I’m going to continue this theme of posting video’s of interviews with billionaires since I find it interesting to listen to what those who have made it have to say. Why India? because the Indians are fairly new to the list and they’ve done by overcoming many of the issues that I believe African entrepreneurs [...]

I haven’t put a video up in a while and I figured it was time. It’s always interesting to listen to what a Billionaire has to say — so have your fill!

Someone I know who has a sales job has just been given a warning: Bring in the clients or else…..
He had two years to produce, but wasn’t quite able to do it. It’s very, very, hard to get people to give you their hard earned money, especially for a service oriented business that is [...]

This is the title of a blog written by a native Iraqi who has lived through the war and occupation, but is now forced to leave Iraq because of the growing violence.
He/she has some very interesting insights about what is happening in Iraq and they break everything down like only a native would. I’ve [...]

Ever since I started blogging, I’ve been paying more attention to events that occur around me and to the conversations that take place during those events (I need stories for my blog!) — people always ask me where I find the time to write and I say that the writing takes all but five minutes [...]

I said I was going to recount a story about this issue of job security by using an example of a friend’s boss who I incorrectly thought had achieved job security. I don’t personally know my friends boss very well. I’ve met her a few times casually, but haven’t interacted with her on [...]

I had an article a while back on a friend of mine who was thinking about starting a dog walking business (don’t laugh). He had worked part-time for a dog walking company and every time he’d go into the office to pick up his schedule, he’d see his bosses sitting comfortably in their chairs [...]

An interesting story on Africa’s crumbling university system. Kenya is not mentioned. The focus is on Senegal, but the issues are the same. What really caught my attention about this article was yet another World Bank policy that has proved disastrous for Africa — The Bank reduced spending on university education and increased [...]

Last night I was on the phone with a customer service rep from Direct-tv. I was trying to order the international sports channel, Setanta. After my call went through, I was connected to some African-American rep who was clearly based in the south (based on the accent I detected). Anyway, the following is [...]

I was browsing through the Standard’s business section and I came upon this story on the Uchumi debacle and the subsequent share dumb that occurred right before Uchumi shut down. This quote from Terry Davidson got my attention.
Here it is:
Former Kenya Commercial Bank chief executive, Mr Terry Davidson, is one of the key [...]

Where? tell me now! wapi? ……(because that’s where the money is!)
I have to figure out this demand conundrum before I put any money down into this new venture that I want to try out. So, I found this tool yesterday that will give you a general idea of what people are looking for in the [...]

I’m not in a good mood today. One reason is that it’s Monday and I’m always a little grumpy on Monday’s. My “happiness meter” seems to get progressively higher as Friday approaches. The second reason for my grumpiness is that I finally decided to wind down an on-line business that just wasn’t working out. I [...]

I was breezing through the Standards reporting on the plane crash and it just raised more questions for me. Like…
The management of Kenya Airways cannot tell who between the two pilots was in charge of the aircraft at the time of the crash. One of the pilots, Francis Wamwea Mbatia, was a flying veteran [...]

I got this list from the website, Startupnation.com . The only ideas that seem to be viable are the tutoring idea and the online professor idea. I can see how both idea’s could work, especially if you have strong skills in mathematics (since that’s the subject that most American students have difficulty with) — [...]

I was reading about this woman who’s opened a couple of Mexican restaurants close to where I live and they’ve both become very successful. As I was reading her profile, it was interesting to discover that she is not Mexican at all. She is Japanese American and she mentioned that she often gets [...]

I was looking through the blog listings on Mashada and discovered this new blog called Kenyan poet — it’s a blog about Kenyan/ African art and poetry and dance and literature and music and neo-soul nights, and, and, and…wow!
It’s so nice to see a site that doesn’t focus on that pop culture poison and those [...]

It looks like it’s going to be Raila vs. Kibaki. I’m not going to talk about the other presidential candidates because frankly, they have no chance of making it (and on that point, can somebody please beam Najib Balala back to earth? does he honestly believe he’ll be elected president?). Let’s just keep [...]

This is not good, not good at all.
I had already boiled down the African airlines that I would fly to two: Kenya airways was one and South African airlines was the second. Now, I don’t know if I’d want to fly Kenya Airways again. I’m sorry…..this is the second fatal accident in less than [...]

I’m kind of stunned at the diametrically opposing headlines in the Standard and the Nation. When ten people in a market are sprayed with bullets by a mercenary group of thugs or rebels, you’d think both newspapers would lead with the same headline!
But nooo…the nation leads with a flimsy story about some nominated councillor [...]

I’m getting desperate and um…um…um….every time I read about a “sure thing” business idea, the word “pornography” always seems to come up. If the basic assumption in business is that you have to figure out where the demand is, then isn’t sex a sure seller?
I am in the process of setting up some sites [...]
