About Me

My name Brian Omondi I was born in the shores of lake Victoria I went to kwoyo primary school a secondary school and I had an option to extend my education at that time but due to peer pressure I opted not to continue with education as I saw it as a barrier to my success so I joined the fishing crew so that I could make money like my colleges I did this job for two successive years it was dangerous but I kept on comforting myself with a saying `` no pain no gain`` until the time when losted all my comrades and my cousins when an overloaded boat capsized and I was the only survivor so I decided to quit the work I hve saved a good amount of money so I had this thought of going back to school but I saw it not being the best idea as I was the bread winner of my own and all I wanted was a sourse of income so I decided to start a business and the appropriate business was being a bodada so I purchesd a motor bike I knew how to operate it so I applied for a road licence and I started as soon as I had reseived the interim licence

My Business

My motorbike is not that big as the services that I offer are not so cumbersome for now I am like iam sertisfied by my motor bike but I have starterd paying in advance for another motor bike bigger thatn this one to avoid losing my job to other competitors , it is not easy to get this job as it is very difficult for one to trust you with his/her fish as they value them so much I chose to be transporting fish from the shores to the market becase it is a time conciuse job sice I deal with perishable good s , I have also been one of them for a very long time and hence trust was not a had thing creating only that was enogh to fend away completion as I mention early I know how to manage time and this makes my services in much great demand thanks o I will soon be having another motor bike

Loan Proposal

I do always carry bananas to markets which require enough fuel and so for this my loan i will use to fill up my tank which will keep me for more than a week as i continue saving and be able to repay my loan without any problem.
