AGOA takes over nairobi

So the AGOA conference is here and if you are like me you are wondering how does this affect my life. Apparently out of about 2000 products accepted for export from Africa to the US we only export 6. If that does not spell opportunity don't know what does! Apparently Kenyans are only concentrating on apparel and textiles. If you had the opportunity to listen to KISS this morning when they interviewed a 31 year old entrepreneur who owns a clothing manufacturing business he started at 29 that now has over 600 hundred employees keep you ears and eyes peeled and gather the information on AGOA. There are a lot of young enterprises that have seized the opportunity don't let it pass you by. One of my friends said something very interesting the other day; its not that people living in Nairobi do not harbor the dream of being financially free but because of the uphill task involved they focus on what can get them quick money from collecting bottle tops of all the beverage promotions and discount shopping; they lack the bigger picture. I only hope this isn't true for you.
