Speaking of business challenges… In June last year, I took a business loan from @SHONACapital. I was so excited this had to be the turning point. What could go wrong? Turns out… everything can. I used the money well because I knew what was at stake, put into stock from China. Didn’t even touch a coin. Then importation delayeddddddd…URA and the whole process held my goods for 16 weeks, 4 months for something that used to take 6 weeks! In the 4 months, loan repayments started. No cash flow. Rent was running. Stock stuck in a bond in Namanve. Then taxes came out… more than half the cost of the stock I had imported. I sat in my car and cried for 20 minutes and asked myself Naye nfaki ? Why don’t I just stick to my 9-5 and leave this madness!! But then I looked at the people I employ, I picked myself up and somehow found the money within hours paid URA their money. I almost quit. I won’t lie. But I reminded myself, it’s me. I don’t have the luxury of giving up. So I reset. Rethought everything. Told myself if I fail, it won’t be because I didn’t fight. Today, we’re still here @thesoleconnect1 New location: Royce Mall, Level 4, Shop 1&2. New stock in. If you support a small business, you’re doing more than buying. You’re helping someone hold it together one more day.
