As a college student, I have seen a lot of my colleagues asking around on how they can manage their business and run their academics perfectly well at the same time.
First, what is the reason for which you're getting an education? Then, what was your reason for starting up that business? It seems trivial but in order to know how to manage both concurrently, try to understand the purpose for which you went into them in the first place. Discovering that earlier helps you in a way when you're about to place priority.
After discovering the purpose you started both, ask yourself if it is worth it to drop one, will you be comfortable in the future with dropping your academics or your business? Will you regret it in years to come?
Now, this part requires utmost honesty; I mean, a lot of people will try deceiving themselves that they won't regret it but when they meet their mates at the government house for instance doing well as the boss there, they regret dropping their academics. Likewise, when they see their mates abroad getting stocks for their businesses, envy sets in within them. So, ask yourself truthfully, "Will I regret it?"
Balancing Academics and Business?
In a situation where you have accessed yourself and you notice you cannot afford to drop off any of it, my take on this is that you dare the impossible!
Do your academics excellently and do your business well.
You do not have to make one aspect suffer loss for the sake of the other one. You could be in billions and be swimming in A's. It is totally feasible. How can you achieve this feat?
1.Have it engraved in your mind that disdaining your academics to face business squarely shows that you are a time-waster.
A reliable person is known by how they spend their time and while it may seem normal to you today that you cannot cope anymore and so, you would ignore your academics for your business, to other friends or acquaintances of yours, you have successfully portrayed yourself as a time-waster, you have indirectly told everyone that you cannot be relied on for achievement of long-term goals.
Very few people will love to work with you from that instant.
You could have an itinerary daily to assist you in managing your business well and having your academics moving at the same fast pace.
2.Go at your academics at full force and likewise with your business.
There are no complete tips to balancing academics with business, if you aren't careful, you might end up jeopardising one for the other. Instead, the best alternative is to learn the habit of managing your time properly. When it is time for business, go at it 100%, when it is time for academics, go at it 100% also.
What I mean is, when it is time for you to be in class, that is not the appropriate time for you to start taking business orders, whatever time you have set aside for business is not meant for you to start rushing to do assignments. This is why what is called "Business hours" exists; it is so that you wouldn't under or over-work yourself as well as letting whomever wants to patronise you know when you will be available. This gives you a good reputation as someone who manages their time well.
3.Get rid of impossibility mindset.
Get rid of the mindset that always subconsciously makes excuses for yourself. You can fathom it out yourself if you have the impossibility mindset by virtue of the type of questions you ask and by the way you look.
You went to school to be a better person and possibly own a degree so you don't have to see impossibilities in your academics and start contemplating dropping out because of loads of classes; likewise, you went into business to earn more, your customers aren't there to hear you complain all day about how they're stressing you. Then, why not just close down?
My favourite reader, it might seem like you are in the woods today accompanied by both your business and academics but implementing those tips up there is a sure way for you to experience a break-out.
Bye!
