The problem with most people is this: you make a little money, and suddenly you want to become an investor.
You want to āinvestā. You want to āgrow your moneyā. And before you know it, youāve met some smooth-talking guy online telling you, "Boss, this investment platform will give you 25% profit per day!"
Three months later? Your money is gone. Youāre left with exposure and regrets.
Some of you are not investing; you're just buying hope. You work hard for a whole year, save up KES 100,000, then find some TikTok āfinancial guruā telling you about "the best online investment platform" and you wire your money to a total stranger.
And then boom! The money disappears.
Stop Falling for These Scams. Youāve probably seen them:
ā
Forex hustlers flashing screenshots of fake millions
ā
Crypto āmentorsā telling you to āinvest in the futureā
ā
Ponzi schemes promising you riches overnight
If getting rich was that easy, wouldnāt we all be millionaires by now?
Invest in Yourself First. Before you run around investing in āopportunitiesā, how about you invest in yourself first?
š Buy a better phone if you're serious about content creation.
š Upgrade your laptop if youāre into freelancing, design, or coding.
š Learn a high-income skillāSEO, digital marketing, video editing, AI tools.
š Start with a money market fundābut donāt expect it to make you rich overnight.
You see, your skills and knowledge will always pay you back. Blindly throwing money at random āinvestmentsā wonāt.
Some of you want to turn KES 8,000 into KES 50,000 in two days.
How does that even make sense?
Bring Value to the Market. The real way to make money? Solve problems.
Provide a service, learn a craft, improve your expertise, and people will pay you for it.
Instead of gambling with your hard-earned money, take a course, read books, or join a class that teaches you something valuable.
Thatās why I always say, invest in yourself first!
