Originally trained as a medic, but decided to swap the comfort of the consulting room and operating theatres for the exciting but uncharted territory of owning a business(es), in the final few months of a 7yr med school programme.

I have been through 'hell' and back, which I reveal more in my book: 'The 10yr+ Overnight Success'.

Side Gigs
Started off on my university campus hosting and designing websites, repairing laptops, fixing vsat, providing small student loans on campus (sometimes secured against qualified textbooks), trading forex, building and selling desktop computers, operating airline ticket sales via a travel & tour business, owned two cybercafes.


Epiphanies
Most of the businesses I have started have all been on the back of being at the receiving end of very bitter experience or simply short-change. I have several to share, but will restrict it to a few....

My inability to get a guarantor for a ssnit student loan moved me to have some part-time businesses even whilst on campus, and used the surplus funds to setup a non-deposit taking small loans for students, which has now grown to be Quidmaster Loans.

Most landlords get away with plain fraud & deceit. My horrible unfair treatment lead me to start a property business -- DCANS Properties was borne out of such painful experiences.

The idea of Moneyafrique and DCANS Pay were planned from my Fairmont Hotel Abu Dhabi room when I got stranded with settling bills, very far away from home.


The DCANS Group Limited (TDG)
The DCANS Group registered in England & Wales is a global outfit with local presence in Europe, Asia-Pacific and Africa. The group is uniquely owned via a family office.

I remain totally God-dependent, self-reliant true adventurer born for more, but very much open to progressive collaborations, and not useless mere talkshops.
