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.

Gender Equity VS Gender Equality

GENDER EQUITY VS GENDER EQUALITY As written in the  first book of the  Bible ,   God  first  made man and later made woman for fear of loneliness. But come to think he took time to make the woman from the man’ s rib means to an extent , a woman possess   so me capabilities  of the man  with the exception  of  fertilization . Women were  initially  created to assist men.  Assisting in a good sense does not solely mean working under someone. An employer can still assist an employee  wit h some needs he/she can not possess. This is to say that women can still assist men from any position  be it at professional level or at home . The first characteristic of a woman is management. W omen are born good plan n ers and managers. Think of a mother who plans her daily activities a week before,  a day before or in the early mornings  before undertaking an  activity. She is capable of taking care of the entire...

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...

Racism versus Growth

  T he problem of racism today is not the fact that a certain group of people are being discriminated against on the basis of their race but rather, it is the fact that people tend to inject racism into everything that there is. It has become the reinterpretation of everything that exists. As long as something does not promote a certain narrative, it is automatically tagged as being racist. It has gotten to a point where the very people who claim to be discriminated against are the ones propagating the worst form of racism. They have forgotten their roots and have lost focus. They have little to no idea why they are fighting. In other words, they are fighting against something which is contrary to what they think it is. In fact, they are now fighting a different fight, one which is not theirs and which is rather counter productive. Whether or not they have noticed the adverse effects of their actions is questionable but one thing remains clear and that is the fact that they love th...
