My people, make I gist you something wey go ginger your motivation level! You sabi Gurhan Kiziloz? Dat man dey run business wey go make you believe say self-funding no be small thing!
Dis Gurhan no follow di normal route wey plenty founders dey waka. Him no bother to carry anybody dey help am fund him hustle, instead, him use im own money build Nexus International, wey gree make $1.2 billion in revenue for 2025! Chai! E be like say na miracle. But no be miracle o, na hard work and smart planning.
Omo, you fit ask wetin be di koko? Kiziloz dey enjoy wetin dem dey call concentrated ownership. As e no dive into debt with investors, all di money wey him company dey generate na for him own pocket! Imagine to waka come off di ground like say you dey carry bread go sell for corner; no investor go come dey shout ‘Ah, I need my cut!’ Dis kind arrangement dey rare for di business world.
Him business no get board of directors wey dey run di show, all decisions dey enter Kiziloz hand. If he see opportunity today, na today e go move on am! No wahala of waiting for approvals or meetings wey fit take time like serious traffic for Lagos. E just dey boot with speed, like person wey dey chase okada man wey dey run.
And make I tell you, di risk wey come with self-funding no be small. Dis man collect di bull by di horn enter blockchain venture with BlockDAG. People dey fear dis territory, but Kiziloz no even bat an eyelid! E use him guts take run am without any investor wey go dey fear and dismantle di plan. Dat na how big boys dey play their cards!
But e get one side wey we must remember: self-funding no be beans! Only correct people wey fit gather enough cash fit pursue dat kind road. It dey require discipline to no chop all di money ngay from di business, but rather, put back money make e grow.
Even if you no fit self-fund like Kiziloz, make you sabi say na im journey wey fit inspire you. Di man use him head, his self-belief, and smart strategy build something wey dey shine well well. No be everybody go fit follow him path, but we fit learn from wetin him do to dey make our own hustle better.
So, my Naija people, make dem no dull you! If you get any business idea, carry am with confidence and dey push am forward. Who no go try for wetin go fit change dia story?
