    Episode 9: Synergies in the agricultural sector between the African & European Markets

    Agriculture constitutes a significant portion of the economies of all African countries, and as a sector, it contributes towards major priorities across the continent, such as eradicating poverty and hunger, boosting intra-Africa trade and investments, rapid industrialization and economic diversification, sustainable resource and management, creating jobs, and fosters shared prosperity. The sector provides the continent with a huge potential to feed itself and eliminate hunger and food security, but also a major player in global food markets. This is where Bourgeon Agricultural Company comes in. The Nigeria-based integrated agricultural company has operational networks in the Benelux, Germany and other parts of Eastern Europe. The goal of the company is to fill in the gap between food production in Africa and the growing population of the continent. The company connects producers and consumers of agricultural produce within through various services that include cultivation, trading, processing, storage and distribution. On this episode of Empact Mindset, my guest is Christelle van Amsterdam. She is Senior Business Development Consultant at Bourgeon Agricultural Company (Nigeria). Before then, she served as Information Technology Recruitment Consultant at the FSM Group and various other roles both in sales, recruitment and business development. On this episode, Christelle shares her insights on agricultural innovation as well as her experiences and journey as an entrepreneur.

    Episode 6: Business Plan vs Business Model

    There are times it seems there is debate as to whether to set up a business plan or business model. This is not an argument to be had. Both are useful and offer different but complementary possibilities. Both provide a solid start to the entrepreneurial initiative and of course depend on the requirements needed. In brief, the business model is a blueprint document, providing a pathway to running the business, while a business plan is a roadmap. I offer some pointers as to the differences and necessity of both in this episode.

    Episode 2: Building the Entrepreneurial Mindset: Tips & Tools

    This episode provides a few pointers on entrepreneurship and the entrepreneurial mindset. We often think of entrepreneurship as something we do rather than a way of thinking. We think that it's simply an initiative that we take for generating revenue or business initiative that you undertake, but entrepreneurship goes beyond business. Entrepreneurship is a way of thinking. It is a way of harnessing your skills and abilities to add value to any kind of initiative you are engaged in or even in general in daily life. In other words, how could you be innovative in improving the flooring in your home or even in finding different ways of travelling to work or even contemplating different ways that we live our daily life? And so entrepreneurship really goes beyond the short term thinking of profit-making and business. We would actually think of entrepreneurship even within the government. For example, how can the government be more innovative in generating revenue for public services, public works and everything else that has to do with improving the community? And so entrepreneurship and the entrepreneurial mindset goes beyond simply making money. It's really that way of life. It's really a way of thinking. It's really a way of adding value to the processes that we engage in. This episode presents some key tips and tools you will find useful.
