If you care about success and would like some tried and true tips on how to get there, then you will enjoy Face2Face Africas interview with George Ndirangu (pictured), a 24-year-old business analyst, news anchor, host of the talk show “Business Agenda” with TV10 Rwanda, and CEO of Kenya’s Fashion 2Die4. On which strategies hes used to succeed he says: When you have an element of surprise and bring something to the table, you can also feel free to eat from the same table. On how he has managed to balance careers in fashion, media, and finance: I plan my day from Monday to Friday: every single hour. I don’t believe in someone calling me up randomly asking to meet. If we hadn’t planned for it, then we have to meet up some other time. Being able to juggle among fashion, working here in the media, working for the UNDP, working for schools, and working in the finance industry is all a matter of planning. Once you plan out your time, everything works out. On what African youth can do to side step the hurdle of unemployment: My advice to young people is that you simply need to get off your ass, go out there, and look for a job as much as possible and network with the people around you. If not, develop a solid plan to employ yourself and search for investors. In most countries right now, especially here in Rwanda, they are advocating more for entrepreneurship, and young people are actually getting a lot of sponsorship. I usually hand people the cheque sometimes and think, Oh damn, I wish this was me. Entrepreneurship really is the way forward.
