__What will you do to get hold of an opportunity?
By strive masiyiwa
Everything you need to know about starting or pivoting an existing business for AI, I have taught you here already. The material is here; I have shared it with you over the years here like a guidebook... Everything you need as an entrepreneur to solve some truly extraordinary challenges and possibly even become a billionaire in the process.

This opportunity is bigger than what we saw with mobile phones, social media platforms, or even all the oil in Nigeria! 

Everything you need to know about the steps you need to take; the methodology; the playbook, even to scale and raise capital, I tried to teach you here [almost] weekly... for about eight whole years, almost nine. [Did you know it's now been just over 10 years since my very first post?]

Entrepreneurs cannot be spoon-fed. They are self-starters. All they need is just the sniff of an opportunity and they are gone!

If you have to ask me what book I recommend then you are not able to be a successful entrepreneur because you are asking me something you can do for yourself!

The other day something happened whilst I was in America that made me think of an entrepreneur called Estée Lauder, the founder of one of the greatest companies in the world. I remembered how she embarked on a bus journey across America whilst nursing a newborn baby so that she could close a deal!

And what about you, what will you do to get a hold of an opportunity? Do you think it will be given to you on a platter? No, never! 

I had to stop teaching here every week because I was in danger of repeating the same principles. I was not looking to have millions of followers, or to be a so-called “influencer”; what I wanted was a handful of determined young people who would transform Africa; that is all it takes! And it's happening...

The billionaires in progress who passed through this platform are already on the move, and they know themselves!

Don’t waste time! Go for it!

AI will create $30Tn dollars of global GDP in the next 7 years alone! What is your share? I know mine!

Stop chasing rabbits! It’s time to be a #Buffalo Hunter! [and you know I don't mean this literally, I am not a hunter!!]

AI is a herd of #Buffalo as far as the eye can see!

Do you see it?

Take care of yourself__"The first wealth is health".

By Strive Masiyiwa  A few weeks ago I went to the doctor. I will tell you what he said about my health at the end, but first read this: Twenty years ago, I arranged to meet a well-known British international businessman who invested a lot in Africa at the time. We agreed to meet for dinner at a leading hotel in London.  After a good meeting, we started to walk out of the restaurant when he suddenly collapsed in the lobby. There was total pandemonium as they rushed to get medical assistance. Being London, an ambulance arrived in minutes. I jumped in the back with him as paramedics wrestled to keep him alive. He had had a heart attack and had to have triple bypass heart surgery. Sadly he died a few weeks later. He hadn't been sick and his sudden death surprised everyone. And yet as I reflected on it, and later discussed it with a doctor friend who knew him, I realized he was very laid back about his health despite having a hectic business life. Even during our dinner...
