The longer you stay under someone\u2019s fold the better. For those who can work from offices, this is the best learning environment for a Newbie. You do not only learn about types of accounts, but also what is the ideal time to BID, or to take an order, learn about simple things like automatic reload every, etc. So learn, learn learn\u2026. Learn. To make it big, I would personally propose a period of 4-12 months under the umbrella of a credible, all season, proper flow of work employer (Veterans know what I mean by all season, proper flow). Need not mention more as the rest Alfa has already mentioned<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"On_investment\"><\/span>On investment<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Everyone can choose his path to invest but a diversification strategy can be ideal. Before I give my opinion, my first employer told me, \u201cAn employer is NOT your friend, he can sack you any time, so whatever little he gives you, invest!\u201d The best diversification is both online and offline. My personal path has been three dimensional, Online, Offline and Mental. Online, Alfa has already given a perfect approach, the company where you have DCs\u2026 As most keep on fighting whether a site is paying via Mpesa or not, others are taking their companies to greater levels. I leave that issue at that point\u2026. Offline can be done in different ways, depending on your level of income. If what you can save in a season is 100K, seek for a place to invest it\u2026 A 100K can go to treasury bills, or to a ka land somewhere far in the interior, chances are that this ka plot can grow to 200K faster than a Sh. 10M plot can double to 20M (Rate of return Brothers and sisters)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mywritingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Investments-in-Kenya-1024x811.jpg\" alt=\"Investments in Kenya\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Mental investment, this can come in handy when you retire, everyone including business people retire, you may not have the vigor to proceed in writing past 40 years especially if you did not plan well. Advance your skills, both technical and none technical; learn that extra s\/ware, enroll for that MSC\/MA, PhD etc (Choose your desired path)\u2026 With a three-faced investment, your future is secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, have less show offs,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rest, I just agree with Alfa<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Some_selected_feedback_on_this_write_up\"><\/span>Some selected feedback on this write up<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Felix<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wisdom will kill you!
