Usiwai ingizia rafiki na familia kwa biashara. By this I mean even employing them. You’re better off ata kuwapea tu pesa than employ them. Yaani shida ya watu hukuwa nini unampea kazi umlishe but since amekuzoea they do shoddy job mpaka inaanguka. But wakifanyia mhindi mtu anaweza amka ata 4 AM ndio aonekane anafanya kazi. I have learnt it the hard way twice.

For anonymity I will try to hide some details. Ya kwanza the client wanted something. Na alikuwa a big client she used to give me half of my monthly revenue alone. Let’s just say a friend who was in deep financial problem decided to mess the job by being lazy…na client kupoteza client wake akakata kuwork na mimi tena. Second time which imehappen tu saa hii. A friend of mine whose going to be a single mum juu boy clearly doesn’t want the kid and she’s forcing it. Nikaona wacha nimsaidie tu kwa kumpa kazi. Mtu alikaa na kazi karibu wiki and kumbe all the time she was doing nothing. Luckily this client isn’t mad but nimeona nkiendelea na hii ujinga nitapoteza huyu nitajipata sina pesa all in the name of being helpful to friends. Watu ni washenzi tu yaani unaona mtu anakusaidia alafu unamuangusha.
Not all time. I worked for my brother for one year and sometimes I could push mpaka saa tatu usiku just to ensure some task is complete not to delay the client. I did not require an extra coin for this. My departure from the business created a gap but I had no otherwise.
Baba kwa biashara mtu asiwahi on a meno yako. Hivyo ndio watu huzoeana.
ebu tupatie hints/tips because hapo ndio naona tuna haribu
Why you “help” family make sure they understand it was not a must for to give them a job and they could be easily be replaced if the they fuck up… otherwise utalilia kwa choo…
But give your client’s work to somebody else who doesn’t have the experience or expertise?
The client hired you and not your friends or family.

hapo kwa no 9 umeweza it seems we have a long way to go blunder after blunder
70% ya jobless people huwa hivyo juu ya ujinga wao. Mtu anakuja kutafta kazi akilia na kupiga magoti but ukisham-employ ni kama yeye ndio anakufanyia favour. Mimi nili-learn a decade ago. Kuna ma-cuzo kadhaa hawana kazi lakini kwangu hawaezi ingia. Ukinielezea shida zako nasympathize tu alafu nakuambia ujipe moyo. Wao so-called friends and family ndio huharibu kazi wakipoison employees wengine.
It’s because of bonoboism
Muslim, Somalis, Indians employ their relatives and their businesses are very successful.
Like Tuskys is now dying because the father never involved the kids in the nitty gritty details of running the supermarket.
What kills me with relatives is the entitlement. Unaandika mtu kumsaidia but after kumwosha na kumng’arisha, the buggers starts behaving as if they have controlling shares in the business. Hata wengine wanaanza bossing around demoralising hardworking colleagues. Halafu unapata uncle ama auntie anafanya lobbying hao wajinga usiwafute.
Tuskys is not dying because of mismanagement my friend, its dying because the children of the founder started stealing from the company for their own selfish benefits. One of the children even went ahead and started his own supermarkets in Kayole, talk about conflict of interests.
Hata bibi huzoeana na ndume , so you have to be smart…give those relatives or friends conditions, rules and ultimatums…a relative can be a great asset… hakuna haja relatives waumie , if they mess up , their behaviour will be known by the whole clan through oral tradition…
There is a saying that goes" a business only has father,not uncles"
What this means is, as the business owner, you are the father of your business…once you are not there, that business is essentially fucked up…
Nobody gives a fuck about your business or your business struggles if you are NOT there…not even your own children/siblings/wife…
Once you are an experienced entrepreneur,you will understand this…
I see a lot of guys especially the salaried,open businesses,manage by phone and leave ‘trusted’ people to manage/bring profits…this will end in premium tears
So tukijenga kampuni alafu tuzeeke tuziuze watoi wawachwe hivyo no way you at least train one to continue
You give children shares…at least half for motivation and full participation …but the company is still yours.
Old age is where you need money most as man otherwise you will be a ‘burden’ to people
