Combining both class
works and business can be tiring and frustrating because some students tends to
lose focus in class thereby falling their grades and because of this, many
business idea have been thrown to trash.
But then, it’s interesting
to know that businesses that are
initiated by students actually thrives well and becomes successful due to the fact
that wise students coverts basic knowledge learnt in class into ideas used in their
businesses.
The followings are
secretes to a successful schooling and business combination.

Define
your goals. First thing is why do you wants to
combine schooling with business and not wait till after graduating? What kind
of business comes with high profit and less stress in school? What’s your profit,
values and goals, does your profit outweighs the stress and loss? You should be able to provide answers to
questions like this so you won’t end up losing on both sides at the end.
2.

perfect timetable. You’ve heard lots of people say time is
precious. Apart from combining schooling and working, a serious student should
have a study timetable, also, a successful businessman must have guideline. Therefore,
in combining schooling and working, draw out your timetable, the amount of time
you wished to spend in doing your school work and the amount of time and activities
planned for business must be layout.
3.
Create
a daily plan, but always have a plan ‘B’. Kindly look
forward to your goals each day and work towards it. In as much as you have a daily
plan, please plan ahead because you can never tell, since you’re not directly
the controller of how the school runs as there might be an impromptu change of class time, change of venue and unfavorable
lecturers’ policy. Imagine how you could cope with an impromptu change of class
test to 8am which was initially supposed to be held by 2pm and you look forward
to delivering your business product or rendering a service to a customer at
8am. That’s where your plan ‘B’ comes in
as you should have foretell tell your costumer initially how the delivery or
service time could be shifted.

Deal
with the important task first. If it’s a promotional
exam and your business service happened to comes up same time, be wise enough
to know the most important one and set aside the others which can wait with no
damages.
5.

strong relationships and connections. Businesses thrive well
when there is awareness. Being a student gives you an advantage because you get
to meet new people almost every day in the campus. Use your class to promote
your business. It’s easier if your classmates are your customers. Relate with people
and make them patronize you.
6.
Cut
off all unnecessary things and people. Combining Schooling and
business is no child’s play as it requires maximum focus so you won’t loose on
both sides. Cut off unnecessary things like hanging out with some friends while
you have loads of work to complete
because you don’t want them to feel bad. Be quick to identify people with no
intentions of helping you or trying to stress you unnecessarily, cut them off!
7.
Check
up on yourself. Maintain a good health, set time limits,
un-plug once in a while to avoid a breakdown.
8.
Most
importantly, be grateful. keep in touch with your family and
friends so as to find creative solutions, to get moral support, reduce pressure
and stress and for your mental health!

is no bad idea after all. There are many ways you can make money from this while
you live comfortably without bordering your parents and with the above
guidelines, there’s no limit with which your business can thrive and you would as
well make good grades.
