From Talent to Business idea #Startnow
We all possess passions and talents that can bring us joy and money. It starts with trying something new, realizing your knack for it, and enjoying it without expecting payment. But when you decide to monetize it, doubts creep in. Will you succeed? How much capital do you need? Do you need an office? Remember, it remains a dream if you don't start. Begin now, even without all the answers. Be creative, patient, and persistent. Learn, seek mentorship, and step out of your comfort zone. Start small, study your market, and use what you have. Focus on offering excellent service, and success will follow, one step at a time.
Why I started Mkazipreneur!
Childhood advice about studying hard, finishing university, and landing a secure job is outdated. Today's job landscape is dominated by contracts, not permanence. In my own experience, annual contract renewals became nerve-wracking. Witnessing colleagues lose contracts pushed me to explore entrepreneurship as a safety net. Uganda faces a daunting challenge of youth unemployment, with thousands graduating into a job market offering only a fraction of needed positions. Entrepreneurship is a vital solution, especially for women who face unique hurdles. Mkazipreneur, a platform I created, aims to empower women entrepreneurs with resources, support, and a thriving community. Together, we can uplift each other and drive positive change.
