eUniverse editor’s note

Resilience Editor| Edify Tagwirei

This was supposed to be an independence celebration edition but in practice time consumed efforts and well you know the rest. I figured what could be a better way to celebrate independence than just sharing what we are doing with it, freedom to speak, gender based violence, suicide, making history, inspiring others through art, feels human to me. Beautiful and bad, a changing world where everyone is adjusting, a new norm, its a lot to take in but just know you are not alone.

The Future Looks Bright.

Written by | Edify Tagwirei

ot much fashion designers are inspired by our heritage or fashion perspective, you know prints, and something that’s written home all over it. TMB XCLSV is just one of a few who embraces Africa, making one of a kind pieces making their fashion house unique and different. The brand name comes from the Designer’ name (Taonga Mapfuwa Bradley) TMB, and is driven by just two people which are Tinashe Muzondo the manager and Taonga Bradley Mapfuwa the Designer. Taonga Mapfuwa was inspired by Cynthia Mabande who is his sister’s friend. “She is a fashion designer with a brand name called Pleroo Clothing, since then i started thinking of having my own clothing brand” .TMB XCLSV is located in Kuwadzana Extension Harare at house number 16995.

“My aim is to be the best fashion designer of all times and build one of a kind fashion house in Zimbabwe”. “By the year 2023 I am aiming to register my brand at the register of companies creating jobs for the youths in Zimbabwe, hence

reducing unemployment rate in Zimbabwe”.

The African prints are unique, and it is coming with a new view into the fashion world to an extend that the western are adopting our African wear designs. Lack of support from fellow Africans, is mostly the reason for the downfall of many black owned businesses and lack of creativity by designers but brands like TMB took the matter into their hands, the outcome is unique fashion pieces that turn heads in the streets. TMB XCLSV FASHIONS gives room for consumers to choose thier designs of choice, after that they make the products of higher standards, yes exclusive right.

Platforms like shows, events, workshops are some of the changes which needs to be looked into. By hosting such events we expose talent hence giving opportunities to upcoming designers, and a way of supporting one another by sharing ideas and more. Most of our winter wear is all about wearing bomber jackets or layering, but TMB XCLSV have a twist in trends to give you unique and exclusive style, make sure to check out their Ankara collection (WinterJackets and African Suits for Men).

Wardrobe Confusion

Written by | Sir_CooperLee

A

s we journey into the cold season, do not let coldness freeze your fashion style, let the cool breeze flow within you. It being winter does not mean you have lost your fashion style, infect let the winter boost your fashion style. Winter can be one of the most challenging seasons to consistently wear winter outfits that are both weather appropriate and figure flattering. When the primary motivation is keeping warm while facing dreary days, the temptation is there to simply throw on as many pieces as possible and get out the door. However, putting together chic winter looks does not have to be a challenge. ⃣

Winter Wear tips.

Written by | Edify Tagwirei

W

inter is about wearing different shades of the same colour so it shouldn’t be that hard to cook something nice . Winter is about finding comfort and warmth in what you will be wearing by considering material wise and your style in check. Winter is the feeling before a cup of tea, before you wear that jacket, before you get to smush with bae, yeah that feeling which gives you goosebumps.

tip01.

tip03.

Jackets protect us from cold by traping the heat coming out of our body, yes they use that heat to warm you up same as blankets, simple science. The internal material of your trend should have no holes to very little ones so they can trap as much heat.

Layering is a most common winter practice but, it doesn’t have to be out of style, wear open jackets (zip/button jackets), hoodie inside, t-shirt (something cotton). I mostly dig drake’s winter appproach, poll neck and a suit jacket finish on the outside, simple right.

tip02.

Colour plays a big role, yes by wearing black you will feel much warm than any other colour, much so most winter is in dark colours. This is in proven believe that dark colours reflect back heat hence it produces a bounce effect by trapping heat so it doesn’t escape.

10 |@euniverse_mag

tip04.

