#81 Mozambique: AK-47 Flag | Rich Resources, Poor Reality | Supply Chain, Tourism

Country that has an AK-47 Gun on the flag – What does that tell you about its people? Let's find out. Joining us is Stella Jaqueta, a supply chain professional based in Mozambique. We delve into the paradox of possessing mineral riches yet ranking as one of the world's most impoverished nations. We also discuss how Coca-Cola and FMCG brands have managed to permeate even the remotest rural markets. Additionally, we provide insights into tourist attractions in Mozambique. This fledgling nation achieved its independence from Portugal quite recently.

Thats indecision. The worst type of Risk. So, Just do it. Make the decision. If you dont, here is what Napoleon Hill said in his famous book 'Think and Grow Rich':

Indecision is the seedling of fear! Remember this, as you read. Indecision crystalizes into doubt, the two blend and become fear!
