Sounds almost like an excerpt from "Rich Dad Poor Dad", I can tell you've been very busy. Well, keep up the good work and I almost sure that you will be more than compensated for the risks that you decided to take today!Beninhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00587080351614226889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37091906.post-10024002810373561202007-02-19T02:32:00.000-05:002007-02-19T02:32:00.000-05:00I made a mistake earlier when I said 67% plan to s...I made a mistake earlier when I said 67% plan to start a business in Africa very soon--your stats indicate 41.67%.<BR/>It is difficult leaving a decent position with growth potential and venture into entrepreneurship, but life is all about taking risk--as a credit analyst u should know all about that. My decision was based on many factors: the great opportunities that exists in Kenya, the great exposure that I have had here in the states, my desire to be independent and compensated according to my input. It also had to do with my age and being able to take a bigger risk now rather than later.Empower Kenyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04213301805668785274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37091906.post-88710434417972306572007-02-18T20:34:00.000-05:002007-02-18T20:34:00.000-05:00Hoseah:Excellent insights.

Actually, I was hoping to start with you! Your experiences in starting the business from the States and selecting partners, the way that you were able to divise such an idea from the States, and also the way that you and your partners have been marketing your company all sound very intriguing. In fact, there is one fellow who reads this blog who may be a great prospective client for you in Kenya!<BR/><BR/>Thanks Muturi!Beninhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00587080351614226889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37091906.post-63300077605280423812007-02-18T20:06:00.000-05:002007-02-18T20:06:00.000-05:00Mwangi,Quite interesting to see the results of you...Mwangi,<BR/>Quite interesting to see the results of your survey. If 50% of the people involved said they were already doing business in Africa and 67% said they plan to start business very soon, then it would be interesting and valuable to get some advice from those who have already engaged in business--so that the 67% who are on their way can have a better chance of success.<BR/>Cheers<BR/>BTW, it was nice to finally chat with you in personEmpower Kenyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04213301805668785274noreply@blogger.com
