    Sim Shagaya is the founder and CEO of popular e-commerce site, Konga.com.

    We all know about the success of Konga.com but did you know that before Konga.com, there were many failures?

    Before Sim Shagaya  founded Konga,he had a dating site Alarena.com (later called Lovebase) which never really succeeded, a job placement site called JobClan.com, a classifieds site GboGbo.com and the media streaming service iNollywood.com. All of these failed but he kept going till he achieved success with his out-of-home media firm- E-Motion. After that he later found even more success with Konga.com. Keep going till you succeed.
