“You have to believe in your dream because if you don’t then nobody else will. Jump into your business with no hesitation,” Carel Mukongo advises. “I remember when I first came out with my cup idea, people weren’t really open to spending $2 or $3 on a Styrofoam cup. But I kept applying the pressure and now my cups are international.”

Mukongo hosted numerous one-to-one mentoring sessions about stocks and the expectations of being an investor, the goods and the bad. His clients ranged from people in Brooklyn, USA, to Australia.
