Kenyan Dream - r/Kenya

Post from ‘Kiprono David O.G.W” connected Facebook

If it's excessively long, it decidedly isn't for you.

The location beneath is simply a luxurious location successful Nairobi situated successful Magnolia Hills, Kirawa roadworthy successful Kitusuru. The proprietor isn't a politician. Just a hard-working individual.

There exists thing known arsenic The Kenyan Dream. Many unrecorded it. Many imagination it. And each it takes to activate it is to person a full caput displacement connected what you deliberation you know.

Question. Have you ever asked yourself why, with each the wealth they have, affluent radical successful Kenya ne'er relocate? I mean, Kirubi could easy ain a chatteau successful France oregon a villa successful Monte Carlo right? Why bash affluent foreigners deliberation Kenya is astonishing and privation to unrecorded here? I mean schools similar Turi oregon RVA big children of Africa's affluent presidents, businessmen and diplomats. What Kenya is this they spot that galore of america don't?

Well, it's because, erstwhile you tune into a definite frequence of life, each your antennae and transmitters person are the energies of that frequency. In different words, we are, what we attract.

Reality, is relative. What you deliberation is existent doesn't mean it's universally true. What you deliberation is intolerable is imaginable to idiosyncratic else.

Change your frequencies. Start by changing your societal circles, the things you work online and the vigor you are attracted to. The quality caput is precise interesting. It ever finds a mode to marque excuse for itself erstwhile defeated.

We person a precise debased threshold of inspiration. For instance;

Peter Munga, the laminitis of Equity Bank is worthy $170M.

Manu Chandaria is worthy $280M.

Christian Ronaldo, a young footballer has conscionable surpassed the $1B mark.

A instrumentalist known arsenic Kanye West is successful the ranges of $1B dollars.

A basketballer called Michael Jordan is worthy $2.5B.

For objectivity sakes, let's not worth politicians for now.

We emotion to use our inequities and failures connected others' lives and we thin to judge that immoderate is intolerable to us, indispensable beryllium intolerable to others.

Examples;

When 1 sees a miss they utilized to know, who disappears and returns with immoderate money, bully looks and caller possessions, the archetypal happening they volition accidental is that she indispensable person recovered a sponsor oregon is simply a prostitute. To them, there's perfectly nary mode she could person worked hard connected her own.

When they spot a young antheral who was erstwhile mediocre and has succeeded, beyond their expectations, they'd alternatively presume it's due to the fact that the young antheral is into drugs, oregon this different atrocious excuse lazy radical telephone 'illuminati'.

If they saw a mediate aged antheral oregon idiosyncratic they had thought was washed up who abruptly makes money, the champion mentation volition ever beryllium "ameiba pesa za tender" oregon that helium is corrupt.

This is because, we task our ain inefficiencies to others. Not here. I volition amusement you the different broadside of things and talk the unspoken.

There's a representation I had posted earlier and captioned it this: Don't beryllium salty. Live the Kenyan dream.

As usual, arsenic with specified pictures particularly erstwhile thing opulent is associated with a politician, galore uninformed radical spell connected to spew uninformed commentaries connected the aforesaid and would easy property it to ' Stolen Wealth '.

Be arsenic it may, who told you that owning a chopper is simply a large deal? determination are galore chartless Kenyans who person worked hard and ain specified things. After all, antheral was created to conquer adversity, not to wallow successful it.

I precocious wrote that we request to accommodate otherwise and alteration however we bash things to past station covid economical doldrums. Before we adjacent embark connected that aforesaid assistance journey, we indispensable archetypal proudly bring retired the possibilities that prevarication successful us. We indispensable attest and evangelize astir the Kenyan dream.

7 years ago, I went to spot a person successful his bureau successful regards to immoderate integer enactment for his idiosyncratic businesses helium was offering me. He wasn't a apical notch politician, however, what I realised was that helium had amassed truthful overmuch wealthiness implicit time. As usual, conscionable similar astir of you, I rapidly concluded that helium had made his wealth from corrupt deals and having his hands successful the nationalist coffers.

As the enactment commenced, helium introduced maine to his woman who was moving their businesses and we toured his facilities accross the country. The much I engaged with them, the much I had a full caput displacement connected what I thought I knew.

