WHY NETWORKING IS VERY VITAL FOR A WORKING PROFESSIONAL TO MULTIPLY THEIR INCOME

 There is no working professional who wakes up every morning without a desire to increase their income. It is only the means that become tough. The issue is that there is a section of working professionals who earn thrice what their counterparts earn. 

After observing a number of working professionals who are successful in their careers and are earning more than others I have discovered that they are intentional in networking. I believe that it is human nature that people are social beings . It is rare for a person to live in isolation for long. The leaders who have shaped the world and their respective industries normally focus on extending their boundaries. This is how they make valuable connections that lead them to opportunities. 

I have met a number of young working professionals who prefer to relate to only their teams without intentionally seeking to extend their influence beyond their role. To network effectively we need to know that every person has value. No body knows it all and it is critical that we are humble enough to seek guidance. The options of networking are so many with the advent of technology. We now live in a global world. Many working professionals attest that they have acquired new jobs through networking. In the professional world it is critical that our net worth is related to the network. 

If you are a working professional who is seeking to multiply your income but are not intentional in widening your network then you have an uphill task. All successful leaders are intentional networkers and have a wide network of groups that they belong to. That is how their value increases every day. We cannot increase our income when when we choose to belong to self imposed islands.

In 2026, what plans do we have to widen our networks?

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 ...