Jeans, something we avoid a lot during winter, poor material against cold, so track pants are a good replacement, fleece like inside with a polyester feel material on the outside, perfect for winter.

e are constantly being reminded of how unique we are style wise and even all details you, speaks you loudly. Volume is set by eliminating the ordinary, and while we are all different being you is extraordinary. We are likely to get inspired by icons like Beyoncé, Rihanna, Kardashians etc., as they display their phenomenal perspective to fashion. Big Artists are used in brand promotion because they are likely to sparkle a trend, within that phase of creating tomorrow’s headlines; uniqueness is invested in the art to make it stand out. While in accord with latest trends, people will imitate the source and those who will stand out are the ones who will reimagine the style differently. ⃣

Baftas 2021 Film Awards Red Carpet.

T

he British Academy Film Awards— better known as the BAFTAs—begin, honoring excellence in British and international film over the past year. As one of the final events in the awards season calendar, the ceremony was held across two nights at the Royal Albert Hall in London for the first time in its history, with the technical prizes and the more headline-grabbing awards being handed out.

On the fashion front, the BAFTAs are known for a more risk-taking red carpet in keeping with its home city’s renegade approach to style. This year’s ceremony took place with no live audience, all the looks were beamed remotely—and with some of Hollywood’s most stylish young talent, including Riz Ahmed, Vanessa Kirby, Leslie Odom Jr., and Daniel Kaluuya, up for gongs, when it comes to fashion moments, you can expect the unexpected.

Read Also: A brief tribute was paid to the 99-yearold Prince Philip, BAFTA’s first president, who died before the winners were announced. Chloe Zhao’s “Nomadland” dominated at the BAFTA Film Awards, after winning four prizes, including best film. The Searchlight-produced movie also won for lead actress, cinematography, and director, putting it well ahead of all other films. ⃣

Male Hygiene Written by | Towanda Majachani and

@Mangylee

M

en tend not to look after themselves properly for most of their time they will be focusing on finding a means to survive therefore for one to pay particular attention to how they look is always far from thought. However we have heard a lot of complaints from various women about their men always scruffy and smelly .Yes some say looks don’t matter when it comes to men except for how many zeros are after the decimal coma in his bank account .I think just being clean covers a lot even if you are broke, there is a sense of attractiveness that you allure if you know how to dress and just maintaining a good hygiene. Here are some of the tips.

moisturize your skin.

protect your face skin always.

The skin is the largest part of our body it is our first suit before we settle for all those designer outfits therefore it has to be taken care of from the inside going outside .Always have a moisturizing cream with you .After taking a bath apply it on your skin for the skin will be a bit dry and this will help it from flaking or presenting that ashy look .Apply tissue oil before you sleep and if you don’t have tissue oil, use the regular petroleum jelly or olive oil.

The face is always the delicate part of our body for it either markets us or demoralise us. Avoid shaving your beard without any shaving cream or applying soap froth .This will damage your skin for those blades will even cut your skin hence irritation, which leads to those big black pimples all over the beard area. Make sure you use an after shave cream after shaving to moisturize the shaved surface if you do not have apply petroleum jelly or tissue oil or rather put a teaspoon of soda in warm water and dip a clean soft cloth into the water and just rub on the shaved area and wait for a few minutes and rinse off. Remember to apply some beard oil to make it shiny and soft.

eUniverse|B E AUT Y

shave your pubic Yes, you heard right .It is never a good thing to have another amazon forest down south. Use a shaving stick or hair remover but make sure the product is recommended for use in such areas .As much as you may want that whole forest and its nests, that hair actually keeps an order if not maintained properly hence .Remember some gents do not bath always this will lead to pubic lice and all sorts of smells down there. Remember to always wash your joystick with water, do not apply any soap for that area is sensitive you might react unless it’s a recommended product .Make use of ball powder or rather use baby powder .Apply it on your twin nuts for there is a lot of sweating that goes on down there during the day which will give way to smells .Always change your boxers and avoid wearing too many shorts allow free air circulation and avoid wearing very tight pants as well. Always remember a tree is always visible in size once it has been pruned.

wash you hair regularly.

