Entrpeneur to Employee

Posted on the September 29th, 2007 under Personal, Software, Work by Oladipo MD

I studied Robert Kiyosaki’s Cash Flow Quadrant, and I am quite impressed by it. I have took the advice strongly and had was working towards placing myself within the 4 quadrants - The Employee, The Self Employed, The Business Owner and The Investor. I was in the Self Employed quadrant and recently joined the Investor quadrant. I needed to put myself in the Business Owner quadrant and improve my position in the Investor quadrant.

I am a better investor. I am also in the Employee quadrant. Through this post, I will tell you how I became an employee for one of the biggest information technology companies in Nigeria.

On a lovely Monday, I received a call from a friend (Lagos State webmaster), asking if I was interested in paid employee. “My perfect chance to re-explore the employee quadrant”. I accepted. I went for the interview the following Wednesday.

It was good. Went for a follow-up interview with the MD on the Thursday of the following week. Met with the accountant on Monday and started that Monday.  Good package. Good environment. For now, perfect environment to cultivate employee characteristics.

Ok, for now, I am a web application developer with Soft Alliance and Resources Ltd.

Oh, we need an Oracle DBA, if you are interested, send me a mail and I will arrange an interview.
