Festive season mobile money transfers hit Sh76bn

Central Bank of Kenya has issued guidelines allowing larger transfers for the mobile money industry as it emerged that operators transacted an unprecedented Sh76 billion last December. The draft guidelines for mobile and other electronic money issuance and transfer services are meant to protect consumers and provide minimum standards of operations in the e-money sector.

The rules propose that retail transfers be capped at Sh100,000, giving room for all providers to review their limits upwards once the draft becomes law. Industry players are slated to review the draft before they are considered for gazettement.

Getting the Corner Office

The boss loved Barbara's work and didn’t want to lose her, but could no longer tolerate the “noise” surrounding her. People were complaining about Barbara's aloofness, grandstanding, and failure as a team player. So, the boss asked Barbara if she would be willing to see an executive coach and she agreed to do so, albeit with some reluctance.

During my first meeting as Barbara's coach, I asked the usual questions about where she grew up, how many siblings she had, education, etc. Barbara was candid in talking about being raised the youngest of several children in a strict German family from the Midwest. I asked what the “rules for membership” were in her family, explaining that every family has implicit or explicit rules for what’s expected of children, and she rolled her eyes. Dad was a strict disciplinarian, Mom instilled in them the fear of God, and everyone was expected to work hard. There was little time for frivolity in this Teutonic household.

The 8 Buyer Personas (and How to Sell to Them)

A while ago at a conference I had dinner with two people. The first, (we’ll call her Janine) I had known since we worked together six years earlier. The second person (Ed), Janine and I had just met.

Janine described a sales challenge she was facing. She’d been working with two prospects at two different organizations, one for over a year and one for almost two. The typical sales cycle is 6 to 9 months, and these were both well beyond. She felt she was nearing a sale with both, but for all she knew, “nearing” might mean a year or two to go.

Stop Treating Your Business Like a Hobby!

I’ve learned from personal experience that you can grow a successful and profitable business part-time or full-time, but not “some-time.” To make it on your own, you must be mentally and financially committed to the success and profitability of your business. So, if your business is not as successful as you’d like it to be, ask yourself these questions:

Am I serious about succeeding?
Do I have the desire, passion and determination to grow and sustain a moneymaking business?
Do I feel as if I am dabbling in my business?
Do I have the mindset of a successful business owner?
Am I treating my business as if it were a hobby?

Study your answers carefully. Listen to what your instincts and emotions are telling you. Are you giving yourself permission to succeed? The key to success in business is to take yourself and your business seriously.

Here are Nine C’s of Success for developing, growing and maintaining a successful business and an entrepreneurial mindset. The more you implement these Nine C’s—emotionally and physically—the more successful and profitable your business will become.

Top 10 Rules for Women in Business

What makes women successful in business? What can we learn from the high profile success stories that are out there? I have tried to codify the lessons learned by women like Andrea Jung, CEO of Avon Products, Marjorie Scardino, CEO of Pearson Publishing, and Meg Whitman, former President & CEO of eBay, the advice of high-profile female entrepreneurs like Barbara Corcoran, Bobbi Brown, and Muriel Siebert, along with my own experience gleaned from 20 years of coaching female talent.

Rule #1: Trust Your Instincts

“Women often don't trust their instincts—and spend way too much time trying to provide endless analysis for why,” says Geraldine Laybourne, creator of the Oxygen network. “A good idea takes fewer pages.”
