Very inspiring indeed.Started as a clerk at the bottom.

Its called "positioning yourself to success". When the US embassy was located at the heart of CBD, he owned the famous Green Corner restaurant. Classy it was but not so flashy, but the embassy stuff loved it - business was good. Some of those contacts have been very instrumental for him in getting the lucrative business deals at UN.

Keeping good contacts (networking) has been his greatest strength and so when the Saudi Kingdom Holding was ready to sell 75% of its holding of Mt Kenya Safari Club, Kariuki's company was ready.

Are you trying to tell me that my circle of contacts which is exclusively made up of my school mates at Ngacura DEB and Komothai Secondary will not open doors for me?

I like to hang around people who make me feel important because I can speak English and I have entered an aeroplane a few times. Are you suggesting that I need to change my ways?

There's nothing wrong with hanging out with those who make you feel important, but you also need someone who will elevate you to your greatness. Even that crowd from Ngacura can do that just position yourself to receive the greatness in them.
