WHY DOESN’T OUR COMPANY DO THIS?

Many companies start when their founders addressed the answer to the question above.

Frustration with a current employer is the driving force behind this kind of startup. An employee is familiar with the customers in a market and their needs. S/he tells management that the company should create a product
because customers need it, but management doesn’t listen.

Finally, they give up and do it themself.

This is the case with the formation of GSB Innovation? The founder asked "Why dont primary schools in Kribi, teach young children to build the ambition and skills to take advantage of the presence of the port in kribi and the job opportunities it will create?". Her answer was the creation of the amazing GSB Innovation.

I am sure that as the first badge of students approach secondary education the next question she will ask is "What secondary school in Kribi can the dreams and ambitions of my students alive and push them to seive opportunities the kribi deep sea port will bring?". Hopefully her answer to this question will create a very innovative secondary school in Kribi.

There is a misconception that successful companies are born from mountainous or grandiose ambitions.

The implication is that to become an entrepreneurs you have to start with killer or megalomaniac goals in order to succeed.

This is simply not true. The majority of great companies actually began by asking simple questions relating to opportunities people spot. For example is "there a better way of doing it?" - A company could spring from the answer to this question.

It’s much easier to do things right from the start than to fix them later. At this stage, you are forming the DNA of your startup, and this genetic code is permanent.

By paying attention to a few important issues, you can build the right foundation and free yourself to concentrate on the big challenges.

Which is why it is important to discuss how to start a startup. This will be the subject of subsequent communications.

“A lot of the people we think of as exceptionally creative are essentially intellectual middlemen,” They’ve learned how to transfer knowledge between different industries or groups. They’ve seen a lot of different people attack the same problems in different settings, and so they know which kinds of ideas are more likely to work.”- Uzzy

“A great brand taps into emotions. Emotions drive most, if not all, of our decisions. A brand reaches out with a powerful connecting experience. It’s an emotional connecting point that transcends the product.”—Scott Bedbury, Nike, Starb
