In 2012 and 2013 I started my journey to where I am heading. By then, I was a father but most of the help to the boy came from my family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I worked with the electoral commission and left with around 0.5M. But again, I hadn’t touched such an amount and that meant there was a certain thrill that came with it. Within 6 months, I was dead broke. Affording a house with a rent of 3k became a problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Luckily, my friend and I got a job at a certain bank in late 2013. Things didn’t change as we were enemies of the seniors because we delivered beyond expectations at the loans department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Due to pressure, we resigned and started hawking. We were ridiculed for having gone to college but we did odd jobs. Some clients would buy because we engaged them professionally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2014 or thereabout, my buddy was absorbed by a certain county government. I was happy for him but I knew that I couldn’t survive hawking alone as it required us to keep motivating each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There was this client who we used to serve as he bought all the best tops for his wife without bargaining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He was a writer but was not willing to disclose any information about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I did my research and got a headway. I even opened my first account without training or anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As fate would have it, I joined a certain group and met a certain guy who employed. He would format and in-text my papers. I got a footing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Between 2013 and 2014, I cut ties with everyone. I changed my number from 0721 to 0703. I knew I needed to figure things out on my own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I started interacting with people who I thought were successful in the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I joined PayPal to Mpesa business with a capital of just 40k. Just one serious client and my float would be gone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I grew with time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The rest is history….<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My advice to anyone who is trying something in life, just know that there is a moment that you should agree that no one owes you anything but you need to keep your acts together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am not yet where I want to be but I will never give up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thanks!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
