(I am a founding member of AMKA DADA) It complemented very well with what I was learning about the world and how it operates, (I studied International Relations and Philosophy) so my life was very harmonised. I did not struggle with the balance.
First, not everyone is cut out to be an entrepreneur. That’s the first thing I say. The life of an entrepreneur is for a few people, but everyone can and must adopt the entrepreneur’s mind-set: self-drive, self-accountability, goal-setting and purposeful movement towards attainment of the goal, as well as flexibility and adjusting without compromising the bottom line. Such is the thinking we can all adopt and win in our own individual race in enterprise or otherwise.
What were you doing at 21?
I was learning for the joy of learning at the United States International University- Africa. I was also dealing with my dad’s death the previous year (2003). I was also organising my first ever concert. I was writing songs, training a band, learning choreography and voice training.
