FACE TO FACE WITH TERRORISM: DEMYSTIFYING ENTREPRENEURSHIP #19



We get many referrals. It is all fun until we meet the “terrorists”. Yikes. We get these guys whose idea of joy is as cheap as possible almost nothing. I go all the way to the airport for the first meeting, and even after wearing a red dress, still came out with a very bad deal.
Should have noted from the first interaction, this may not go down well. But still took it.
So as usual we are not going to compromise on how we do it, we went all out. So they were full of praises, a lot of them. This time though couldn't afford Yusuf, so we do it self, very proud to have pulled it off. Weh.  Only, now, not only are we sleeping at midnight, waking up at 3:00, but equally also stuck at airport the whole day for 200 Bob a plate. It is driving us crazy, because equally we have the crazy customer as well who has shifting goal posts.
So the Lord gives us self control to practice loving our neighbors. We endure all. But we realize we are getting tired. So we partner to make this possible. At least for breakfast.
So from a close restaurant we get a partner. On the first day, they brought us the most amazing mandazis where people were even closing their eyes to enjoy them. The second day we were unpleasantly surprised to other unique mandazis that were in all shapes and sizes. Weh, the chef for the restaurant had pull a quitting in the morning. This day, as we are opening the dish for our guests, we are opening slowly and gently. But, weh, we are internally sweating in disbelief that this was happening.
Now the surprise that drove the customs crazy was on the day, we got maize. They were not four pieces of maize I think the people were going crazy at this moment. I was going crazy and still smiling. We were doing so badly. On reaching home, I check my email I see a request for proposal for PR, but at this point truly at what point am I writing the proposal, and at what point am I washing 30,000 dishes, and what point am I cooking and preparing for the next day and serving people. And at this point I am asking myself, sure Esther Neema, what is the meaning of all this?
