But in South Sudan, owning a business is for the "uneducated" or "less" intelligent people.
I am not kidding. A guy called me out in 2018 when I was running my shop. Why in the world would I put my accounting degree on the shelf and opted to be a shop owner?

The idea is to start owning some sort of business apart from your primary job.
You never know, your side hustle may grow to bring more money than your main job and at that point, you can quit your job and turn your side hustle into a business.

Nothing prestigious about working as an office manager.
But there is pride in owning your own chicken farming business,
There is pride in owning your own cleaning business.
You are your boss; you answer to yourself.
