When you become a CEO, your technical abilities are not in question, and what's left is how well you deal with people. 70% of being a CEO is managing stakeholders, so I encourage anyone with this vision to develop and master good people management skills early enough.

Climbing the corporate ladder brings the risk of losing your individuality & getting lost in the role. This is why cultivating humility and empathy are important - they are a great way to save yourself from the negative attitudes that can develop when you are privileged to lead.

Like I said, it truly is a balancing act and how you manage time. In my view, the time to leave is when your business is able to generate more income than your salary pays and is able help you live a reasonably comfortable life that meets all your necessities. #40DayMentor

. @MumbaKalifungwa what advice would you give a person with a side hustle on how to balance that with their formal job. How would they know it is time to make a choice to focus on one or the other? #40DayMentor

Ever heard of paralysis anxiety? Ever have that paralysing anxiety over uncompleted tasks, and counterintuitively, instead of chipping away at them, you are so overwhelmed you can’t seem to start? This happens when people spend more time planning than executing.

Being a stickler for detail is something I learned very early in my career and something I recommend for every business person. A clear understanding of the nitty-gritty is critical because it's often where execution meets hurdles.

A lot about life boils down to solving problems. It’s not what you know, it’s what you can solve. What gives you an edge, therefore, is how well you understand systems that grow more complex by the day and how well you can provide solutions.

The downward revision of the cheque value limit that recently went into effect by @BOU_Official is a welcome development in the world of finance. The drive towards a digitally-led financial ecosystem will greatly ease the way we conduct business locally and globally.
