Dear young self, Never let situations define who you are. You are more than what you are going through. Never let your background limit you from achieving the future you desire. God does not need to consult your past to create your future. paulmandele.me/letter-to-youn…

@GIVENALITY I doubt its viability considering that normal card payments constitute less than 5% of all the digital transactions in Tanzania despite the fact that card payments a zero rated.

@Psiteshio1 Above all, the best innovation a hungry man can achieve is to do something that can feed him. To build & scale tech products takes resources and time thus requiring patient capital which is hard to get in TZ.

@Psiteshio1 If u want to build a scalable tech sln in terms of # of users TZ solve for the btm of the pyramid and your soln should be simple tech and affordable. Bt if its abt money build for the elites charge premium or do B2B. & Complex tech ≠ scalable

Mimi mwaka 2019 nilibuild kampuni kama NALA hapa Bongo na baadae niligundua maji hayawezi kupanda mlima. Startups nyingi za Bongo ziko kwenye kukata PUMZI, Nyingine unaweza kuona kubwa kimajina lakini Zinarun kwenye hasara kubwa Sababu kuuu ni SOKO dogo. Lakini nimeona WhatsApp status inaweza kunipa ugali kitimoto kila siku then nipande huko Delaware nikiwa sina njaa nikabuild NALA2 Kama wewe ni founder na upo Bongo tafuta Kwanza chakula. Then, mambo yote yanawezekana katika yeye atutiaye NGUVU

@GIVENALITY In TZ we can easily get advice around general trading because we have many who have built empires around that but around innovative and disruptive ventures we have a lot to learn from those who have built elsewhere & the gap starts from policy making level.

@GIVENALITY That way getting advice from outside is also important for exposure and experience of what works elsewhere. Though relevance and context is very important.

If you want advice on “what to build in Tanzania” from someone who’s never built in Tanzania, go ahead. You’ll waste time and money because of a motivational speaker. Talk to other entrepreneurs, businesses, etc. You can learn from their lessons. Kariakoo is not Delaware.

@alexayubujoseph @Benji_Fernandes Viability also has many faces. Is the user also the buyer or they are two distinct personas?. Building for the bottom of the pyramid or for the top tier? Are you selling a must have or a by the way product? cost/value ratio? Demand vs supply? Distribution etc

@alexayubujoseph @Benji_Fernandes There are many factors that contribute to the viability of a product/venture. The 1st is who is going to buy? Do they have a serious reason for buying? Do they have purchase power? Do they need it now? Do they have affordable alternatives? Utility?

I don’t think you should talk about businesses people are building not being “big-enough problem to make business sense” if you have never built a big business yourself. Founders are working hard to build. Let them build. The day you build something relevant then you can talk.
GG@GIVENALITY

@Benji_Fernandes In Africa, once you enter an untapped market/industry, you will see why it’s untapped. Most of the things listed it’s either they don’t have a market or aren’t a big-enough problem to make business sense.

Your 9-to-5 job is dying. By 2034, it'll be extinct. That's Reid Hoffman's latest prediction – the founder of LinkedIn who predicted the rise of social media in 1997. Here's what he said next:

It always seem impossible until it's done - Nelson Mandela Having seen Nala journey from early stages of idea validation and early development to where Nala is today, I am proud of Nala's achievements this far. Congrats @Benji_Fernandes & team and cheers to the journey ahead.

The Zone of Genius Creates Stability Your business may be growing, but if you don’t have systems to ensure that you’re getting Deep Work on essential projects, you’re on borrowed time. Build, outsource, automate, and delegate. Repeat until you’re the architect of your life.

At 22, I was $15,000 in debt and depressed. Now, I make $1.23 million every month and travel the world. It’s not because of luck or hard work, it’s because I work every day in my Zone of Genius. Here’s my simple 5-step process to Genius:
