My Entrepreneur peoples! We made it to 2024!
For some of us in 1 piece and some of us in pieces but we are here all the same. When a business clocks another year its always something to celebrate.
Lets put all the lessons that got us here to practice.
Just, Hold On!
For years I have had to fight back so much...so many resentments, judgement, rebuke, undeserved hate...Many didn't and still don't get me and my serious demeanor (off and on air) ... but I keep going, I don't know what my end game is or will be...I lost both my parents at the peak of my career, I also lost my greatest support, best friend and confidant a year ago...I didn't allow myself to go into depression...but I felt and still feel alone...however, I keep going...someone said he admires my super professional, amazing anchoring and articulate charisma...That added fuel to my energy because I never seek validation for whatsoever...I say, I chose this career and it chose me too, and I don't allow myself to be broken, so you shouldn't too...many say 'one day you will make it' ... I no longer aspire for that day, I feel I have done enough, I'm no celebrity or star, don't dream to be ... Instead, I feel proud to say 'Been there, done that' and I'm still going...so should you. Live your Life to the fullest, careers do not matter, YOU DO YOU! Stay blessed 🙏🏽
Great service is not the end – the final answer. It's a process that is ongoing, ever-changing and is always being adapted to meet the needs of the current situation.
No matter what you do, always do your best. It's the consistent effort to be amazing that creates confidence. When you make a habit of amazing the people you work with, you'll inevitably end up amazing your customers.
Ask yourself: "What are we doing for our customers that the competition might find just a little extreme?" The answer can give you a competitive advantage that raises the bar, not just in your industry but also with everyone your customers might do business with.
Sometimes the best fix is not to fix but to replace— or even upgrade. When you do it with the right attitude, expeditiously, and with no hassle, you create confidence, which eventually leads to loyalty.
There is a much larger conversation to be had here. Many startups have failed globally within the same period. As @cheruiyotkb is asking, is it clear what the VCs who funded these local startups were looking for or saw in them? If so, what happened that they went burst?
They came to burn our reputation literally!
Why say - Kenyan startups when 99.8% of the times its the odiero founders being funded?
Now they say startups are failing in KE?
Someone should do an audit already and paint the correct picture.
