Dear Entrepreneur, People want you to fail because it helps them to justify the risks they never took. Because your courage makes them uncomfortable. Keep Walking. Keep Moving.

Dear Entrepreneur, someone else's five-year milestone is not your month-three deadline. You do not know their debts, investors or sleepless nights. Compare your results with your own plan, not somebody's carefully edited announcement.

Dear Entrepreneur, asking for help will not make your business smaller. Ask the accountant, the customer, the technician or the founder who has failed before. 'I don't know yet' is cheaper than an expensive mistake made with confidence.

From the moment paraffin was increased, petty crimes have increased. There is a significant increase in theft of gas cylinders from low class areas and slums. Police say that there is a syndicate that's targeting homes that have gas cylinders. I blame all Ruto & his incompetent government for deliberately fueling crimes across the country because of their incompetent policies. None of us are immune to crime. This is something we all need to admit & find a way forward.

Dear Entrepreneur, exhaustion is not a business strategy. If your phone needs charging, so do you. Rest, delegate and create systems that work when you are away. The goal was to build a livelihood, not become its permanent emergency department.

Sub-Saharan Africa's growth is holding at 4.5% for 2026 and 2027, but the IMF's latest outlook warns that rising inflation, thin fiscal buffers, and mounting downside risks are eroding the region's resilience: While the region remains resilient, the IMF notes the pace is insufficient to significantly reduce poverty or create enough jobs for the millions entering the labour market each year. Inflation is a primary concern, aligning with Kenya's own experience where headline inflation jumped to 7.3% in October 2026, driven by food costs at 10.2% and transport at 17.1%. Fiscal space is severely constrained with elevated debt levels, while downside risks include geopolitical tensions, global trade uncertainty, climate shocks, and commodity price volatility. The IMF recommends rebuilding buffers, supporting private-sector investment, and protecting vulnerable populations through targeted social safety nets.

Kenya’s food processing industry has strengthened its commitment to tackling micronutrient deficiencies, with the Kenya Millers Fortification Index (KMFI) now benchmarking products estimated to reach 45 million Kenyans daily: Since its introduction in 2022, the KMFI has grown from five companies representing 41 brands to 32 companies representing 144 brands in 2026, covering maize flour, wheat flour, and edible oils. The initiative addresses widespread "hidden hunger," with data showing 18% of children under five are stunted, 42% of pregnant women experience anaemia, and zinc deficiency affects 82% of children under five. Mombasa Maize Millers Ltd and Unga Limited emerged joint top performers in the large-scale category, while Kapa Oil Refineries Limited took first position in the edible oils category. Organised by the @CerealMillers in partnership with @TechnoServe and @Millers4Nutr, the assessment is split equally between operational processes and independent laboratory testing.

The difference between what a development looks like on paper and the lived reality of its residents raises a crucial question for developers: what happens after the keys are handed over? How are shared spaces genuinely utilized? What avenues exist for residents to pursue their passions, prioritize their wellbeing, connect with neighbors, and make the most of their time all without stepping off the property? @HassConsult sokodirectory.com/2026/11/be…

Imagine having a yatch that has a support vesel to carry stuff that can't fit in the main boat. I didn't know about this until now.

Dear Entrepreneur, your employees notice what you do when money is tight. Be honest about challenges, pay people as agreed and do not make promises you cannot keep. A healthy business is built with people, not on their exhaustion.
