Jambo Rosemary, how are you doing these days and how is your business doing? This is James, one of the lenders. You said that you have a business of beauty, so I am assuming that you mainly sell cosmetics for women, perhaps perfumes too. What else do you sell? What about just a few items of clothing that women want, like pretty underclothes, things that they purchase often. It would not take up much room in your shop and you would get more sales. They may as well buy them from you and it would be expanding your business so to speak. Think about it. Do you sell mens shaving lotion, after shave, or other such items for men? The women may buy such items for their husbands or fathers or boyfriends. I am praying for you and your business every day. Let me know how you are doing, I want you to succeed. Take care, James

Faustina · Techiman, Ghana

I once again thank you for the loan. God bless you.

James · United States

Jan 13, 2017

Jambo Jackline, how are you and your daughter doing and how is your business? This is James, one of the lenders. Joy is the perfect name for your daughter as I'm sure that she brings you much joy. I have not heard that name in many years. Were you able to get the blow dryer? I am sure you were busy during the holidays. I have a daughter in Nakuru who has a salon and she always tells me how busy she is during the holidays. Yes the women like their hair to look nice. You didn't mention it but do you also cut mens hair? If not, think of all the extra money you could be making. Men need their hair cut too. Grow your business one step at a time and be patient along the way to your goal, you'll make it, I have confidence in you that you will. Get to know your customers real well, perhaps write their names in a book. It's good to keep records for various reasons. Perhaps offer them a discount on their next hairdo if they bring in a new customer. Another way to get some extra money is to sell snacks and sodas to the waiting customers. Do you have a fridge? How about enough chairs for waiting customers? I know it's hot in Nakuru now and my daughter (another one) told me that people are really buying a lot of sodas. My daughter has an m-pesa and a store. I also have a daughter named Jackline who works at a lodge. She was on the cover of the "SATURDAY with the Daily Nation" magazine in 2000. Beautiful girl she is, of course all my daughters are beautiful to me. You also could make the cover of a magazine, really. I've been to Kenya 3 times, have many daughters and sons there. Beautiful place, beautiful people. Am praying for you and Joy and your business every day. Let me know how you are doing, I want you to succeed Jackline. Give that Joy a hug and kiss for me. Am sure she's "as cute as a button" (a saying). She's got to be, she's your daughter. Take care. James

After receiving Ksh 525 from Zidisha that help me do some marketing that made my new year start well interms of production costs hence Gymnastics, for me, gave me a lot of self-pride: that drive to want to be great at something for myself. But it also gave me a sense of appreciation toward God. Now that I'm getting more experienced in business, I really appreciate the Zidisha , God showed me. Not just physically, but mentally and emotionally. Thanks God bless the work of your hands comment image
