I started my business straight from NYSC Camp, without even compiling my CV- CEO Burgundydieseno

By Kemi Mobuse - Tuesday, March 29, 2016


Having a passion that burns brightly enough to make you restless is a must have in business, because most tomes, there is no guarantee that your business will start generating money immediately. 

When the passion is all you have, you realize eventually , that, money comes last, as its the passion that motivates and push you to be better , especially when things are not going as well as you hoped.

I came across Nnenna Chukwueggu's beautiful pillows on Instagram, and i can tell you, it was love at first sight for me, trust me, to activate my ' gbeborun " mode and went after her with lightning speed, guess she fell for my charm and obliged me an interview....
