Do people actually pay those rates?

I attended yesterday, was my 2nd session.
Being an old time Wazua member I was familiar with most of what they have taught for the last 2 days. We all seem to know what to do to make money or save.....problem is TECHNIQUE.
They teach you simple/everyday ways in which you can save and use the saved amount to invest in compounding revenue streams.Most of us even in Wazua are waiting for that day when you will get 500K or 1M or 2M to invest in your dream project.

Anyway, I will update as I get closer to week 11. I also noticed that 80% of my class are ladies/women, I am not sure why.

This Centonomy team is doing a great job - trying to provide financial information that guides people towards a financially secure future. Before you harshly judge them, please browse/read through their web site at this --link-- Very impressive.

Also read today's Saturday Daily Nation Magazine page 17 on an informative article titled "Redefine your Idea of retirement" by Centonomy. Let us give credit where its well deserved.

I think it at times comes down to crowd mentality, ladies are more likely to influence their friends and prefer doing things in groups - lakini for majority ya wanaume - the thing has to make sense to them first before trying out, especially when it comes to matters that do not have a tangible effect, those that are more psychological e.g religion and money making classes.

Financial advisers give actionable information that may lead to financial success - but no guarantee that they can fix anyone's financial issues. I see Waceke and her Centonomy team tying to propagate financial knowledge that is widely taught at a premium by financial experts like Dave Ramsey, Suze Orman, Tony Robbins, Jean Chatzky among others. Financial Information that most of us are unaware of or unable to get in an organized manner. Is it fair for Centonomy team to charge a few thousand shillings for a course that is taught by multi millionaires elsewhere at a premium fee?

is what wazua Mwalimu Marty has been teaching comparable

After going through the Centonomy youtube channel. I think there is a place for such courses in Nairobi. My mrs is in one of the classes and she has already become very conscious of money so far. The fact that they do it continuously over 10 weeks helps to reinforce the message and hopefully make the change of habits easier..
