Zaccheus Akinadewo: Building Entrepreneurship on Faith, Grit, Reinvention
He left a decade-long corporate career because, he says, God instructed him to go. What followed was a failed partnership, financial hardship, a car sold to fund ministry, a family
Zaccheus Akinadewo, now the Managing Director of Graza Media Limited, embarked on an entrepreneurial journey after leaving his decade-long corporate career and church service. He claims that he was instructed by God to leave both, a decision that marked the beginning of his journey.
His entrepreneurial journey faced numerous setbacks, including failed partnerships, financial hardships, and family struggles. In one instance, he sold his car to fund the family's needs and to secure land for his church. However, the land owner objected to the sale, resulting in a police matter.
Despite these challenges, Akinadewo remained committed to his faith and business. He took time to grow spiritually, studying, praying, and attending retreats. He also learned valuable lessons on trust, forgiveness, and the importance of documenting agreements. Through it all, his wife remained by his side, supporting him emotionally and financially during the darkest periods.