You see, helium was an exporter of precise costly bureau furnishings helium made successful immoderate nondescript location. He had ample commercialized histrion farms and this raked him hundreds of millions each turn. I soon realised that helium was a astute politician. He had utilized his governmental bureau to traverse the state and larn it. He explored imaginable that galore didn't adjacent origin and executed his concern diligently. To him, authorities had been conscionable a stepping chromatic to entree information.

That was my aha moment. To many, including immoderate of you, authorities is an extremity unto itself portion to astute ones, proximity to governmental powerfulness means entree to accusation and exposure. If you person a concern mind, you instrumentality vantage of this.

How galore of you cognize what opportunities your neighbouring counties have? Have you, a Luo from Siaya, explored opportunities successful Kwale that Kwale radical don't appreciate? Have you, a Kamba from Makueni bothered to cognize what concern you tin bash successful Kisii? Have you, a kalenjin husbandman known what you tin bash successful Isiolo? I stake you don't adjacent deliberation of it that way. I spot h2o hyacinth successful Kisumu and I spot a multibillion endeavor successful furniture, bags, apparel and accessories with acceptable markets globally. Someone other sees a nuisance of a weed slowing down sportfishing prospects portion meantime Chinese food is thriving successful Kenya. Adapt.

We tin hole Kenya by fixing our idiosyncratic aspirations.

Young radical person what it takes to marque it. There's a young man, and he's a person some offline and present connected FB who bought a caller Discovery 4 little than 2 years agone retired of thing other but, blogging. He was 26. Yes, these galore words we constitute tin alteration lives financially if you cognize what to bash with them.

There's besides my different associate( immoderate of you who cognize maine personally cognize who I'm taking about) who built an IT strategy for a overseas authorities and bought his Range Rover Autobiography Supercharged 5L cash, from RMA. 30M. Not connected slope loans. He was 34. And of people they person galore different investments. No corruption. No godfathers. No illuminati . Adaptability.

I grew up successful a commercialized farming country called Kericho. Many years ago, an aged antheral called Isiah worked for an Asian businessman arsenic a loader successful his wholesalers. He aboriginal near to commencement his ain indigenous wholesalers and ate into the marketplace stock of this Asian businessman. In fewer years, the aged antheral had dispersed his wings acold and wide. When helium was astir to retire, helium gave his sons the reigns of the concern and the sons diversified into commercialized haulage. Transport. Their contiguous prospects were the ample beverage farms. The trucks would transport beverage to mombasa auction and instrumentality with different items for traders successful occidental Kenya. In little than 10 years, the sons had grown the fleet of agelong haul trucks to much than 150. As they were engaged moving wholesalers and trucking, immoderate of their peers had migrated to Nairobi to "seek greener pastures". One of the sons erstwhile said " I've been to Nairobi and I can't grip each that drama. The lone clip I'll unrecorded successful nairobi is erstwhile I person a Billion successful my slope ". It sounded similar a comic joke. But fewer years later, they got lucrative transport concern contracts and arsenic they say, the remainder is history. He made his Billion, moved to the astir affluent areas of Karen, bought a location successful Spain and Australia and lives his Kenyan dream.

There's a man who was erstwhile my parents' tenant successful Kericho. A precise hardworking young kikuyu called Jimmy. This man started arsenic a hawker earlier we fto him abstraction to tally his covering business. He grew his concern successful strides and arsenic we speak, drives a Porsche Cayenne, has a artifact of apartments etc. He knew that helium couldn't vie successful crowded cities...he needed to find a niche and beryllium consistent. No godfathers, nary corruption. Adaptability.

Did you cognize that the owners (major shareholders) of Braeburn Schools are from Kericho? In information the manager spends much clip successful his workplace successful abbreviated connected horseback than successful Nairobi. Kenyan Dream.

There are truthful galore specified cases I tin suffer count. And my friends from Kericho astir decidedly cognize these people. I person utilized individuals I cognize personally and who I tin relationship for due to the fact that I don't privation to marque hollow statements astir the anticipation of a Kenyan Dream.

5 years ago, I decided to situation myself similar the person I met 2 years earlier. I did my probe and realised that being a millionaire wasn't rocket science. During my research, I went to Gikomba successful nairobi and saw however lucrative the timber manufacture was. I learnt astir the antithetic kinds of timber and it's uses and the farming process and patience involved. The shortest a histrion could turn for commercialized benefits was astir 7 years.

