"Distinguish yourself not by titles, but by the quality of your work."
The storm has been prepping, it's here, some have already felt it. It'll be messy.
Whoever took over power in 2022 was going to face this. Those planning to take over power in 2027, prepare more of the same!
At one time, an insurance broker came to sell me their product. I told them the same risk they want to insure me from is the exact risk I wanna take
The greatest lesson I ever received was from my grandfather: A man should always be ready to start over if he loses everything. He said this in the context of war; a reminder to live without fear and to be mentally prepared for any loss.
That is true. I even suspect this can be easily done with a little initiative
THERE IS virtually nothing we haven’t written about - we’ve said it all.
Every successful person had to go through a “delusional” phase where nobody believed in them, where they looked foolish, where they questioned themselves daily—but they kept going. That phase is required. Don’t skip it.
I actually think they're the richest community we have. Manufacturing is the best way to grow the economy and build your wealth, not tenderpreneurship, a quicksand build on political connections. The few indigenous Kenyans who try the sector create proper wealth.
When you’re an entrepreneur, no one is ever gonna tell you “good job”. It’s expected. You own the business. Get used to it. You never did it for them anyways.
I will forever preach manufacturing/production. Indians rarely get govt employment, but I believe they have the fewest unemployed tribe in Kenya. Why? they literally control the manufacturing/production sector in Kenya and with it, many jobs.
Tighten those belts:
Sometime in 2017, we had this conversation with a group of friends. This should be it. It's like a pre-qualification of sorts and should be taken 2yrs prior to eligibility for any political interests. A system that bars the mentally unfit from ever leading.
As much as we allow school drop outs and idiots to enter Bunge, we need a law which mandates them at least study a 6month governance course at Kenya School of Government. These journalists also need interview professionals, not any cow. @lawsocietykenya @NAssemblyKE @edwinsifuna
You will stop doubting yourself when you stop doubting the outcome. You will stop doubting the outcome once youve done it so many times you can’t stand it anymore. Once youve done it so many times you cant stand it anymore, you’ll be good. Then itll make sense u have no doubt.
You’re going to have to learn how to try significantly harder and longer than you expected but the payoff will bigger and different than you imagined because you realize that the money never mattered and who you become to get it was the point all along.
It’s worth becoming someone who consistently disappoints the people who secretly hope you fail.
Those that are constantly working of coming up with innovative products, remember to do the ownership ritual - Patent.
You’re not losing. You’re learning. You’re improving. You’re figuring it out. Think positive always.
Master a high income skill. Post high valuable content. Let people get to know you. Make some real friends. Sign clients and make money. Everything else is distraction.
