Samuel Kwame Boadu: Drawing valuable business lessons from Tony Elumelu's UBA Group legacy

In the challenging world of entrepreneurship, strategic keys to success can be found in the practices of globally renowned business leaders like Tony Elumelu. 

Samuel Kwame Boadu, a Ghanaian young entrepreneur and Digital Marketer who shares crucial lessons for young African entrepreneurs, drawing major inspiration from Tony Elumelu’s legacy he is building, echoes this sentiment.

Embracing the Opportunities of the Digital World

Mr. Boadu encourages young entrepreneurs to take advantage of the vast opportunities available in today's digital age. These opportunities, he argues, are more abundant now than ever before. 

Borrowing a cue from Tony's impressive capacity to leverage technology combined with banking, Samuel Kwame Boadu urges entrepreneurs to think long term, a decade into the future, and to actively harness the new digital economy.

"Use your brain, discipline, and expertise, and then the world comes to you," he notes, emphasizing long-term strategy over short-term gains.

Cultivating Emotional Intelligence in Business

Another integral lesson from the SamBoad Business Group Limited Founder, Mr. Boadu is steering clear of emotional decisions in business. Tony is known for his relentless determination and emotional energy, but Samuel Kwame Boadu advises: "Don't be dispassionate in your business decisions, as businesses fail because people are not making passionate decisions."

The Tony Elumelu-Esque Longevity

Perhaps the most significant lesson Samuel borrows from Tony's legacy revolves around longevity. Undoubtedly, Tony's business, UBA Group, stands as a testament to his enduring vision, becoming the first African Bank to reach a billion-dollar market value.
