Whether you are successful or not, you will receive a request to lend money from a family member or relative. The problem with lending relatives or a family member is that they take the loan as a grant and will most likely default on the loan. It is recommended that you always treat the loan as a business transaction. That will increase the likelihood that you will be paid. You are advised to first think hard whether you can afford to lend the money. The basic financial advice is to “always lend what you can afford to lose.” If the…

Telecom innovation: lots of talk, little action!
Lack of innovation is one of the top killers of big companies. I am disappointed with my telecom service provider. For example, I use an Apple iPad model MC775./A. It has an option for cellular data, which I use to connect to the Internet in addition to Wi-Fi. For the last two years, it is frustrating renewing cellular data when it expires. The process is so manual and tiresome. You have to know your Cellular Data Number (as you cannot check it on your iPad), visit the airtime reseller and then ask them to load Internet. Or you could pay…
I am not the founding president of ACFE International!

The biggest victims are other road users rushing to office! As a consultant, I’ve found that seemingly big problems are solved by applying some common sense. And that is what is needed at Kampala Parents School to fix…
