@ Caesar –never before have I ever received such a wonderful advice. It’s been very helpful and has made me reflect and rethink my strategies for success. For this,I say thank you.

I have got and continuously get exposure in to life skills and personal development avenues. I feel what I have learnt so far is enough to establish a business now and learn the rest ‘on-job’.












Honorable members,by replying to this mail you are helping many other promising Kenyans who are facing,more or less,similar challenges. LETS BUILD THE KENYA WE WANT.

@ MuchKnow,that’s a nice one.



Hapa U.o.N.,some very enterprising women and men bring sukari nguru,mabuyu,ngumu,peanuts,smokies,ndaoz and chapatti at 5am every. To say the list,the business is flooded and the margins minimal. I also tried selling fresh juice from my room in the hostels but wasn’t viable-getting fruits from ngara market and distribution wre very taskng my last blow was when I got into trouble with school authorities.


What other idea did you have back then? Maybe you can share with us.

@willin2learn, here is your answer. my mum opened an a/c for me at NBK for 'under 18's'. there was no co-op bank in our district at that time. i may have erronously used the word jumbo account and that's subject to research. i'll let you know as soon i establish the name of the a/c.
thanks

@TONY OZ,getting an idea is n't all that it takes to build a prosperous business. i find your reply demoralizing,retrogressive and dampening the spirit of enterprise and collective reasoning.i'm sure many other upwardly mobile youths facing similar challenges echo my sentiments. you can do better than this and transform many lives.

@NANFOR, it's true that I need to grow up a bit and get (or by getting) real sources of business information. Any references please? We would gladly accept them. If they are private and confidential,drop me a line at jsaitoti@gmail.com. Help us get out of the usual Kenyan drible

An idea: what about mobile phone accessories like funky covers and other add ons that campus people might be interested in?

Hi Saitoti,

I apologise for that. I was in a foul mood.

If you want to go into business,then forget what people who are working in an office are telling you. They don't know what they are saying. That is why I call it Kenyan dribble.

Case in point,someone here wanted to run a matatu business. He got advice from everyone that it would never work. Notice that everyone who adviced him was working in an office. A few days later,someone who actually ran his own matatus showed that he could do it.

Forget about motivational speeches. If you need to be motivated to run your business,then you are in the wrong business.

My advice and reference is once you know what you want to do,forget thinking about it and just do it. That should be your motto. Fired Up,Ready to Go! can start tommorow.

Just do it! Now.

I can assure you that the best business people are those mama mbogas in Marikiti. Trust me,they make more money than all those on this site who are sitting working for someone else with a dream to one day make it.

@ saitoti!

Fired up : Ready to go!!

Well,start now! I guess you are full of energy,full of potential,adrenaline is pumping and men you cant just sleep. The desire is intense and you are consumed with passion.

Well,Nike,The shoe manufacturer has a slogan,'Just do it'. Please follow the advice! But first you've got to find a business you are passionate about.

Me for example,I run a business,Doxa Interactive Studio,www.thedoxa.net and men,I am passionate about web design,graphics design,Flash Animations. I also run a business called Doxa Capital. Now is this is the speculators playground! I am passionate about stocks! Too passionate men! So I get cash from websites,and I take it to stocks and aim at doubling it! Passion is what drive me! I love these two!

Now,to tell you to start the same,could be suicide! I dont know what you are passionate about! I dont. The desire in man is God given! The bible puts it that 'He who started the good work( I believe desire) will bring it to accomplishment'.

What are you passionate about? Farming? Art? IT? Finance? Stocks? Cars? Boxing? Politics? What ? Men,the desire is inbuilt. For sure,I am sincere,we cant think for u!

But you shall remember the LORD your God,for it is He who is giving you power to make wealth,that He may confirm His covenant which He swore to your fathers,as it is this day. Deu 8:18

@saitoti: Forget what everyone else has said! Just read, reread and reread again what nanfor has written! Then stop there and do exactly as he says!

Brilliant advise nanfor! Kudos!
