Today marks the beginning of the Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW)!

It is indeed a time to roll out the drums and celebrate those;

that have chosen to make others happier
who have dared to dream
who have put food on the table of millions, both directly and indirectly
who have endured great difficulties in pursuit of their dreams
who ensure that their businesses continually keep others engaged and busy through out their lifetime
who have created wealth where/when others saw poverty
who have developed solutions that solved a problem
who have passionately pursed a cause that turned out to be a life safer
that have made a fortune, yet pledge to give it out….

Dozens of U.S. billionaires pledged on Wednesday to give at least half their fortunes to charity as part of a philanthropic campaign by two of the world’s richest men — Warren Buffett and Bill Gates. Reuters – 4th August, 2011.

Go ask Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, Aliko Dangote, Mike Adenuga how they succeeded?

They will all probably say the same thing;

it was not easy at first but I pushed on and today, the rest is history…

The Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW) helps map the entrepreneurial ecosystem in various countries and enjoys the participation and support of leaders on every continent. This initiative should be encouraged in Nigeria.
