Entrepreneurship is like being in love. You just know it when it feels right. Be bold, but don’t rush it. There is no point in jumping into entrepreneurship for the sake of becoming an entrepreneur. Your project has to make sense, and you have to be ready to work hard and sacrifice for a long time before you see the results. Treat your corporate career as training for entrepreneurship, and focus your mind and your career path accordingly.
I was featured in Techweez in an interview about the path from our early airport-accommodation venture near JKIA to building HotelOnline as a pan-African hotel-distribution business. I spoke about the gap we saw in the market, the move from Savanna Sunrise to HotelOnline, and the wider strategy of helping independent hotels compete more effectively online.
