Victor Kwegyir
“What sets bootstrapping apart from other forms of business funding is that it relies heavily on entrepreneurs’ frugal thinking, creativity, thriftiness, planning and cost-cutting efficiency skills.”
Victor Kwegyir, Quotable Quotes For Business: Lessons For Success

Mokokoma Mokhonoana
“The fear of being poor or broke is a blessing, if you are a successful entrepreneur; but is a curse, if you want to be an entrepreneur.”
Mokokoma Mokhonoana
