‘My Own Boss’ contestants get business tips

Season four of the business reality show has been dubbed “Buy Zimbabwe Edition” and it seeks to identify, nurture, educate and expose raw talent for youths between the ages 18-35.

The majority of the contestants had no prior business experience but claimed to possess brilliant ideas and concepts.
While in camp, several business executives will mentor the contestants and then select 14 finalists who will make it to the television show for 13 episodes.
Last night, the contestants had a privilege to listen to real-life accounts from people who have made it in business.

On Turn Mining chief executive officer and Affirmation Action Group national vice president Chamu Chiwanza and Jubilee Centre owner and former Dynamos Football Club chairman I gnatious Pamire gave their testimonies.

“I never had spectacular education but entrepreneurship starts in the mind. I started business at the age of 19 and bought my first car at 21 when I still lived in Mabvuku and people said I was lucky.

“You create your own luck. Mark Zuickerberg is a college dropout but he is one of the world’s richest businessmen right now,” said Chiwanza as he as he gave an account of his rise in business.
