“Simpler smaller stages: Breakdown all your plans into simpler smaller stages and you shall be able to achieve them. Don’t just have a holistic plan; break them down into daily targets, weekly targets and monthly targets.

“People were poor not because they were stupid or lazy. They worked all day long, doing complex physical tasks. They were poor because the financial institution in the country did
not help them widen their economic base.”
