Anxiety antidote: Gratitude & Grinding
I’m the last person to be anxious. Yet I am often. Today I remember my late dad earned $30/per month when I was in high school & I won @WorldVision scholarship. My pocket money for 3 months at @StrathU was $30. I won, @EABL_PLC scholarship.
I think progress measured in decades amounts to significant change- both in wealth, knowledge and character. What i see in modern life is that we forget, we socialize up and generally don’t remember where we have come from. Life changes a lot. It changes Better
Note to self:
Remember where you have been.
Stick to your the journey.
Help along the way.
Breathe. Sleep. Work out.
Be grateful.
Commit to your friends and family.
Make some change!
Can’t wait to speak with @Rotary club of Madaraka! ImageImage

Solar Power, Case and Investment Thesis (for corporate/industrial companies) and all of us end user (thread). Inspired by Blackout tonight.

Here is how your electricity bill looks like. The main numbers to think about are the consumption units and the total monthly bill.
How does this look over the year? There are months you spent significantly higher.
Pay attention to the unit cost- consolidated tax inclusive cost is around 21.93 Kes/unit to Kes 23.64. Or an average of , $22cents/unit
Could #solar be a viable solution? Here is why we should consider it to begin with:

-Uses rooft, that we often don’t use.
-Massive advances in tech (inverter, panel and optimizers)
-More knowledgeable EPC/designBuild companies like @QuestworksKenya
-plenty of sun ☀️ here

When I turned 35: I gave a small speech that I now think it was almost resignatory speech (it there is a word like that) among a few friends. And it was centered on making impact and being able to create a decent garage for our kids!
Startups and business is generally tough and almost like some sort of a lottery (market fit, team, f$unds, economy etc). Yet it’s the Safest bet especially for us here in Africa.
In many Silicon Valley stories, you always hear of @BillGates beginning from a Garrage. And Jeff Bezoz and on and on stricking our of Garage. What’s seldom talked about is that Garage is a great startup seed fund, almost like @ycombinator by / @paulg @jesslivingston et al