There are a lot of shampoos in shops waiting to be bought by every men, please make use of them .Always have a nice hair cut regularly and always get the right hair cut guys. Condition your hair twice a week it is quite helpful as well.

minimize wrinkles.

“just being clean covers a lot even if you are broke, there is a sense of attractiveness.”

If you only thought that men do not worry about wrinkles you are wrong .Adopt a regular face care routine and stick to it. Buy face scrubs and masks for use once or twice a week .Make sure; your lotion has some sunscreen in it as well. Stay hydrated, water is good for the skin and avoids too much stress for it will cause wrinkles to escalate. Get enough sleep, it is also good for the skin and eat lots and many fruits.

cut off your nails Cut off your nails, always keep them at a right size .If you are well up you can always have a manicure and pedicure, have your nails glossed up a bit with a luminescent polish for men.

ender is now but just an identification, not a boundary or limitation to what a man or woman should be. Change is inevitable and not only women are levitating on the inevitability of the morden world but men are also venturing into the make-up / beauty industry, and have killed birds just the same way women do if not more than. 22 years of age, takudzwa born and raised in chitungwiza, “my make up skills are not to be messed up with lol” he said.

uthur Xcon Mugaviri is one of the hottest and powerhouse model I have come across in the industry. I’d like to say I’ve seen him rise from glory to glory throughout the course of his career .From being signed to different agencies and to scoring some gigs ,the has never stopped writing his name into the pillars of history. Xcon is a runway , photography and commercial model who has worked on various platforms ,agencies and studios including Size 4 , Look Alive and The Flame Building to mention a few. “It’s in the love of fashion and the need to provide a balance in the pyramid for males

and females in the industry that has led me to embark on this beautiful journey,” says Authur in response to what made him to venture into modelling. As always it has never been a walk in the park as he himself has also had a fair share of negativity.” The society still disapproves men who are into modelling .They are viewed as individuals of questionable ethics therefore yes for me I chose not to listen to either of that and I vowed to tell a different story through my concepts and what I put on so that I may dissolve all that shade that surrounds males who are into modelling industry.”

Do not rush things everything happens in its own time for if you try to rush things you end up being caught up in all these scandals that we are always reading about which will taint even the innocent souls or discourage someone who even wanted to sponsor your initiative.

“Fashion should tell a story ,it should raise awareness .It should speak a language that each and every individuals self-interprets .Every time I come up with a concept I always make sure that I’m telling a different story and also showing an evolvement in my career and personality as a whole” In line with the 41 years of Independence, I asked the model what it is to be Zimbabwean, Xcon articulated that, it means humanity, resilience and humility. “Yes there are a few errors here and there but I don’t want to dwell much on them but all I can say is we still have a long way to go ,but there is a lot of talent and art to be celebrated in our country” Mr Xcon hopes to open a fashion house and an agency where he can groom and train upcoming models until they find their own ground. ⃣

Q and A SESSION with towanda majachani.

towanda majachani. model

Q02.

Q01.

Recently the government set out an order to raid all drug Lords in a bid to make our country a drug free society .Do you think this move is quite essential? Is there more that can be done ?

“I dont think raid is enough, it has to be a real operation, an on going system not a once off operation...and put as much effort and resources in education to this cause..I think most of are not aware that drug addiction is a disease that an individual may need help with overcoming”

22 |@euniverse_mag

girls were not able to go to school especially in primary schools due to early child marriages and pregnancies what’s your take on this ?

Interview by | @mangylee I had a sit down with the model Towanda Majachani and this time we were addressing issues that are prevailing in the society. Towanda is not only a model ,but also an activist of rape and domestic violence.

