Major African online hotel booking platform Jovago.com says innovation is an essential tool for entrepreneurial success. At the recently held MTN Link Forum in Lagos, the Managing Director of Jovago.com, Marek Zmyslowski made a presentation where he educated budding entrepreneurs on the basic innovative tools that will guarantee success in their businesses. Some of the necessary requirements, according to Zmyslowski, include being persistent, productive and critical. He also encouraged the entrepreneurs at the forum to master the art of delegation and to create project lists that can easily be referred to, as this would help to make them more efficient. MTN Link Forum provides opportunities for small business owners to interact with and learn from the experiences of established business men. According to Kola Oyeyemi, who is the MTN General Manager, Consuming Marketing, many young Nigerians want to start and grow their businesses but do not know how to go about it and those who try without proper knowledge end up experiencing losses. “It is in recognition of this, that MTN created the Link Forum as a solution to address this challenge.” “For an entrepreneur, one of the most critical responsibilities is to delegate and follow up on assigned project managers effectively,” said Marek Zmyslowki, Managing Director of Jovago Nigeria. “Therefore it is very important for entrepreneurs to use tools such as Nozbe to keep themselves and their teams better organised.”
