African entrepreneurs are being encouraged to adopt bold business strategies, leverage international partnerships, and implement high-performance systems to accelerate wealth creation and drive sustainable economic growth across the continent.
This call to action was a central theme at the inaugural Africa 10X Business Summit, held in Abuja, Nigeria, which brought together business leaders, innovators, and entrepreneurs from across Africa and the world. The summit marked a significant milestone for entrepreneurship in Africa, highlighting the need for global perspectives and advanced growth strategies.
Theo Godson, the summit convener, described the event as poised to become “one of the most transformative business summits in Africa.” He emphasized the vision of nurturing a new generation of African entrepreneurs capable of scaling businesses beyond local markets and competing successfully on the international stage. Godson also stressed that the transfer of knowledge and best practices is critical for building sustainable enterprises, attracting investment, and accelerating economic transformation across African economies.
The Africa 10X Business Summit is the first in a series of multi-city empowerment events spanning major African hubs, including Abuja, Kigali, Kampala, Nairobi, Dodoma, Accra, and Lagos. Its purpose is to equip entrepreneurs, business leaders, professionals, and creatives with tools and strategies necessary to thrive in an increasingly competitive global market.
The summit’s agenda focused on world-class frameworks in sales, finance, leadership, team alignment, marketing, and scaling businesses. Attendees also gained access to Grant Cardone’s renowned $100 million playbook, delivered exclusively by Theo Godson, the only African licensed instructor of the 10X program. The globally recognized 10X Movement, pioneered by American entrepreneur Grant Cardone, emphasizes bold thinking, massive action, and high-performance systems to achieve exponential growth.
Godson underscored the importance of customer acquisition strategies, stating: “Whoever is willing to spend the most to gain a customer wins. Be intentional about your leads and prioritize action.”
Wellness coach and entrepreneur Judith Okafor highlighted the summit’s timeliness, noting that African businesses must focus on personal development, structured systems, and globally recognized leadership practices to thrive. “A drained leader loses capacity; a tired leader cannot foster a vibrant community,” she said.
Entrepreneur Sandra Grace, speaking on “Conditioning Your Mindset: Unlocking Your Subconscious Patterns for Success,” described the summit as a game-changing experience. She emphasized that the program exposes African founders to advanced growth frameworks typically reserved for mature markets, enabling them to think bigger, act faster, and position their businesses on the global stage.
The Africa 10X Business Summit signals a new era for entrepreneurial development in Africa, where global partnerships, high-performance systems, and innovative business models converge to empower the continent’s next generation of business leaders.