An article was published citing many

“This is a real pandemic that has been going on for a long time and its everyone’s problem that needs addressing as a country and as a people.....women and children should not be seen as just objects, because their human beings too”

Q03.

An article was published citing many girls were not able to go to school especially in primary schools due to early child marriages and pregnancies what’s your take on this ?

“This is a real pandemic that has been going on for a long time and its everyone’s problem that needs addressing as a country and as a people.....women and children should not be seen as just objects, because their human beings too”

Q04.

The idea of allowing pregnant girls to return to school is it a right move towards inclusiveness or its rather an Apple trying to redeem a rotten basket ?

:”I think its an amazing idea and opportunity for progress for our community....if pregnant women can do household chores, go to work then they can definitely go to school.... pregnancy does not stop a man’s career why should we allow it to be for a women”

Q05.

Domestic violence is on the rise its no longer men who are mostly the perpetrators but also women .As a model what can you do that will raise awareness to this second pandemic after corona virus ?

“There isn’t really much one person can do..but keep the conversation going and not shying away from this topic is a good start ..raise awareness, share stories and keep on the fight against this abuse”

Q06.

Children are being sexually abused by maids .I think you have come across all these stories in our papers .What’s your take , are out children safe with maids?

”I wouldn’t say all maids are bad, I think bad people are everyone. Sadly in the case of maids, children have to face that abuse and its usually sometime before parents or adults catch up with that abuse on their children, but keeping communication lines open with children, asking and teaching them on the importance of speaking up is a start, and there are new technological advances that have allowed people to keep a record of their households while away from home.”

Q07.

Body shaming has been prevalent , looking at the issue of Njuzu , should the government implemented laws against body shaming ?

”I think the real issue is on bullying, people are allowed to have their opinion and their freedom of speech, but its the use of that power that needs to be emphasized on.

Bullying is the real problem and in case of njuzu it was unfortunate that the whole country made a spectical of her “self inflected” misfortune....still sad though!”

top10 most promising artists 2021.

Written by | Edify

E

Universe hosted a top 10 most promising artists 2021, a movement thats in line to expose hidden talent from anywhere in zimbabwe. Our intention was to launch a platform that showcases talents instead of article after article, eUniverse Insider will cater a lack in our magazine where readers are left unsure of what they just read or its in intention to eraze that photoshop mentality we have now because something can not look that good without it. So stay tuned this is just the beginning we have a whole lot more planned, interviews, behind the scenes,upclose and personal. It was our intention to hand pick the artists who where showing goodwill but rather we chose people to vote, this was a way to let people engage and look at the pattern of the genres that made the top 10, and a way of approach by the artists as compared to big artists. Our next movement will be done on instagram, it’s a way to let the artists check their votes in real time rather than working in the dark in which everyone will be unsure if it’s accurate or not and congratulation to Dyvegence ft Judie for winning the top 10. You can inbox some of the artists by clicking the links which will be provided on each article and give us your ratings on the overall top 10.

DRUG ABUSE A SINCE MENACE THE TIME OF THE OLD! Written by | swayer 21

Written by | alpha g-gemini poet

Since the time of the old When the TV screens were black and white.

Funny that’s how our artists used to come. The white ahead and the _Black’s_ behind. And our screens kinda made it easy...

To point the oppressed from the oppressors.

Always behind the scenes appeared our mother’s and father’s. But with patience and resilience. Colour never became a problem. As our new flag brought freedom and universalism

Where are you heading to?

Where are they leading you to?

Did you choose the life you’re living?

Is it the pressure you can’t overcome?

Is it the company you don’t want to lose?

Are they daily emotions, struggles you are primarily not focusing on leading you to live blindly whilst you are digging your own grave? Wake up son from those nightmares, don’t lead yourself to the graveyard there’s more to life.

Stop chasing dust stand up on your own and advocate for what’s right. Drugs are becoming a menace in today’s societies.

