Popular comedian, Ayo Makun, also known as AY of ‘AY Live’, has opened up about his failed attempt at some businesses.
The comedian, in an interview on Instagram Live, talked about how he ventured into a nightclub business with the hope of people patronizing him because he is a celebrity.
He said, “I once entered a business that I did not understand. I am very open, there is nothing to hide. There was a time I opened a nightclub. I opened a nightclub with the thought that ‘My name is AY’, I do shows at Eko Hotel, six thousand people attend.
“If I do my show in Abuja, thousands of people will also come. So I asked myself if I open a beer parlour, will I not be able to gather two hundred people in a weekend? I did not understand that it’s a different calling.
“That I can gather six thousand people at Eko Hotel does not mean I have the capacity to gather two hundred people on a Friday night.”
AY went further to talk about lessons learnt in the process and how he was able to forge ahead even with the loss.
“Because I did not understand how the Friday night business works, it was a fundamental failure; money was lost.
“What is the message here? I also have two of my friends who were solid in the nightlife business. They decided to have a show at Eko Hotel. It was a disaster.
“The message here is for everyone to know their strength. Know where you can function, know what you can handle,” he said.
