The right way to correct an adult at work Hearing a grown man get scolded like a child in front of his colleagues is one of the worst things about corporate life. Adults make mistakes. But correcting an adult should never mean humiliating them. If someone makes an error: → Address the issue, not their character. → Speak privately when possible. → Explain what went wrong and why it matters. → Listen to their side before passing judgment. → Make expectations clear going forward. → Hold them accountable without attacking their dignity. Public humiliation doesn't build better employees. It creates fear, resentment, and silence. Great leaders understand something simple: You can be firm without being disrespectful. The goal of correction should be improvement—not embarrassment. Treat people like adults, and they'll be far more likely to respond like professionals.

"Nataka nikuwe rich ndio niambie watu vile pesa sio muhimu kwa maisha" 😂 People tend to make something sound easy or even unimportant when they already have it. But that is not what I want to tell you... Because it is a plain lie for someone who has never been there. Here I want to talk about what makes a small business profitable in today's marketplace. A small business can have customers, employees, good sales and still be a terrible business. Because being busy is not the same as being profitable. In the modern market, profitable small businesses tend to have a few things in common: 1. They solve a clear problem. The clearer the problem, the easier it is to explain why someone should pay you. 2. They have pricing power. If customers only choose you because you are cheaper, you have a weak position. A strong business gives customers a reason to pay more. 3. They understand their numbers. Revenue can look impressive while the owner is taking home almost nothing. Profitable businesses know their margins, costs, cash flow and return on investment. 4. They adapt quickly. Customer behaviour changes. Technology changes. Competition changes. A small business has an advantage here: it can change direction faster than a large company. 5. They use leverage. Technology, systems, people and processes allow the owner to produce more without personally doing everything. 6. They attract the right customers. A customer who buys once and disappears is not as valuable as one who returns, refers others and costs little to serve. 7. They stay focused. Trying to sell everything to everyone usually creates a complicated business with thin margins. The best small businesses are not necessarily the ones with the biggest revenue. They are the ones that turn revenue into "healthy cash flow, predictable profits and a business that can operate without the owner doing everything." That is what makes a small business genuinely valuable. Not how busy it looks. How much wealth it actually creates.

Maybe my portion is to work very hard and get the money instead of hoping that I will be lucky like some of my friends.

People respect you more when they know you're willing to die on that hill.

The constant need to do something else while you brush your teeth>>>

Mans fumbled a big bag and is now down bad.

Last year, I went to this barbershop on Kiambu Road. I was actually cheating on my barber for the 55th time. I enter, and this well-dressed lady, in what looks like an air hostess attire, extends her hand with a calculated smile. She starts: “My name is XXX, welcome to XYZ Barbers. Mr. XY will be your attendant for the day. Is it your first time?” (You know how men get weak when they are softly spoken to by a bebe with corset eye contact and thee calculated smile.) I sit down. The ambiance itself is the therapy you need when your world is in turmoil. She proceeds to ask me, “Would you like to be served with whiskey, wine, vodka, juice, sparkling water or just normal water?” I pause and look around just to make sure Dr.jina kubwa is not around and I’m not in Quiver. I softly whisper, “Juice…” She goes ahead and gives me 6 options. I say, “Mango.” Shaving starts and proceeds to like 1 hour…I am then ushered to another room, where now another bebe appears, softly stroking my beard and asks me, “Would you like a facial scrub? We have it on offer.” Before I open my big mouth to say “I’m married with children”, she slaps me with the advantages of facial therapy, pointing at one of my protruding Ndumberi pimples caused by nibbling unripe bananas. Just like a toxic relationship, I find myself closing my eyes as she softly edged all the corners of my face with her hands with one million stories of how warthogs migrated to Lang’ata cemetery from Tsavo... It is during this moment that reality dawned on me, because between me and poverty I had 1,000 bob. My barber usually charges me only 250, so with 750, I had planned to fuel my KaWeevil and roll it to Ndumberi. After the grooming is done, I majestically walk to the reception and ask: “Bill yangu?” She rises up, beckons me to sit down as she inquires how much I have wasted inside there…Then she reappears, smiles at me and says: “2,800.” 2800 ang’owa! 😳 She proceeds to ask: “Are you paying with card?” I smile and sink back to my seat… and text Mama Liam: “Nitumie tu 3K urgently, niko garage.” From that day… Kama kinyozi sioni mkia ya ng’ombe, ndimu, ama maji ya kuoshewa ikichemshwa na very rusty red heater wacha tu nikachemshe maji moto home nijing'oe manyoya kama kuku.

SSafe to say that only Raila Amolo Odinga knew how to use the immense power he weilded and no one else currently alive can match him. All these other guys are playing pata potea.

You loaned Kes 100,000 to your friend last year and since then she has refused to pay you back, which has really deteriorated your friendship. You asked her to just pay Kes 30,000 and forget the rest because you are in a financial crisis. Your friend then says she can only get you Kes 15,000 since that is all she has. You felt like you had no other option but to accept it, so you eventually gave her your account details to send the amount directly to your bank. You woke up the next morning, checked your account, and you had 150,000 in it! You kept staring at the screen in disbelief but it was indeed Kes 150,000. You grabbed your phone and found 73 missed calls from your friend and an additional 37 text messages begging you to transfer back Kes 135,000 since she only meant to send you Kes 15000 and mistakenly added an extra 0. What you gonna do friend? 1. Send back Kes 135,000 2. Take your full Kes 100,000 3. Keep the whole Kes 150,000

God's timing feels like a punishment until it arrives.

I want to see something. Do you pay this much to read an online magazine? In Kenya?

I mean...we wouldn't take all the credit but since you gave with a pure heart, we shall humbly oblige.