Since the time of the old When native language on international TV sounded Alien. We spoke and rolled our tongues. The language that came with horse’s and carriages. We branded ourselves illiterate as we spoke. But then now we have officiated sixteen. Like a sweet sixteen we proud on those screens To speak Tonga and say Twalumba

You never know, I might be speaking from experience and this might be my retrospect. I’m always wondering who will hold up my future as my generation seems and really proving to be hopeless.

Poets, Actors, Singer’s. From the corners of the nation. With determination, make us proud of our language. All because fought our ancestors and forefather’s

Don’t let your brains rot in the same drain you can pull yourself out. Reshape, relapse, remake the life and may you please opt and commit to reject them drugs.

Why acting and behaving reckless when you know the consequences?

Stop being self-centred and careless to your own life.

Chase your dreams you really need to labour in pain to enjoy the success of own sweat.

Truth be told, peace be preached life is what you make it.

Don’t forget drugs are a disturbance to life progress.

I rest my case. ⃣

Since the times of the old We never thought as a nation our life would also begin at forty. But now with an addition of an one. We already begun From the unable to the able. We at forty-one will struggle our struggle as artists. Socially, Politically, Economically and Religiously. We say, “We once did it, we have done it, so let’s keep doing it”. Let us keep bouncing back to the top. Whenever we hit rock bottom. ⃣

34 |@euniverse_mag

Why we should we commit to self destructive habits in struggle of being hypey and trendy. Is it technology or social media which became our role models savagely destructing the budding seedlings.

NOTHING LEFT TO SAY. Written by | audrey ```The air is polluted, The oceans contaminated, Animals are going extinct, The economy is collapsing, Ignorance is rewarded, The people are depressing, We can’t live with each other, We can’t live with ourselves, What’s popular is more important than what’s right, Ratings are more important than the truth, Racism is still an issue, So is religion, Your God doesn’t exist? Mine does and he’s all loving, If you disagree with me, I will kill you or even worse argue you to death, 92% of our songs on the radio are about sex, Technology has given us everything, We could ever want, At the same time stolen everything, We really need, Pride all time high, Humility all time low, Money is still the root of all evil, Yet people still tell their kids, “Don’t get that degree the jobs don’t pay enough”, Good deeds are done only when there is a profit margin, Our role models today 60 years ago would have been examples of what not to be, Young girls feel they need make up to look beautiful, Permanently lowering their self esteem, Because they will never be pretty enough to meet those impossible standards.

LEAN ON ME. Written by | @blackbird You know the world we live in, I find it Scarier and dangerous everyday.

I struggle to find peace too And now affection has taken over too, And in dark themes.

I cant tell you to be strong For being strong is one of the great things we struggle to find Especially in moments like these.I may not know what to say But at least lm here. Only to listen Take heart . Build yourself Shout to let go. Cry if you have to. Pray more Whenever you are ready. I will be right here I will listen more. I will talk less. Just feel free To share with me and let go I know how you feel. Because l have been there too. But its only a phase. When love tests you, It leaves you fragile. Try to mend your heart. As broken as it might be. Never lose it Never lose hope.

Just Dont fall sick please You are leaving me with no choice But to fall sick too Because l will stand by you I will share a shoulder ...Lean On me,when you are not strong

Most of the male society shuns this type of work out as women mostly do it. I for one started doing yoga late last year ,not only has it improved my flexibility but it has taught me to be disciplined and to be patient. It is more than just a mere bend over and stretching but it is a union of both the body , soul and spirit .Find a partner to engage in with because it’s never an easy thing to do it alone without any motivation. The more the merrier. Here are some of the benefits associated with male yoga.

Encouraging proper posture goes a long way to preventing future aches and pains.

5. Fountain of Youth:

No matter your age, yoga will make you feel alive and full of vitality inside and out. This, of course, doesn’t happen overnight, so you have to commit to a regular routine, even if it’s just for three sessions a week.

