Dangote is entrepreneurship personified. He is an inspiration for all seeking to shine as entrepreneurs. However, Dangote is in a world of his own... From the resources he got to start, his way with government et al...

With plenty money and solid goodwill, challenges aint a damn thing! Same challenges that sinks most people will not do you no shit if you've got a Dangote standing. With enough money you are blessed! You can start an innocuous thing and run it like a boss and have it flourish with a striking bang. With money, the best advisers, strategists, researchers etc are at your service and with a little wisdom you will continue to prosper.

But, give it to the man! He has managed well, stayed drama/scandal free and keeps pushing for higher heights. He knows how to make good ideas work and keeps going from hero to hero... take out time to relax and chill too because life is short. Thats where to draw inspiration from.

What's tha business?

5th Lesson
Use your Northern connections to bend policies to suit you so that you can create a monopoly and control production.
Meanwhile encourage people to use your "500k investment capital from your uncle" story to deceive youths who do not know that a brand new car then was less than 10k which approximate value today is not less than 5m.

Which means your uncle gave you about N500m today's worth of cash plus free Export/Import licenses to stay ahead
His grandfather must have seen so much potential in him to give him such huge amount of money. You should also know that his siblings or cousins might have be given much as well if not more than he got but he still stands out. I believe he has made his grandfather a very proud man for having faith in his grandson. He has done well, you can give him that at least.

Kunlenoni:
The difference between rich and poor is not the money, it's the way of thinking


He has three children, no wahala of many children bothering his life so he was able to focus

One official wife, he might have others we did not know, but no too much wife bothering him so he was able to focus

I am yet to see him brag about a Gucci belt or watch like Richly poor huspopi

Moral lesson- don't chase money, just chase wisdom to navigate life and get adequately informed and required insight and a big heart that can carry any risk.. I rest my case

Puppi is suffering from ATTENTION DEFICIT SYNDROME.

People will come for you for saying this..

Just like Trump

I don't have anything against these people
But the 'inspirational' stories they sell is revolting

You have to have money to make more money grin

And if you were poor and you hit the jackpot
You were just damn lucky

There are a lot young Nigerians today who are in Dangote's shoes but they spend their time trying to impress people with clothes and cars.

Some boys earn big in Lagos monthly, yet they do not build or plan to float companies that will become household names in future.

They want people to know their names. What does knowing your name add to the betterment of the society ?

So they spend more than half of their earnings buying cars and clothes every year.

Maybe that is their own calling.
