The go beyond series is focused on Akindele, fondly called Uncle B, sharing real life experiences and the struggles of being an entrepreneur, and it is a mentorship platform opened to entrepreneurs or aspiring entrepreneurs and students to benefit from.
According to Akindele, for you to succeed in business, you must have something you want to sell, you must be known for your expertise in a particular area, either product or service.
He opines that no matter how good an entrepreneur idea is it is nothing without the support of capital, adding that similarity, familiarity, compatibility are three things that should guide the principles in the life of any entrepreneur.
