Entrepreneurship will make you more than salaries, but what way should you look?

If you tell someone about Jeff Bezos, the richest man on earth, and they ask who he is, then the answer is most likely to be “He’s the founder of Amazon.” Or Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft. Or Mark Zuckerberg; Facebook, Elon Musk Tesla, Amancio Ortega; Zara, Michael Bloomberg; Bloomberg, and Jack Ma; Alibaba. Even those that are not founders are heirs of founders: The Walton siblings Walmart, and Mukesh Ambani, the wealthiest man in India, Reliance Industries. Come to Africa and sample her sons and daughters in any rich-list. Aliko Dangote founded Dangote Group. People like Strive Masiyiwa of Zimbabwe boast Econet among their creations. You will barely hear someone say “he works for ABCD company and that is why he is a billionaire.”
