REASONS MOST ASPIRING ENTREPRENEURS QUIT WITHOUT EVEN STARTING



Reasons most aspiring entrepreneurs give up without even starting.



✔️I’m not ready yet, I need more time to become perfect. 

Like mark Zuckerberg will often say « ideas don’t come out fully formed, they only become better as you work on them. » you just have to get started.


✔️ I need capital to start.

Many disruptive and innovative ideas didn’t start with a budget. They started by solving problems and with the little they had. And again if you know what is good for you, «Never start a business with borrowed money as your seed capital» by Mahatma Lenjval. 


✔️ I’m scared because people don’t understand me and what I’m trying to do.

For the record «If you really want to be understood, then Entrepreneurship isn’t the best route for you.» by Vusi Thembekwayo. Go and become a pastor or something else.


✔️ I’m afraid to fail.

In Entrepreneurship failure is not an option, it is like a fuel on fire, Critique is a motivating factor. The first mistake of an Entrepreneurs is to think you can avoid mistakes. Like Deshuana Babara would say « Do not fear failure but please be terrified of regrets». 


Telling us No, is like adding fuel on fire. When we fail we learn and progress, when we’re criticized, we look at the standards and follow our guts. Entrepreneurs never ever give up.


Happy labour day To all Africans.

A Stereotype About Cameroon: Africa-In-Miniature

  My country Cameroon, as well put on https://www.everyculture.com/Bo-Co/Cameroon.html, has diverse cultural, religious, and political traditions as well as ethnic variety. English and French are her official languages, a heritage of her colonial past as both a colony of the United Kingdom and France from 1916 to 1960. This means two of the most popular languages in the world are used in Cameroon. The above factors and many more, together with her location usually described as “The Armpit of Africa”, sparked a popular stereotype mainly by tourist literature, her being considered “Africa in miniature”. Asserting that she offers all the diversity of Africa, in climate, culture, and geography, within its borders. Some might question this, but based on my experiences and research, I think it might be safe to agree so. Well, let us find out.   In the context of language, not only do her inhabitants speak both English and French, regarded as some of the most popular languages in...

A Game Changer: The YYAS Program

            I'm Mbun Tangwe Ryan. An 18-year old final year high school student in and from Cameroon. If you're like me then you know that Education is a human right that too few people (especially us Africans) enjoy. I believe we as Africans have the power to change that narrative. Education is classified into Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary (university and beyond) education.     Many African students have what it takes to access the tertiary education they desire and deserve, but still, many of us still find ourselves stranded in that area because we lack the necessary information we need to get us where we dream to be. We lack knowledge on the world of work, education options, and we need career guidance.   The Yale Young African Scholars (YYAS) program was born to solve such issues and many more.  It is a cost-free intensive academic enrichment and leadership program designed for African secondary school students...

THE POWER OF YOUTHFULNESS

I am writing this article at the age of 27yrs old and in my youthful age.  I remember when I was traversing to this stage of my life (from adolescence to adult), I will dream of fancy things like, -          To one day fry a tray full of eggs and slice it into pieces like a cake. -          To play football and be a superstar like Samuel Eto’o of Cameroon. -          To become a well-known Genetic engineer and add value to humanity. -          To party every day and make merry with friends. -          Etc. Funny enough, as I am writing to you now, -          I am undergoing a transformation to become a vegetarian, -          I don’t have the patience to sit for 90 minutes and watch football t...
