Doing More With Less

"Alison, be like the savanna grass, my child,

Bending with the wind, resilient and wild

In scarcity, find abundance untold,

Your impact on lives - more precious than gold."

This captures the essence of how successful African businesses operate. They're flexible, resource-efficient, and focused on making a real difference.

I recognize your desire to make swift, significant changes. However, sometimes the most effective solutions are the simplest ones. Don't just create cheaper versions of existing products. Instead, deeply consider what people truly need.

Your intelligence, both academic and practical, is a valuable asset. Use it to see potential where others see limitations. Remember, your impact on lives is indeed more precious than gold.

You have the capacity to do remarkable things. I'm confident you'll find innovative ways to do more with less.
