Ep14: Taking Risks to Get Ahead, Conversation with Yusufa Sey

Dear Afropreneurs,

Risk is a part of human existence, so why do we tend to run away from it?

The decision to be an entrepreneur or business owner is a risk you took, and for some this has started bearing fruits.

We spoke to an Amazing African Entrepreneur now making waves in Denmark, Yusufa Sey. Yusufa is the CEO of AthGene , regarded as one of the most innovative startups in Denmark.

Yusufa shared his insight on the topic “Taking risks to get ahead”

Here are key takeaways from our conversation:

• Embrace risks, because they form a part of our existence
• Leverage on others to reduce risk
• Build a strong team
• Test your assumptions, take your idea to the market and test them
• Stay lean
• there are more points in the audio file below

“Just do it, keep pushing, it’s going to hurt but it will be worth it in the end”
