Whoever said that money is a requirement in entrepreneurship growth should now be revisiting the assertion.That may seemingly be so if some interesting recent developments are anything to go by. Indeed, they have vindicated my earlier assertions on entrepreneurship. Money as many Kenyans would want us to believe may not be a key entrepreneurship challenge in this country. Imagine, the Government is now busy trying to improve loan uptake especially amongst Youth and Women entrepreneurs. Indeed, trainers and mentors have in the recent past been dispatched

By Mwangi Wanjumbi – Newtimes B. S. CEO & Chief Consultant/Trainer Wherever you are, I can almost bet, that you intend to one time, venture into business if not there as yet. As an experienced marketing practitioner, trainer of even trainers and passionate change agent, I come across many people variously wanting to acquire one or more forms of wealth creation.

By Mwangi Wanjumbi – Newtimes B.S. CEO & Chief Consultant/Trainer Soon after the recent release of the last KCSE results, we coincidentally spent some leisurely moments with my Professor friend, whom we went to school same years. We could not help discussing very interesting issues especially with regard to career guides for the university bound students. Alongside, we were joined by Manuel, an hotelier turned book publisher.
