How I started From Nothing To A Millionaire

 



I love money, told you no money means

everything, yeah okay so how I started

out .I started out with zero capital,

zero capital zero, yes yes and I keep

telling my students and other people you

need zero capital to start the business.


You want all you need is your idea, I

know of a friend who wanted to set a

business ,she had the idea but she didn't

have the money so she needed to raise a

hundred thousand shillings and what she

did was put together, a list of a hundred

people who would give her a thousand

bob and she was able to get a hundred

thousand, to start a business on my case

as an Events Manager, all I needed was

the skill of what it is ,that I wanted to

do and approached people a lot of how

grand my business is from referrals from

referrals even from people who.


 I have

never planned an event for but just from

this conversation they're like oh she's

passionate about it passion will tell

you right yeah she's passionate about it,

so let's give her a try someone tells

you their budget and then you're able to

work from it of course.


 I also tried to

plan my own events back in 2013 I

planned a series of events called the

meetup meets like, Yama yes people come

and network over me over meats which was

for young professionals and it worked

well so all we need to have is the zeal

the knowledge and they know how or how

to go about it and then you start all

right then money will find you all right

you mentioned something to do with you

know you're not having the best of

feeling when of course you have vendors

no delivering as expected but there's

the other side of clients who find it

difficult or maybe were difficult to pay

how have you been dealing with such it's

really painful when you have delivered a

product or a service and the client is

hesitant to pay.


Not even because of quality because if

it's quality they need something that

you can negotiate but they've just they

keep giving you stories I'll pay

tomorrow I'll pay then the day after I'm

still trying to find money it's it feels

bad because you put a lot of effort in

it so of course we had we've had those

challenges before and then we decided

the easiest way to go about it is to,

have a contract in fact that's what I

want it's binding contract yeah that

says this is what you expected to pay on

this particular date and if you don't

pay this is going to be the repercussion

we've had situations where like with a

lot of vendors if you don't pay

according to their terms and conditions

they will either pull out and if they

pull out you lose your deposit yeah or

they actually just don't show up so you

find a situation where someone are

supposed to deliver.


Particular goods for an event they've

delivered you can see there they're down

the truck but they will not be offloaded

until someone makes a payment because of

precedence and I keep saying how clients

should understand that if I'm being

tough on my payments it's not because of

you as a person no it's just what I've

been through and I don't go through that

again I don't want to ruin our

relationship I've not had the same issue

with vendors I work with very specific

people who understand how I work what

are my expectations and it's repeat

business so.


 I cannot complain about

vendors really well said and I'm sure

you must be eagerly waiting to get that

financial advice but before we get to

that that should be the last short let's

cross over to quickfire and just get to

know so much sue over the personal life

of this beauty that we have on set today.
