Your Story Isn’t Over — You’re Just in the Slow Episode

You know those TV shows we grew up on?Like Tahamaki — where the first 20 minutes felt like nothing was happening, just suspicious stares and slow camera zooms.Or Derrick — where you’re halfway through the episode still waiting for him to even leave the office.Then suddenly, the last 5 minutes—BOOM—everything comes together and you’re like, “Ah… that’s why I sat through this.” Yeah… your life is that episode. Right now, you might feel like you’re in the slow build.The part where nothing exciting seems to be happening—You’re working hard, paying bills, networking, sending CVs, perfecting your LinkedIn profile picture—But the big break? The C-suite? The dream business?Still nowhere in sight. Here’s the thing: Your story is not done.You’re just in the setup phase before the plot twist.

Networking? I’d Rather Be Stuck in Mombasa Road Traffic with a Full Bladder

Let’s talk about networking. You know—those events where everyone looks like they walked straight out of a Safaricom ad.Suits perfectly pressed.Accents clearly imported.Confidence dialed up to full volume. Meanwhile, you’re standing in the corner thinking:“Hi… I run a small business… online… sometimes…”And silently praying the ground will open up and swallow you. I get it.I used to fear networking the way I fear missing my M-Pesa reversal window. Because here’s what usually happens:You enter the room and it feels like a silent competition. And me?I was just trying to remember my elevator pitch without sweating through my clothes. But here’s what I’ve learned—networking is not about being impressive. It’s about being real.

To My Fellow Millennials… Who Feel Like They’re Falling Behind

You’re 39. Or 42. And LinkedIn? Feels like a war zone. One scroll and it’s:“CEO at 35.”“Board member at Google and a triathlete.”Meanwhile, you’re sitting there in pajama pants thinking:“Did I miss a memo… or a lifetime subscription to success?” You did everything “right.”Went to school. Got the degrees. Worked hard.And still… no corner office.No title.No driver.Not even a free lunch. Here’s what I want you to hear loud and clear: You are not behind. You’re just in a plot twist. Maybe you didn’t get handed the C-suite.Maybe you’re supposed to build your own damn office.With windows. Plants. And emotional safety. This is not the time to shrink and binge motivational quotes like snacks.This is the time to repackage, rebrand, reroute. Take the course.Write the book.Send

Visibility ≠ Value

You look at a CEO with 10,000 employees, millions in revenue, hundreds of thousands of followers… and you think, ‘Wow, they’re so much more important than me.’ No. They’re just visible on a bigger stage. Numbers don’t define worth. A teacher with 30 kids in a classroom might never trend on LinkedIn, but every day, they’re shaping the future in ways a CEO never will. The owner of a small shop might serve 50 customers a week, and those 50 walk away feeling seen, valued, and cared for. Don’t confuse visibility with value. Your platform might be smaller, but your influence can run deeper. Own it. We can’t all be CEOs, but even as we’re preparing to step into bigger
