2022 was a very interesting year indeed.
It still doesn’t feel like last month was a different year to the current one where I met very many people, I started writing this blog and today we have almost 1,500 views from our readers. Thank you so much our readers and apologies for the hiatus I had taken for the last 6 to 8 weeks. I’m not giving up on this place because I truly believe that we are going to make this a truly amazing space for all of us to grow and benefit from. I’m happy to discuss with you something that has been taking up most of my time in these last 2 months or so. Firstly I published my book and I thank you so much for all the wonderful reads, reviews and comments to everyone who chimed in into my book. For those that don’t know the book yet it’s titled Failing Forward; learning from past mistakes makes you a great winner. I’m now working on the phase of the book which involves publishing its ebook and audio version so that anyone in the world can have access to it. Feel free to purchase the hard cover book by giving us a call on +256 786 197007 or +256 703 728694.
Today’s conversation is about how we have all started the year and we are 23 already days in. I’m certain that we all have very many goals and dreams and aspirations for this new year. I hope you are having a plan that you are religiously following in order to implement the goals that you set yourself to achieve at the start of the year. I’m happy to inform you that this year I’m going to endeavor to keep this space alive and running and sharing value with everyone and I’m looking forward to your comments, reviews and feedback which really gives me a lot of energy when you write back to me.
In the last quarter of last year I stumbled upon a particular individual that challenged me beyond my wildest dreams. This particular individual is successful and has been in the realm of business for a good time and this is the question he asked me when I was asked him for advice on how to better run a business. He asked me, where do you see this business you’re running in the next 5 years or 10 years let alone 50 and how are you living your life such that this business can exist long after you’re gone? Secondly he asked me how do you pay yourself as the business owner, do you pay yourself Pay As You Go (PAYG) or you Pay As You Earn (PAYE) — shoutouts to all payroll teams. To be honest I had no straight answers in the positive sense for him and I took this to heart and I’ve been walking on this to ensure that whatever is on the inside of me can come out to fruition. This is the same thing I wish for you my dear readers that you can be able to ask yourself and make yourself a better person in this new year. After he was done talking to me, I started working on my business rather than in my business to ensure that we can get visibility and people can get to know about us and what we do. We worked so hard on this vision and everything that you do on a day to the basis and and decided to focus on avocado oil production.
This is a product that we have produced now for about 5-6 months rather intermittently but it has given us a glimpse on what goes into our skins and hair. For example to get about 1 litre of avocado oil you need about 60 avocados assuming there is no wastage. This prompted us to believe and find ways of ensuring our process is better at reducing such waste therefore making our processes much much more efficient. To be honest we are still on the journey to do that, even though we are not where we want to be we are not where we used to be. Check out our website and see the work that we are doing with avocados and feel free to purchase from us. We promise that your skin and hair won’t regret but they will both be very thankful for checking us out. That’s it for now guys let’s catch up in the next episode of our blog, keep winning.
