Dear entrepreneurs, Before I say anything, let me say Happy New Month first. Some of you have been reading our newsletter since January. Special shout out to you!😍🤩🤩🤩
This year is not only running to an end, it's going at a breakneck speed. Cos I need an explanation on why my year of fruitfulness just has few months left.😂🤣🤣 For some of us, who might be worried we've not gotten it yet, who says it's your last stop in September? This is not your bus stop oh. September can be your January! I remember a funny experience I had in Lagos a few months ago when I was traveling to a location that I was not familiar with. Because I hate to ask for directions from random strangers, based on past experiences with people who could confuse you more, I boarded a tricycle and told the driver my destination. I wasn't paying much attention, but I noticed that everybody got down at a particular place. Without thinking, I assumed I'd gotten to my destination and got down too. Guys… I had to call a friend and had to trek another distance to where I was supposed to have alighted. I was sooooo pained. But I could blame no one but myself. So dear business owners…. The time is not up yet. You can still get things done! Here’s what I have for you this week:

A) Freemium B) Subscription-based C) Pay-per-use D) Open-source What is the answer? Fun Facts about EntrepreneurshipDid you know that some of the world's most successful entrepreneurs were initially failed entrepreneurs? For example: - Thomas Edison failed over 1,000 times before inventing the light bulb. - Walt Disney was fired from his first job for "lacking creativity." - J.K. Rowling's first Harry Potter book was rejected by 12 publishers. - Steve Jobs was fired from Apple, the company he co-founded. These examples show that failure is not the end, but rather a stepping stone to success. Entrepreneurship is about learning from failures, persevering, and innovating. So, don't be afraid to take risks and try again!
