This week I received through WhatsApp (+ 31 6 234 44 902) the following question from Path from Nakuru county in Kenya.
Path is interested to start selling Darling Hair in Nakuru county and needed my advice. Before to give any meaningful advice, it has to be clear what the goal is. So I use a step by step approach to understand exactly what Path need to know and wants to achieve.
So I asked Path what do you wants to achieve, or perhaps more to the point how does your dream business, selling Darling Hair look like. This helps to work towards the goal.
Immediately, I received the answer all the way from Nakuru. This is promising because Path has been doing some thinking before.
The dream business was to startup a wholesale hair business in Nakuru county.
