About Me

I was born in December 10th 1994 in kibwezi town,Makueni county, Kenya. Am a product of Makokani primary school, Mumbuni boys high school then joined Embu college of professionals where i dealt in accounting. Since my childhood my father really motivated in business as he dealt with selling milk plus small shop in our local market ( Kambu market) During my life in Form two the passion for business increases though i was young and new nothing about business, One day my father gave me pocket money but the better part of it what i did i bought Two hen each costing $4.13. The funny part of it the hen multplied the way i was not expecting. From that time i was able to raise part of pocket money. Then there was this time when there was a serious outbreak of certain disease for Birds which claimed almost half of my Birds. Then after that i sought a veternary officer from our area who injected my remaining birds which managed, but immediately after that i sold all my Birds and changed my business where i was able to buy Two goats each $20.67. Lucky was on my side as the goat multplied with a short period where i was able to buy one cow costing $103.3By that time i was almost done my Form four exam waiting to join college of which lucky enough i joined. Then during my second year in college i was in need of cash so what i did i sold One bull L costing $516.67 where i paid part of my school fee. But around our school gate there was this guy who had printing and photocopying business he used to make alot of money so this was another business opportunity whcih strack my mind, so what i did because i was not able to rent a room i bought One desktop and a printer which my aim was to operate direct from my small cube . Funny enough i had customers that,s my fellow classmates as i reduced my price slightly lower than the guy around the school gate. The business really helped me raise part of pocket money and do small needs. Then after college to get job was very hard so what i did i sold again the remaining cow now at $413.3 where i was able to rent one room at Nairobi where i did photocopying and printing . MY cousin also helped me sometimes as i was balancing both my business and hustling for job to build my profession. As we talk now am employed and myCousin still manages my business though ido help him after job and weekends and am gaining customers day by day

My Business

I have been running my business since my college life as have explained of which it has grown to what i never thought of at the start. I do offer cyber services for customers whoa are in need of internet plus also photocopying and printing.
I also do engage in Chicken rearing which currently is one of the most profitable venture to small enterprenuares as it has little risks and it's guaranteed to make profits once the project is hundled with the expected standards and also the market is ready available as they are in high demand.
