*Most people dismiss many of the best and most profitable investment ideas simply because they probably won't work.* *These investors never stop to consider how much they could make if unlikely outcomes actually occur.* *Jeff Bezos took those bets and became the richest person in the world.*

If you don't find a means of
multiplying money, you will wake up
one day to realise that the money you
thought you had, has finished.
Investment is key.

in Africa are the same as U.S, find some “friendly” politicians. For sure Mr. Rubenstein knows this full well.

[odemaj]

He meant, getting to know or befriend corrupt politicians, it's the norm

I disagree with his first advice, you don’t have to know ‘everything’ about a business you want to get into. The best way to be in business is to be in business. I started a small wholesaling business with 3 staff 12 years ago not knowing anything about wholesaling food, but as the years went on I learned on the job and today I manage and own a 8000 sq ft wholesaling distribution warehouse with 13 full time working staff.

yeah I'm sure befriending the most corrupt of the elite and influencing government-ordained monopoly on your businesses helps quite a bit too 👍🏾
