In our latest episode of Mindset To Startup Reflection Sessions, we had the privilege of sitting down with Akram Eladwy, a seasoned community associate with VC4Africa. Akram reflected on the challenges he faced, the setbacks he encountered, and the invaluable lessons he learned along the way. At the heart of our conversation was a powerful quote from Mindset To Startup that resonated deeply with Akram:
"Successful moments are the result of many unsuccessful attempts combined with patience and determination. Let that journey of patience and determination be the determining factor of your self-validation! Define yourself by how hard you were hit and how you decided to stand up and keep fighting — every time!" (Chapter 3, page 52).
Akram's reflections on this quote were nothing short of inspiring. He shared how each obstacle he faced became an opportunity for growth, how every failure fueled his determination to keep pushing forward, and how patience became his greatest ally in the world of venture capital.
