A Thousand Ways To.. Choose

On Ad Critique, it's January 2015 here (I understand that there are many types of calendars) and this is the time that people take children to school thus most ads are about back to school deals. HOWEVER Coca Cola did it again just after giving me free data bundles they now have a coca-cola with my name on it, mmh. Haven't bought one of this though.

A Million Ways To...
You probably have watched a reality show by the name similar to the title that shows many was which people have died.

We're not about to take that direction since we won't die till we fulfill our purpose on earth.

In the business sense there are many ways to make money, many ways.

Did I say many, yes many ways.

You can be employed by someone else or you can employ yourself.

In both you obviously fall into many industries therein.

Most help people get basic goods and services.

Human needs are a good source of business.

As technology and lifestyles change so do the needs change though the former of food, clothing, shelter don't change.

Education has become a need, technology and the need to be advanced in it.

Some are not all that important but almost all seek to fill a gap.

I remember a lady who was interviewed by the media the other day had an interesting business; selling and delivering condoms to your doorstep. Ah! Well she was driving an expensive car and had employed several people. Mmh! Good or bad?

Others take drunkards home since they can't drink and drive.

What about corruption? KPMG once tweeted that this would have been the third largest industry in the world given that it is $3 trillion vice annually.

I don't recommend corruption at all. As I have said earlier necessity is the mother of invention, so when we take shortcuts we also evade innovation. Which is a sad thing, we will only brought to our senses by calamity especially man made calamities.

Brewing beer, wine, spirits, cigarettes, hard drugs make people lots of money, really not satisfying basic needs but rather luxury needs.

I would rather we use straight means to earn money a friend once challenged me and some other friends to think of one corrupt character whose children had a happy ever after script play out in their life. Do you know any?

Any beer seller and such stuff?

Purpose is about making other peoples life better, that said ours is to do our part Andrew Carnagie did his part but a shot at world peace could only go so far, that is God's business.

The Price of greatness by David Oyedepo (Breaking New Grounds) PDF

Breaking new grounds is a costly endeavor for who of you intending to build a tower sits not down first and counted the cost? Every tower you see today behind it is a tower cost there is a tower price behind ever standing tower today. many people settle for status quo because of the seeming unbearable cost that breaking new grounds demands this generation is not interested in the cost they are only interested in the feat they want the results but they are not interested in the price so they keep chasing after the wind all their life he should count the cost whether he has sufficient to finish it lest haply after he has laid the foundation and is not able to finish it all that behold it begin to mock him saying this man begun to build and was not able to finish every  prize carries a price as a fining pot for silver and the furnace for gold, so is a man to his praise. so the level of dignity you command is a function of the price you are willing to pay every great accompl...

I liked this interview, talks so much sense. In Kenya we have 10% of population controlling 45% of the economy. That is shocking. My great problem at times is that there are many problems that require little investment but will produce immense benefits. The great problem as Dr. Karungu here says is that we are not producing middle class. We have to really deal with traditions e.g. study get a job, do business to to buy a car and a house. Knowledge always brings people to rest, whether in religion for my case Christianity or Economy. I hope you know that more than doing busy-ness people need to do business, create not just employment but meaningful employment. Since many just want to pay personal bills e.g. in Molo, there is no strategy management in place just mere competition with local businesses. As one said  "If you think education is expensive try ignorance". It is severely expensive. In my talks in schools I find that what really inspires teens is...

Down here is a picture of EAML, East African Malting LTD, I recently was in Narok and to get there I used the Molo - Kericho - Bomet route. Along this route I happened to see such great facilities used to process tea. For your information Kericho is not just beautiful, it is beau-tea-ful. The landscape of the town is covered by tea even hawkers in Kericho town sell tea cuttings, that you can plant. From Kaisugu, Finlay, Unilever among many others that paint the town green. The other day on a local television station highlighted the fact that some of these farms have been planted in the Mau Forest. Politicians .... let's leave them alone, apparently they owe me very little I have a part to play. So Jillian Kyula on a local station @ktnKenya enlightened a lot about 250 out of 450 acres of available arable land for farming in the world is found in Africa. I would just like to see great structures here in Molo that process, not tea but rather potatoes and an assortment of other ...
