As My Entrepreneurship Journey Series One comes to a close, we'll be taking a break from the Raconteur to share some quotes I've encountered in the many books I've read.
Next week, we'll launch a new series titled "Mistakes That We Make," which will feature my own experiences, actions, inactions, omissions, and commissions, as well as insights gained from the people I've interacted with during my 7-year entrepreneurship journey. The upcoming topics will revolve around career, business, and community, which are the three developmental areas where my company, Techinva Kenya Limited, provides solutions.
Enjoy these quotes, contemplate them, and let them enrich your thoughts and perspectives.
