"Don't quit your job, people don't always achieve success through entrepreneurship. What you see on social media is only the nice parts, but frankly speaking most local entrepreneurs and business leaders are suffering within, including me," he started.

According to Frank, he constantly encounters people who want to quit their jobs to become entrepreneurs but his advice was that the motivation should not be to run away from stress otherwise they will regret it.

Reactions from social media users

A lady named Maame Darkoa Amoako said:

Please, everyone, stay in your 8-5 jobs oo...After all, so much can be achieved from 7- 10 also. Think about it.

Kyerewaa Agyemang indicated:

This is spot on! After almost 2 years in business, I'm beginning to think entrepreneurship is not for me, at least not now (never say never). I believe you can still make an impact in the right company.
