I grew up in this little 3 roomed house (kitchen, living room and bedroom). It was not just my grandmother and I living there. We had aunties and cousins too. So you can imagine what meal time and sleeping arrangements looked like. We had so many neighbors that lived that way
I told my daughter I didn't finish my schooling and she's been trying to teach me something everyday ever since. This was today's class 🤗❤️

2007 I move to Johannesburg and as they say, the rest is history. This woman contributed to who and what I am today.
A few days ago, she became Zambia's first Woman Speaker of the National Assembly.
Congratulations Mrs. Nelly Mutti.

Mid 2000s. I get a job as a Life Sales Agent at Madison Insurance in Lusaka. One day I walk into a law firm in one of the buildings at the Addis Ababa round about.
There is no receptionist but someone in the office next to the reception said I should come in, so I do.

Ever wondered why I want more underprivileged kids to make it? I'm one of them. I grew up in this house.
Today, a part of my story got to be told through those lenses. Today was a great reminder of why I am on this path. My life is my message to the world.

During our last trip to Lesotho with wify, we drove through a village where I saw this beautiful and neat shack. This thought just stuck with me: class has nothing to do with wealth. Some people just have it regardless of their circumstances and environment.

Dear Zambians, let's do the right thing next year. We deserve a president who respects us enough to show up when we need him the most. We are not asking for a favor, we are asking him to do his job that he passionately campaigned for, and still does.

Throwback to when I lost all my money and had to briefly shut Rovert down. I took a job at deVere as a wealth consultant. Invested a bit of money into a club in Lusaka. Worked this job during the day and ran the club at night. This day, I was just tired.

This time 6 years ago, I was renting a room in a 2 bedroom apartment. A lot of things fell apart for me that year. 2014 was a disaster. I lost everything. 2020, here I am overwhelmed with gratitude. Things change. Whoever you are, hang in there friend.

The embarrassment of being called out of class and sent home for none payment of school fees was enough to affect one's performance in school for a while.
We also saw how some of our friends who got sent away never actually came back to school, ever.

I made my first million rand at 27 and was broke by 30. I needed to go through that to understand money better. Some of the most valuable lessons in life only come through experience. Don't be too hard on yourself for failing. It's part of growth.

Thread... Year 2000, I'm in grade 11 at Lotus Basic School. I almost drop out because I can't pay school fees.
I approach a guy called Big Andrew at Lusaka's Town Centre Market for a job. He instead suggests he gives me DVDs to sell and I keep the mark up...So the hustle begins.
In 2011, I had a business idea I wanted to pull off in Zambia. Even put some money into it. However, I wasn't ready so I put it on ice. I am ready now. It's coming to life in a few weeks. A few more jobs to be created towards my 1000 jobs goal.

Dear youngster, as you build your life and career, you just can't allow people around you to treat your life like a democracy. Most decisions you make won't make sense to many people and they won't need a vote. If you fail, let it be on your own terms. Take risks

Throwback to my first car in South Africa... Sometime in 2008. This was a 1972 VW Beetle. It used to breakdown a lot. I even learnt how to fix it myself 😀. I loved it!
Happy birthday to the girl who changed my life. The last five years have been the most purposeful and beautiful years of my life. This girl came into my world and helped me fix things I didn't even know where broken in me.
I love you Miss KG.

The fact that PF thought bally's social media influence wasn't a big deal tells you a lot about their understanding of how the world works today.

So many of my friends were "building" in my mid 20s and early 30s. I was broke. Glad I never felt pressured at all. Looking back now at the decisions I made, the risks I took and my reasons, I'm glad I stayed in my lane and focused on me. Please do you guys.

Some of us work hard so that our wives don't wake up at 6am to sweep the yard. We have gardening services for that. My wife gets a cup of tea in bed from her helper before she leaves the bedroom... And she is not a lazy wife. Just one who is loved 😉
Here is another before I go to bed.

Get as educated as you possibly can in the studies that interest you. However, if you have tried the classroom way of learning and it is not your thing, find something you are good at and become the best at it. Whatever you do, give your life meaning. Work.

When starting out in your career, don't worry too much about the money. Get your foot in the door, show up early everytime, put your head down and graft hard. In due time, somebody will see your value and the universe will reward you for your commitment.

I got to the office this morning, switched on the kettle for coffee, switched on my laptop, then sat down and let the emotions I felt my whole drive from home just flow. I cried. No sad feelings either. I was just so overwhelmed with gratitude. I'm so grateful.

Around that age, I was too broke to invest any money into anything. So I invested into relationships. I focused on knowing the right people and even did some free jobs for them where I could. A lot of those people later came through for me. Doing business with some of them now.
Today I went back to my former school, Matero East Primary. It was such an emotional and fun experience. Thank you

Hey youngster, some people your age may be winning while you are still trying to figure things out. Don't let that worry you into thinking you are losing. Stay focused and keep pushing. Personally, I was broke at 25 and then again by 29 to 31. Things change.

We know you can't make money any other way so you will need some lessons in how to survive out here without handouts.
