We must thank the President for creating time to meet SMEs during the one-on-one SME Presidential round table at the Strathmore. As a mentor to thousands of SMEs, this was a great move by all means. Keep up Mr President. Off course the President has been holding many round table meetings with big titans over the years and his gesture to seat with the ‘Wanjiku’ SMEs was the best thing this year.
Most Kenyans are hardworking and extremely optimistic people by all standards. For the last 10 years, the tax burden has fallen on the shoulders of the few who pay taxes and support the 48 million population. The Government is the custodian of all the taxes paid, this custodian has been having challenges of managing the people’s money, and the adoption of the new constitution was the story that broke ‘Wanjikus’ back.

The power of mentorship cannot be underestimated. Through this I have learnt that what I do more often than not affects people in places far and wide. As many of you are aware, I have been an ardent reader and follower of John Maxwell. In fact, many of his books guide what I do as a person and I have endeavored to share the same with those whose lives I have impacted.
For the last 20 years, I have done mentorship to thousands of individuals across the globe. I have done inspiration talks in the USA, Europe, Africa, Dubai, South Africa, East Africa and parts of Asia.

Days come and go at a faster rate than we expect. The year is also running fast like the rivers of the Aberdare Range. If you do not act now on your assignment, you may never do it and you automatically attract mediocrity in your precious life. Let me share with you here, what has so far worked for me. You can also try it:
Our just concluded visit to Raleigh, North Carolina was a game-changer for Optiven Group and to me as a person. This is a city that is entwined as a sister city with 5 other major world metropolises including Nairobi City.

There is need for the working force or at least the employable population to embrace the reality that sooner or later, a time will come when retirement will beckon. The realization of this truth is perhaps what contributes to the rising number of retirees living in misery once their time to leave the work force arrives.
In the presence of youth, the older generation is either jittery or confident – depending on how their world view of youth is shaped. It is not weird to hear the older generation lamenting about what has become of the youth in the current generation? Suffice to say that some have even failed to understand how to refer to this group of people and decided to christen them as Generation Z.
During one of my recent visit to Frankfurt, Germany, I had an opportunity to share a dinner with some three awesome Kenyan ladies who couldn’t individually manage to buy property back in their motherland. These women ingeniously decided to circumvent their temporary impediment by coming together to build a formidable real Estate portfolio as a team, through Optiven (www.optiven.co.ke).
