Message to Students and Young People: Start Making Money this 2020.
I can remember well when I was a college student about a decade ago. Social media was being used but not in the same magnitude it's being used today. Technology is fast advancing and soon the environment we are living and working in will be totally different. Sometimes I imagine the kind of life we shall experience ten years from now.
While in school, I used to believe that one has to clear studies, get a decent job in order to make good money. Today things have changed. College Students are making millions of money at the comfort of their college living rooms by just being online 2-3 hours a day. This to a parent back in the village is nothing but a dream. By the time a student is graduating they already own a more expensive homes than their parents.
I envision a Kenya in 2030 where God's wisdom and personal attitude towards life will be the determinant of one's level of success in life. I used to wonder why some book have been entitled "Why 'A' students work for 'C' students" until I realized that actually it's a fact that A graduates are working for C graduates not to mention the 'Pass' guys employing 'Honors' brains. The Middle class and the Rich all went to the same schools scored different grades and pursued different opportunities.
How I wish I could be a college teacher so that I can teach college students on how to prepare for what lies ahead of them. I love teaching but I hate being a teacher. Nevertheless I am teaching students anyway, but only those who are willing to get out of their norm and think outside the box. I realized that you don't have to be in class standing in front of students to be able to teach because times have changed-mostly I do online training, coaching and mentor-ship on Career, Business and Finance.
I now know it’s possible to get that dream job when you are still young, I got mine at age 29. I know it’s possible to achieve all your dreams by working SMART just for FOUR to TEN years instead of working so HARD for FORTY to SEVENTY years.
I hereby invite any young person who is yet to start living (Anyone below 40 years) and would wish to live a good life to book a coaching session with me. We also have young people who are aged 70 because I believe age is just but the number of years one has experienced this life either knowingly or unknowingly. I have a good pack for each of you to be able to grow irrespective of where you are at the moment. It’s all about taking initiative. If you do nothing, then don’t expect anything different to happen. Look forward to meeting you soon. Thanks for reading this article, I know you have learnt something.

I am happy to read my own article years later. It's interesting how I have grown but maintained the same positive and rich mindset. As I said above, see you soon!
