ABOUT THE SHOW🎬
"HOW THEY DID IT" a show that tells the authentic story of African businesses whilst drawing lessons for upcoming entrepreneurs.
The Challenge:
There is a growing demand to tell our stories. Most of the stories told online are of foreign businesses, and where you find an African story, it is most likely a surface-level interview that aims mostly to motivate and not necessarily teach.
This is the unique value of this show:
In addition to it being designed to educate, motivate, and inspire, which is truthfully a key factor in boosting self-confidence, we will be emphasizing key lessons from the video interviews.

As for all the other nuggets he dropped, my most profound was “not using your employer’s time and resources to grow you business and be willing to serve and while at it, do it he very best

Wow this was an insightful episode👏. Several parts of his story stood out for me...how he got promoted from being a messenger was because of his work ethic, he performed in record time when someone was unavailable. That was an opportunity for growth and he took it and did it well.. his attitude to failure...failure is not the end, if one decides to get back up. Money doesn't change the true character of a person, it amplifies it ... that's why even though he came from a poor background, his first $1m didn't turn him into an obnoxious person. Resilience, grit, diligence and so much more. Thank you for this series Trish.. looking forward to other episodes.
