So today I went to buy a tray of eggs. I met a guy I used to play basket ball with in 2003. He was buying 50 trays. So I inquired why he was buying so many eggs. He tells me he sells boiled eggs and that was his weekends stock. I accuse him of pulling my legs, well he is brave enough to show me his books and the shop owner confirmed it. He sell 70 trays Monday to Friday and sells 50 trays Friday evening to Sunday morning. Party goers buy a lot of eggs.
So this is his break down:
-1 egg is 7 bob, so a tray is 210 bob.
-kachumbari per tray cost 70 bob.
-Sells his eggs @ 20 bob, so a tray is 600bob.
Therefore this punk makes 320 bob from each tray. 320*120*4=153600 per month.
Then he has smokies which sells 650 a week. Which gives him another 6500 a week and 26k a month.
His wife on the other had cooks and sells chapatis. Her expenses are 100 bob for flour, 30 bob for oil 40 bob for charcoal. She gets a minimum of 35 chapos at 10 translating to 350 thus making 180 per packet. She is does an 12 packets a day from Monday to Sunday. She get 180*12*30=64800. She also gets a minimum of 10k per weekend for weddings, parties and functions. Therefore she gets over100k a month.
He tells me that religiously deposits 3000 daily ( which is all his egg's profit) at his equity account. The smokies easily runs his expenses with ease plus the wife pays all the bills in the house. He deals with 'big projects'.
Equity just gave him a loan to buy bakery equipment. The bakery with a capacity to bake 500 400gms loaves a day will be ran by wife while he continues to sell boiled eggs and smokies till he pays off the loan.

Akili ni mali

I disagree.Not all of us can be entreprenuers.Plus,the ones who become entreprenuers do need accountants,doctors,architects,teachers,touts,drivers etc.Each person should play his role,as long as you wake up each morning and go to work.If every one became a business owner,where will the employees come from ???

problem is when the white collar job is not available and we are not ready to consider other available options and assume the only way to make money is white collar job,That said the figures in these setup as said are more often than not based on the best case scenario. so don't be in a rush to quit your job or throw money after every other idea take time and be ready for the learning curve

This story has been shared too long on facebook.

Just try selling those eggs on wazua as a case study tuone.

Being an entreprenuer is hard my friend. Very hard. Ask me. There are still days even now when I have 0 bob in my pocket and can't expect any bob kesho.

Biachara as people are selling it is not funny.

Afadhali tenderprenuership which I want to start.
