They’ve shaped me into who I am today and really, it is part of life. I do however, learn from them as I have no doubt that I will still make more mistakes in the future. For the things I wasn’t able to do – I can still do them today, it is never late to start all over. E:What would you say to someone who wants to start a business but feels stuck, scared and unsure of what to do? EA: Get to know yourself. Know both your strengths and weaknesses. It is important. Business is profitable but not everyone is fit for business. You need to know what you are good at to maximize on your strength and see how you can work with other people to complement what you lack. And if you are not good at business and you still want to venture in it, partner with someone who is already in business and learn in the process. Starting a business isn’t as hard as people make it out to be but it is risky to maintain it. God gave us all gifts, take advantage of yours. You never know how far you will go until you take the risk. So, go for it! E: What is the secret to your success. EA: I put God before everything else. Also perseverance and hard work. E: In your view, how important is having a positive attitude EA: A positive attitude is everything. It is what will determine your success or failure. I have met hardworking people who do their best but their mentality limits them. Just like I have met people who do their best and they achieve more because of their mentality. And even when you speak with them, the words they use, the belief they have and the passion in their eyes make you believe in them too. A positive attitude, I repeat , is everything.