Relationships

and freedom.

Written By | Bahle whatsapp

A

s a nation we have been afforded the privilege of celebrating 41 years without bounds, being our own bosses though some may debate on the extent of freedom we have, that is a story for another day!

In this vibe of celebrating being our own beings it got me thinking how can we relate freedom in relationships as well? It should be noted that the ideas I put across have been acquired from research, personal experiences, close associations etc and may be taken with a pinch of salt just like any other piece of information. Freedom does not limit us to our country being free from some form of rulership but extends even into our relationships.

One might then wonder what it is that qualifies being free yet you might be in a partnership of sorts.

When God created each one of us he made sure that we have our complete set of organs to be used by each individual to the best of their capacities. However, in the case of reproduction, he made sure the female and male counterparts complement each other otherwise each to their own brain, eyes, limbs etc. What does that prove? Each person is given an opportunity to use their selves or

38 |@euniverse_mag

their parts and organs as maximally as they can. How then does one person come to a conclusion that he or she has to think for the other person?

Or he or she has to now start doing certain hobbies just because their partner is into that kind of drill? Lest I get quoted out of context showing an interest in soccer because my babe is a Manchester United fan is no sin no, but I have no right whatsoever to lose myself in order to please my bae. Supporting him in his charity work, leadership campaigns etc is the least of my worries I mean who doesn’t want a supportive partner?

The problem surfaces when you lose yourself totally, what you stand for and what you take as your identity trying to please someone’s child.

Generally, freedom brings about a fulfilment and a joy untold. Ever seen how freely and beautiful a butterfly is when its flying freely flapping its bright wings under the sunny sky?

That is how you should look like only that you are human in this case and not a butterfly but the theorem still applies. You need to be your own person, you were an individual before the relationship and you still are one.

You are your own person, and as such you should live as one. Being free has more to do with knowing you have

a life that you are solely responsible for, knowing that you also have dreams that you want to achieve, you also have goals and aspirations that will give you that zing, and you are your own person before you can be someone’s partner. You are no property and no one owns you but your creator, he is the only one that can direct your path in his divine will, your partner can tell your pet to jump and sit not you know you are your own person. You are allowed to have a social life besides him or her, you are allowed to take breaks from situations that do not give you peace be at work or home or any social setting, you are allowed to take time to doll yourself up or adorn yourself and look as classy as you want not for anyone else but yourself. You have that privilege of taking yourself out to the movies, remember we mentioned self-love before: without or within a relationship self-love will always encourage liberty.

At the very least self-love is freedom.

Loving yourself first will give you an understanding that as much as we exist and live together, we need space, we need time alone, we need to breathe, we need to be free, we need a space that can encourage free expression, and we all need to live!

unpacking vision

eUniverse|MOTI VAT ION A L

Written By | Donnalbain T. Mupinyuri In general terms,“a vision is the ability to think about or plan the future with imagination or wisdom”.

It is a mental bigger picture of results you want to achieve. From a Christian perspective,” a vision is revelation from the Lord regarding His future plans for your life. Sight is the function of the eyes, while vision is the function of the heart.

Vision gives birth to goals. You must see the future in your mind’s eye and imagine how it would look and feel like when you get there. Vision inspires action. A powerful vision pulls in ideas, people and resources.

Ideas control the world.

THE ELEMENTS THAT SHOULD CONSTITUTE A PERSONAL VISION ARE:

THINGS SUCH AS:

•Spiritual - What is your place in the house of God and how will you serve?

Bezalel (Exodus 31 vs 1-5), Daniel (Dan 1vs 17). You cannot execute the vision that God has given you beyond the skills capacity you have.

Proverbs 29:18 Where there is no revelation (vision), the people cast off restraint.

•Academic – What type of knowledge do you require to succeed and when you should have it.

A vision shows you the future before you get there. It allows you to see way ahead of the things that are happening around you. It takes your mind to places that lie beyond your current circumstances. People live aimlessly and perish when they are not able to see life beyond what they see and feel right now.

