EDITOR’S NOTE<br />

Patience Yields Success<br />

Have you ever wanted to do something, so<br />

bad that it hurt? For me that something is<br />

inspiring others by creating a compelling<br />

content for the youth of South Africa,<br />

create an immersive storytelling platform<br />

where young entrepreneurs can tell their<br />

stories of success, showcase their work and<br />

inspire others, network and advertise their<br />

products and ultimately create more<br />

employment opportunities. All I want is to do<br />

is to be a part of the solution that will<br />

eradicate poverty. Putting a decent magazine<br />

together takes time. The magazine business<br />

is tough, you need a compelling content to<br />

gain readership, you need a team to create<br />

the content, you need money to pay the team,<br />

you need advertising to make money, you<br />

need the circulation to get advertising, you<br />

need advertising money to build the<br />

circulation. All these facets that depend on<br />

each other. It takes an enormous amount of<br />

time. However, we are not givng up. For you,<br />

that passion - that inner drive might be<br />

something else entirely, it could be making<br />

clothes, trading forex, building an app for your<br />

digital store, building a prototype for your<br />

invention, or starting a TV production<br />

company. Big or small, you need to be<br />

patient with yourself, give yourself time to<br />

study, research, build a business plan, and<br />

raise startup capital. No mater what you must<br />

do, do not give up because it’s difficult, don’t<br />

stop because there is no one to help, don’t<br />

stop because you have not started<br />

making money and most importantly do not<br />

give up because people are making fun of<br />

you. keep moving, keep pushing. Your hard<br />

work will soon payoff.<br />

INSPIRATION<br />

“ I Have come to learn to be<br />

patient and not to give up too<br />

quickly. It takes patience<br />

and persistence to bring a<br />

new product and ways of<br />

doing things to a community.<br />

There are early adopters who<br />

immediately embrace the<br />

product and there are<br />

traditionalists who resist<br />

the change that the initiative<br />

represents.”<br />

- Bernice Dapaah<br />
