Dear business owners: Do not charge us a fee for using a credit card. YOU are meant to bear that fee in exchange for not having to carry cash to the bank. That's the cost of business.

Many digital business owners believe preparation for an exit starts once they decide to sell. In reality, preparation begins much earlier through clean financials, documented processes, and consistent performance. These elements help reduce friction during acquisition discussions. They also improve buyer confidence throughout the transaction.

Store owners in Onitsha are private business owners. They pay their rent and taxes. Soludo locking up their shops because they choose to stay at home on Mondays is dictatorship. This is something that should have been addressed through dialogue, not by using force.

Met with a European founder this morning for espresso Asked what he's building "It's a software to help business owners identify tax deductions they can take advantage of," he told me I broke into a sweat My heart rate spiked and I looked for the nearest emergency exit to safely escape through I ran for my life out of the café and sprinted to the nearest government building (luckily, there were several nearby) I reported the attempted tax evader He was promptly arrested by two dozen military paratroopers and brought to a maximum security prison Sometimes being a VC isn't about investing - but instead, looking out for the greater good and becoming a government witness against an evil man trying to hurt the government

My college buddies who got drunk as shit regularly are business owners, doctors, and lawyers. My college buddies who got stoned regularly are still potheads 25 years later and have never amounted to anything. Take that for what it’s worth.

there are 1000's of business owners out there that are willing to throw a life-changing amount of money at you to automate processes that are burning their time & resources... all you really need to do to make a sh*tton of money is to specialize in AI automation & to be reliable bonus points if you display this competence through personal brand

Flashback to when MAGA had a full meltdown over lockdowns—blaming Biden like he time-traveled into office in 2020. Newsflash: Trump was president. Greg Abbott was governor. And under their watch, Texas fined and arrested business owners for trying to keep their livelihoods afloat. You got locked down by your own team… and now you’re out here pretending it was Biden? Pathetic. Learn a timeline.

"If I get audited, I expect to pay interest and penalties. If I go to jail, you went too far." - one of the wealthiest business owners I've met describing his ideal tax CPA

It's wild watching people react to business owners talking about leaving. "Bye!" "Don't let the door hit you on the way out!" They somehow fail to understand that small business owners are the backbone of the economy.

Had 2 conversations with business owners today that want to leave the country. Just saying.

People are confusing "corporations" with "the wealthy" The majority of small business owners are not the ultra-rich that you think they are.

Why is Africa still POOR in 2024? It’s not low IQ. It’s not corruption. It’s not colonization. The answer: Africa’s business environments are the WORST in the world. It’s because of our laws that Africa’s business owners are in chains. These chains hold us back from ever creating wealth or running thriving businesses. In Singapore, Denmark, New Zealand, or the United States, it is fairly simple to start a business. By contrast, in most African nations, it’s REALLY difficult. Of the twenty lowest-ranked countries in the world for starting a business, Africa makes up thirteen of them. That’s nearly 70%! Businesses create jobs. Jobs pay people money. And when Africans have money, they will no longer be poor.
