[FRANKLIN @WaruhiuFranklin]

Dear business owners:

There are valuable lessons to be learned from Bharat Thakar (@bharatthakrar) - Founder and Ex CEO WPP Scangroup. He was ousted from WPP Scangroup in March 2021.

In an emotional speech today he said " My dream is dead but the company can be rescued".

When a shareholder asked why he wanted a "dead baby" he replied, "Give me the dead baby. It's my dead baby"

Key takeaways for founders:

First, as a founder do not relinquish majority control of your business/company.

Secondly, if you must give up majority shareholding to raise capital or bring expertise, structure your shares with Class A and Class B shares so that as a founder your class B shares have veto rights and you retain control of your business.

As founders, we are emotionally attached to our companies and losing a business you built, poured years of sweat, passion and sacrifice is truly painful. @BoardLotSultan @EncapKenya

WPPScangroup AGM just ended. 🚨High darama AGM!
-The best AGM I have ever attended.
-Tense at the beginning but great management by Chair Richard Omwela.
-Presentation by
@bharatthakrar
was for goosebumps.
-Bharat was allowed to do presentation un-interupted for 30+minutes. What a show. Total deference by the board
-Total failure by WPP representatives to attend is disrepectful to local shareholders
-3 Directors proposed for election by WPP also did not show up to be introduced. WTF.
-Secret revelation by Bharat Thakrar. WPP have given him a poison pill[ If you want your company back, pay us 56% of cash held. 56% of 2b= 1.2b]

[Eric @amerix]

The body has special nerves known as CRANIAL NERVES.

They are 12.

I) Olfactory

II) Optic

III) Oculomotor

IV) Trochlear

V) Trigeminal

VI) Abducen

VII) Facial

VIII) Vestibulocochlear

IX) Glossopharyngeal

X) Vagus

XI) Accessory

XII) Hypoglossal

These cranial nerves affect sensory responses or motor responses or both.

Sensory responses are those signals that get relayed to the brain while motor responses are those signals relayed from the brain to affect muscular movement.

For example, if you touch a hot pan, the sensory nerves pick information from a hot pan and then relay it to the brain. Once the brain registers this information, the motor nerves send the information back to your hand to pull the hand away from the hot pan.

There is an important cranial nerve known as VAGUS NERVE. It is the 10th cranial nerve.

It is part of something called the parasympathetic nervous system which is responsible for rest, digestion and sleep.

It has both sensory and motor functions. It takes information from the organs it affects (heart, gut, lungs) and sends the information from the brain back to muscular tissues in the mouth, stomach and lungs.

For example, if you tickle your uvula, you will vomit. That's the vagus nerve at work.

The vagus nerve connects the gut to the brain. This connection is known as THE GUT-BRAIN AXIS.

This bidirectional communication pathway regulates the functions of the gut like appetite, digestion and absorption of food including the connection of emotions and cognitive functions between the brain and the gut.

The emotional and cognitive failure due to a weak vagus nerve explains why depressed or anxious people eat all the time. - and end up being obese.

When children refuse to eat or when adults refuse to eat, it is the vagus nerve sending important information about the gut.

THE VAGUS NERVE is the longest cranial nerve in the human body and the most important in digestion.

It helps in:

- breathing

- digestion

- heart beating

It also helps in swallowing, coughing and sneezing.

If this nerve becomes ineffective, then the body will suffer indigestion, bloating, slow heart rate & depression.

Most people walk around with a sick vagus nerve, but they don't know.

The VAGUS NERVE must remain effective and efficient.

If it fails, then the metabolic machine will also fail.

To make it efficient, you must:

1. Improve your breathing technique. Breath through your nostrils. Before bedtime, take a deep breath of 5 seconds then a deep exhalation of 5 seconds. Repeat for 3 minutes.

Also make deep, controlled breaths especially when sitting or walking or exercising.

2. Take long nature walks. Switch off your phone, no earphones. Just you, your steps and nature.

3. Eat salt. Add potassium citrate before bedtime.

@MrCharlesky Interested, thank you.

[Eric @amerix]

The target was Warsame.

Katwa was the bone.

Noisemakers followed the bone.

Same game with Ngatia (bone), Koome (meat).

Nothing is a coincidence. It is designed that way.

Only chess players understand why we deliberately sacrifice the knight to protect the pawn.

Everyone is waiting for your downfall.

Everyone is waiting for the right condition to insult you.

Don't give them the opportunity.

Tighten your boundaries and close the doors.

Tujitegemee, tulipe kodi.

