Aliko Dangote who is one of the wealthiest black man who he groom business during his early days and expanded it to the status of today.. Here is the quote of the richest African Man:
“I built a conglomerate
and emerged the richest
black man in the world in
2008 but it didn’t happen
overnight. It took me thirty
years to get to where I am
today. Youths of today
aspire to be like me but they
want to achieve it overnight.
It’s not going to work. To
build a successful business,
you must start small and
dream big. In the journey of
entrepreneurship, tenacity of
purpose is supreme.”
You could easily tell that
hard work and perseverance
go hand in hand with
patience. We often hear
people say patience is worth
it, yet we don’t practice
that. But Dangote did and
look how well it worked out
for him
2 .“I enjoy myself a lot but I
derive more joy in working. I
believe in hard work and one
of my business success
secrets is hard work. It’s
hard to see a youth that will
go to bed by 2am and wake
up by 5am. I don’t rest until
I have achieved something.”
Surprisingly, the richest man
in Africa hardly sleeps, he
only sleeps for 3 hours and
works exceedingly hard
every other hour to stay in
business. Whether or not
you are a big business man,
Dangote says you should
endeavor to work as hard as
possible to attain a new aim
with each day that comes by
and not to go to bed until
you have achieved that aim.
3 . “After my death, I want to
be remembered as Africa’s
greatest industrialist.”
The big question here is,
what will people remember
you for after you are gone
and what do you want to be
remembered for when you
finally die? Ponder on this
question and work towards
your answer because that
was what Dangote did and
today he has found the
answer to that question
.
4 . “If you don’t have
ambition, you should not be
alive”.
Of course great minds have
purposes, he is saying you
need not to have wishes all
the time, have a purpose
instead. After all, if wishes
were horses, beggars would
ride. it is purpose that
drives you towards the
ambition you have chosen
and it keeps you and your
actions in check. Purpose
makes sure that you don’t
go astray and even when
you do, it pulls you back.
5 . “Every morning when I
wake up, I make up my mind
to solve as many problems
as possible before retiring
home.” This fifth quote says
you shouldn’t rest any day
you don’t solve at least one
problem. If you follow this
quote, you will not just be a
good entrepreneur, you will
become a problem solver
and Nigeria does not
overlook Problem solvers so
you will soon be known
nationwide and that will
only be the beginning of
your sky.
