How
do you start a business? How do you go about doing this?
I
had pondered over this about 15 years ago. Before that, I had no business acumen
and savvy, other than running other people’s business as a paid staff. I sold
club memberships, advertisement space, and sports equipment. I enjoyed these
opportunities for it fostered a confidence for creating business relationships.
I learnt earlier on, that commercial enterprises relied on educating others in
the process and to be a beacon of optimism and hopefulness.
