Asking for a friend, what is the best, easy, self employment biashara or hustle you can start with 1 Million captital + a small car to guarantee an income of about 150K per month. Guy is a graduate but tired of earning 100k while working long and stressful hours. Hustle can be in Nairobi or in the counties
I have no ideas
but the guy must be content with making no profit or barely breaking even for a few months
business may be even more stressful
Huyo akae tu kwa shamba la mhindi atatoka kuja kuteseka bure kitu hajazoea, let him build a business while employed, it breaks even na ikifika target anataka ndio anaweza kufikiria kutoka.

Supply chang’aa to Ojinga Maandamano rally at kamukunji…150k/30 per cup is 5K servings…another 1K servings to pay for costs…
Avail your services at all Ojinga gatherings and voila…stable 150k income…use jalopy to transport several mitungiz at at time from your local chang’aa biz

Kijana acha kusumbua tuko na over 30M na bado working kwa Mhindi
Afungue club Rural towns za Kwao, for maximum profit he has to run the business himself.
Remember Clubs is all about pimping na lanyes kidogo hivi and you have a good customer base
Nunua simu swappa kuja uza Kenya. Hiyo doh ni mingi.
Buy flagship phones kuanzia samsung note moja moja different types na iphones. Try and diversify as much as possible na uanze biashara. My 2 cents.

Certainly doesn’t have the attitude for business. Atapoteza hio 1 million in due time akijaribu.
Awache story za 1 million. Ground itatambua bidii yake, ile kujituma atajituma, sio eti amekuja na how much. Self employment iko na long na stressful hours
This is a good idea it would allow him to sell online and still work on his career. Question though what would be the most budget friendly shipping method and freight forwarder for such fragile goods?
Cliché advice from someone who has probably never operated a business na hana degree that can withstand scrutiny. Biashara ya 1m yenye mwenyewe hako around to observe and manage the moving parts will be looted to the ground by wakas. Jamaa aamue kama anataka kuwa office waka ama entrepreneur. Africans na ethics ni maji na mafuta. Wanakulanga mpaka capital. Ni mjinga mgani huyo ako tayari kutajirisha mtu ameketi kwa air conditioned office while he slaves away?
Hii long and stressful hours shouldn’t scare you one bit bro. Nakumbuka nikiwa high school -a national - everyone even the choppies were scared of the course I wanted to study in uni . Ati si uliona so and so alitap out jkuat ama uon even after kupata clean As. Nikajiambia KAA mbaya mbaya that’s what am taking. Guess what five years later bagged that degree. Kama ningeskiza detractors jee.
In life we aren’t the same height as the elders say. What some guy perceives as hard could be a breeze for you and vice versa. Ignoring the naysayers and getting on your Grind is the greatest thing bro. Just look around your hood for problems to solve. They just so many. Poor nutrition, jobless strong men, poor sanitation… Just avoid investing in vices so no wines and spirits. Good luck champ
Makani fukara, got 2 degrees, planning on a masters not that I owe you any damn explanation you grease filled cow, na biashara nimeingia na nikauza, did you care to ask OP what type of business ama ni mdomo unapanua tu? Could be his own consultancy or a service based business, whatever, I know of guys still in corporate na wanapelekana na biashara, my own relative is a legal manager at a bank and runs her own Airbnb apartments & legal office on the side, saa ingine funga mdomo especially when you seem to be in a deplorable state in life than ‘non degree holders’…ama si wewe juzi maisha imekutandika hadi unataka kupimp your wife & niglets to mizungu for monthly upkeep? Jinga sana.
If you have to ask, you better flush that money down the drain.
Sasa unataka kulia juu huna degree? Pole basi. Lakini wacha kutumia outliers to buttress your point. You see aside from theory, running a business in Kenya is navigating a minefield more so if you think you can throw money at problems hata kama ni hio consultancy. Kuna so many moving parts. Just as an example, KRA can spring a surprise on you ama upigiwe simu staff wako wameshikwa while overspeeding to a crucial meeting with a client in Naivasha Traffic 1 anataka 10k ndio watoke just to name a few. How do you wiggle out of that na mhindi naye amekungojea. Halafu let us be honest with one another bila feelings. Biashara ya 1m yenye hauko hapo jua tuu you will be joining a long queue of other entrepreneurs waiting for character development. Granted, 1m ni pesa kidogo sana if you want to run a business ukiwa engaged elsewhere. After setting up na licensing halafu uweke pesa kidogo kando ya working capital, systems to guard against pilferage and contingencies, you will realise that you have very little left that can be utilised to hire staff to midwife the business to maturity. Hapo inabidi ufanye.vile wahenga walisema; utoe nguo uingie majini. Wewe ndio CEO, messenger, secretary, marketer, cleaner, receptionist na mkubwa ya operations na finance.
Don’t get this notion of sina digirii just told you I got 2 & frankly speaking other than employment hakuna mahali ingine nimezitumia, okay I get your point but don’t you think it depends on the nature of your job pale kwa mhindi & side businesses, this relative is the closest person najua hawes danganya mimi, 2 premium ABnBs around Westy very busy all she has is a messenger who deals with check-in & checkouts na supervision, hapo unaibiwa aje kama bookings zinaingia na app plus she monitors via cam on her phone or physically visits at least twice a week…hio biz ingine she’s hired an office with an assistant for mails & handling client phonecalls, unless she’s in a meeting she picks any calls redirected to her, any meetings anatoka tu lunch time deals with the client then comes back. It’s possible.
Degree ya Forestry Management na ingine ya Hotel and Tourism Management sii degree unafaa kujigamba nayo. The gods of academia aren’t on your side. You are just a glorified askari misitu or cateress respectively. Go back to school upate a serious degree in a STEM subject ama finance, law or medicine.
The best with the best chance of being successful is one in an area he professionally working in.
He can do consultancy if his field of expertise allows for that.
Your friend should also seek ways and negotiate out of the long working hours and and reduction of stress. If he’s worth 100k he can definitely evaluate his importance in his work and leverage for it in bargaining for better terms.
1m is not a lot and he shouldn’t try a business that is out of his depth or one that is easy for anyone to replicate.
