What informed your decision to venture into entrepreneurship?

I grew up in a single family household, having lost my father at a tender age of one.  I watched my mom strive to make ends meet and ensure we had the basic necessities for survival. I guess that brewed my interest in becoming an entrepreneur. I grew up with the orientation that nothing is easily handed to you if you don’t go for it the right way. And I enjoyed the little returns made from the days labour. As an undergraduate, I began a college bulletin called Shellies Quill. I was 21 years then. I made roughly 300 copies that were sold for a meagre sum of N30 on campus. But my real journey as an entrepreneur began after my internship as a medical laboratory scientist in 2016.
