What Is Happening In Africa

I was listening to Bruno Mars "It will rain" and i fell in love with the song... I put it on replay and it played all day at the office. Just that song. I googled "Bruno Mars" and it appeared that he won no Grammy last night, Adele...
Adele won in all six nominated categories. I thought that was he debut so i googled Adele. I chose wikipedia and started reading about Adele..
I realised she had been there all along making hits and setting records since 2006. I didn't know about that till today. As I was reading, i realized she was born 1988, same year as i was born, she is just a few months older than I am. She is so famous that even the wind whispers her name in every surrounding and her voice kept saying " this is me and no one else".
Who from Africa has attained such fame and status..?
Facebook C.E.O was very young, Bill Gates was very young, who in Africa is making it at that age? When we hear of a rich man in Africa, it is either he is "Gold rich", "Oil rich" or "Corrupt rich" by politics. 
 Are we saying there are no entrepreneurs in Africa? What happened to our business side of life...
We are not able to market our culture and have paved way for some people who do not know how to even locate their left from right insult our way of life...
I walk about in Town and see "VLISCO" advertise a cloth and I feel like I have to see the tailor for a shirt. Our GTP is only made expensive with no value added to it.
What happened to our business side of life?
It may not come as a surprise if a whole human being could be sold into slavery for a piece of mirror...
It is sad... It is sad... It is sad
Apostle Kwadwo Safo is trying his best but our politicians go and watch, talk and it all ends there...
Our so called rich men have their monies locked up in other countries and are not investing in their own countries...
Our new breed of musicians can only sing songs that will be enjoyed in a month and the next month, nobody would want to hear that song at a party or any occassion...
I wonder how many of our artistes rehearse their stage performances before stepping on stage...
When shall we....?

How far so far?

Well, virtually everything that happens around us is unexpected. One wakes in the morning and no one know what is to happen in the next minute ahead. A friend was coming to my house on the 25th.December.2011 in the evening. He was coming from University of Ghana, Bani hostel though the Legon Presec route. They were two, Timms and Badon. According to their narration, they were conversing along the road and walking toward the main gate of the University. Just at the junction shared by Presec and Bani, Timms was robbed off his cell phone and some cash, GH¢ 15. Badon just walked along...
They say it is Christmas and it signifies the birth of Christ and that is suppose to mean salvation but someone was getting robbed. Probably somewhere around the world, someone was being killed, murdered or dying of a terminal illness. Who knows tomorrow?

Now to the subject, "how far so far "...

---

I have been operating Doss Empire for about a year now and my net profit is in negative. I have not made any profit from my business so far. There is something people call hope and that is all i have to hold on to for now. That am hoping i make it out of the negatives and start getting positive profit figures. The stress and frustration that comes with running a business for a year and yet not yielding profit is unbearable. Sometimes you don't want to even say you own a business, because when asked how well your business is doing, a perfect harmless question about your business could seem like the most insulting question ever. Still all i got is that thing people call hope, that abstract noun...
If the world could see what you see, there may not be conflict of misunderstanding because only then will they be able to understand why you do certain things some way and expect them to understand the reason for your decision.....
Operating a business without an office in the first place is like not operating at all. You may have all the necessary documents showing how legitimate your business is but without an office, the word trust may not be your friend. In my business life, i have been operating for 1 and a half year without an office. Sometimes, we think too much. Too much of what we think others might be thinking about us whiles the truth is that, they are not even thinking close to that. This condition of personal fable is a restriction to many success story. Sometimes the client is not interested in the fact that you don't have an office, he may be interested in the quality of work instead and you don't approach them with your business because you think you need everything to be complete before you start.
This way of thinking has stalled my progress for about a year now. My advice is that, probably what you have is enough for some level of success and you could start from there. Your brains definition of perfection is not same as another man's brain definition of perfection.
About 70% of the solutions to our problems lies with us and not from any external source. Blowing situation out of proportion and over elaboration is the stumbling block to business development.
The other 30% is easily tackled once the internal portion is resolved or is being resolved.
My advice is that, you start problem solving by trying to solve your end of the problem. The external solution is built on the internal solution. If the internal solution is not found, the external solution may fail to bring success.
