You probably stumbled on these 25 Dangote quotes that will motivate you, or you are just a fan of wealthy men (like Dangote) and their insights. Then, you are in the right place. Take a seat, get familiar with my tone and let’s get you motivated!
I think it’s safe to say that everyone is definitely going to be psyched to sit with a millionaire,(talk more of a billionaire) get to talk about what ticks their finances, their attitude with money and fame, how they do it, and tips sprinkled here and there. As a side package also, you might fancy being sent on your way with hampers and cash in an envelope, or even a written cheque. At the end of the day, the snacks and food items in the big hamper get exhausted and the money, you probably used to buy yourself new sets of clothes. What remains is the insight that has been shared with you. You might want to put that into practice. You might start to think, “if it worked for them, then I can learn something from it” and trust me, that’s brilliant!
There are gazillions of billionaires, rich and wealthy people but in this article (as you already guessed from the title), I’ll settle on sharing Dangote quotes that will certainly motivate you. Dangote is 64 years old, the chief executive officer of The Dangote Group, and the richest man in Africa. Yes, you saw right. His net worth is about $13.5 billion as of the beginning of this year.
Over the years, he has bagged experience and money, his quotes are definitely something to think about.
Just like our parent’s generation would say, “experience is the best teacher”, people with experience in a sector are the best teachers. They are there to motivate you and me, which is why Dangote’s sayings are one I hold dear to heart as it is filled with experience and motivations.
Before sharing this wealthy man’s sayings, You have found your purpose? But do you have the tenacity of purpose?
Tenacity has several synonyms which include; determination, diligence, persistence, doggedness, and more. They all interpret it as never giving up or never stopping at trying.
While purpose is a person’s sense of resolve or determination. A combination of these words equates to being dogged with one’s purpose. If you are struggling with what your purpose is, you should check out these quotes that were made for you to read.
These Dangote quotes that I’ll be sharing with you real soon is a start, a push even, to building your tenacity of purpose.
Let’s go!
“In the journey to success, tenacity of purpose is supreme.”
“Don’t kill the competition. Competition is healthy for businesses. It keeps you the entrepreneur on your toes.”

“The number one thing that kills businesses in Africa is power – or the lack of power.”
“If I had challenges in my company, I would not hesitate to sell assets to remain afloat, to get to the better times, because it doesn’t make any sense for me to keep any assets and then suffocate the whole organization.”
“I always tried to move up the food chain. I started with cement and then moved into textiles and banking. When I was trading sugar, I added salt and flour so that we could do pasta. And then I thought, why not make the bag for it, too? So, we started making packaging”
“If people look inward, they will see the opportunities for greatness.”
“Exercise is better than any medicine I can take; exercise and sleep.”
