Magothe Innocent has an amazing thing running, and since I've been part of it for a while now as a partner, he accorded me the opportunity to speak on The Art of Making Money as a Creative while Building a Brand.

So this is it, The Startup Bar, Creatives Edition. The monthly event brings together Founders, Investors, and organizations in the different industries with interest in tech. The community is brought together by which is led by Innocent.

Sasa wacha nikae chini nianze kuandika notes.

I hawked shoes at Juja between 2018-2019, jana na leo, I had a chance to remind myself of the experience and at least appreciate how far I have come. Well, wacha tuseme siwezi lala njaa, I moved some good sales for hoodies and sweatpants.

One of the memorable things about selling shoes from Gikomba was the early mornings! My fren! 😩 Nilikuwa naishi mtaa pale witeithie, so kurauka ilikuwa masaa ya early bird. I had to have boarded the famous Kenya Mpya by 4:30am ndio nikuwe soko by 5:30am.

That ealry routine was the obly ticket to get some good shoes for sale later that day. I would get shoes for KES.100, yes, 100 bob. And later resell them at 200 bob or more depending on the condition of the shoe. On good days, I'd pick the best of the best and sell for more than 200 bob.

I started the business with about 1,700 shillings, That would guarantee me 200 bob transport to and fro the market. That would leave me with 1,500 shillings for 15 pairs. My target was to sell at least 7 shoes and make 1,400 bob, I'd then be left with 8 more shoes for the next day. 8 shoes sounds like a small number, but combined with 2 other sellers we'd have a good pile of shoes ndio tuuze. The next day I'd target to sell 5 and make 1,000 bob.

At the end of two days, I had my clean 2,400 or so.

Waaaaaait! I forgot to say, after getting to the market at 5:30 am, I'd then rush to leave the market by 9am. Trust me, utafikisha hadi 11, because you are not getting the shoes from one seller.

Immediately after, I'd then rush to drop the shoes at Juja and leave the shoes to someone who'll clean and mend the shoes. Yooooh! I started offering employment a while back! 😁😅 Then I'd rush to MKU to do my classes. So my guy would spend the day cleaning and sun-drying the shoes after which repairs were made. Maaaaaan! How I survived those times, I can't tell.

We now thank God that tuko hapa Taptelengei tunafinya Kompyuta inatupatia 🤑🤑🤑 SMH!🙄🙄 Like it's that easy!🤣

Anyway, Goodnight.😁

Good morning!I know it's morning somewhere. Ni k**a nimechoka hii asubuhi. 😁 Blessings Netizens🙏🏿

Last year I had a chance to work with one of the very best creatives in the country, Toni Tahidi High our first ever project was in 2020 when I need assistance with a live streaming event in Embu, and at the time he used to work for a TV Station.

Fast forward to 2023, I have taken a break from everything and Toni gives me a call. I listen to the dream, and I'm totally sold. I branded their first event, a Movie launch, Deadbeat, A Father's Day Story. I was responsible of making sure that their branding was well done, both online and offline.

Then a second project a month later that was a pilot project to determine what audience we are able to pull if we brought our heads together. We embarked on a journey and hosted an event for a couple of months, which went well until we had a burnout and stopped after 8 editions.

Toni had shared with me his dream of having a facelift of his company, and he asked me to start thinking about it. Well, here are the results of our interactions and a rebrand for his company.

That BUSINESS PARTNERSHIP you want to get into is a MARRIAGE!

Remember you have to keep up with your partner's habits and everything that comes with a Marriage!

If you sweep bad habits under the rug, just know you can't do that for long. Approach problems right there and then.

Know what each party brings to the table. Have a partners/director agreement, this will save you a lot of trouble in the future. Partnerships break and you need to be ready for that time.

Business partnerships can be very sensitive and you need to be very present and in the moment. As you build up, ensure all parties are aligned to the goals and they understand what you are building towards.

By being present, you are also able to counter issues or problems as they come.

Hii picha sijui nimeipick kwa nini, but labda tulikuwa tunacheka how Delulu I have been in business before. 😂

Do not make the mistake of opening a business without doing your research and due diligence, or open a business just because your friend is making a killing.
