Riches and Christianity

The Accounting Business

I grew and had employees working for me. This made it a business. I would raise capital for startups, business proposals, cashflows and keep clients books of accounts.

The little boys we hired misbehaved at the clients office we were housed and they were kicked out. The client requested that no one but me do the books. I was left with no option but to layoff the kids.

I had a partner who we multiplied the business with due to the hyperinflation in Zimbabwe. We shared two clients each. I got the more demanding and difficult clients.

I lost a client due to asking for timely payments. I did internal audits for a clothes retail shop called BQ in the Rainbow Towers. The other client paid less than $1 a month in Zim Dollars but I kept them but it has gave me good fruit they now give me good money. Another new client paid in fruit Juices.

With time I reconciled with the Internet Cafe in the Rainbow Towers who had sacked me for demanding timely payment. As I write last month I was fired a second time because the manager and I did not have some good chemistry. We have since reconciled. I have lost both the clothes retail and the juice retailer due to low business and change in the economy.

I am left with two clients and keep thinking. That led me to the vehicle sales business.

Riches and Christianity

The Farm Produce Business

This was the first business that I established after employ. It envolved farm produce retail.

I had no capital at all, I was idea rich. A friend financed the project.

We bought a VW Golf for purchases and deliveries. It cost $430.

We registered the company and formalised everything.

I saw all things work together for the good for those that love God when the financing partner pulled out. I was stuck and and no business to run.

When a door is closed several are opened another business was birthed.
