If you want to make your first Kshs. 1 million and even become a millionaire, here are the practical steps you should take:
- Do you have a smartphone?
- Do you know how to browse the internet?
- Do you have any vocational or digital skill?
- Do you have any business running currently?
If you have a smartphone but no skill or business yet, here is exactly what you should do:
1. Start with petty jobs around you to raise money for data.
2. Download Adskills, Coursera or Udemy from the Play Store or Apple Store. Choose a course and commit to learning. I personally recommend Video Editing, Graphic Design, or Social Media Management.
3. While learning, devote serious time to social media, especially X, Facebook, and TikTok. Build your accounts with dedication, passion, and consistency. Position yourself for opportunities.
4. Once you finish learning your skill, sell yourself boldly on social media. Show people what you can do. Start creating and uploading valuable videos on YouTube, Facebook, and other platforms.
5. Be frugal with your money and watch your spending carefully. Save at least 30% of every income you make and never touch it.
6. Do anything legal that can bring you money and do it very well. Never be too ashamed to take on honest work that puts food on your table.
7. As money starts coming in, buy shares, invest in money market funds, avoid spending to impress women, and always live below your means.
8. When you start making money, do not rush to announce it. Do not upgrade your lifestyle suddenly. Stay in your current house. If you need more comfort, create it inside first. Learn to stay low-key and focused.
You have everything it takes. Start today, stay consistent, and your breakthrough will come. The journey to Kshs. 1 million begins with that first small action. You've got this!
Above all, love God.

What is the most interesting thing you can see about these billionaires?
These are not politicians.
They are not doctors or lawyers.
These are founders.
They founded, own, and invest heavily in technology innovation companies.
Now, if you want to be relevant in the next 10 years, invest your resources in these 5 companies.
This doesn't mean buying shares in them.
It means aligning your skills around these companies.
For example, if you are a carpenter, identify a product or service in these companies, then build an idea around it, and then develop a product or service based on those products or services.
Or, if you are an interior designer, find out how you can borrow an idea from these companies or how you can leverage your skill using the products and services built by these companies.
The era of saying,
"I am going to school because I want to be a lawyer," — is gone.
These traditional careers began losing their grandeur two decades ago.
I am not saying being a lawyer is bad.
What I am saying is that even if you are a lawyer, align your skills and leverage your work with the products and services of companies owned by the top 5 wealthiest individuals.
Why is this so?
Because where the wealthiest people are, that is where the value sits. That is what people want.
These billionaires are not there by accident.
They are there because the world wants what they are selling.

If your parents advised you to go to college so that you can graduate, get a good job and live a good life, they cheated you.
If you think you went to college to get a good job, you will be frustrated forever.
Also, there is nothing like a 'marketable course'. It doesn't exist.
The only marketable thing is your skill. If your skill is able to add value, every consumer will be looking for you.
All courses are marketable. It depends on how you turn your course into a specialized skill.
You need two types of skills
- Specialized skills.
- Soft skills.
Specialized skills help you build a unique product. A unique product is a solution that solves a problem.
Soft skills help you create a sustainable relationship with the market which translates to selling your product.
Here are the different types of products people buy:
1. This product will solve my pain.
2. This product will make my life easier.
3. This product will connect me to a community or a tribe.
4. This product will help me make more money.
Your parents went to school to be employed by Government and International companies because during their days, employees were in high demand. Therefore, colleges trained them to be loyal employees.
However today, things have changed.
Build a skill. Use this skill to solve problems while adding value to yourself and the community.
