Entrepreneur

About Me

I'm Timon Njuhigu.Aspiring to be an engineer since childhood. I followed this dream by persuing the correspondece courses in my highschool and college. I am also a freeleance Python Software developer with over 5 years of experience.

One of the most significant hardships I faced was during the initial stages Finding clients and dealing with financial instability were tough, but I tackled these issues by networking extensively, managing my finances carefully, and building a support network. My persistence paid off when I secured my first major contract, leading to increased referrals and greater confidence.

Starting my own business came from a desire for greater control over my work and income. After years of freelancing and managing various projects, I recognized the potential to offer a more tailored service through a cyber café in Kenya. I researched the market, planned meticulously, and invested in essential equipment and technology. My background in software development and my experience in customer service helped me create a unique business model that meets local needs.

My area in Kenya is unique for its fertile land and vibrant culture, blending traditional values with modern influences. Many people have embraced technology, reflecting a shift from traditional practices to innovative solutions, which enriches the community’s dynamic environment.

In my free time, I’m passionate about racing games. I enjoy the thrill of high-speed competition and the challenge of mastering different tracks and vehicles. It’s a unique hobby that combines strategy, skill, and adrenaline, providing a fun and immersive escape.

My Business

I run a Cyber Cafe. I offer printing services and other online services like passport and visa applications, computer diagnosis, and troubleshooting.

These services are crucial because many people need assistance in these areas and often require printing afterward. For example, for a successful passport application in Kenya, clients need to print the payment receipt and biometric data files. The same applies to ID applications, school placement applications, health applications, etc.

I chose this business because of my passion for technology and a desire to assist people.

My typical costs include rent, utilities, internet service, maintenance of computers and equipment, and employee wages. Revenue is generated from customer usage fees for internet access, printing, scanning, and other related services.

I reinvest the profits in growing the business, supporting my home, and helping my younger brother.
