Hi, I am Dr. Harnet Bokrezion, the founder of Africa Business JumpStart. I have lived and worked in Great Britain, Eritrea, and Germany, mostly as an International Development Consultant for Africa. I am now working also as an Africa Business Coach ready to assist you to jumpstart your Africa business focusing in particular on Diaspora Africans. Right now, you can seize an amazing lifetime opportu
nity of being at the right place at the right time: Africa is at present officially the world’s second fastest growing region and the sharp rising demands in this new emerging market can currently not be met efficiently by supply. This situation opens a huge array of business prospects and the potential for high financial returns that can barely be matched in elsewhere. This frankly means that you can become financially hugely successful in a much shorter period of time – if you get things right. It’s a golden opportunity for each one of us while you are serving Africa, but this window will not be open for too long, the right timing is now. So, there is definitely a sense of urgency in it. Foreign companies are now moving in – are we ? So, what’s holding you back? What is holding you back to open a business in Africa given the amazing potentials? Lack of awareness and information? Worries about political leadership, corruption, and other risks in Africa? Lack of time to get a business going while you work in another job? Worries about relocating your family or giving your security up in the West? Not knowing where to start and how to make the right decisions confidently? There are many more reason, why so many Diaspora Africans have been unresponsive about starting an Africa business. And this is where Africa Business JumpStart comes in, we help you to:
“ Overcome Obstacles. Identify Opportunities. JumpStart your Africa Business”
Join Africa Business JumpStart if you face the following challenges:
You are kind of dissatisfied with the life you are leading. You are smart, hard-working, and talented, but you know you are not living up to your full potential when working a 5-9 job as an employee for someone else. Your are tired of the monotony of life and want to tap into something much bigger. You are ready. You own a business or a skill, but you struggle to significantly boost sales in a saturated market in the West, or you have simply not been too successful in your professional career. You are ready to consider Africa as a viable alternative to turn your life around for the better and want to learn more. You have thought of establishing a business in Africa, but you simply don’t know how or where to start. Besides, you worry about the many risks in Africa and various other personal obstacles that you seem to be unable to overcome. To target the African market sounds interesting to you. You need concrete guidance how to make strategic decisions, position yourself in Africa, win local partnerships, and market efficiently. As a Diaspora African you were thinking that Africa could provide a better lifestyle for you, but you are worried about the lack of capital to get you started, it has been holding you back. Or, you do not feel at ease with the thought of going back after many years and giving up the life you have built in the West. You have ideas you want to realize and maybe you own capital you would like to invest, but you lack clear direction to make truly informed decisions and make them confidently. You would benefit from neatly packaged or customized insights, step-by-step guidance, and the opportunity to connect with like-minded people, so you can finally formulate tangible goals and start pursuing them. You simply want to live life to the fullest and make the most of it. You have reached a point in a life where you want to pursue more fulfilment – on your own terms. You are looking for a life and a business with purpose: You want to be part of Africa’s renaissance, positively impact on the lives of others, while building a grand lifestyle for yourself. Take the first step…

The rest will follow step-by-step, it will be a process and you will be amazed how much that accelerates once you get started and know what you are doing. There will be a point when all your worries subside and you will feel truly empowered, energized, and excited about your new journey.

But be reminded that Africa’s window of opportunity is already open and we are moving towards the peak. So don’t contemplate too long. Be reminded to have that sense of urgency! Here is the deal…
Would it not be amazing if you ran a business that you passionately enjoy while making great money out of it, building the kind of lifestyle that you deserve, and contributing to the needs of Africa at the same time? Regardless if you have never started your own business or you run a business already, here are some tough facts: Around 50% of businesses opened in the West don’t make it through the first year of trading, and over 75-90 % don’t exist 5 years after launch! Much of it is down to poor planning, poor strategizing, and very competitive markets. Africa is a fast emerging market where you will face currently hardly any competition. The situation is such that analysts fear that supply in Africa is not able to meet demand fast enough. This is why it is much easier to establish yourself with an Africa venture and become extremely successful if you just create a solid basis. And you can even do so while living abroad or with no finance at hand. We will cover this extensively at Africa Business JumpStart. You still need to do extensive market research and planning and that is the point where many give up: we have no time, we are overwhelmed with the information, and have no business advice service or guidance like we would get in the West. Consequently, we put the idea on hold or move in anyway, poorly prepared. Many have failed as a result. Africa Business JumpStart is here to inform and inspire you, and to make an impact on your path to success by providing you with guidance and an array of rare and relevant resources. Most of them we offer for free and some in-depth content can be purchased at very affordable prices.
