Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My inspiration in business is my dad, who was a teacher back in our home country. However, due to the war in Congo, we moved to Tanzania.

How do you stay motivated?

As a driven entrepreneur, I stay motivated by reflecting on my roots, remembering my humble beginnings, my dad's entrepreneurial spirit, and the struggles my family faced, which helps me stay grounded and focused. I also set clear goals, achieving milestones and celebrating successes along the way, tracking my progress and staying motivated. Surrounding myself with positivity, I'm grateful for my supportive family, friends, and team, whose encouragement and belief in me keep me motivated.

What would you do with the $25,000?

With $2k, I would invest it in Uncle B Investment, my company, to drive growth and expansion. First, I would allocate $10,000 to enhance our real estate portfolio, investing in rental properties or renovating existing ones to increase value. Next, I would use $5,000 to expand our pharmacy business, stocking up on high-demand medications, Another $5,000 would go our farming initiative, purchasing new equipment and I have other 3 campany I have 500 max words to share…..
