The Uganda 600
journey
It has been a great
experience to be a VC for this Uganda 600 project. While some days were
tougher than others however the whole experience has been great.
The challenges
1. Like many other VCs it
was a challenge to get all sessions done as a few resulted in no show
from client. I had to call the client directly on some occasions to
communicate as they could not make it to skype. On one occasion my
client turned up we spoke for 10 minutes and the electricity cut off
leaving a dead skype line. Some days it was severe weather conditions
or family challenges.
2. My client lacked
confidence to go out and market himself and his business. The
greatest challenge was to get to a level where he believed he could
do it; it took a lot of patience, encouragement and tough talk.
The great
experiences
My greatest experience
has been the feeling of a sense of satisfaction in impacting
someone’s life positively. When I started with my client his
greatest challenge was marketing. Talking him through to understand
the concepts behind marketing and building a strategy was my greatest
experience as he followed it through. He now gets contracts huge
contracts; the unfortunate thing is that his resources don’t allow
him to take on such huge contacts. For example he got a 30 million
shilling contract which he unfortunately had to let go as he had no
immediate funds to get raw materials. His usual contracts were
usually 2 million shillings or less.
Professionally, this
experience helped me to apply all the concepts I have been gathering
in my career journey. I managed to network with other professionals
who helped increase my confidence and helped in a lot of ways.
Personally I learnt that having the right attitude matters the most.
John has the right attitude to both learn and work hard. He has so
many challenges including an extended family yet he remains
undeterred. His determination helped me to put my own life into
perspective and I now appreciate what I have access to.
My team manager Sean
Clancy has been amazingly supportive.
It would give me more
satisfaction to see John through applications for a grant to expand
his business. Hence I would like to do a few more sessions to see
which organisations he can contact and help him with the application.
It’s been a pleasure
to work for Grow.
Great work
