Started as an office messenger - used to deliver letters all over Industrial Area trekking point to point. Was well educated and qualified,so talked to my boss's partner (my boss was pissing all over the business,eating client money). Partner had trust,lent me some $100 to open an office here (year 2001 June),he was based in Moshi. He would send me money,I would buy the goods and send over to him (mainly Chemicals). It's a long story,but my first boss had to go back to employment (still holds the grudge),money came and we separated with my second boss (a good man and still a very good friend ),I went solo and never looked back till today (will you dare look back). Apart from Stocks,I'm in Forex Bureaus,Computer Dealing,Tour Operation,Cybercafes,and lately long distance haulage.

For me,it's HARD SMART WORK - PLAN A & B always part of any operation I undertake.






Money Is Power

@ghettomafia

You are the only one who have started addressing the objectives of this thread.

I get you. Working smart hard. Having Plan A & B always.

Two questions for you. You got a loan of $100 that got you started to be where you are. So you actually started from a red position. Can you share here how and what you did to get back to normal grounds? You have introduced a new way of starting up without looking for shoddy and dirty deals. Someone who maybe a peeping tom or a log in member might benefit.
Secondly,if you were to be approached for such a small loan to help someone get started,could you extend the same?


It doesn't hurt to know more than you have

Remember,when Mary Magdalene applied expensive nice smelling oil on Jesus feet.Those gathering around him grumbled that it was a waste.Infact they urged that the oil should have been sold and the money given to the poor.Jesus said to them ''the poor will always be,but the son of man will not be here forever''.The moral of this reading is simple.f you are destined to be poor you remain poor no matter what you do.

However workhard in whatever you do because when the blessings come they must find you on the run not sleeping wallowing in self pity.Take heart brother because thats just the way it is.

@ pink i havent read that part but....how mean...


America -the only superpower was bulit on slavery,.. ditto UK which was built on colonial debauchery....Neocolonial rampage of the congo et al continues to cushion the rich nations.


Get rich or die tryin...by any means neccessary!!

Me first,U next

i worked in a cyber for a long time,one day i met someone online who believe it or not wanted to help someone from a third world country,i told him i needed my own business because i was tired of working for someone else all day long,and i didnt think i would ever make/save enough to own my own business,he asked me how much i needed and sent me the money through western union,i have never heard from him again and i have never met him.
i was helped by someone who didnt know me and doesnt know me up to today.
am not rich but i am better off than i thought i would ever be.

better a friendship founded on business than a business founded on friendship.
