Hillary bamulinde Thank Hillary bamulinde for speaking out on this. So much for local content, growing SMEs, sustainability, inclusivity, ethical business...meaningless rhetoric

Hillary bamulinde We are a modest society that believes that to secure repeat business, even where it may never occur, we accept such bad behaviour like delayed payments or low pricing. Worse more, the regulator PAU_Uganda isn't as supportive as during exploration since they've grown big

The thing with how the construction industry is set up in Uganda, is that we don’t have security of payments for contractors and subcontractors. This is a major cause of disputes and will only get worse.
Subcontractors need to equip themselves with this adjudication training.

Hillary bamulinde Given the high standards demanded for one to do business in the sector and the cost that go into that. Delayed/nonpayment would be an outright killer.

1. These schools have many entitled kids, so look at their anti-bullying policies.
2. Is the fees affordable 3yrs down the road with current income, a downgrade later may affect the child mentally
3. Extracurricular & networking opportunities
4. Is it a school first or a business

When you get a profitable idea, focus on it and grow it, there's always a temptation to jump to the next seemingly more lucrative venture a friend is working on. This is a hard lesson most of us learnt late.
Like they say 'No roots No fruits'.

When you're younger, it's common to find yourself consumed by a constant feeling that your peers are progressing while you're stagnant.
1. Consider going solo, cut off yr usual circle
2. Travel if you can
3. Set your own targets
4. Everyone has their timeline
5. Learn to say No

A company exists for the sole purpose of making profits for its owners. When you go beyond the slogans and corporate jargon, it helps to remember that no matter how high up one's position is, you're dispensable. The only constant is life outside the company.

Your longevity in an organization will be determined not by how hard you work but by how much value you bring to work. If you're always available & willing to do anything, your value may go unnoticed. Be scarce and people will not fail to notice how hard you're to replace.

The sales & mega discounts season is upon us.
If you need something, it may be ok to pay 100k even if its actual worth is 80k.
But, if you pay 40k for something you don't need, even if it's worth 100k, you've not saved 60k, you've wasted 40k.

Most people who work for long in Gov't or corporations struggle to run personal businesses later in life because businesses don't come with procedures, processes and operational manuals.
When you get a chance, start early, fail early, learn early.

A key takeaway of this message is that the emergency fund is not cash, rather investments and networks of people to provide that cushion aka support network

I worked as a waiter while studying for my masters, the degree was for the future but the job was important to sustain me and pay for the degree &
I did my best to excel at it. We often despise what we have now because our heads are buried in the future yet to arrive. Excel today

Saving emergency money is easier to talk about than to practice. These alternatives can help.
1. Investments easy to liquidate like sacco funds
2. A few friends that can lend you without hesitation
3. Multiple small income sources (you will still get broke days but not 4 long)

The worst time to accept a pay rise is after you have resigned. It may be tempting but don't forget you're now a marked person, and the wheels to replace you are already in motion.
Anytime now...
