Experts say Ugandans are the most enterprising and usually come up with beautiful business ideas but most businesses do not last for even a year.

Rita Nyadoi recently started a salon simply because she saw her friends earning big in salon business and she thought she would join them and become rich. To her surprise, things didn't go as she expected.

She didn't research about the business and even when she started she seemed not to be so interested in knowing what was going on. She left it to the employees and by the time she got to know that she had to directly get involved in her business, a lot of money had been lost.

 

Today she regrets and she has decided to venture in things she is passionate about. She now owns a makeup shop and is happy about it.

Experts say Ugandans are the most enterprising and usually come up with beautiful business ideas but most businesses do not last for even a year.
