Dangote Ten Commandment on money

“what we are doing now is just scratching the surface. The future of our youths is far brighter than that of my own generation.” Aliko Dangote

1^st commandment

Go into a business for which you have passion:

“Before deciding on the Business you want to go into, take time to examine yourself,” Dangote said. “The type of a person you are will determine the type of business you should go into. This is very important. Some people when they want to go into business tend to look out for the business that is going very well at that time and then into it.

2^nd commandment

Start small:

“some people say because they are from so, so or family or have so, so, or so degree they cannot do this or that kind of Business because is too small, I want to repeat that no business is to small provided that it is legal and there is money to be make from it.

“This thing that I am talking about now happened to my relatives who would see a small business where they could make money but they would not do it. Instead, they would say something like ‘my Name is Danogte’ or my name is Dantata, this kind of business this kind of business is too small. I cannot get myself involved in it’. What am trying to put across is that you don’t bring in your ego when it comes to making money. There is a saying that pride goes before a fall.
