Having an exchange session with women

Esther Neema
At the heart of every society is entrepreneurship. Even for countries that have not believed themselves to be enterprising, societies will be forced to think of new ways of being, so as to industrialize, develop and grow.

If that is the case, why the do many of us, never start enterprises, even when we have really good ideas. It is perhaps the fear, that we are not able to grow industries or companies. We never see how, we, or someone like us can be part of something greater than the limits society and ourselves have set for ourselves. I tell you today, you, in this room, are as capable as anyone else, as great as everyone else, and you too can be the greatest supplier. You too can be the greatest service provider.

When I started my first real business at the age of 26, I imagine, that I could ever come up with what was termed as one of the greatest ideas of our time. I only saw a problem, and I though to find a solution. In my simple mind, I though events would be the solution to the loneliness within my neighborhood. This led me to create themed events. It is through this that I would see an opportunity to cater, and later I would now begin to see the challenges that face entrepreneurs. This is what led me to create the Dream Tribe.

I started with nothing, only an idea and a few savings. Today, the same idea has earned me entry in respected tables, and has eventually been able to create the type of work that I really wished I could do. Work, that when I was employed was constantly limited to how far I could go.

Today, I decide how far I could go, how fast I want to run, and I can promote or even demote myself at will. Only because I am entrepreneur.

I urge you today. What are your dreams? What are you really waiting for? Always remember you are the capital. That should never be a limit.

Entrepreneur of the Week : The future belongs to those who belive in the possibilities of their dreams

A wise one said, “The best way to predict the future is to create it”. This is the tale of the Kenyan young folks who either by choice or by circumstance have opted to create a present that defines the future of self-employment and consultancy work. Today, in history there are more and more young CEOs, unlike the previous decades where the entry to entrepreneurship was people in their forty’s or retirees in their fifties, today’s young CEOs are young, dynamic, flexible, and extra creative having an early start. Figuring their lives at a very young age without prior experience has brought out young genius who are both impressive and bold. This allows them, to bring in something new to the table, perhaps never been seen, never been heard. This can be seen from the Tiktok moves that have promoted so many young businesses and enhanced wide reach.
