It’s while in your twenties that you land yourself a career, slowly start paying your own bills, get your own place and perhaps start making decisions in regard to marriage and family, but most importantly it’s a point in your life where you will probably land yourself your first job. When's the ideal time to quit your first job and move on to the next?

We are all created different but what is inevitably evident is that none of us as human beings has a talent that applies to everything under the sun. We have our strengths and weaknesses and in order to succeed at whatever task we undertake, it is best to know what these are. In this particular instance, it helps to know strengths and weaknesses so that you can get someone to work for you in an area where you have a weakness, while you cover the business needs that are better suited to your strengths.

A business, any running business is a fragile thing. Anyone who knows anything can tell you that the devil truly always is in the details. A business, no matter how sturdy it may seem, can fall like a stack of badly arranged cards if some of the fundamental…

I watched Skyfall. It was everything you think it is going to be, and more (not Avengers, but very, very close). Daniel Craig is an amazing man. He leaps and loves and lords over the MI6 like a born master of espionage. Javier Bardem is a…

Malawi expects to earn KES 8.5 trillion a year from 3000 metric tons of this mineral. Kenya can produce up to 3600 metric tons. Do the math.

First of all, salespeople will tell you that closing sales is not a walk in the park. I have seen many salespeople come and go, with few sales under their belt. While closing sales might not be easy, employers will tell you that getting good sales people is even harder. Good salespeople will tell you of the many close sales, that really never close. But again, that is not what is wrong with the commission based sales system. So what it?

The US Financial crisis experienced in 2008/09 had far reaching consequences. One of it’s ripple effects was exposing European countries such as Greece with unsustainable fiscal policies to a debt crisis. Termed the most serious financial crisis in over 82 years, the European debt crisis itself has the…

The monthly repayments are 93,002 which totals to KES 1,116,024. The interest paid is therefore KES 116,024 only. Assuming no other charges and penalties are levied during the life of the loan, total cost for this borrowing becomes KES 150,025 only. This translates to a cost of 15% of the loan amount. And that's just for one type of loan. Is that loan that you want to get really worth the cost?

Land is extremely valuable as collateral. In fact, I would go as far as to say that for a borrower, it is an asset worth much more than its actual value. A land parcel worth 2 million could be used to acquire several consecutive loans worth a little less than the 2 million and the total amount of the loans may be far more than the actual value of the land.

Apple thought that it would be “appropriate” to introduce something bigger but not laptop sized to the market. So they made the original iPad. 9.7 inches of touch screen goodness. Initially seen as a “must have” by fans of technology, the iPad became so successful that’s it’s become a tool. And the rest, as they say, is history.
