Being an entrepreneur means being creative, but how do you do this if you’re not confident? Creativity is linked to the mind, body and soul. These three need to function as one for you to be able to bring out your creative genius! The Nairobi Garage hosted two thought leaders, Sapna Chandaria and her husband, Rand Pearson, who gave a talk on creativity and entrepreneurship during our After Office Hours (AOH) session. They showed us how using your creativity can lead to success not just for you, but for the people around you as well.

We get it, being a busy entrepreneur can be tough. Trying to remember everything with all the distractions that we have today is even more of a mission than it needs to be. Post-its and paper to-do lists work fine for some, but for those constantly on the move have the threat of losing those little pieces of paper.  Luckily, technology is on our side to help us overcome our forgetful moments.

When you can marry your passion with your job, you automatically create more job satisfaction for yourself. That’s why turning a hobby into a business venture may be the best solution for you, especially if you have a hobby that you can monetize, such as writing, coding or any other task that people find valuable. Once you hone your skills and learn how to set up and run a business, you can turn your hobby into your full-time job.
