Have you always known you’d venture into entrepreneurship? What was the journey like when you started?

Growing up, I always wanted to be an ambassador for a reputable organisation, so turning out to be a serial entrepreneur still amazes me. My journey as a start-up founder wasn’t pleasing at all, and this was because I had no knowledge of entrepreneurship and its required skills.

What are the top 3 lessons you’ve learned so far as an entrepreneur?

1. Entrepreneurship is not for the weak. You must be courageous enough to face any type of challenge.

2. Effective communication is the foundation of any successful business.

3. Evolve: This will keep your business on the map. Never stop striving to make your business the best it can be.

What would you say to anyone who is just about to venture into entrepreneurship or start a business?

Get the necessary knowledge before starting any business, even if you are certain that God wants you to do so.

Create your own niche. This is especially important for marketing and advertising what you do.

Learn to always put God first. A successful business cannot exist without God. This rule will come in handy when you’re feeling down.

How would you advise one to stay true to their faith and continue to shine the light of Jesus, even in the business or career space?

Make sure that what you want to do aligns with what God wants for you.

Know the dos and don’ts of your business, as instructed by God.

Do not compromise your standards for money. Only God gives lasting wealth.

Be honest, even with the little things.
