Blogs I read and October Agenda.

I have not been here for a while now. I visit now and then but I am mostly on other blogs, earlier only to read but lately to also engage. I have visited sites that are relevant to my start-up and the funny thing is that whatever I google, I end up on a blog as opposed to a website.

The result has been my subscription to so many great blogs that I need to keep my eyes on especially if I am to stay ahead of the industry with top notch information and emerging trends whose impacts may be just as great here as they have been abroad.

So every few hours, I get an email from one of my many blog subscriptions and as much as the inflow of emails has been overwhelming, its has been quite the ride and with every ingestion of knowledge, I have become increasingly confident, more assertive, and better equiped to creatively work around some set business models in this industry.

So my head has been spinning for the past few months that I have been heavily engaged in conceptualizing the business idea and putting it on paper. I am almost past that. I am dealing with the executive summary part of the Plan and my consultant is waiting to make heads and tails of. Given her professional experience and position at the Bank, she is best placed to tell me if the eagle has landed…

Today morning has been long. My mind has tested fatigue and whenever I am in this state, I head to two of my favourite places online, Upande Mwingine where Serina resides with great poetry and I also pay a visit to Kaasa where Kaasa lays it down like it is. Between marveling at Serina’s mastery of Poetry in Swahili and following what the thought provoking and interestingly insightful Kaasa, I usually feel rejuvenated  to and easily get back to business.

They have been busy for the last few weeks and have not blogged much but I hope they’ll be back soon. I also fall in that category because I have not been blogging much too. I have also been to The Way I think where Cynthia puts her mind to work. She has also been MIA because she is working on her thing since she got back to Kenya. I read her blog with the other business blogs that I have subscribed to.

I also like to read the stories featured weekly at Storymoja. They can be a quite a delight. I have been published there a few times and it is the best place for budding writers to get feedback on their writing skills and potential…

Lately, I have been shopping around for Kenyan bloggers who are as interesting as the above mentioned. I am yet to find those who will make me come back and comment to their posts and thoughts.

For now, that is all I have to say. My plans for the next month are ambiguous because each is dependent on the next and I am not sure how they will play out. I want to approach the Youth Fund, some Banks, a venture Capitalist or two, the registrar of companies, a potential client who invited me to make a presentation, and also try to meet with the  prospective Board Members of my start-up.

I am traveling to Nairobi this weekend because the Rationing might be over but more so because I will be attending the Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Summit – Kenya, which will take place on Tuesday, September 29, 2009 at The Nairobi Serena Hotel.

As Kaasa says, Sayonara.

Serina says Kwaherini

I say Bye Bye Till I blog again.

PS: If you are wondering why I did not leave the links to the Industry Blogs that I read; well, its because they will have a place at my company blog which I will launch in a while.
