Being Business Minded (part 1) By Strive Masiyiwa by opportuniti(m): 4:26pm On Jan 09, 2015 |
One of the fastest growing businesses in the world today is a company called Uber. For those who do not know what Uber is; it is essentially a Mobile App (a computer program, using a cell phone), which makes it possible for you to call a "taxi". Uber does not own any taxis or cars of its own. The App sends a message (similar to an SMS), to the nearest registered but independent Uber driver, within your vicinity. The car will usually arrive at your location, within 5 minutes. Whilst using one of these services, the owner of the car, proudly told me that he was making a lot of money, as the service brings him customers. Uber take a commission, and also do the billing. All he has to do is turn up. Then the driver, added this: "Uber has no assets, just some computer servers." Seeing that he was a smart entrepreneur, I then engaged him in a wider conversation, about business: I asked him so many questions, that he finally asked me, "are you planning to set up a similar business, in Africa?" "Not really.... I'm just "BUSINESS MINDED"; I make it my business, to see the business side of any business." I then surprised him by telling him what I already knew about Uber. For instance I told him, that Uber, is now valued at more than $40bn. click here to continue reading: http://opportuniti.org/being-business-minded-part-1-by-strive-masiyiwa/
