Building businesses in Zambia. Documenting the process in public.

@99Majik Slow progress compounds over time.

Slow and steady building is ALWAYS better than quick success. Keep grinding ⏳

@Bloke_Baz Funny how life has a way of bringing things back around.

The way you treat people will always come back to you. Every. Single. Time.

@AccentInvesting Peace of mind is underrated.

Financial peace is better than material possessions.

@realelite_25 True. Most of the time it’s fear or doubt holding us back.

Most limits are self-made.

@thejustinwelsh This is a good exercise, most of us rarely challenge our own beliefs.

Take a position you feel strongly about, and ask yourself: "What if the opposite were true?" Find someone who believes that and ask them to explain why. You might not change your mind, but you'll be able to appreciate different viewpoints more easily.

@aliByteCode Learning this in real time, building the audience is half the work.

The fastest way to kill your startup: wait until launch to start building an audience

@illyvanilly27 I get this. Sometimes you just need to see it once for your brain to accept that it’s real.

I no longer question if anything is possible. I have seen it. I know. It is.

@mskoriwilson I used to think success was about wanting it badly. Now I realize it’s about structure and daily execution. The days you don’t feel like it are usually the ones that matter the most.

If you want it bad enough, you won't need to make excuses. You'll make time.

If you’re interested in the guides (importing, suppliers, starting small businesses), everything is now here: Chikakulabanda.com Telegram community is also open for questions.

Build in public update (Day 17) The past week I focused more on @hvgadgets, so the PDF business slowed down a bit. But progress so far: • Telegram community: 178 members • Started: 4 March One issue I discovered: Most of my old content still links to Selar, while the new funnel runs on Chikakulabanda.com. So leads are still going to the old link instead of entering the automated email funnel. The next step is simple: Push the new link everywhere. This is how building in public works, you discover problems while building.

@richsongocrazy Accountability forces you to look at your own decisions.

When you keep religion one side and hold yourself accountable, you will begin to see life from a different perspective.

@realelite_25 I didn’t have a mentor starting out. Learned most things through mistakes. Now I’m actually trying to find one.

Find a mentor. Learn from the best. Save years of time.

@realelite_25 Actions compound over time.

Life does not give you what you want. It gives you what you deserve based on your actions.

@craigzLiszt The real skill is knowing what to ask the AI.

if you vibe code well, no one will ever know your product was vibe coded

@realelite_25 Most people reverse this when they start making money.

3 Rules of Smart Spending: - Needs before wants - Value over brand - Future over now

@Praiseakinlami AI can increase the perceived value, but the real driver is still the outcome people want.

A simple way to improve your course value is to simply start adding "AI skills" to your bundle. That is going to improve the offer and help you get better conversion rates. Agree?

@jxtsummer USDT funding the lifestyle.

@OneJKMolina Turning real experience into tools people can use is the real leverage.

Hi. I built 3 companies to over $1 million a year through social media. I'm going to put everything I learned into an AI called Cashie. And she's going to make people a lot of money.

@LankyObserver Corporate teaches structure. Entrepreneurship teaches resilience.

Highly recommend this. Worked 8 years in Corporate before taking the plunge. You learn how institutions work, how to build teams, and a culture. More importantly, you see the business side of a business. All invaluable.

Entrepreneurship isn’t just about the big wins. Sometimes it’s just surviving the slow weeks.
