>\n                                                <div class=\"post-date\"><time class=\"entry-date published updated\" datetime=\"2023-03-27T16:35:10+01:00\">March 27, 2023<\/time><\/div>\n                                              <\/div>\n\n                                            <a href=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/the-connection-between-stress-and-money\/\" class=\"inhype-post-image-link\">\n                        <div class=\"inhype-post-image\" data-style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Stress-And-Money.png);\"><\/div>\n                      <\/a>\n                                          <\/div>\n                  <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 5: DON\u2019T LEAVE YOUR DAY JOB UNTIL YOUR HUSTLE CAN PAY THE BILLS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ve gradually built a business while working for the man.
