  #EverlastingPostAlert #IhaveWrittenAWholeBook #DontBlockMe WHAT DO EMERGING ENTRPRENEUR’S REALLY NEED? Ever hosted a party? What goes on in your mind? What if someone does not show up? Can you imagine that? Now imagine that every day!!! For a young entrepreneur or a young person doing business, that is the daily living frens, what if nobody comes? True #characterdevelopment don’t you think? I remember when I held my first event when I was a quarter-century old then. And remember beginning with such excitement to design what I thought would be an out-of-this-world event. With my continuous, hyper energy, believe me I was going to pull it off almost, solo, but it didn’t feel as good as when friends of mine and neighbors offered to join me. It was such a relief and a sense of joy to have a person who was really supportive of you and dedicated to your win. It even got more exciting, when the first person pays up for your gig. Well, I still remember the first two people to date. S...

What will It take you to start your Dream

Image
  Every day , I get to see and hear so many ideas that inspire me and make me think man, that is really an awesome idea, it would really be fun to have it. Interacting with people makes you see the genius in them, the innate potential that lays in all of us to be great and give our awesome contribution to the world. But guess what many ideas get stuck in business plans, early morning storytelling when people are broke and are daydreaming about possibilities. We get stuck in perfectionism and procrastination. Today, ask yourself, what can I do today to lead me closer to the Dream. Don't procrastinate or only write it down. Do it right away. Write the email, make the call, and pay for it. Don't postpone your dreams any longer. #JustDoIt #DreamStart #DreamTribe #DreamTips "A journey of 1000 miles begins with one step", the first one.

The jovial and Jolly lass Lavender Odeny is a Co-founder of Renman Africa, an agri-manufacturing company in Malindi Kenya that is processing raw cassava into flour. At a very young age, the agripreneur enthusiast is passionate about making an impact through agricultural innovations. And, yes indeed she is breaking cultural barriers, stereotypes against agriculture for young people and may soon be making global waves.

 Life takes each of us through a cycle, that often leads us to a journey of resilience and courage creating a path, a new path many times. Many times our individual journeys take the most of us, and sometimes we find ourselves stalled. And as life revolves, we know too well, reaching a crossroad, which is sometimes is in the form of an error in life that takes us back a little. Thus, we know too well, what it means to need a hand to hold in such moments when we don’t know whether to move back or ahead. For many young men who find themselves on the wrong side of the law, they stall. Suddenly these young men with potential regress when just in the blink of an eye, the direction of their life changes. Suddenly, they are behind bars wishing upon freedom, which sometimes they may never have even when out of the gates of the prison. Lifesong believes that these young boys deserve a second chance, to begin to dream and to contribute to society. The founder, James Hawi, is a man himself wh...
