From his entrepreneurial journey, Wambugu has learned valuable lessons that he believes can be helpful to any aspiring entrepreneur.
“Embrace continuous learning, as adapting to new tools and techniques will keep you ahead in your field. Embrace Failure as a Learning Opportunity: Not every project or decision goes as planned. I’ve learned to view setbacks as lessons and stepping stones to success,” he says.
“Focus on Building Relationships: Whether it’s with clients, collaborators, or mentors, building strong relationships is key to growing your business. Network, seek feedback, and be open to constructive criticism. Know Your Worth: Pricing your services appropriately is crucial. Don’t undervalue your skills, but also understand the market,” Wambugu adds.
He advices people intending to venture into business to stay focused, be resilient, and keep their passion alive.
“Entrepreneurship is a journey, not a destination, so be prepared to evolve as you grow. Keep learning, stay consistent, and don’t be afraid to ask for help when needed,’ Wambugu advises.
