Surround yourself with people who talk about money, business, and investments.
Spend time with people whose conversations focus on creating wealth, solving problems, growing businesses, saving, and investing, rather than only discussing gossip, complaints, or entertainment.
Lets look at two groups of friends in Nairobi:
Group A
Every weekend they meet to discuss:
— Which politician said what.
— Football results.
— Celebrity gossip.
— Complaints about the economy.
Five years later, their lives may be exactly the same because they rarely discuss opportunities or take action on them.
Group B
Every weekend they discuss:
— How to start a poultry farm in Kiambu.
— Which SACCO offers the best returns.
— How to buy land in emerging areas like Kamulu or Joska.
— Ways to invest in stocks through the Nairobi Securities Exchange.
— How to grow an online business.
One friend starts a goat project, another buys land, another opens a hardware shop, and another invests through a SACCO. As they share ideas and experiences, everyone learns and improves financially.
Suppose you have KSh 500,000.
If your circle talks only about spending, you may end up buying a flashy phone, expensive clothes, and weekend entertainment.
If your circle talks about investments, someone might suggest:
— Buying a few dairy cows.
— Starting a small rental unit project.
— Investing in a money market fund.
— Expanding a biashara.
The same KSh 500,000 can either disappear or grow depending on the influence around you.
Your circle does not make you rich automatically, but it influences what you think about.
When people around you constantly discuss opportunities, investments, savings, and business, your mind naturally starts looking for ways to build wealth instead of only spending money.
