What was the biggest mistake you made in your startup. ( Business)

I picked the wrong partner in my first business. The fellow ran with project money, when it was finished he showed up shameless… I kept loosing interest in the venture despite being the brains and skill behind the company. The guy later learnt his mistakes but I had long moved on to my current business.

utanimalisa na kicheko…ulibuy za green au red

On the same issue, who have ever grown soghum for selling to Kenya Breweries ???

Buying a mat from my Uncle and na kubamisha the same crew kumbe gari ni mkebe.
Kuweka ngoma ya 80 k nikifiri ita attract waters kumbe ni kitunguu kwa cops.

Don’t even talk about it. Nilikua naitia watoto nyama wanatorokea kwa Jirani.

Same case. I now have a lifetime supply of nail polishes.

This two statements have made me laugh hadi nikaangushwa na swivel yangu.
Mimi yangu ni kungangana nikitafuta rent ya mwezi fulani. I have never been the one to call for help from my parents. Nilikuwa nitafute an extra 7k rent juu all I had was 4 thousand…nikaamua nifanye double double pale kwa mhindi zikazama. Niliuza tablet yangu at least nisilale nje.
Mungu saidia nisiwai ona hayo tena.
Kama hujawai jiuliza kwanini hukupewa matiti na kanyau atleast uende ukauze koinange upate pesa then hujakula shida.

Tried broiler farming. Nikaleta 200 chicken every week. When the first lot was ready, market ikawa flooded. And those chicken can eat! Any extra day unaanza ku count loses… I ended up giving some on credit. Sijalipwa 5 years down the line. Niliwachana nazo kabisa

Zangu zote involve all of the above.

I left my sister-in-law a ka-hardware shop to run while I ran to Nairobi to take a job offer from a friend who had come into a windfall. I thought I would be a real birrionaire before long. 6 months later, my hardware landlord, a very respectable man who had never followed me up for rent and let me pay on any date I wished, started calling kunijulia hali, ati oh nimemtupa sana. Initially, I thought he had genuinely missed me! Kumbe sister-in-law hajawahi lipa rent now going to 8 months!

Mimi na simu zangu za Nairobi nilizamisha biashara hivo.

:D:D:D:D:D:D
Been in the same shit.

:D:D:D

Nakucheka nisamehe, hehe

Maze, umeumia. I thought in this kind of biz, unafaa kutafta market before you even begin? My friend alinielezea unafaa kumake kendo 30k ukienda kuku mia mbili. Vaccination timetable must be followed to the letter otherwise utaamka upate zote zkikufa ju ya kihuruto

Nguruwe pia sio mchezo, utafungulia zote na usahau ulikuwa nazo. The cost of feeds is astronomic

Reta hekaya.

:D. Pole boss

:D:D:D:D:D

Fish farming pia ni shida unalisha lazy neighbors na wengine Wana harvest usiku.Another scenario unakua unafikiri unalisha samaki kumbe ni chora na manyoka ile siku ya harvesting itakua haujui

:D:D
Nacheka ju kuna time tulikopa sistangu pesa tukiwa na beste yangu tukaenda mwea kuweka baze ya kahawa tungu ndio watu wawe wanakuja kuchana miraa hapo kama vile tulikuwa tunaona huko nyeri,