After KRA does due deligence on collections; prudent budgetary allocations by NA/Senate, utilization by the Executive, Gov't Departments/Parastatals, public institutions and County Governments MUST follow.

Otherwise, ROI kwa mzee's taxes ni 😭 tu.

[GISTE @ggiste]

Leo nayo imekuwa another day to solve KRA dramas😂😂😂

There is this old mzee…

Ako na ngombe zake mwecheche.. kuna watu walikuja kwa kijiji last year and gave them a good deal ya maziwa. Watakuwa wananunua maziwa at 50 bob per litre. Mzee anaproduce 80 Ltrs per day.

Biashara smart sana.

Kampuni ikamwambia inataka KRA pin yake. They have to declare whatever they buy as expenses on etims so that they can claim their business expenses when filling when filling income tax.

Remember any business claiming deductions for business expenses must support them with valid electronic tax invoices.

Failure to issue eTIMS-compliant invoices for supplies denies you the ability to claim your business expenses when filing income tax returns. As well as claim the input VAT in your monthly VAT return (for those who are registered for VAT).

Kuitishwa pin number Kenya imekuwa mambo ya kawaida. So mzee akapeana pin number

Sasa leo, akanitafuta nimfilie returns. Akasema mwaka mzima hakuna biashara amefanya. So anataka niweke Nill.

Mimi teke teke nika login kwa website ya KRA. Nikaenda pande ya returns. Nikabonyeza NILL return.

KRA wakaweka hapo maandishi ya red

“The total turnover for eTims/Tims invoice of Kshs 1,118,250 is higher than the gross turnover declared in the return. Please declare the correct turnover and proceed with filling…..”

In short KRA inaambia mzee ako na biashara alifanya ya Kshs. 1,118,250/- anafaa alipie tax.

Nikauliza mzee kwani uko na kabiashara.. mzee akaniambia hana kazi ata anasurvive na tupesa watoto yake wanamtumianga😂😂

Nikapigia watu hapo KRA niwaulize rada mbona wanaharass mzee😂😂😂

KRA wakaniambia niulize mzee kama ako na ngombe..

Nikauliza mzee kama ako na ngombe..

Mzee innocently akaniambia ako na ng’ombe tano alinunuliwa na watoto wake zikuwe zinamkeep busy..

Very nice…. Nikaambia watu wa kra mzee amenunuliwa ngombe na vijana wake asipate depression ushago after leaving Nairobi life..

Jamaa wa KRA akaniambia mzee anauza maziwa anategeneza Kshs. 4,000 per day na anataka kudeclare NIL returne yet watchman wa G4S on a salary of 1K per day analipa ushuru.

Wakaniuliza sasa mzee anataka serikali ijenge barabara, ipeane security, iweke stima na pesa gani? Kama yeye hataki kulipa ushuru zitajengwa aje? Na kazi ni kusema hakuna kitu serikali inafanya..

Ilibidi nikanyagie kuambia mzee iyo story juu mambo ingechemka😂😂

In normal circustances mzee should have written down expenses za feeds, vets, interest ya fuliza ile inaambatana na biashara etc and kept the receipts so that we deduct from the sales. We then calculate 30% and pay KRA.

Shida ile iko ni ati KRA sasa hawataki word of mouth. Wanataka kama ulinunua kitu wewe make sure uko na eTIMS receipt.

Mzee hana receipt any atleast angekuwa nayo tungefile Manual and non eTIMs invoices.

Sasa mzee haelewi mareceipt anaweka ya nini na yeye anauza maziwa yake na ngombe ni yake😂😂😂

Sasa serikali inaingilia wap na ngombe zake?

Iyo ilikuwa kazi ngumu sana kuexplainia mzee. Nikamshow aingie KRA watamsaidia

Nilifanya mahesabu yangu nikaona KRA itamdai Kshs. 335,475/-

Nyinyi mnaona kama atasaidika?

Alafu jomba usikubali kufanya biashara na mtu hana eTIMS utalia sana..

Sahii mtalipa ushuru ndio mjitegemee.

If whatever you are doing to make money finds its way into a mainstream business. Wewe jua you will have a date with KRA

@incentivising In theory, intelligence should give you an advantage.

In reality, it can isolate you if it threatens the wrong people.

So is success really about being smart or about being socially strategic?

[Incentivising @incentivising]

I have seen intelligent people destroy their careers by never learning to play dumb strategically. And game theory explains why: in most high-stakes hierarchies, influence is perceived as a zero-sum game. If you appear "too intelligent," you are perceived as a threat. That locks you out of important networks. Let the others feel superior for a while, and hide your intelligence until deployment.
