The few that make it are the ones that can make a plan, take a job from A to Z and get it done quickly and elegantly. The problem with growing up in a poor country like Kenya is that most people have a scarcity mentality. They think that the only way to make it is through some monkey business like stealing govt money, drugs, "devil" worship or something superstitious/illegal/immoral. So they sit back and watch foreigners come to their country and show them how to get things done. First step to success is get rid of the scarcity mentality. This country has enough resources to enable every citizen have a high standard of life. Second step take responsibility for yourself - stop blaming others for your plight. Next realize that you have a lot of resources lying dormant around you. Next, get things done, convert opportunities into profits. Use your brain and don't be so lazy.

Hey, honestly, you sound like you're dreaming, the reality is far from what you're implying.... "get things done?" It's more complex than that bro, I doubt if you've ever done anything outside of going to school because once you get out of school and start a business or get your first job then you'll understand how complex this things are.

I'm not only out of school but have quite a few people working for me. I'll leave you with a quote by T.E. Lawrence – “All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream in the dark recesses of the night awake in the day to find all was vanity. But the dreamers of day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams with open eyes, and make it possible.” You should check out this article - http://vulcanpost.com/77...-still-poor-35-deserve/

I am doing very well myself, atleast thats what people think.

Just seen this thread. I'm in the insurance business and around 200 - 300 of our agents make at least over Ksh.100k in commissions every month. When you compare that with the number of agents we have ( just around 2,000 agents) then that figure of 15,000 sounds feasible. I was surprised to find out from the Haas Consult property survey that there are only 20,000 mortgages being serviced in Kenya - I thought it was a typo and that they meant 200,000! Just goes to show you the disparity there is in this country... BEER IS LIVING PROOF THAT GOD LOVES US AND WANTS US TO BE HAPPY!

Hey, in your insurance business, are these agents earning over Ksh100k in commissions per month because they bring in new clients per month or they earn the commissions on monthly premiums paid? or Even if they don't bring in any new clients?
