Olubunmi Akinyemi takes great pleasure in helping other entrepreneurs get their start. As the founder of CompuSolve, an IT procurement, consulting, and technology management business based in Abuja, Nigeria (Akinyemi grew up in Ibadan, Nigeria), he had to work extremely hard to secure funding, clients, and responsible employees. He also had to spend many hours planning and setting his goals up for success in the sectors CompuSolve was going into. Akinyemi then moved to Atlanta, Georgia to start another business. In 2012, he founded Jungle Fitness, a full-service personal training company.
Olubunmi Akinyemi learned many lessons from mistakes he has made over the years in business. The one thing he felt he had to do to be successful is to never linger on missed opportunities. The more entrepreneurs look back and try to break down their failures, the more they linger on them and let them affect their future performance and decision-making. Entrepreneurs should always analyze their past moves and decisions to learn from them, but beyond that, they shouldn’t let them cloud their future judgment. Olubunmi Akinyemi has managed to keep his business in Atlanta afloat because he constantly looks ahead for the next opportunity. Past mistakes should only be viewed in the context of helping entrepreneurs take advantage of new opportunities.
Olubunmi Akinyemi has long afforded himself new opportunities by learning from his mistakes and finding better avenues going forward. He strives to make his company better for the sake of his investors, his clients, and his employees.
