Hi Dr. Harnet! happy to see your videos again 🌸🌸YES , can you do an updated video on the risk and opportunity ratio for African countries. Many thanks💛

These rules do not only apply to Diaspora trying to do business Africa, but also South America, the Caribbean and other continents. Cash Flow management is key.

Looking forward to an educated -informational session on these 4 types

Wow thank you , I will open my first business . Gas station ⛽️ plaza no idea what I am doing a registered nurse back ground to business woman. Left Africa 25 +years to Europe and USA 🇺🇸

Dr. Harnet l appreciate your insight, encouragement and most of all, your transparency about your losts and health challenges. I so admire your strength and tenacity. You and your family are in my prayers. Keep operating in your purpose.

Great advice as always Dr.! The first mistake (emotional driven) is the most important....along with many in the American Diaspora attempting to bring their materialistic Western culture mentality with them - in a vain attempt to create the imaginary American Dream they could never achieve in America.

Lady Visionary here. Critical points. Thanks for sharing. This business venture in Africa is highly challenge . We are in the first year. Welcome Dr Harnet. Looking forward to hosting you at Twin Lakes.

A business a an idea. An idea is always an answer to an explicit or implicit demand or need The business is then the answer to that implicit or explicit demand or need. How you find the idea You are inspired. Therefore, before starting a Business in Africa, have an idea about the environmental realities, by doing so you will be inspired by the ideas of business that can answer the needs, the demands that are explicit or implicit in the environments. This step is a form of due diligence.

Thanks for the video

Hi Dr Harnet, welcome back, i missed your content during the break you were ill. Glad and thank God for your healing.very glad of your content.yes i made this mistake.

Thanks, doc! Great one. My first business failed due to managing it via my family. It didn't work out, and I have learned so much.

4 different African Business Market (high/low risks - high/low opportunities). Don’t follow your heart, follow data 👍 I’m very curious to know what is your actual list knowing your experience in doing business all over the continent. As you said, you should consider making a video on its own about this topic.

Hi Miss Very good advice, thank you from Australia.

Very valuable reviews and nuggets of local intelligence, thanks. Would most welcome your review on the countries Risk-oppotunity by country.

That is great advice Dr. 🎉 I am planning to do business in Rwanda now your lecture triggers me move now rather than delay

Wow, this is incredible, keep it up

Sister, thank you for sharing and taking the time to share this wisdom and knowledge 🤎

We LOVE YOU, Dr. Harnet! Thanks for the info!

Sale higher end❤ Great advice. Thank you.❤❤❤

That is a very valuable advice. Thank you👍

Love your advice, you keep serious people inline

Excellent video! Precise! Thank you Dr. Harnet.

Spot on! Dotore. Happy to have you as my online mentor. You gave me hope to make a decision. A former from Mozambique.

Please keep me updated

hi Dr. Harnet thanks for giving us all these gems ...to help us make better choices in our business ...

Thank you for such an indepth presentation. You're teachings are a great resource for those looking to do business on the continent.

Always good gems. Spill the beans african queen. Thank you so much!

You looked great Dr. Harnet. Thank you for sharing . May you be richly rewarded.

Thanks Dr. Harnett, we appreciate u as always but moreso spoiling us as of late 😊.

Great video this is extremely important for people thinking of doing business in Africa, I learned the hardaway and made a few of these mistakes everything your saying is 100% facts, Thank you for caring...

Well said Dr keep it up

None of the evaluation criteria mentioned are specific to Africa. Every investor in every part of the world needs to be aware of these points and country-specific situations.

Thank you Dr. Harnet, your advise is always on point. We appreciate you taking the time to share such gems with us. 😊😊

Great content 💯🙏❤️.

I watched your video often, it was great motivation on my journey to start business in African. Thank you for your efforts to change the life of Africans.

Good information. African businesses are very challenging for us Americans, particularly in West Africa because of how things have been ran historically on the continent. There really isn’t a method to the madness. One crucial point that I thought you would mention in business education is understanding the main trade language. That could be English, French or a highly spoken traditional language in the country.

Thanks Dr. Harnet. You're always on point!

