Making tech & marketing work for real people.

[Sahil Bloom @SahilBloom]

A mentor once told me this: Reduce the amplitude of the wave. Never get too high on the wins. Never get too low on the losses. Emotional stability is the real cheat code for adapting to the inevitable uncertainty of life.

The ADHD dream career is being a highly paid consultant who swoops in, solves a complex crisis with a chaotic stroke of genius, and immediately exits before having to fill out the timesheets.

A mentor once told me this: Fall in love with feeling like a work in progress. Resist the urge to look polished. You don’t need to pretend you have it all figured out. Nobody does. Embrace your unfinished form. Just commit to getting a better each day and trust where it leads.

[Dave Kariuki @JustKariuki]

Unfortunately, most tech founders around are either Erlich, riding on former glory or Richard, constantly grinding with zero clue on business models

[Wamwea🇰🇪 @wamweaaa]

I think more tech entrepreneurs should adopt the Jian-Yang method.

That's how Bolt took over Uber's market share in Africa.

[SokoAnalyst @SokoAnalyst]

Attention is becoming more expensive than office rent. If people don’t know you exist, someone with an average product but excellent distribution will beat you every time.

[Dave Kariuki @JustKariuki]

Back in pre-covid times, we had an event called the Fail Faire by @amaniinst
Somewhat successful individuals would come and talk about their failures. These were some of the best learning moments.

[Renaissance ⚔️ Morio @RamzZy_]

There something about success - it hides your luck, privilege, networks, nepo moves etc & only shines on the results. People who became successful & share stories about how many times they failed will teach you more than the ones who just boast about their wins.

Startups 101:
Build B2C if you want to be famous, Build B2B if you want to be profitable.

Selling b2b software is where it's at man, kuna quote nliona mahali bado siamini

[Alex Kamau @iamalexkamau]

There comes a point in life when a long walk becomes more exciting than a night out.

[Dave Kariuki @JustKariuki]

CEO wa ABSA aliannounce resignation and new job at I&M within hours... lakini Patrick wa magazine akimove ndio biting the hand? 🤔

[Samwel Wekesa @bungomaduke]

@PatrickCarSales This is so wrong. When someone teaches you how to fish, don't fish in their pond. You could have chosen a different path instead of selling cars. Obviously your former employer is going to lose clients to you. This is just wrong.

[SokoAnalyst @SokoAnalyst]

Do not mix business money with personal spending. Once every payment becomes available for household needs, you lose the ability to measure performance, plan investments or understand the company’s real position.

Pay yourself a defined salary or owner’s draw. Use separate accounts and document every withdrawal. Financial discipline protects both the business and the entrepreneur from confusion, pressure and avoidable conflict.

However this year goes, it's ending with me winning.

[Tasha 😋💦 @Tasha1644]

The real flex is staying grateful to God even when times are tough.

[SokoAnalyst @SokoAnalyst]

The smartest businesses are asking a different question: “What happens if our biggest customer disappears tomorrow?” Companies that diversify revenue streams are proving far more resilient than those relying on one product, one client or one market.

[Sam Otigba @SamuelOtigba]

We all have equal, direct access to God. No one has more exclusive access than you.

[Oh Lord @theManOf_God]

When you realize God wasn't lying when he said he had plans for you to prosper, have a good future and find hope.

@iWateba @Safaricom_Care Bana.. na vile pia USSD siku hizi imekuwa unreliable

[SokoAnalyst @SokoAnalyst]

A country grows when entrepreneurs spend more time serving customers than complying with endless regulations.

[TurboDiesel @alexmwanzo]

One of my irrecable minimums is insults .
Insult anyone around me because it a cleaner or the gate man that's it
You are out.

[Dave Kariuki @JustKariuki]

@Safaricom_Care @iWateba This one that randomly fails to open with wifi? 🚮

[femiiiiii. @femiiiszn]

i am at the age where i understand that paying a little extra for convenience and comfort is absolutely okay.
