10 things you need to know this Wednesday morning

Good morning! Here is today’s summary from Nigerian Newspapers:

Very Important – See The 5 Vital Things To Consider Before Starting A Business

Starting a business requires courage. Here is some hard-won advice for young entrepreneurs from experts. Namibian entrepreneur Lazarus Jacobs, co-founder of Paragon Investment Holdings, says his journey from working a menial job at a governmental department to becoming a successful entrepreneur was borne out of need. “My journey has been quite interesting; my journey has been one of necessity,” he says. Starting a business is a huge undertaking which comes with challenges. However, it’s possible to succeed despite the uphill battle. According to Jerry Muadinohamba, Director of Standard Bank Namibia Limited, young people are the ones with the most potential and great ideas. “I’ve always believed in young people. From young people, you derive a lot of energy, a lot of ideas,” he says, adding that all young people require is a push in the right direction. “In most instances, what you need is that spark to say: ‘We believe in you; we can unleash the potential, identify the potential.’” Here are a few pointers to assist – and inspire – aspirant entrepreneurs. Be clear about the solutions you want to find It’s vital to find clarity of purpose. “The first question I always ask [young people] is: ‘Why do you want to start a business?’ And you know what the answer always is? ‘I want to make a lot of money. I want to drive a fancy car like you,’” he says. “I always say to them that the primary purpose of starting a business is to solve problems. Look at the problems in your community and use enterprise to solve those problems.” Don’t be afraid to start Many aspiring entrepreneurs tend to focus their attention on the big things and get bogged down by how impossible it seems. The most important thing an entrepreneur can do is to start. “Start where you are, with what you have,” Jacobs advises. “The bank isn’t just going to give you R5 million; they’re going to say, ‘Let me look at your business plan. Is it credible?’” Don’t rely only on your passion Founder and CEO of Ndalo Media Khanyi Dhlomo says many people rely solely on their passion when starting their business, and while passion is important to sustain you, especially during difficult times, it isn’t enough to keep you ahead of your competitors. “We tend to think too much along the lines of: ‘Oh, I love this. I love to cook so I’m meant to be in catering.’ And that’s great – it’s good to be inspired by one’s passions. But I think it’s more important as your business becomes more competitive to think: ‘What problem can I solve? How can I do this differently?’ she says. Work hard Many aspirant entrepreneurs are tempted to focus on being the next Oprah Winfrey or Mark Zuckerberg. Being an entrepreneur is a challenging undertaking, and Jacobs says young people don’t realise that there are no short-cuts to success, adding that he has more than 30 years of work experience and has spent that time building his company. “When young people talk to me, they always look at me like they want me to teach them how to be crooks,” he says. Look within Dhlomo says the real work of business is on the inside. An entrepreneur who isn’t self-aware is setting themselves up for failure. “If you haven’t fixed what’s happening inside your heart and your mind, you will not fix what’s happening outside. It doesn’t matter which strategies you apply; it doesn’t matter which degrees you have; it actually doesn’t matter who you know,” she says.

Eddie Murphy actor and comedian, dies at 54

US actor and comedian Eddie Murphy, who starred in over 50 films, has been killed in a car crash in California.

Murphy, 54, was a passenger in a Porsche sports car driven by a friend – who also died – when it crashed north of Los Angeles.

Murphy was said to be attending a charity event at the time.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s department said the crash happened in the community of Valencia.

It said deputies found a car engulfed in flames when they responded to a report of a collision. Two people found in the car were pronounced dead at the scene.

“He was a passenger in a friend’s car, in which both lost their lives. We… are stunned and saddened beyond belief by this news.”

Paramount Pictures also issued a statement, saying studio staff were “heartbroken” by Murphy’s death.

“Eddie was truly one of the most beloved and respected members of our studio family for 24 years, and this loss is devastating to us and to countless fans.”

“We send our deepest and most sincere condolences to Eddie’s family.”

Murphy was born and raised in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Bushwick. His mother, Lillian, was a telephone operator, and his father, Charles Edward Murphy, was a transit police officer and an amateur actor and comedian.

Around the age of 15, Murphy was writing and performing his own routines, which were heavily influenced by Bill Cosby and Richard Pryor.

He will be remembered for his roles in such films as Shrek, The Nutty Professor and Dr Dolittle to name a few. Eddie had played a role in over 50 movies through his career.

In a statement, Eddie’s x-wife of 13 years, Nicole Mitchell, said she was “utterly heartbroken” and asked that he be remembered for the joy he brought to the world.

“This morning, I lost my best friend, while the world lost one of its most beloved artists and beautiful human beings. I am utterly heartbroken,” she said.

“On behalf of Eddie’s family, we are asking for privacy during our time of profound grief. As he is remembered, it is our hope the focus will not be on Eddie’s death, but on the countless moments of joy and laughter he gave to millions.”

Murphy had six children, Bria L. Murphy, Myles Mitchell, Shayne Audra, Zola Ivy, Bella Zahra and Angel Iris Murphy Brown. All of his children are said to be devastated by the tragic news.
