Boredom leads many students to endless scrolling, naps, or hanging out with friends. Aladedoye Oluwatobi Daniel is one of the few who utilize their boring moments for something other than leisure. For him, boredom became the beginning of a business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The year three law student of Afe Babalola University<\/a>, Ado Ekiti, is the founder of Tee\u2019s Treats, a student-run food brand that supplies desserts and meals to students. What started as a way to stay busy slowly turned into a business meeting a need on campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Motivation for Oluwatobi<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Oluwatobi did not begin with a big business plan or dreams of becoming an entrepreneur. Instead, he simply wanted something meaningful to do with his time. Along the way, he noticed a gap around him. Students often struggled to find good cakes and desserts for birthdays, celebrations, picnics, and small gatherings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He noted that \u201cthe fact that students didn\u2019t have access to good cakes for celebrations, picnics, birthdays, etc.\u201d was what pushed him to take the idea seriously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Struggle Between Building Tee\u2019s Treats and Studying Law<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Like many student entrepreneurs, running a business while staying on top of school has not been easy. As a law student, Oluwatobi says one of his biggest struggles has been balancing academic work, business demands, and personal responsibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond time management, there is also the pressure and uncertainty that comes with running a business as a student. Sales can be unpredictable, responsibilities pile up quickly, and there is always the risk that things may not work out as planned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oluwatobi\u2019s Strategy for Balance\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Oluwatobi believes in the power of support. To him, support has made a major difference. This is because having a strong support system<\/a> has helped him manage both school and business, especially during difficult periods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interestingly, Daniel says there has not been one major breakthrough moment that suddenly made him feel like the business had fully \u201cmade it.\u201d Instead, his journey has been shaped by learning and steady effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One lesson stands out for him: entrepreneurship is harder than it looks. \u201cRunning a business isn\u2019t easy at all,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For students thinking of starting something of their own, Daniel advises them to think carefully before jumping in. In his view, passion is important, but understanding the commitment, pressure, and responsibility that come with business matters just as much.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
