  LONG WAITING PERIOD In life and business there is something that i call  LONG WAITING PERIOD You can't escape this period its actually what makes life intresting. That's the period when things don't seem to work out no matter how hard you try. The period could be 1-5 years. I know some people who dedicate themselves years after year and work hard and thing's still don't seem to work out for them.. Some of those people are in their 20's some in their 40's and some in their 60's. This is the period were life tests you. I know a lady who was already successful in business by the age of 20 got married but at the age of 35 she lost everything for four years, She went through this period. Her husband  left (divorced her). She worked soo hard trying to get back but things didn't seem to work out. She had connections and friends but none of them were willing to help her. She had friends that she had previously helped before, but they didn't want...

 If I was a celebrity I'd be the type of celebrity who drives a Yaris or an I20, shops at local shops and wears simple clothes.  Alot of celebrity die poor because they spend most of their money protecting a certain image. It was recently discovered that actors and musicians are exploited. How are  we going to know that if they didn't tell us? Most celebrities are renting apartments and estate houses. When they die their children will inherit nothing but rent in areas. If you can't afford a house there means you should not rent there at all. I'll never live my life to impress people or protect a certain image. I'm the reality. I'm what you see. I represent the reality of every hustler that you see in Zambia. I have no time to show you a different image. We can not tackle the actual problems in this country when we are spending so much money trying to hide them. We can't fix what's hidden. Alot of people a driving nice cars living in fancy apartments they...

 Exactly that time of the year where you question yourself about the journey you decided to take. You should remember all our family wants for us is safety and financial security. Entrepreneurship has nothing to do with that.  This is when you get scared to go home. That's because you don't want to answer alot of questions.  The major question would be. *" What are you now doing for a living:?*  Then how do you answer that. If you know very well that you sold bags the business didn't work out then you went for clothes then you started a chicken dust business which is not yet even profitable yet and a number of small hustle.   At this stage you're a beginner in the field on Entrepreneurship yes a biggies maybe  with 3 years experience.  How do you answer your aunt or uncle at the Christmas party when they ask you what Exactly are you doing for a  living.  To top that up.

 What motivated me to work harder on myself and develop myself financially is what I saw in schools and hospitals.  Teachers and nurses and some doctors are financially suffering.  After years they live from hand to mouth.  Worse now some are even retiring to get their retirement funds and going back to work after a few years.  If you do everything by the rules of the system. Go to school get a job and get married start a family buy or build a house before you buy a car then have children then take your children to good private schools.  By the age of 40 you will be BROKE.  Two days after payday you will be left with only K2500.00 for the month. Mid month you go to the loan institutions because your credit score would be messed up by then.  Think about it. Current inflation is more than 24.4% this year.  A salary increase mybe every 5years by less than 6% they still going to Tax you.  Mathematically you getting poorer every year.  U...

 I remember being very stupid.  Worrying about where I'm renting instead of renting in a cheap area and using the extra cash to build a build a business.  Some people are trapped in this thing of maintaining standards. Why would you pay K6000 pm for the apartment instead of getting the apartment for K1500.00 and using the K4500.00 extra cash to build a proper business in your areas. This thing of leaving affordable houses in your area and going to rent  to rent a K6000.00 apartment drive a K5000.00 pm installment and take your kids to a private school while your children have no property to inherit is stupid.   Even if you share one big bedroom for your kids for five years while your building them a proper business nothing is wrong with that. Real comfort comes after suffering it's unfortunate that no one wants to go through the pain majority want it easy. Why seriously why pay such a huge amount for rent while you have no business in your name. Atleast bui...

 This morning I had a business talk on zoom with big businessmen and women. What I have learnt from them is that team up with others and contribute money to start a business is key in some successful businesses and it has helped many people grow in finance. Now let me share with you this business which can only cost you around k55,000 to start in zambia or in your country.   Let's say you  K38000 to set up your own bakery and bake your own bread, pies, rolls etc. You can set this up at your garage or in a mobile container even your own house or rent a house that's why I have put up a k50,000. You can supply bread to boarding schools, restaurants, hotels and Burundi shops.  Equipment that can bake 600 loafs a day costs less than K50,000,00 If you can supply a hospital, hotel, school or a firm with the 600 loafs at K10 per unit. You will be making a Turnover of K6000 a day. This could work for someone who has been retrenched and needs a stable income or someone looking...
