😍 can't wait until I'm back in Kampala to try the electric @SafeBoda !

[Emma Katungi @1OneKatungi]

@Tom_Courtright Interesting facts

In my view, the Boda drivers make more money than stated.

The average will have a take home of Ugx 40,000

Great insights @Tom_Courtright

@ExquisiteUganda Thank you for session

@the_bushgal_ @Tom_Courtright Spiro has started doing the same in Uganda.

Ive seen them take up spaces in busy centers especially those that have bodaboda stages

Still on the low but they will be more visible by the end of the year.

@Tom_Courtright @africaarguments Impressive !

[@tomcourtright.bsky.social @Tom_Courtright]

A lot happened this past year, but one of the things I'm most proud of is this history of bodas that @africaarguments published 🙏.

Bodas are central to modern Uganda, and every day they connect the edge of society to the beating heart of the country.

It has officially been 10 years since i released Mizu. I praise God because i know It’s hard to be counter culture and stay relevant in an ever-changing world. Some thought the change was a disaster when i started singing for the master, but here we are.

Airports around the world lobby for airlines to fly into their airports, they have smart marketing individuals who push for numbers to come through.

They create incentives for airlines to able to fly through because that increases business for the airport and the country

@Tom_Courtright @rich_mallett @aitajoel He says that his parents treasured this bike so much.

Owning that bike in that village those days was equivalent to having a Mercedes 😄

[Emma Katungi @1OneKatungi]

@Tom_Courtright @rich_mallett This article has reminded me of @aitajoel 's story of how he says he exchanged his parent's bike for fish as he wouldn't ride 60km uphill back home.

So he decided to do the barter trade and later sold off the fish and bought another bike from the profit of the sales.

@aitajoel However hard entrepreneurship might be, it's the only path that can dramatically shoot your networth through the roof in the wildest of ways.

That's if your solution to mankind's problems is highly scalable. So I say go for it.

@aitajoel Businesses that involve exchange of logistics and Money on daily basis, don't do them if you have no time. Either you or your wife should create time to be the incharge.

SUICIDE MISSION: RESIGNING YOUR JOB TO START YOUR OWN BUSINESS
I have received a lot of questions about what they should do if they want to quit their Jobs to start their own business.

I graduated with a Bachelors of Civil Engineering in 2004. The Plan was to work for 3 years to gain experience then resign to start my own entity. Its easier said than done. You got to plan properly. The easiest is to start the company while you are still employed (Insurance) just in-case things don't go well I will still have my monthly check. But this one also has a huge challenge. Your Pay check demands you 9-5 everyday, so you do not have a lot of time for your own business. From experience, your company will not grow at the speed it should have if you had a lot of time for it. Many times you will inject money for the workers. They will benefit from the company profits more than you the owner.

In 2007, I decided to take the Suicide Mission. Drop employment and start your own. You got to have a thick skin. I remember we used to be paid on 28th of every month. The first month into self employment was when I knew I was finished. There was no longer the month pay check. This makes you know you are on your own. This opens your capabilities and you start working on overdrive and full throttle.

However, the Suicide Mission was a planned mission. What we call calculated risks.

Two years before starting on my own, I started planning. Every month I would buy something for the office. Chair, desk, printer, photocopier, etc etc. So by the end of the two years, I had all the tools, furniture and equipments i needed to set up an office.

Then as the final month was approaching, I decided to pay for one year office Rent, Medical Insurance for one year for two, Food for one year for two in a Local Restaurant (One plate per day per person). With the three in place, I knew I was ready for the Suicide Mission.

With that calculated Risk, I knew at-least one year is sorted. The second year will sort itself along the way.

One easy Calculated Risk one can do is to set up rental units which can raise revenue equivalent to their monthly salary, then you hit out.

It is always advisable to start your own business when you have time for it. Otherwise, you may not go far with it. You will inject a lot of money only to be eaten by the workers. But in trying to execute your suicide mission, calculate the risks very well.