Diaspora ? I think we all are concern too, we who never left. Thanks Dr for the video and the checklist

Well done Sistah.

Mrs Harnet all the best from Poland!(new market)

Hi Dr. Harnet! I first heard about you from Oshay Duke Jackson! He speaks so well about you. Most recently, it was the Most High that turned me on to you. APTTMHY. I kept saying to myself that I need business training and I need training for the African markets especially since I want to invest and do business there. I hope you will be offering classes soon. Can you do a more current video on the High/Low risk countries based on the current market changes? Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.

This is very business educational more so the mistake of selling to the poor, its so frustrating..they love credit business yet are poor at paying due to their low incomes

Thanks for all your videos. It's really helping. It's a shame you don't have 1M subscribers but that's just the way it this... i guess.

Valuable advice , where does one find your e-book?

Thanks Dr. Harnet for sharing this. I like #8. Another aspect of it is that success in one country does not guarantee you success in another African country. For instance many successful South African businesses have failed in Kenya. From Nandos, Shoprite, Castle Breweries, Builder's Warehouse etc. Each country is unique and some countries are similar than others. Sometimes even neighbouring countries with shared history could be vastly different business wise. Tanzania and Kenya could be very close culturally but very different business wise. Rwanda and Mauritius may have so much in common business wise but very culturally different.

A real operator. I have your book.

Thank you for the advice and information. I would like to DM on some advice on investing in Rwanda for a start. Thank you.

Thank you Dr. Harnet. I enjoy the wisdom and invaluable knowledge that you share with the world about starting and/or running a business in the continent of Africa. What would be your advice for someone looking to start a shoestring business in the IT field such as web design and/or SEO (search engine optimization)?

Please host another US event! The last one in NY a few years ago was amazing

Asante for the words of wisdom. I am based in Mauritius. I am emotionally attracted by the east side of the mainland. I have various skills and I feel the need to invest in something. I have built an animal hospital that is doing marvelously well that I wish to duplicate in various locations. I have been observing and finding other sectors where chances for success seems high. I have no one to discuss with :(

Can you please do a video on Risk - Opportunity Ratio?

4:18 - I'm curious about how the different categories of low risk/high opp or low risk/low opp are measured. Could you tell me more about the metrics used to measure risk and opportunity? Thanks!

Which african countries fit in the four different zones you mentioned? Any links to any document that discusses this?

I can’t seem to find the link the download the book

How do I subscribe to the newsletter please, the link isn’t working anymore

Did you do a risk opportunity matrix video?

That's me juggling in many businesses

What do you think the risk/opportunity ratio is in Ethiopia ? High risk high opportunity?

My mistake was not having basic knowledge of the law around my business. It costed me alot of money and stress.

Hi Dr Harnet, how can i contact you please? Thank you for insights

I really want to start a business between Africans

Dr. Harnet I Appreciate your input please how can I get in touch with you. I am from the African living State and will like to start a Business in Ghana or Rwanda I Want your help please. Thank

I will like to start a business i nied more information & how can i contract you

I've been in Kigali for nearly a year now, my biggest struggle has been finding partners. I'm going to do what you suggested in one of your older videos and find strategic partners and pay them $5k for each real estate impact investor they send my way. I might also join your real estate program in a few weeks and maybe work out a deal with you as well :) Good day.

