I did a post about lessons i learnt from a hang-out with great some great entrepreneurs. I learnt alot from them, here is a summary of the post.

I was at an entrepreneur’s hangout the other day. It was a very interactive section. Our coach, Akinwunmi Akinola was talking about generating and developing grand ideas. At some point the meeting became excitingly heated. We were all dishing out factors that hinders business start-ups, especially in Nigeria. We had people giving hindrances and those dropping solutions. I was mind blown with the passion I saw. Here are some lessons I got from the 2 hours hangout.
