Tony Elumelu, chairman of Heirs Holdings and founder of the Tony Elumelu Foundation, discusses his path to success in an interview with YouTuber Korty EO.

He describes “luck” as a factor that can influence outcomes even for people who are capable or diligent. Elumelu attributes his achievements to a combination of hard work over the years and timing or opportunity, arguing that at times people do not become successful because they are the best in their field or the most physically fit or energetic.

Still, Elumelu also emphasizes that success involves challenges and urges aspiring entrepreneurs to stay determined and persist despite obstacles.
