It’s time you become an entrepreneur

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.

Two people volunteered to take on the task and the elders awarded the contract to both of them. They felt a little competition would keep prices low and insure a back up supply of water.

Each morning he had to wake up before the rest of the village woke ...
