The Fifth Industrial Revolution And How African Businesses Can Get Ready For It.
Changes and disruptions have become a part of our lives so much that we barely bat an eyelid anymore. We have learned to adapt and move on. If nothing has taught us to do that, the COVID pandemic has ensured that we “wise up” and remain ready for every and any unplanned and unforeseen events. However, change is as old as man himself and will continue to be a part of humanity’s existence. Africa has so far been playing catch up when it comes to embracing change and creating innovation, and this h

The popular maxim although common, “Do it afraid”, might not be the kind of mantra you want to constantly sing to yourself as an entrepreneur who is just starting out or even as an old hand at the game who is trying to make some high-risk decisions. Yes, there are lots of risks associated with starting and growing a business, all of which can inspire fear and anxiety.

Business is Business — Keep Track
When it comes to measuring the scale of your business, small is not actually small. I repeat SMALL IS NOT SMALL. Here are 3 costly assumptions you might be making as a ‘small’ business:
• We are too busy building, documentation and record-keeping can come when we become big.
• All businesses function alike especially if they are in the same industry
• Our initial strategy is perfect, we just need to stay loyal to it
Everything stems from your belief that “we are just 1 or 2 on our team”. This m

“Sir, erm…I have an idea of how we can get more clients,” Ally said shyly. (This was a welcoming initiative because the company has been experiencing some financial set-backs and he knew that any brilliant idea was a good addition to the table of ideas they already have on the ground).

How Entrepreneurs Can Reduce Stress.
Whether as a solopreneur or manager of a well-staffed team, running a business can often prove tedious and overwhelming. I’ve found myself at this junction countless times.
It often seems like the tasks are endless: Emails to reply, teams to organize, meetings to attend, clients who want your attention, queries to issues and it almost leaves no time for even lunch. At the end of the workday, exhaustion makes you hit the pillow only to rinse and repeat it all on the next day.
