Speaking during the awards gala, the President of the Tanzania Private Sector Foundation (TPSF) Angelina Ngalula, pointed out that one of the key reasons many women fail in business is their tendency to manage multiple businesses at once.
“Businesses do not grow because some people open many ventures simultaneously, making it difficult to properly manage them. Eventually, you lose focus because you are spending money without a clear plan,” she explained.
