I am a cool headed man down to earth, hardworking, loving and understanding. I work with epiroc company at the moment, while running a business on the other hand. I began my academic journey in the school of natural sciences with high hopes and a bright future, but after failing my first year, my determined mother didn’t give up on me, she went on to secure me a place at Nkrumah university in Kabwe and that time decided to pursue teaching. Just when I thought things seemed to be back on track, life threw a curve ball on me. I lost my hero my mother!
The biggest hurdle I faced after my mother's death was getting over my own fear of failure. Staying persistent was not an easy task for me, that is for sure, but I embraced the chance for the opportunity I was given by church members of me starting up a business and I was given capital. The pastor played a big roll because he was able to help me connect to other resources such as job placement, food banks, governmental rent assistance, and other stuff I can't mention.
I have no child so far, but if I could be given a chance of having one or more, I would want them to be respectful and loving towards everyone. I would also want them to treat everyone with kindness and be able to express themselves. I would even show them how to save and how to be a savvy spender. Academically it can depend and determine on how they score on the exams and what their heart desires to become.
My hobbies include knitting, making money, cycling, swimming, running, hiking and many more. But travel and exploration is my favourite because through exploring new places, it has helped me develop skills or qualities that are valuable in my work and business. I socialize with a lot of difficult age groups without having any difficulties.
I have a hardware store that have been managing for some years now. I offer tools, building materials, fasteners, plumbing, electrical supplies, paint, and cleaning products. I prefer this business because of the following reasons: It is steady demand, market potential, community need, expert knowledge and entrepreneurial opportunity meaning, owing a hardware store is an entrepreneurial venture to me, reason being is that, it allows me to manage my own business, set my own hours and potentially earn a good income. Another reason is that it's a profitable businesses due to the consistent demand for tools, building materials, and home improvement products. My first priority is to use business profits to grow my business and I make sure to calculate my business profit by subtracting my total expenses from my total revenue.
On this project I would like to use the funds to buy a bicycle because I am spending too much on transports, reason being is that, where I live and were my shop is there is a distance of 38 kilometers and I can't manage to be walking or use transport everyday as it will be costing me too much like it have been. So I have come to a realization that purchasing a bicycle will help me very much in terms of movements.
