If you are in the area, you don't want to miss Paul Kirungi's presentation at the 35th Annual UNAA convention and Trade Expo in Dallas. His entrepreneurial insights are truly remarkable. Working alongside him has been a privilege - he fearlessly challenges the status quo and competes with the big players with both confidence and strategy. One valuable lesson I've learned from him is that startups should position themselves the same way their big boys counterparts do! That means offering service over and above the big boys, it also means that where the big boys set up shop, as a startup in the same domain you will be right next to them. Let's embrace the mantra of pushing boundaries! 🌟 #Entrepreneurship #Innovation #Boundaries #Inspiration
