Maishinski, good points. One thing I would like to point out is that we assume angel investors are always successful businessmen.

I haven't seen any statistics but I know their failure rate is high if not higher than the average entrepreneur. Only that they hit it big once in a while. And if you think of it, a lot of the time they are using other peoples money.

Capital can determine your odds of success.

1. A well capitalized business of the right scale (Large is always preferrable - do to economies of scale) - has higher success chances than a business with limited capital of smaller scale.

2. The interference cost is probably only a cost to an entrepreneurs ego. When you share risks then the least you can expect is to share

Lollipop, I think you have over-generalized. Life is not as simple as you put it.

Thanks for stopping by and sharing your views.

Then you have those who plot life. For them, making money is about employment. These people do not really care too much for money. What they want, is a good job, that comes with benefits, and leaves them with enough time to chase sex. They are hardworkers by nature, due to a strong sex drive. Their biggest problem is becoming tired of sex and women. When that happens, their life is basicaly over.

America, America, the very misunderstood nation. Tales of success abound everywhere, but most just can't seem to get on the success wagon itself, let alone get a ride on it.

The reason, is because of how people see life. People misunderstand what modern American life is all about. One can either plan, plot for, design or scheme ones life. The vast majority of people out there, are

The poster of this entry is lying to people. He or she thinks we are stupid. It is well known that once you gain success in America, going back to Kenya is not within bounds. Success in America, is as sweet as honey and even more.

I know your kind. You remind me of a certain rcbowener, who used to be called Oldunn. The problem with you people, has to do with Identity issues. You simply

Hi! long since i visited this spot.

Good for you that your start-up is shaping up. My biggest wish is to start a business and watch it grow. It is the one thing I feel would mean so much to me right now...I have looked at several ideas but I am yet to pin point on one that consumes me. I am of the view that one has to really like the business they are doing.

Kim, I can't wake up at 5 am to go shopping. I hit the mall at 8 am.

Willie, I hope they don't have this kind of madness in Malaysia.

I guess you are waking up early!. I've never been able to bring myself to get up that early for shopping. I doubt whether it's happening this year (again). Enjoy!

Why do most Kenyans keep jumping to the defence of Safaricom? What did Safaricom do to them that keeps them glued? Is it PR, CSR, cheap call rates, competitions...What??? Safaricom is one of the most expensive mobile providers on the continent. They will get cheaper, but for now, they are actually fleecing the market for as much as they can get without spooking their customers. Zain is a

That is the real economy, not reflected in the stock market. Many companies are quietly readjusting, and treating their current market forecasts as the new reality, and quietly laying off people.

This is a tough one. I would label it under "missions" on our budget worksheet. I wouldn't expect re-payment. It would become part of our discussion when reviewing our monthly budget mathafu.

You should have found out more on why they were asking you to pay the tuition fees as you indicate that they are 'dollar' millionaires, but on the other hand if they are your wifes'relatives maybe you did what you did to keep peace and avoid constant nagging and imaginery accusations at home !

Mambo ya pesa and marafiki and family can be so confusing coz you want to keep the relationships. Doesn't help when you have to give up your plans for things that rarely sneak up on the people you are 'helping'-they sound rich!(like college tuition and weddings)

Kenyans abroad are wimps wussies and whiners. Doom and gloom is their opium. I was cracking up big time at that mama who was crying a job did not fall on her lap despite her big titles and vast experience abroad. Folks still sit under a tree waiting for the government to create a job for them and then complain. Amazing kabisa. Kenya has made tremendous progress in the brief 7 years since Moi left

Ahaks! Such a creative solution.

In Malaysia, bars and restaurants started to install TV too because they want to attract people going there.

The housing market has not corrected around the country. There are still areas that need to drop further. The Main Street fundamentals are just not there. Demand for goods has not picked up. Small business lending has not picked up, Angel investors are still leary. For those of us running businesses, I don't see the logic for the rally.

2009-10-15T15:46:24.729-05:00

I've been expecting a correction this month, but as long as interest rates stay as low as they are, guys have nowhere else to put their cash.
