			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I got a scary email today from a student at Carnegie Melon University:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Please direct me to where I can get info about how you managed to make it as an <a href="http://www.vinnylingham.com/2006/11/african-ict-achiever-awards.html">entrepreneur in Africa</a> at a time when there aren&#8217;t so many.&#8221;
</p></blockquote>
<p>Firstly, there are thousands of entrepreneurs in Africa &#8211; I know more than I can count on all my fingers and toes!  Also, organizations such as <a href="http://www.endeavor.org">Endeavor.org</a> are greatly assisting entrepreneurship in this part of the world.  South Africa is growing at about 6% per annum &#8211; our infrastructure can&#8217;t keep up and we&#8217;re on our way to hosting the 2010 World Cup Soccer &#8211; a spectacular honor!  To believe that there &#8220;aren&#8217;t so many&#8221; entrepreneurs in Africa is very myopic!</p>
<p>The following video is an all-time YouTube favourite of mine &#8211; I wish there was one that included South Africa &#8211; maybe I&#8217;ll put one together sometime &#8211; but regardless, Globalization if upon us, so enjoy!</p>
