INSPIRATIONAL QUOTES
The Africa Business Summit, co-located with the Africa Sustainability Symposium, is ispired by the following voices from Africa and beyond . . .
Everything is possible. Impossible just takes a little longer
Today is the beginning of the rest of your life. You are the pilot of your life. Lock in your destination; take off to it from where you are
The harder you work, the luckier you get
Entrepreneurship means Africans no longer have to find a job or to be trained to be employees.Instead, it will enable our young people to create jobs, become employers and take charge of their future, instead of letting the future happen to them
In life, you dont get anywhere or do anything you hope to, without some form of sacrifice.
Each of us must have a purpose and an essence to live for; a cause for which we want to be identified for. A cause that you can make a contribution; and if you look, I made my purpose changing lives and livelihoods and am really glad that shaped what Equity Group is today
In today’s world, paradocically, it is the boldest action which is the safest. Remaining where you in a world that is changing so rapidly is, infact, the most dangerous of all spaces to be in
Am guided by these three questions: “What are you fixing?”, “What are you making?’ and “Who are you helping?”
