External obstacles are often beyond our immediate control but can be managed with strategic planning and resourcefulness. For us entrepreneurs, these can include lack of funding, market competition, regulatory challenges and limited access to networks and resources.
Lack of funding is a common challenge for many entrepreneurs in Zimbabwe. To overcome this, explore various financing options such as venture capital, angel investors, crowdfunding, or bootstrapping. Developing a solid business plan and pitch can also attract potential investors.
Market competition can be intense, but it also presents opportunities for differentiation. Conduct thorough market research to understand your competitors and identify gaps in the market that your business can fill. Innovate and offer unique value propositions to stand out.
Regulatory challenges may seem daunting, but staying informed about industry regulations and compliance requirements can help you navigate these obstacles. Seek advice and engage with industry associations to stay updated and advocate for favourable policies.
