From ₵1,500 street vendor to million-cedi factory owner: Why discipline beats motivation every time - and the brutal truth about pricing strategies, partnership betrayals, and the lonely path that breaks you to make you.
In this explosive episode of Konnected Minds, Felix Afutu - founder of McPhilix plantain chips - dismantles the startup fantasy keeping young African entrepreneurs trapped in waiting-for-capital cycles while real businesses get built on table tops with borrowed money. This isn't motivational business talk from Instagram gurus - it's a systematic breakdown of why a broken-home kid from Jamestown with no university degree turned ₵1,500 into Ghana's only branded plantain production company, why partnership without contracts is financial suicide, and why the future belongs to those disciplined enough to calculate profit margins in their heads while competitors chase nightclub validation.
