I started making shaggy mats last year and so far it's been a thrilling journey. I also want to sell second hand clothes and shoes. The world of business is very challenging and requires a very sharp mind. Business has been slow for the past three months and this has made it difficult for me to make any meaningful progress, but with the patience that my business has taught me, I hope to make it through this difficult season. I have also learnt new things in the process which I hope to pursue to make positive progress.

I began making shaggy mats as a hobby, then later with the money I had acquired from my savings. This started from a simple KES 1000 that I had saved during a very difficult season. I say misfortunes can birth good things. I want to start this clothes business with only a few pieces of clothes. I intend to build it up to a wholesale level. For the shaggy mats, I also want to expand to a wider market as I also train other interested women at a fee.

I found a shop in a busy area that is good for business. The owner of the shop sells shoes and other beauty products. I want to rent part of her space to cash in on some of her customers. I have sampled a little and I sold the few pieces of clothes I had there. I have been selling mostly from referrals and I think it is time I think of having a shop. I want to start small by subletting this small space to test it out.