Hi Dr Harnet, I'm always happy to listen to your KZfaq videos & feel motivated to help you succeed in your mission to elucidate Africa to others to help dispel the notion that Africa is an unfathomable, back-of-beyond dark continent. And to add to the advice you give in this video, may I suggest that as a rule of thumb & especially to mitigate the risks of failure when going into business in an unchartered territory, it could be a good idea to segment a business enterprise into 3 as follows: 1) short-term business enterprise where the profits can be immediate or come in in the short term, 2) middle-term business enterprise where the profits are expected in the middle term, 3) long-term business where the profits come in in the long term. I believe that investing one's money in the 3 types of business enterprise as mentioned above i.e. using a "pick and choose" method to spread out one's investment instead of putting all of one's eggs in one basket could be a good formula for success. More precisely, after a careful evaluation of the dynamics at play in Africa, I've identified a number of businesses that could bring a good return on investment for African-Americans wanting to invest in Africa viz. a) tourism that caters for a Diasporan clientele. By pooling together their investment, African-Americans could build tourist lodges in various African countries, of course after having first scouted a number of countries & identified suitable locations for such lodges & negotiated with the authorities. A number of tourist lodge models come to mind among which the Kenyan tourist lodge model & even the New Jersey style Patel motel model could be implemented in Africa to cater for African-American tourists, who I'm pretty sure would like to visit the continent of their ancestors in droves if budget tourist facilities are made available to them. In short, a budget tourist machinery catering for African- Americans & other Diasporans wishing to visit Africa can be a money spinner! b) another business model that can make African-Americans money in Africa is the transformation & commercialisation of African raw materials. A good example is provided by Thaumatin, that African fruit reputed to be about 2000 times more sugary than sugar/sucrose, in fact, some years ago was selling for about 8000 dollars a kilo. Check out the information on this website: www.essentialbaits.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3_21&products_id=69&zenid=pu5pcmrboo5ga04bkigbo2o0u6 Another example is buying gold, diamond semi precious stones from African mines/sources and using these to make exquisite jewellery based on designs from rich aristocrats & selling this jewellery to them and to other VIPs 😂 In fact, Akon, the musician has recently invested in mining in Congo DRC and could help secure gold & diamonds from that country. Not to mention that both Congo DRC and Zambia are awash in malakite a by product from copper of which the 2 countries are leading supplies. However, unlike copper, their malakite is still waiting to be commercialized big time & I'm very sure that malakite objects, accessories & whatnots can find a big market in the US. I'll stop here & wait for people to contact me through Dr Harnet if they need someone like me to be their consultant/pathfinder in relation to Africa, a role that I believe I can share with Dr Harnet😂 I'm originally from Ghana, where we do a lot of African Studies which explains my depth of knowledge about Africa.

Dr.Harnet thank you for this very good video today. I need to know what it takes and do I have to do business with the various countries of the continent and not make costly mistakes and what to expect or actions that indeed one would need to take to be successful. I would like to pick electronics and science and technology and teach there or herbal medicines importation and export some things from America that would be needed there. So you have an opinion as to what country or countries would be best to do these types of businesses with? Please let us know all that you can culturally what to know and expect and perhaps the cost involved and is prohibited or exempt from importation or exportation. Peace!

I need to sign up but I cannot find a link .African business jump starter .

How to contact you

There is absolutely one thing she didnt mention in here talk. Do not hire family and relative to run your business. Remember to hire people that be accountable to you and your business as opposed to people who you are emotionally connected to. If you cant take them to court, then you cant hire such.

Hi Dr. Harnet, are the counties on your High Risk - Low Risk, High Opportunity - Low Opportunity African Countries' quadrant chart still the same or does the chart require updating for 2023? Thank you.

How can I get your contact and talk with you?😊

I have plan to move to Rwandan could I contact you am Eritrean DR.harnet

Why are you only open to diaspora? I am not, but I love Africa and really interested in doing business in Africa.

What confuses me is that you talk about Africa as its 1 country while is 55 countries which each have ppl with different mentalities, different ways to do things, different ways to understand things, etc etc

Hi Dr Harnet, how can I get in touch with you.

I wish I could pay her for a consultation. Im a Black American, and I own a call center. I've been in business for 10 years. They take calls for a regional telecommunications carrier here in the states I have agents in Nigeria, Kenya, and Egypt. I also have data entry services in my center and I've hired 20 agents in Ghana in that position. I pay my agents $8USD an hour, they work 40 hours a week, I pay them every week, I offer 2 week paid Vacation time off, and I offer up to 6 months of paid time off for emergencies. And I send them all the technical equipment they need. Its been 2 years since I've been in business in Africa and profits are good and I want to hire in South Sudan, I wonder if she would know how to make connections in South Sudan?

Your are beautiful ❤❤

Africa has got 54 countries and you keep on referring to it as a single country. We in South Africa and the conditions of you doing business in South Africa are not the same. Africa is different country by country.
