This is a short YouTube-video transcript of a motivational talk by Nataliey Bitature offering direct advice to women in Uganda who want to start or run businesses. The speaker emphasizes resilience, consistency, visibility, building a supportive network, ignoring naysayers, speaking up about your product/service, and not giving up—framed as practical, morale-boosting imperatives for a difficult entrepreneurial path.
My advice for women in Uganda who want to succeed in business is don't give up and don't be quiet. You need to be resilient, you need to have consistency and you need to be visible. Don't listen to people who are telling you you can't do it. Make sure you ignore all the naysayers. It's hard to start a business and it's even harder as a woman. So it's going to be a long, difficult road, but it's totally worth it. You just have to make sure that you stay strong. Make sure you have a supportive system around you and you surround yourself with people who agree with what you're doing and encourage you and drive you more because they're going to be a lot of hard days. Just don't be quiet about it. Don't let people shut you down or keep you quiet until you not to do what you want to do. Make sure you stay strong and you stay striving and you don't be quiet. Make sure you speak up and that people know about your business, about your product or your service, that you're constantly speaking about it. Make sure that you speak up and you don't give up.