I realised that I had immoderate onshore successful rainy Kericho that I hardly used. I visited a KEFRI bureau and got each information I required. An acre of onshore could battalion up up to 1800 trees with adjacent spacing. There were 2 lucrative histrion types to plant. Eucalyptus Grandis( Blue Gum) and Cyprus. Since Blue gum were not bully adjacent stream beds, I lone planted 500 of them successful controlled absorption connected a 2 acre farm. I past went to lease immoderate 10 acres onshore elsewhere . Those who person done farming recognize that it's inexpensive to lease land. At astir 5k an acre per year, I could lease it for 10 years payable annually. I embarked connected planting 20,000 trees and had the play of managing the seedlings for the archetypal 6 months arsenic they settled into the ground. Thereafter, the trees went up by themselves with prunning each twelvemonth for the archetypal 4 years.

I went backmost to Nairobi to proceed with my hustle and shamba ya mawe brokenness. The person had taught maine something. He had taught maine to look astatine lumbering the trees and selling them arsenic timber and furnishings strips but not arsenic logs. This way, 1 could easy marque astir 15k per histrion alternatively of 5k per log. I did the math. I bought fewer logs, and lumbered them and converted them into finished timber products and I really sold them to wood enactment workshops and saw the profits. That was successful 2014. So I had the assurance to commencement the journey. 15k per histrion multiplied 20,000 times was 300M. Take retired each costs and each inputs and you're inactive successful the hundreds of millions. I realised that if I was lazy and didn't privation to lumber them personally, I'd inactive merchantability them arsenic logs consecutive from the workplace astatine 5k per log and inactive marque 100M. And the histrion stumps would gain immoderate fewer much millions successful charcoal. All 1 needed was to beryllium inactive for fewer years. He told maine " you'd alternatively tally astir for 7 years looking for opportunities and markets and doing different jobs knowing that you've virtually grown your money". So, present you know, successful 3 years time, look for maine we devour mbuzi successful Abu Dhabi. Lol

This is simply a world galore commercialized histrion farmers understand.

But wait, we emotion speedy hole solutions. Patience is simply a virtuousness we hardly fuss with.

An accountant buddy of excavation amazed friends a twelvemonth agone with a marque caller BMW X5. We knew helium was astir apt paid by a bully auditing client.

Wrong.

He had been redeeming his wealth and started a kienyeji chickenhearted business. In a span of a twelvemonth helium had rared 3000 birds. As helium went astir auditing businesses, helium marketed his chickenhearted and soon, helium got 4 accordant orders of 320 chickenhearted per month. It was a bully fig due to the fact that by the clip helium exhausted the past 1 he'd person replenished the flock to conscionable the monthly demand. At a wholesale terms of 800Bob a chicken. He was making 256k per period consistently from his chickenhearted broadside hustle.

Now backmost to politicians. In rift valley, different than the commercialized cultivation towns, onshore is inexpensive and arable. Jackson Kibor has much than 5000 acres. He plants maize. Ruto has thousands of chickenhearted and thousands of acres of land. Farming records unsocial rake these men hundreds of millions per harvest. Buying houses and choppers are not a large deal, arsenic it's wrong the income range. Plus, arsenic a concern man, owning a chopper is different commercialized venture. One tin nett you a cardinal bob per day, truthful buying 1 and managing it professionally has bully returns connected investment. Here's the comic truth, they're not the astir palmy farmers.

Bhimji Depar Shah an chartless Kenyan businessman is worthy $700M portion Kenyatta is $580M.

Reality is relative.

The intent of this precise agelong station is to beryllium something, that determination are fewer radical who travel online to look for inspirations. They request to cognize that adjacent from villages distant from the city, billionaires are made everyday. Don't beryllium excessively embarrassed to ain your story. Remember, swag ne'er fed a man.

The likes of Karume, Kirima, Michuki etc are each villagers who came to the metropolis to conquer... So tin you.

The quickest mode to slump is to look astatine your qualifications and world indoctrination and effort to use it to wealthiness creation.

Right astir now, your acquisition won't marque you wealthy. Education volition pass you, exposure you, bid you but your adaptability and astutenes volition marque you past the tides.

Khaligraph Jones was precocious a broke lad from Kayole. Right present helium lives good and tin fend for his family. He lives the Kenyan dream.

Negativity volition dilatory you down.

There is simply a Kenyan dream. Try to find it.
