My name is Brian, and I run a small shop in Eldoret. Three years ago, I decided to open a wholesale shop selling everyday goods like sugar, flour, rice, cooking oil, and soap. I borrowed some money from friends and family, stocked my shelves, and started with hope and determination.
In the beginning, business was good. Customers came almost every day, and everything seemed to be going according to plan. I even began dreaming of expanding. But after a few months, things started to change. Prices increased, transport costs went up, and large supermarkets began offering discounts I could not match. Gradually, my regular customers stopped coming. I tried selling on credit to keep them, but most never paid.
Days passed when I sold nothing at all. The shop that once felt alive became silent. Rent arrears started to accumulate, and suppliers refused to deliver unless I paid upfront. Friends and well-wishers stopped visiting, and I felt completely alone in the struggle. Opening the shop each morning became harder. At some point, I even started skipping days because it felt pointless.
During one of the lowest points, a regular customer noticed my struggles and suggested I contact Dr. Kashiririka, who was known for helping struggling businesses recover. I had nothing to lose, so I decided to make the call. From the first moment, Dr. Kashiririka was calm and attentive. He listened carefully as I explained my business, the challenges I faced, and how long I had been struggling.
I learned that businesses can fail not only because of poor management but also because of unseen factors, like negative energy or obstacles that block progress. Dr. Kashiririka prepared a special solution to help attract customers, improve finances, and protect the business from harmful influences. He also advised practical steps such as rearranging the shelves, cleaning the shop daily, and treating every customer with respect, no matter how small their purchase was.
Within a few days, small changes began to appear. Customers who had stopped coming for months returned, bringing friends with them. Even my old supplier agreed to restock me on credit for one more time. Slowly, the shop started feeling alive again. New customers began coming daily, including people from nearby estates who had heard about the shop.
The shop that had once been silent and empty became busy. Children came after school to buy snacks, and women purchased flour and sugar in bulk. I had to extend my working hours just to keep up with the demand. Within two months, daily sales doubled. I managed to pay off rent arrears and even repaint the shop. The shelves were stocked, the counter repaired, and the atmosphere felt hopeful again.
Other shop owners in the area noticed the changes and came seeking advice. They learned that small practical adjustments and a positive approach could revive a business. The success of one shop began to inspire others, and the energy in the market improved. The community started believing that even struggling businesses could recover.
Today, my shop is one of the busiest in the area. I employ two assistants and plan to open a second branch in a nearby estate. The stress of unpaid bills, empty shelves, and sleepless nights is gone. The business is thriving, and life feels hopeful once again.
The journey taught me that even in the darkest times, there is always a chance for transformation. Hard work, persistence, and the courage to reach out for help can turn a failing business around. Sometimes, all it takes is one decision, one call, to change everything.
For anyone facing similar struggles, the lesson is clear. Giving up is never the only option. Solutions exist, and help can appear when it is least expected. My business survived, and my life changed because I chose to take one more step when everything seemed lost.
