Wadau you know KRA are saying no company based in Kenya will be allowed to operate without employees and that the employees must remit PAYE. But here is the most interesting part. If you run your company as a sole shareholder and Director while you don't have any employees on record, they're saying you should indicate that the company has employed you and you set a salary that the company pays you which will be reflecting in your personal account every month. From this salary you will then be required to be remitting PAYE before or on 9th of every month. My question then, is it possible to employ yourself in your company that makes millions and give yourself a salary that's below the PAYE threshold/bracket? Syllabus ya Taxman is running faster that late Kelvin Kiptum.

Cardio sucks until you've done it every day, consistently for 4 weeks Then it becomes a beta-endorphin, endocannabinoid, and dopamine addiction A way of life A persons attitude about cardio will tell you how often they actually do it

You must play dumb. Ask dumb questions, request clarifications. Never show your intelligence outright. Force the others to overexplain and gather intel. Few understand: high intelligence is always perceived as a threat.

What a moronic war. Can't wait to see the oil prices on Monday 🤣🤣🤣

@leviathancrypto You're a legend for all you've done and shared for free. Welcome back!

The past two years have been absolutely draining. Went through some really difficult stuff irl, but things are finally looking a bit better. I really missed sharing & building stuff here, so I'm gonna try to get back to it. Not sure what’s next but happy to be back :)

As a man, Neverrrrrrrrrrrr bring up a relatable story about yourself when someone is telling you something about themselves, Just listen.

Imagine a sniper who shoots because he is tired of waiting for the target. He misses, reveals his position, and fails the mission. Boredom is not a reason to pull the trigger. It is part of the job description. Good night 😴

【A Trader’s Work Is 99% Waiting, 1% Clicking】 Doing nothing is not laziness. Waiting for the right moment, letting profits run, and waiting for the next opportunity are all core parts of a trader’s job. Yet many people do not truly grasp the importance of this act of waiting. ■Waiting Improves Trade Quality Most of trading is waiting. The actual time spent clicking is negligible; the rest is patient restraint. By waiting, you limit yourself to only properly timed trades, let profits extend by rule, and avoid unnecessary post‑trade tinkering until the next setup. Waiting is what raises the quality of your trading and the only way to gather the right samples for probability to do its work. ■Clarify What to Wait For Inexperienced traders cannot wait and feel uneasy unless they are always in a position, believing they cannot earn without trading. They fail to wait because they do not know why waiting matters, how it ultimately translates into profits, and—most of all—what they should be waiting for. You cannot wait if you do not know what you are waiting for in the first place. Define the trades you should wait for and the trades you should take. Here is what you must do. ・Build a system with edge through rigorous testing. ・Define your “must‑take” trades and codify the rules clearly, including do‑not‑trade rules. ・Draft a trade plan in advance and wait relentlessly until the market matches it. ・Execute only when it does, without hesitation or second‑guessing. ■Eliminate Discretion The opportunities you hunt down in desperation are rarely good. Take only the ones that come to you. Trading is not about chasing; you act because the rules leave you no choice. There is no room for selective judgment like “I lost last time, so I’ll skip this one.” Your opinions are irrelevant; execute only what the rules require. Where there is no choice, there is no regret. ■Losses Are High‑Quality Samples Too Probability works on the totality of your trade samples. Do not contaminate the sample. Trade quality is not about wins or losses. Quality means whether you followed the rules of an edge‑bearing system. Do not treat a loss as a low‑quality trade. A rule‑based stop is a high‑quality sample. A system with edge is designed so that, by stopping out according to the rules, profits remain. Remember that rule‑consistent stop‑losses carry edge and confirm the system is functioning properly. ■The Harvest Comes Much Later What matters is how faithfully you executed what the plan called for when it matched the plan. Your job is to keep functioning precisely as a component of the system. Do not try to win. Do not try to avoid losing. Plan the trade and act accordingly, steadily accumulating high‑quality samples over time. Leave the rest to the law of large numbers and the convergence of probabilities. Probability goes to work much later than you think. Even when the system’s edge is not visible, it is taking root like a plant beneath the soil. Do not stop watering. Work with the understanding that the harvest is not now but far ahead. If you understand these concepts but struggle to execute them consistently, my books cover the full framework: probabilistic thinking, edge, and execution. 📚 Books 👇 payhip.com/YumiSakura/col…

Most traders want certainty. Pros trust probability.

@PurelyFootball 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 Man you can't make this stuff up!

🗣️ Luca Toni on Van Gaal: "He has a bad temper and he approaches players the wrong way. He's a dictator, except with his inner circle of Dutchmen. One day he told the team "You don't have the balls that I have," and he took down his pants. But he had a big belly, so we couldn't see the balls."

Buy a new secondary phone, don't even put a SIM in it. Recommend, get a pixel, remove stock android and install Graphene OS. Use a VPN, install signal and whatsapp with a different SIM number from another country.

As a man, nobody is coming to save you. Not your friends, not your family, not society. If you get lazy, unfocused, or weak life will crush you without mercy. So stay hungry. Cut off distractions. Keep your discipline tight. Your future depends on the choices you make today, and you don’t get to blame anyone when things fall apart.

@TedPillows NOTHING LIKE SOME RED LIGHT THERAPY

@RufasKe Spot on with the analysis as always man. 👌I see dark clouds ahead for Kenya's economy.

There's no better time to start Dollar Cost Averaging into Bitcoin than today. First, the KES is very stable. That's not going to last unless you trust William Rooftop. Second, it's selling at a 28% discount. A noticeable pattern where BTC often does this before pumping. Third, IMF wants the CBK to quit stabilizing the shilling. Guess what direction the IMF has recommended for other nations before us under SAPs. Fourth, check Kenya's debt maturities.. they are coming in big and heavy over the next 3 years. Extra taxation will lead into FB2024-like protests. So, the KES 5,000 note they are proposing hints at more money printing which will spike inflation. That is, the price of everything in the country goes up. Fifth, you don't have an option. MMF returns are now looking like a dwarf. Bonds are bleeding by the day. The great performing NSE is quickly meeting investors who've been holding the bag for decades. They want exit liquidity. Bitcoin is your only safe way to preserve purchasing power. Lastly, have you ever effed the government? FAFO!
