Preface by Davies Iyiegbu
“In business and to succeed in life, you will need to make hard decisions and painstakingly back those decisions. Becoming a business founder or an executive is hard, and building one as a foreigner is even harder”Most of the time, the mindset of a foreign entrepreneur is preoccupied with perfecting the art of being successful, attending conferences, reading books, finding all sorts of inspirational quotes that drive up their ego to be self-employed. They are easily swayed by the “become your own boss” tagline which only scratch the surface of how hard it is to build a business abroad. There is a need to tell the real entrepreneurship stories for young entrepreneurs to understand the real struggles and walk their path in reality and not in fantasies. This enables the society to have more long-lasting economic growth through jobs and wealth creation.

There is not perfect model
It is a result of hardwork and careful planning
As an entrepreneur, you need to be aware of what your success depends on and be able to navigate your path by controlling and managing those dependencies. Because, in the unwritten rules of success, there is no secret to success, neither is there that one path to being successful.
Risk Taking
Life is the consequence of a series of choices you make. If you make good choices, you won’t have a bad experience.
Adaptability
Take responsibility for your challenges and figure out new strategies to solve your problems or adapt to your unique situation.
Work-life balance
Time management skill is a beneficial attribute that an entrepreneur should have if you intend to have a healthy life and work balance.
