My most valuable lesson as an Entrepreneur
I was born in a small town called Kumba in a country called Cameroon, found in the armpit of the African continent. I must say that life there was very different from the life one lives over here in the west.
Despite the difference in the way of life, I took note that there was something common to the way young people in both the west and Cameroon lived their lives. They were constantly seeking ways to improve their lives. The drive to make the most out of life forced some of us to step out and become entrepreneurs.
Entrepreneurs solve problems; to that effect, if you truly have to become an entrepreneur, you have to be solving a problem plaguing your community. bearing in mind that depression was claiming so many lives in my nation, I sought out to provide lasting solutions to those who suffered from that problem in the nation.
My greatest error
After five months of providing lasting solutions to over one hundred people, I realized that I was making one very big mistake. many entrepreneurs and startups make these same errors. An error that if ignored will eat you up and all that you are trying to build.
