Tanzanians have been warned that unless they change their attitude, they are likely to lose in the East African Common Market set to become operational in July this year.
 
  Some regional analysts believe that Tanzania would be left behind by their counterparts in the regional bloc because they lack the necessary business skills and some also lack confidence.
 
Key officials from both the public and private sectors have warned  that many Tanzanians are not aggressive enough in business compared to their counterparts in the region.
 
They said with the coming into force of the EA Common Market, Tanzania could be left behind by Kenya, the region's economic powerhouse as well as tiny Rwanda and Uganda in tapping the potentials of the regional market.
