Here’s a sample post

Do you do business with the wealthiest African nation? (Part 2)

How to develop a product for @DiasporaNation. As I wrote last week, there are an estimated 50m+ Africans working and living outside their home countries today. We generally refer to this collection of communities as the “Diaspora,” so I coined the phrase “@DiasporaNation”. According to official statistics, these guys send home about $65bn per year. If this is 10% of their income, then their total income is about $650bn. It’s a lot of money; in sum, it’s more than the total income of all the 200m people living in Nigeria, at about $550bn! About 25m Nigerians are part of @DiasporaNation, and they send home about $30bn, almost 40% of oil revenues! In some countries like Zimbabwe, Eritrea, Lesotho, and Malawi, @DiasporaNation is the main source of foreign exchange. In many other economies, it is the biggest single source of foreign exchange well ahead of industries like gold, platinum, tobacco and tourism! @DiasporaNation is made up of Africans working in virtually every field, including domestic help, cleaners, restaurant staff, Uber drivers as well as accountants, scientists, engineers, doctors, lawyers, professors, designers, you name it – together they are the lifeblood of Africa’s economy! As entrepreneurs working either at home or in the @DiasporaNation, make sure the product development and marketing strategy of the business you are already in includes @DiasporaNation. You don’t have to think of another business; do it with the business that you are already in. Ask yourself: How can I align my business to sell products and services to @DiasporaNation? If you know your own business well, I’m confident you will find a way! Which reminds me, last week I did a little quiz for Sasai App users only. I asked you to name at least two services on the App which were designed with the @DiasporaNation in mind. __The best answer would have been: “The whole App was designed for the @DiasporaNation!” Lol! Look at it! Take for instance our amazing @Country Explore service… If you are in Houston, Texas, you can log in to see or listen to LIVE digital radio and TV stations in almost any African country! And other parts of the world, too. Sasai’s news and media service alone is truly amazing! If your parents don’t read the English or French, you can also get them to download the local language version and communicate with them to send them money. Remittances are now possible to 35 African countries at a cost of only 2.5%, instead of 10%, which means @DiasporaNation will save over $4bn in fees (HOPEFULLY THEY WILL SEND IT HOME… hint, hint!) Anyway, I promised to choose a quiz winner for last week’s quiz, and my winner is Stephen Iorsoo of Abuja, Nigeria, who wrote: __“The language translation and the money remittance are designed with the @diaspora in mind”… Congratulations! My staff will reach out to you and arrange for us to have a Sasai Video Call in the next several weeks. It will be a five-person call. We can discuss your business or idea for 30 minutes! Well done. “There are a thousand ways to kneel and kiss the ground; there are a thousand ways to go home again”. Rumi To be continued. . .

Frequently Asked Questions - And the answers

I created this e-book first for myself, so I can easily go back and make reference to old posts. And then for my team, I want everyone who works for me to think like an entrepreneur! (just as Strive has taught).

However, I soon realised a lot of people might actually need this. So I decided to share it with all 4.7 million students of Strive Masiyiwa

You can download the e-book completely free. 

However, considerable time and resources went into creating all 6 e-books (2014-2019). We will appreciate it if you would buy us a cup of coffee, as a “thank you” for all the hard work the team put into making this easily accessible to you.

We initially tried to automatically copy all of Strive’s posts using a bot but Facebook doesn’t allow that. 

So my team and I decided to manually copy all his posts (from 2014 to 2019), download all the accompanying images and then transform them into a beautiful e-book.

It took several weeks to get it all together. We hope you enjoy reading it as much as we enjoyed making it!

There are 6 e-books, one for each year from 2014 to 2019. 

Each year is a separate downloadable e-book.

Your download will be sent to your email, once you fill the download form with the right details.
