Ever wondered why more people don’t attend meet-ups and networking events? Often, it’s simply a matter of not knowing about them—many meet-ups fly under the radar, especially for budding entrepreneurs who are pretty busy putting their all into their business. Then there's imposter syndrome. So many aspiring entrepreneurs feel they don’t "belong" in these spaces or think they're not experienced enough to contribute. But don’t let yourself fall into the trap of either! In fact, why not kickstart your networking by attending our upcoming Impact Hackers meetup - no experience needed! When? 7th November, 6 to 8 p.m. Where? Faro Avenida Business Center (And watch the video to find out why it’s the perfect event to to get you started!) #BusinessNetworking #StartupCommunity #AlgarveEntrepreneurs

Dr. Augustine Onwumere is such a powerhouse of business knowledge. This man single-handedly transformed the Real-Estate industry in Nigeria. When you see people ask you to pay a deposit and spread the rest over a period of time to buy a property, this is the person that started it in Nigeria. Not only that, he has such a fantastic model of running business through network marketing that blows my mind all the time. Haven't you wondered how come there is a PWAN Homes branch almost everywhere you go? It's because he has mastered how to get people to make money for him in several areas while they also make money for themselves. He shared some of these secrets with us at the Biblical Billionaire Bootcamp in May and I thought, wow.. I need this man to share this with more of my people. Thank God he agreed to be with us at The Biblical Billionaire Conference in October this year. People paid N250k to learn this from him in May, now you just have to pay N38K for not just him but all the other speakers coming for the conference. This is an opportunity you don't want to miss. An opportunity to hear the secrets of success from the mouths of the big men themselves. This year's conference, somehow, though unplanned, we have many speakers who revolutionized their industries. Clearly, God wants to raise some industry disruptors. Don't miss it for anything. Click Selar.co/BBConference2024 to get your ticket now. This kind of Conference only comes up once in a lifetime.

From A Pro To A Thought Leader Series - 14. How LinkedIn Groups Helped Mbali Become a Thought Leader Mbali, a young and eager entrepreneur from Johannesburg, felt lost in the vast online jungle of LinkedIn. She'd post interesting articles, but they got swallowed by the endless feed. Discouraged, she felt like a lone springbok wandering the plains, unseen and unheard. One day, a wise old sangoma named Thandiwe noticed Mbali's struggle. "Child," Thandiwe said kindly, "there's strength in numbers. Look for the watering holes where your kind gather." Intrigued, Mbali searched for LinkedIn groups focused on entrepreneurship. She found a vibrant group called "Lionesses of Business," filled with women like her, sharing ideas and experiences. Mbali started small, commenting thoughtfully on other posts, just like a curious cub learning from the pride. Soon, Mbali felt confident enough to share her own experiences. She posted an article about overcoming challenges as a young entrepreneur. The response was amazing! Other Lionesses offered advice and support, just like a helpful elephant sharing its wisdom. Mbali realized LinkedIn groups weren't just about information, they were about building connections. Inspired, Mbali even started her own group for young entrepreneurs in South Africa, naming it "Building Baobab Trees." She set clear guidelines, like the rules of a peaceful elephant herd, to keep discussions friendly and productive. Just like Mbali, you too can transform from a lone traveler to a connected thought leader! LinkedIn groups offer a powerful platform to: ✔️Find Your Tribe: Connect with like-minded professionals in your field. ✔️ Share Your Wisdom: Become a valuable resource by contributing insightful content. ✔️Learn from Others: Grow your knowledge by engaging in meaningful discussions. ✔️ Build Your Reputation: Establish yourself as a trusted voice in your industry. Ready to join the conversation and elevate your profile? Let's find your perfect watering hole! #LinkedInLioness #ThoughtLeader #GrowYourNetwork #GroupPower

Instead of categorizing everybody as a threat, carefully identify the ones you can collaborate and partner with, that’s another smart way to thrive as a business owner.

🌍 Collaboration and shared resources are essential for small businesses in Africa. With rising costs and challenging economic policies, thriving as a small business requires resource management and strategic partnerships. 💡 Take, for example, a photographer and a makeup artist. Instead of paying separate rents and fuel costs, they can collaborate and share resources. A customer coming for a photo shoot is likely to want makeup done at the studio, and a makeup client might opt for a few professional photos. 📸💄 This type of collaboration not only saves costs but also creates opportunities for mutual growth. Small businesses must leverage every opportunity to succeed. As Isimeme Whyte brilliantly highlighted in this video, working together is the way forward. Thank you, Isimene, for your insightful perspective! 🙌✨

The Power of Visibility and Availability in Connecting Africa Today, I had the privilege of diving deep into the future of entrepreneurship in Africa at the Entrepreneurship Organization Ignite event in Johannesburg. Among the many voices that resonated with wisdom and insight, Dr. Mzamo, CMO of Google Africa, stood out with a message so potent yet so elegantly simple, it felt like a revelation. 🌍 Connecting Africa🌍 - this isn't just a phrase; it's our mission. As entrepreneurs, we are the architects of the future. Dr. Mzamo shared his team's behavior change research, revealing the critical role of visibility and availability. It's not just about being seen; it's about being present and accessible. This, my friends, is the golden key to conversions, to impact, to truly connecting with our communities and beyond. And here's a nugget of gold that struck me deeply: businesses, our businesses, hold more trust among people than political or religious institutions. Pause and let that sink in. In a world of flux, where trust is a currency, we, as entrepreneurs, wield incredible power and responsibility. This isn't just about market dynamics or strategies. It's about trust. It's about how we, as businesses, can be beacons of reliability and integrity in our communities. The implication? We have an unparalleled opportunity to drive positive change, to shape societies, and to uplift economies across Africa. The Magic of Trust- With this trust comes an immense opportunity. An opportunity to not only grow our enterprises but to contribute to a larger narrative of progress, unity, and empowerment across the continent. So, here's my call to action to you, my fellow entrepreneurs and leaders: Let's harness the power of our visibility and availability. Let's be more than businesses; let's be trusted partners in the journey towards a connected, empowered Africa. Together, we can transform our societies. Together, we can ignite the promise of Africa.
