MENTORSHIP IS CRITICAL IN ENABLING A WORKING PROFESSIONAL TO ACHIEVE FINANCIAL FREEDOM

 It is the desire of every working professional to achieve financial freedom. The key question is, is it an easy venture? Probably not. I remember there was a young employee who was very brilliant but unfortunately joined bad groups. He spent most of his time in the bar instead of prioritizing personal growth and in the end his performance dropped and he was axed from the job. Life became so hard for him. 

Mentorship has proven to be one of the most effective strategy for any working professional. A number of prominent company executives have attributed their career rise to being hand held by senior and experienced professionals. If a working professional seeks to multiply their income it is important that they seek advice from professionals with a proven track record. It is difficult to improve your game without advice from a proven professional. Many young working professionals have misused their hard earned money in wrong ventures simply because they want quick profits. In the end they end up depressed because of the wrong decisions. 

An example of where mentorship can help a working professional to make wiser financial choices is when they want to invest their money. Instead of investing in ventures that they have not researched they can seek advice from experienced mentors who are generous with their knowledge.

A working professional can multiply their income if they seek mentorship from experienced mentors,

ACRE OF DIAMONDS

 According to Dr. Dennis Kimbro in his book Think And Grow Rich  every human being is an acre of diamonds. In simple terms we have more potential than we can imagine. With adequate self reflection this statement can change any person's life. It is Dr. Myles Munroe who noted that without knowing our purpose on earth we are likely to lead a less impactful life. The question that has been asked by many leading scholars is why are some people more successful than others? Is it family background? Is it luck? Is it the country where they were born? Unfortunately no body has a clear answer to this contradicting question. Hellen Keller was born blind but by the time of her death she was a very successful leader. Oprah Winfrey had a tough childhood but is now one of the most influential leaders in the world. Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for 27 years but became the president of South Africa. From the above case studies it is important for each one of us to learn a lesson. We have more...

A SAVINGS PLAN CAN AID IN FINANCIAL ADVANCEMENT

 I remember during the Trainer of Trainers training conducted by Bank of Uganda we were encouraged to develop a savings plan. This was a key development because without a plan we may live in financial darkness. In my years of providing financial literacy across the country especially youths I have observed that the intangible practices that may be undermined play a big role in the big picture. I have been asked a question, "how can one save yet their needs exceed their income?. It is a tough question but the best practice remains that even in the hardest of circumstances we should prioritize saving .This is because we do not know what the future holds. As humans we forget so fast. Who remembers during the lock down of Covid-19 when people were not working. Life was extremely tough. It was an opportunity to reflect about the importance of savings during good times. A savings plan enables a person to determine why they are saving. It could be for school fees, buying a plot, a car an...

WHY INDIAN BUSINESSES LAST LONGER THAN UGANDAN BUSINESSES

 Joseph (not real name) set up a retail shop and after a month he closed it because of lack of customers. The question is, what went wrong? The economic conditions under which businesses operate are tough with so many uncertainties. The cost of doing business is generally high. Uganda is credited as one of the most enterprising countries in the world. Unfortunately most of  these businesses do not last beyond the second birth day.  In today's article I want to reflect on a question why do Indian businesses or companies last longer than Ugandan companies ?  How many Ugandan businesses go beyond the second generation? If they are few what leads to this state of affairs? Is it a cultural issue? Is it a lack of business management skills? We all know about Mukwano and Madhvani industries. These have become case studies for years in the Ugandan education system. The question is why is it hard for us to replicate the same practices among Ugandan businesses? Why is it that ...
