Entrepreneurs have now remodeled their businesses which have made these entrepreneurs successful, he said.
Commenting on the launch of the of McDan second Challenge, he described the challenge to be more innovative this time around than the first challenge.
“I see more innovation in the second challenge than the first one. There are more of different dynamics in the second season. The contestants in the second season are more determined and serious.
“When we started this challenge a lot of people taught it was a joke but after they saw what happened in the first season, and what is really happening in the lives of the contestants, it has become very competitive now”.
He explained that, the contestants in the challenge will not be measured with drive and innovation only but based on their attitude too. To become a successful person, he said, is about determination and consistency.
