I am pro Africa, I know that as a people, we are capable of moving our continent forward. However we can only do this with the right mind set. I will inspire and challenge you to pursue your dreams and contribute to the development of our continent Africa

Watched this video all the way to the end and learned WAY too much about Princess Umul's personal life and NOTHING about selling to investors...

[@MariMaea]

OK, on my next pitch to investors I'll put photos of me on my presentations :D

[@sandervanhalsem6389]

Thank you for wasting my time Princess Umul! I learned a lot about YOU!

[@gwin8463]

People buy people! Woah, this just opened a door of boundless opportunities

[@rawg2277]

I hae never disliked a video since i discovered youtube but this i had to, you could have atleast used the points u mentioned here to define your concept.

[@Craftspenguin]

The princess was sharing her unique insights ... of personal success, to undeserving commeners. Most of them are still ignorent of the subject, after listening the prophetic message, just like me.

[@princehmg]

Pls explain number 3 pls I missed out on what traveling has to do with pitching the idea to investors

[@giftfamous9515]

She was just trying to explain the passion point

[@yashbhuse6462]

TEDx don't upload these types of comedy🤣🤣🤣😂😭😭😭

[@damarvelus]

this is call how to travel like me

[@jasonisaacs0202]

She was talking about herself to show how to sell yourself in my opinion but also came off as bragging, though it does take a lot of courage to speak on stage so yes she needs to work on herself but hey you all here because you too need to work on yourself so if you learnt something be thankful, take it and apply it to your life.

[@princekwamiso]

This is a disastrous presentation. I got lost along the way. The title doesn't match the presentation. At the end of the presentation, I still remember your pictures and your trophy of being the first Ghanaian to bungee jump in New Zealand. Wow! I guess your business is in the tour industry. That's more fitting.

[@kach6473]

😂😂😂😂

[@khaledalhasan209]

How to bring investors to your idea, simply just share your Instagram page, Investors: your bank account please 🙏

[@kach6473]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@thedingo8833]

Oh my God, I feel like I’m sitting in someone’s living room watching their whole movies🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🙆🏻

[@Tomahawk1999]

great thought that people buy people before they buy ideas

[@emmanueldasilva9208]

Well I guess she failed at selling her idea. Never said the 5 things we need to sell our business ideas. Epic fail.

[@zastrajivagaming5357]

People buy people first…..This is me.. this is me … this is me…. this is also me… and then EXIT 😂🤣😂🤣 again before leaving one important point PEOPLE BY PEOPLE.. finally she takes off 🛫 😂😂🤣

[@tonyp2632]

For someone trying to explain how to sell yourself she did a really poor job of selling herself.

[@heldertthelot7219]

tony p ur lack of understanding does NOT define the message at large. It was fundamentally easy to comprehend and yet u did NOT. ur intelligence is less than average I assure u lol

[@HRashid]

mmmm, she was talking about her self more than anything !!

[@tellbinteam2077]

So true man ....

[@gwin8463]

People buy people!

[@amponsahaugustine2481]

Fantastic episode Amponsah from Ghana

[@Cr7Messiunited]

See, people with money aren't necessarily smart ;)

[@derealfrancismore3318]

[@uzbabo]

[@moonlightdragon14]

[@heldertthelot7219]

[@who_is_oni]

[@DineoDowd]

[@shikyshaky1]

[@ladydiana1196]

🙄🙄 didnt cm here to knw Hw many countries you have been to and see ur pictures... Obviously click bait... Very poor performance

[@caenterprisellc6922]

Since I've been made aware, I honestly don't go around telling people I'm a Turkish princess with middle eastern and African American decent which so happen to be related to Greek and/or Roman temples and the heir of Abraham and born in America. I just don't tell people. Those are God's blessings. I'm here to serve.

[@Sasscat58]

Her travel diary

[@noni828]

This was brilliant, thank you for sharing!!!!

[@jaredbaten2308]

Great Video!!!!

[@tellbinteam2077]

the whole thing seems staged, no reality.. like the presentation was scripted

[@princeehirim9834]

Wasted my time watching this, this video should be named - my passion for travel or something.

[@ChoeneNkoana]

What is this???

[@badisamoune3893]

You're totally wrong miss. Investors and manufacturers do buy ideas without you putting your money into them. If you want information on that, I'll teach you without giving me any money.

[@kach6473]

I’d like to learn please

[@shayneal8886]

Excellent Young Lady! 🌹

[@injusticefreerkelly4114]
