I wa born in thika, Muiri near gatukuyu shopping center, i went to Muirigo primary school, Senior Chief Koinange high school and later to Ashley's beauty college. i ventured into business so that i can be able to realize my dreams i was given some money by my parents to cater for the start up costs. i started doing business since i always had passion for business since i was a small kid. I love where i come from because people are innovative, generous and love business. My child wants to be an Engineer when he grows up. I love swimming, watching movies and listening to gospel music.
i have opened a new electrics shop and has an Mpesa. Mpesa has a lot of demand in the area due to increased mobile money transfers. I chose this kind of business since the area has demand for the products and has the potential for growth in business. Currently i have one employee whom i pay $66.7 per month and rent 0f $44.4 per month, i usually get profits of about $333.4per month from the shop and mpesa. the profits i get i pay rent and the worker, the rest i just put it back to the business.
