JUST DO IT!!!
If it were to be easy… then everybody could have already done it.
An option not to do something is the worst nightmare for any starter. For whatever reason, starters always have that option to quit, dillydally, give up or just be lazy. Because either way, you think you’re in charge and/or comforted by the common cliché that the business environment in Kenya is not very conducive and/or that everyone is in tough economic times. In 2024, Just do it! Regardless…
Last year, we Accflaw Kenya Kenya and G. B. Bosire and Company Advocates(GBB) really tried to stay afloat… In 2024, we are doing it… bigger and better. It was my first year out of formal employment – with zero expectations to get a salary end month. A big bunch of my savings went into setting up the firm and for those in Nairobi, you know what this means. For a minute, you get a very strong urge to just fold up everything and go back to your end month pay… your employed friends never make it any better coz it is then that they want to meet up with you to pop up that expensive champagne and break bread. But then quitting wasn’t an option because that is not what the spirit wants – the spirit was stronger than the body. Even worse, no client can trust a broke, indecisive and/or seemingly miserable lawyer. So you need that bold look in the face… good suit and look like you have everything not just in control but deliver to the required standards. And with that, we made it. The vision is alive and kicking.
My biggest take-home was that problems, fears, imaginations, desires, disappointments, pressure and high moments will always be there. They shouldn’t be a reason for you to quit. Just stick to the plan, focus and do it. This is solely because what doesn’t kill you… will definitely make you stronger. Now that you’re still breathing… keep moving.
As we start the year, I must just thank all my friends, clients, business associates, partners, colleagues and seniors in the profession who always came through last year. Thanks for believing in our dream and supporting our vision. We can’t wait to just do it with you once again.
Happy new year folks and let’s get started.
