You don't always need a brand-new idea to start a business.

Sometimes, the opportunity is hiding in something you already enjoy doing.
Baking. Fashion. Fitness. Photography. Event planning. Teaching.

The real question is: do you know how to turn that interest into a business that can generate income?
That's exactly what you'll learn in "Starting a Business in Africa."

Most young businesses do not fail because of bad ideas or bad timing. They fail because of blind spots the founder never addressed early enough.

If even one of these five hits close to home, that is your sign to pay attention.

Adesuwa Okunborhodes started raising her first fund at 29 with limited track record and heard "come back when you have more traction" for years.

So when she speaks to founders now, it's never from theory.
What she tells founders raising: know your target investor. Not everyone is your investor. Build proof of concept before walking into the room with big institutions.

What she looks for as an investor: clean numbers, unit economics you know cold, and governance you didn't have to be forced into. Because how you run a business at ₦100k tells her exactly how you'll run it at ₦1M.

Feeling alone is part of it.
The faster you grow, the more you outgrow. People, environments, conversations that once felt comfortable start feeling small and that gap is isolating.

But as puts it, a lot of entrepreneurial stress comes from how you judge your reality. Being broke is hard. Being successful is hard. Stress just means you're alive and that's okay.
