I am impressed.

Okay, I am jealous.

Welcome to the Virtual Republic of Wazua.

What are you studying if I may ask?

Yes.

Of your entrepreneurial energy at such an interesting age.

You are about to receive a lot of hot air and "analysis" from other citizens starting from Monday when they get to their offices.

Do not be discouraged or waste time dancing with them.

My only advice: Concentrate on two ventures you can manage alone, intricate book keeping and your academics.

Consider no business operation as complete until each feature is entered into your books each day. Let these entries determine how your business is doing. Not your gut instinct.

Entrusting anything to underlings is an invitation to losing your hard earned cash. Trust no one. No one.

Also, put most of your profits into the Nairobi Securities Exchange shares. They are very cheap at the moment.

@Karoki are you paying your own university fee? If you are, go ahead and do all kind of business that you wish.

Are you being sponsored by your parents? If so just show them some respect, complete your studies then do whatever you want to afterwards.

From my experience guys who take business or politics too seriously in campus end up as perpetual students or small time hustlers after campus.

interesting, my take might be the odd one here, but at 19 and in campus, don't load yourself with too much money making ventures, you only get to be young once.
If you think the biashara has good chances of growing, then my take would be postpone the studies for like a year go full time into it and see how that works, but that is just me.

Add Moi Uni main campus to your list.

Jameni, when will the mwanafunzi study if you are advising him to run a business 400km away? Let him concentrate on his studies. A good education is the best investment.

True. Everyone starts somewhere.

Good idea you have. I agree with Mahegoat, trust no one. Run what you can under your direct supervision. Once people learn of your idea, they will copy it in other campuses and if you are not there to supervise in your other 'branches', you will only get frustrated.

Get a degree under your belt; it is always good to have an educational foundation that you can fall back on.

All the best

Good morning Tiger, how is business?

You need three girlfriends.

Correction, your business needs two girlfriends and your academics needs one too.

Girlfriend 1, call her Beyoncé, will be your Business Unit One Accountant. She will also be your Business Unit Two Auditor.

Girlfriend 2, call her Shakira, will be your Business Unit Two Accountant. She will also be your Business One Auditor.

Both these girls will be students in your campus but both should be pursuing a bachelor’s degree in commerce with accounting options.

Girlfriend 3, call her Rihanna, will be a colleague student in your class. She will be a “swot”. She will make sure you study, pass your examinations, and get your degree. She will make sure you attend class, take your notes, and sit your continuous assessment tests. You will study together and keep up with her. She will be your partner in your academics.

As part of your relationships, you will prepare each business unit’s accounts, probably in an Excel worksheet, and give Beyoncé accounts for unit one. She will proceed to prepare these accounts in requisite formats and give them back to you.

You will proceed to give this new version to Shakira and ask her to audit them and make any enhancements or corrections she deems due.

Conversely, do the same for Business Unit 2 and give the raw worksheet to Shakira and her formatted worksheet to Beyoncé for auditing, corrections, and enhancements.

This will go on for as long as you will be a student at your university. Your dates will consist of discussions about the respective business units and corrections the respective auditor will bring up.

Whatever happens, do not let any of girls know she is auditing the other’s accounts.

Pay particular and close attention when any of these girls catch feelings and start to “kṹbogotha” about figures or any aspect of the accounting unit they are auditing. Their “kṹbogotharing” will produce gems of business brilliance.

You will pay for this through paying for these girlfriends’ upkeep. Pamper them. Let them wear the latest trends and have their hair done at least once a week. You will not be doing this for yourself. You will be doing this for your business.

Okay. There will be eeeeee coitus but let us not take this thread to the Greens, shall we?

Basically that's "basic formalities". If I met an investor today. That's what I would introduce myself as.
And since i'm addressing professionals as well,might be important to state that.
Thanks tho.
