  HOW CAN AFRICAN ENTREPRENEURS HELP TO BEAT THE PROBLEM OF CORRUPTION? John Paul,  for #africa #smallstarter #business  In the last two decades, African entrepreneurs have applied their creativity and innovation to solving serious problems in financial services, affordable energy, sustainable housing, and access to quality education. But there is one big problem that remains the elephant in the room: corruption. If you do business on the continent, it can be hard to escape this ugly problem. In this article on Forbes, an entrepreneur in Ghana shares her experience losing 30 acres of locally-grown rice with $8,000 in bootstrapped funds and $11,000 in expected profit to corrupt actors. These kinds of stories are common across the continent. She later learned that the local chief of the community had a reputation for corruption. The problem with corruption is that it is systemic and has become 'normalized' behaviour. It now goes far beyond government offices and politicians and h

  How To Develop Mastery In Anything Fast  Writer, Leon From Lifehack  You know, most people believe learning fast is something only a few can achieve. They believe this skill can only be acquired by people with some sort of innate, natural talent. This is not true. You only need to understand how your mind learns. If you wanyt to be successful, this is something you MUST learn how to do. In today's world, if you don't learn things fast, you get behind. It's that simple. I learned this the hard way when I started Lifehack... Right now, we are quite big of a team. Back then, it was just me. Solo. For a while, that wasn't a problem. Running the blog didn't require me to learn that many things, only a few. Not yet at least. However, as Lifehack started growing, it started demanding more of me. All of the sudden, I had to learn things I didn't know anything about. Content creation, SEO, sales, landing pages... All of this was completely new to me. Worst part is that

  3 Things That High Achievers Do That Most  People Don't  Writer , Leon  From Lifehack  Have you ever wondered why people like Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos are able to accomplish so much? Do you want to know how you can also achieve greatness? If so, I have good news for you. You can. See, high achievers are not as different than you or me. That's not what sets them apart. What makes them special is the way they live their lives and go after their goals. Just think about Elon Musk and how he's revolutionizing Space travel with this company, SpaceX Look at Steve Jobs and how he was able to get Apple up from the ashes and make it a billion dollar company. But, how are they able to make things like that happen? What's so special about them? Let's look at some of them. They know what they want High-achievers do not dream about "doing great things" one day. They do not switch from one goal to the other when something doesn't work out. Instead, they have specifi

  WHY YOU SHOULD ALWAYS FORGIVE  Writer By ...Orji Victor CP It is in this life, I have come to understand that no matter how good I am, no matter how I try to give, play, be humble, carry everyone along, support others, avoid troubles and pray, there are offences, troubles, problems that must come my way and people that must hate or try to work against me, not because they wanted to be my enemies or work against me but because the Sovereign God or satan have made it that I must meet such people and such event(s) must occur in my life. They may love me, but once the day that destiny has ordained or appointed them to Misbehave comes, they will do as ordained, because a force (good or bad) bigger than them will compel them to do so. Judas Iscariot was forced to betray Jesus, not because of hate, but because an evil spirit entered him Peter denied Our Lord Jesus 3 times not because of hate but because the devil pushed him.. So, my friend, always forgive people whether they apologized or n

  Hi  Friend , This is Leon's Work From Lifehack  I absolutely love reading. It's one of my favorite hobbies, but it's not always easy or that convenient to get tons of reading done.  I'm sure you can understand.. the daily demands of work and family catches up. Many of us experience this overwhelming sense of competing demands on our time. We hanker for the space to read more. We buy the books, they pile up, but we never get round to reading them.  The Japanese even have a term for it -  tsundoku . A  US survey  found that more than one-third of adults report a desire to read more books, with book reading second only to exercise as the most wished-for activity.  Surprised?  If you’re one of these people, opening a book might have become something to do when you haven’t got anything else going on, which is almost never. It’s as if you decided at some point, likely without conscious thought, that even though you love books, book reading is effectively the least important
