An entrepreneur has returned to the corporate world after facing financial challenges in her business.

After six months of leaving her formal job to venture into entrepreneurship, the lady made a meagre amount, which made her rethink her decision.

In a Facebook post, a friend of the lady said she made a profit of GH¢580 only during her six months as an entrepreneur.

However, according to Jennifer-Nicole Kofie, her friend initially did not feel it because she was living off her savings. But after six months, the savings dwindled, and the business currently cannot cater to all her needs.
