Aliko Dangote undoubted is the richest man in Africa and the entire black race.
5 of the principles that set him apart are as follows:
Hard Work - Not much is needed to be said about this if you are not ready to work hard then you should not be thinking of becoming wealthy.In his words"I enjoy myself a lot but i derive more joy in working.I believe in hard work and one of my business success secret is hard work.It's hard to see a youth that will go to bed at 2am and wake up by 5am.I don't rest until i achieve something."
Solving Problems:He says“Every morning when I wake up, I make up my mind to solve as many problems, before retiring home.”
Ambition:Is the driver of achievement,suffice to say one without ambition is dead.This is also Aliko Dangote's view,he says"If you don't have ambition you shouldn't be alive."
Purpose:I think it is very crucial for everyone to know or find out the purpose of his/her existence, in other words.What would i love to be remembered for.Aliko Dangote says "After my death i want to be remembered as Africa's greatest industrialist"What about you?
Steady Growth:Wealthy grows,it does not happens overnight so you must learn to be persistent and be focused . "I build a conglomerate and emerged the richest black man in the world in 2008 but it didn't happen overnight.It took me thirty years to get to where i am today.Youths of today want to be like me but they want to achieve it overnight,it is not going to work.To build a successful business, you must start small and dream big.In the journey of entrepreneurship tenacity of purpose is supreme."Aliko Dangote (Aliko Dangote talks to AL Jazeera.Enjoy viewing)
