Do you do things out of your own will or do you do them because someone wants you to?

I might be sweet-talked into starting up an online business where I sell fashion items by my friend who has been into business for some time and knows the nooks and cranny of it, giving me ideas on how to go about just everything but if I don't decide for myself to get the very best from it I will not succeed as a business person since my motivation is my friend who introduced me, what if that person stops pushing or stops motivating me? Do I stop doing the business or will I be able to continue?

It’s up to you to decide whether you want to be a successful business person or not, this can also be applied to everything you do. A person might introduce an easy way of doing business to you like Gotahia but if you are not fully committed to it, you might not be successful at that thing.
Success at any level comes from a personal motivation to be successful no matter what; so when you get started in business and challenges come will you drop everything and say you’re not doing it again or will you keep pushing?

Gotahia is an online wholesale market where online sellers can find the products their customers want and build their network of suppliers. This makes the process of business easier and shorter. With all the stress in Lagos imagine the stress of going to Lagos island or trade fair being reduced to finding what you need on your phone.

Yeah, I've met people who are even studying courses their parents choose for them and end up hating the whole thing. I really believe people should start or continue their business based on personal conviction

exactly the point, its proven that anything you set out to do out of your own decision and determination it turns out to yield positive results