A vision evolves as it unravels. Joseph is an example. He had the vision to lead his brothers but it evolved to include being in a dungeon, slave, prisoner, and then second in charge of Pharaoh. If Joseph himself had not been persecuted and falsely accused, he was not going to be an effective leader. His experiences prepared him for a political position at which false accusations to destroy other people are rife.

God gave us vision so that we will not have to live by what we see. We were created to live according to the way God functions, and that’s through faith and His word.

Vision is loaded with faith, peace, joy, rest and pressure free. It is content with patience towards the future. God himself can give us the true vision that fits who we are by design.

•Career - What is your career plan?

What is your passion, gift or talent??

•Family – What kind and size of a family will you have?

•Social – What is the network and relationships necessary around you to help achieve your vision?

Most people abandon the vision as it unravels. The development process mainly involves God working on the individual and maturing them.

HAVING THE VISION IS NOT ENOUGH BUT IT MUST BE CULTIVATED BY AMONGST OTHER

1. EDUCATION

2. MENTORSHIP Elisha was mentored by Elijah. Be around people who cultivate your vision.

3. EXPOSURE Queen of Sheba was left with no spirit after exposure to Solomon. In other words her vision capacity was expanded. She realised how small her vision was by being exposed to others. 1 Kings 10: 5.

Most people fail especially on the aspect of exposure. Attitude is important in that you can choose to learn or feel jealous when exposed to a greater vision than yours.

The faith of your vision is crucial because the way you see things determines how you think and act, and, therefore, whether or not your vision will become reality. Whether words are spoke or written, they are full of creative.

tips for aspiring

entrepreneurs.

Source | iol.co.za

I

t Is No secret that entrepreneurship is the key to stimulating economic development and growth in Zimbabwe. In fact, small businesses are also a great source for job creation in smaller geographical areas and by employing local people SMEs are able to better support their community and grow our economy. While all this is true, the very essence of entrepreneurship is that it provides business owners with the ability to support and sustain themselves and their family.

Most Zimbabweans struggle to make ends meet every month. In fact, a 2019 study showed that more than 50 percent of us borrow money to get through the rest of the month after we run out. Add the woes of Covid-19 and the subsequent lockdowns, and the need for Zimbabweans to make more money is greater than ever.

Entrepreneurship – whether fulltime or part-time – offers the perfect opportunity to not only supplement incomes but change lives. But, where does one start?

Here are five entrepreneurs:

tips

for

aspiring

1. Don’t overthink it: More businesses fail to launch due to overthinking than those that actually fail after going live! Don’t fall into this trap. No

42 |@euniverse_mag

matter where you are, what you want to get started, the biggest gift you can give yourself is the gift of starting. Get out of your head and get going!

2. Create a feedback loop: The quicker you launch, the more basic your product or service will be. That’s okay. Make sure you create a feedback loop that allows you to hear what your customers are saying, then implement their feedback into your product or service design so you keep getting better.

3. Keep experimenting until you get it right: The more you experiment with new products and services, the more likely you are to hit the nail on the head at some point. Don’t be afraid of experimenting with new things which you think might add value to your customers. They are likely to love your commitment to finding a solution that meets their needs and wants.

4. Surround yourself with high-impact people: This is harder than the other tips to implement because sometimes we just don’t have the luxury of highimpact people in proximity to us. If you do, seek them out on purpose and make sure you saturate yourself in their thinking. If not, find the best people online, follow them, study them and never stop!

5. Remain a student: The second you think you know what you’re doing and don’t have any more to learn is the second you’re going to fall flat on your face.

The world is too ’always-on’ with new thinking and strategies emerging by the minute for any of us to think that there isn’t more to learn. Keep growing!

Do yourself, your family, and your community a favour believe in yourself and your dreams, and start your business today.

“getout of your head and start doing.”
