NEVER disrespect the hustle of anyone. There is this couple that I met on a business network organised by @NCBABankKenya who shared their story & how they have 10 outlets just focusing on groceries across key satellite towns in Nairobi. They were both employed by a bank, & the wife was let go during COVID-19. The husband continued working. He took a small loan & opened a small grocery shop for the wife in Kahawa West. Fast forward a year later, the wife was bring in more money than the husband. Ten times what the husband was earning. The husband quit his job and joined the wife in selling Sukuma wiki & other groceries. Now they are proud owners of their home. They have a pickup that does deliveries, supported by 10 motorbikes. They are both graduates of economics. They shared more. The drama they have gone through, auction threats, Kanjo, managing employees, cash flow challenges & the element of toxic debt. When they signed up with NCBA, they were able to get not only capital, but expert advice on how they can run their business. My take home was that, they started small. My biggest inhibitor has always been the desire to start big & leave a mark instead of starting small & growing up well. If you have an opportunity, start. Start now. Start small.
