At the school I go to, there is a man that is of very humble background. He does not even know how to speak English but sells Coke, Fanta, and Sprite at 30 each making a profit of about 5 shillings on each drink. He also sells chips at 50 bob making a profit of 10 bob on each portion. Not less than 50 students buy chips and a drink every single day. This means he makes a profit of 15 bob for a drink and chips and a total profit of 750 per day…every single day. In ten days he makes a profit of 7500, in twenty days 15K and in thirty days 22, 500 Kshs. Remember he also sells airtime, sweets, water, etc.

Degree holders spend their time liking articles on Facebook but never have any care in the world to implement what they like. Poverty starts from the mind, a mind that just likes things but never to implement those things.
If you want to progress, throw away that degree and start thinking better than someone without a degree. Be prepared to get your hands dirty and work like an ox for your business. Your hard work will pay off.
