Meet the incredible entrepreneur; Denis Mukungu

Denis Mukungu is the co/founder and CEO Eastern TraveLouge: a tours and travel firm that offers unrivaled transformation through travel and tour experiences across Uganda. For any entrepreneur to succeed, there must be key attributes they possess and in this article, i precisely share attributes i have learnt in observing Denis’ work. Dedication This is what motivates the entrepreneur to work hard, 12 hours a day or more, even seven days a week, to get the endeavor off the ground. Denis shows an incredible art of dedication to his craft that you can never imagine. Determination This is the extreme strong desire to achieve success. It includes persistence and the ability to bounce back after rough times. It persuades the entrepreneur to make the 10th phone call, after nine yielded nothing. Of course we can’t assume things are always smooth for him, but the way he consistently puts his brand up is nothing but sheer determination.

This is not the most interesting part about Martin though. Martin is not just a digital enthusiast but an icon in creating digital solutions for communities. Conventionally a community is a gathering of people (most times sharing same language, values and beliefs), but in this digital era it is so easy to bring unlike-minded people from diverse corners of the world to have a platform that liken their minds and cause. Digital communities enable humanity from diverse locations to have a chance to improve their access to information, enhance their personal and professional growth and also help in creating networks of impact from wherever they are.

We cannot talk about all this without having Martin as the feature face of such trends that are transforming
