Am a jovial go-getter and I seek to make the best of small opportunities and turn them into a gold mine. My business came about as a venture to give myself extra cash but through the many ideas I received I discovered I was sitting on a fortune which I exploit everyday. Having a humble childhood with people who didn't believe I could make it has steered my morale all through. I love singing as a hobby and am a worship leader in our church and because of my knowledge in sound systems and electronics I serve very well in the technical and sound department. I have a passion for singing and often on my free time i teach my peers how to play advanced chord piano and in keys such as G E and F sharp am looking forward one day not only to run one enterprise but but a series of them both in product and service. Having done numerous job what motivated me was the need to have a side hustle and thereby I was able to think outside the box and come up with an electronic repair warehouse and having my knowledge coming from books classes and materials online especially from cybrary.it . I term myself privileged and one thing I know and understand there is no one who is alive that is poor we all have something to give.
I run a service venture in mathare area one located at Nairobi eastates where in my shop I deal with repairs of electrical items and maintainance. This includes repairs of DVDs, mobile phones and computers. The area am in is in demand for expertise of such items which i posses on the other hand apart from running this business i have a full time job at an advertising company which assists me in covering my expenses therefore i suppliment my earnings thereby eliminating the possibility of becoming solely dependent on my business my aim is to open more branch shops of my kind and serve many as possible.
I will buy brochures and pamplets and hire two employees valued at $5 for a day to spread the good news about my business in which am expecting a high turnout in terms of customers in need of my services. Moreover I will buy some books of record keeping valued at $2 for the proper account system of my cash inflows and outflows.
