When we preach the gospel of entrepreneurship. People are like. “not everyone can be an entrepreneur which is true”

But the way the economy is we do not have a choice.

 Do you really think all the Mwenye’s when they were young, they wanted to own Fabric shops?

  Some wanted to be doctors, lawyers some graduated never got jobs that is how they started working in shops and owning them. It is not their passion it is not what they want but it is what they need #survival

So, you going to tell a 45-year-old man who has been retrenched and has 4 babies depending on him to get a job? Get a job where? After 35 it is almost impossible to get a job.

That person must hustle whether he likes it or not. It is no longer about what we like or do not like it is about survival.

So when you walk across the street you should be like “maybe if I could sell chicken dust like that boy I could make enough to survive, If I can sell food like that woman I can survive, If I can open my own car wash I can survive”

In Ghana poverty kills people more than anything. Even here some people will die of hunger waiting for the government to provide 1 million jobs that might never even come.

Luther King said “If you haven’t found anything your willing to die for your not fit enough to live”

Business is hard life in general is hard even if you are not into business. It is the survival of the fittest. Some of the problems we face in life even money cannot solve them.

You need to be brave to survive this earth.

Otherwise depression will kill you on the spot.
