By DR STRIVE MASIYIWA  C.E.O and founder  Econet group. __Start right where you are, today! This is one of my business secrets: I look for entrepreneurs all the time. The managers that I value the most are those who show an entrepreneurial flare.  To paraphrase Moses, "O I would that everyone who works in our organization was an entrepreneur!" The other day I stirred quite a discussion when I remarked that some of the greatest entrepreneurs I’d ever met were not in business… that I’d even met civil servants and teachers who were great entrepreneurs! Entrepreneurship is not just about making money. __Think of an entrepreneur as someone who hungers to see transformation, and goes out to do something about it in an innovative and sustainable way. A friend of mine who was a senior executive for a well-established business once came to me and said he was thinking of starting his own business: "I’ve been working for 20 years; now I want to be an entrepre...

Revolutions are started by unsatisfied people, people tired of being told what they can do and when they can do it, people fed up with their lack of choices and personal freedoms, people fed up with being controlled by others, fed up with being oppressed, fed up with being manipulated. people who wake up from their dream and say enough is enough and am not live my life like this anymore. They take full responsibility of whatever happens to them. The universal law of use states "whatever you don't use you lose" hence lack of use causes loss. Faith unused decreases, if you don't use your freedom you lose your freedom and if you don't use your skills you lose your skills. we do everything we can to spread all the suffering in our society and yet no one is willing to step up to be part of the solution. Our society is nolonger based on value it's now based on entitlement and senioriy. We act as if someone owes us a living and this is due to the drama...

In 1998, Kodak had 170,000 employees and sold 85% of all photo paper worldwide. Within just a few years, their business model disappeared a nd they went bankrupt. What happened to Kodak will happen in a lot of industries in the next 10 years - and most people don't see it coming. Did you think in 1998 that 3 years later you would never take pictures on paper film again? Yet digital cameras were invented in 1975. The first ones only had 10,000 pixels, but followed Moore's law. So as with all exponential technologies, it was a disappointment for a long time, before it became way superior and got mainstream in only a few short years. It will now happen with Artificial Intelligence, health, autonomous and electric cars, education, 3D printing, agriculture and jobs. Welcome to the 4th Industrial Revolution. Welcome to the Exponential Age. Software will disrupt most traditional industries in the next 5-10 years. Uber is just a software tool, they don't own any cars, and a...

  Most money today is known as 'fiat money'-Fiat is a dictatorial order or decree given bu a person or group of people having complete authority. Money today is debt. Our currency today is an instrument of debt. Every is backed by an IOU(I Owe You) guaranteed to be payed by the taxpayers of our country. We are indebted into our country in form of taxes. There are different forms of taxes, start a company and your liable to corporate tax, your are a shareholder in a company, your taxed on your dividends. your an employee you owe the government PAYE(pay as you earn). you start a small business, you need to pay licene for operating. Buy a piece of real estate and you the government property tax. It is through all these taxes and licence paymens that the masses become indebted into the government. We have to pay taxes to backup our country's debt(currency). The bigger the country's tax base, the stronger and wealthier the nation becomes. Am not a tax activist but taxes...

Some people say the 'love of money is the root of all evil', if that's true then money is a necessary evil, but in my view point the 'lack of money is the root of all evil.' Money is just a medium of exchange, long ago there was barter trade, it was replaced by cowrie shells, then precious metal coins-people learnt chipping precious metal coins and the governments then decided to make coins from less precious metal until today when money is just paper!!??. The more civilized we become, the more money becomes a basic necessity. Nothing is free now. All the basic needs need money, we buy food, we buy shelter(rent if you own there is property tax), we buy water even when 75% of the earth's crust water. Someone will tell you i don't care about money instead i care about my career, can you work on a career that doesn't have a good pay. That's why secondary students  these days are opting for science based subjects, because they hope in the future th...

The name of the game of money is 'who is indebted into whom'. the more people you are indebted to the, the poorer you are, and the more people you have indebted to you, the wealthier you are. that is the game. W e are all indebted to someone else, the problem occur when the debt gets out of balance. Unfortunately the poor people of this world have been run over so hard by the game, they often can't get deeper into debt. If you have too much debt, the world takes everything you have.........your time, your work, your home, your life, your confidence, and then they take your dignity if you let them. The biggest reason why everyone is in debt is because money itself is debt, our currency is not an instrument of equity, but an instrument debt. Every shilling is backed by an IOU guaranteed to be paid by the taxpayers of the issuing country. As long as the world has confidence in in the Ugandan taxpayer to work and pay for the IOU called money, the world will have confidenc...
