There is a significant difference between feeling embarrassed about a difficult situation and covering it up to maintain a false reputation.

Embarrassment is a natural human emotion. We all experience setbacks, challenges, mistakes, and moments when life doesn't go according to plan. But pretending everything is fine when it isn't often prevents us from getting the help, guidance, and support we need.

I've noticed that many people, especially in the age of social media, feel pressured to maintain an image that suggests everything is perfect. Unfortunately, that illusion rarely helps anyone. Behind the carefully curated posts and appearances, many people are facing challenges they never speak about.

As I grow older, I have learned the value of being honest about my situation and seeking the right counsel when I need it. Openness is not weakness; it is a sign of self-awareness and courage. Some of the best decisions I have made came from conversations where I was willing to admit that I didn't have all the answers.

What I've discovered is that most people genuinely want to help. They may not solve every problem, but they can offer perspective, encouragement, connections, and support that can make a meaningful difference.

There is wisdom in knowing when to ask for help. Sometimes the breakthrough we're looking for begins with an honest conversation.

Good morning!

A happy New Month!

I was privileged and honored to serve as the Guest of Honor at the USPIRE Professional Development Graduation Ceremony.

My message to the graduates was simple: Skills are the new currency.

In a rapidly changing world, the ability to learn, adapt, and continuously improve is becoming one of the most valuable assets anyone can possess. The certificates awarded today represent more than the completion of a course—they symbolize commitment, sacrifice, perseverance, and a decision to invest in personal growth.

I reminded the graduates that their certificates are not the finish line, but a key that can unlock new opportunities. The true value of their training will be measured by how they apply their knowledge, solve problems, create value, and positively impact their communities.

As they begin this next chapter, I encouraged them to remain lifelong learners, pursue excellence in everything they do, and use their skills to contribute meaningfully to society.

Congratulations to the Class of 2026. May this achievement be the foundation for even greater accomplishments, opportunities, and impact in the years ahead.

Thank you to the visionary Mr Felix Mwansa and members of the USPIRE faculty.

It’s 31st May 2026, and tomorrow we step into June. We are almost halfway through the year, with 214 days still remaining before 2026 comes to an end.

The year has moved incredibly fast, and for many people it may feel like time has slipped away. It’s easy to look at the goals you set in January and think it’s too late to start, too late to recover, or too late to make meaningful progress.

But I want to remind you of something important: it is never too late to begin.

The moment you become aware that you have drifted off course is the very moment you can realign yourself. Five months may be behind us, but the future is still unwritten. The past is gone, but your power lies in what you choose to do next.

You still have the opportunity to learn a new skill, improve your health, strengthen your relationships, grow your finances, start that business, pursue that qualification, or become the person you set out to be.

Don’t measure the year by what you haven’t done. Measure it by what you can still do.

With 214 days remaining, there is enough time to change your trajectory, build momentum, and achieve goals that today may seem distant.

Start where you are. Use what you have. Take the first step today.

The best part of your year does not have to be behind you—it can still be ahead of you.

I woke up early this morning to participate in a wonderful marathon held in support of the girl child, women, and Zambia. I had signed up for the 10km race and set myself a target of completing it within 90 minutes.

As we gathered at the starting point, the skies were dark and the distance ahead looked long. At that moment, it felt almost impossible. But I started anyway.

Step by step, kilometre by kilometre, time kept moving. Before I knew it, at 07:21, I had crossed the finishing line and achieved my goal.

The experience reminded me of an important lesson: when we look at a big goal from the starting point, it often seems too far away. But time never stands still—it keeps moving whether we act or not. So why not start today?

There were moments along the route when I felt pain and considered giving up. Yet I kept going. Somehow, as I continued putting one foot in front of the other, the pain faded and my determination grew stronger.

Another lesson stood out. There is a saying: “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” The energy of the other runners, the encouragement along the route, and the shared purpose kept my momentum alive. Success is often easier when we surround ourselves with people who inspire, challenge, and support us.

Crossing that finishing line brought a deep sense of fulfillment. The joy of achieving a goal, doing something positive for my health, and contributing to a meaningful cause is difficult to put into words.

So why stay in bed? Why postpone your dreams, goals, or plans? Start where you are. Take the first step. Keep moving. Time will pass anyway. One day, you may look back and realize that what once seemed impossible was simply a journey waiting to be started.

When it comes to working on ourselves and developing our lives, we often focus on our spiritual growth, careers, finances, businesses, networks, relationships, and personal development. But many times, we forget the very thing that enables us to pursue all these goals — our bodies.

Last year, I fell sick, and it forced me to slow down in many areas of my life. During that period, I also experienced mild depression, even though I continued showing up every day. Thankfully, my doctor quickly noticed it.

That season taught me something powerful: good health is not optional — it is the foundation of everything else. It taught me to take better care of myself, to prioritize my body, rest, and overall well-being before anything else.

You can achieve every dream you have, build wealth, grow your career, and accomplish great things, but once your health begins to fail, everything else suddenly loses meaning.

That is why exercise has now become a non-negotiable part of my mornings. Unless I am recovering, I do not miss it for anything.

It’s 08:00hrs in the morning, and I’ve already completed my 10,000 steps.

Let’s take care of our bodies and hit those goals. 💪

Learning is continuous, and today I had the privilege of receiving my Certificate in Corporate Governance from The Institute of Directors Zambia following an intensive training on the 2026 Banking and Financial Services Act and Corporate Governance Directives.

This experience has deepened my understanding of governance, accountability, leadership, and ethical decision-making in the financial sector. Grateful for the opportunity to keep growing professionally and contribute meaningfully to building stronger institutions.

A special thank you to Standard Chartered Bank and the facilitators for investing in continuous learning and development.

The first dead 10years of investing.

I had an amazing session with the live the dream team. Below 👇 is a summary of today’s mentorship class.

The first 10 years of investing are often the hardest.

You sacrifice, stay disciplined, delay gratification — yet the results feel painfully slow. Most people quit during this phase because compounding hasn’t fully taken effect yet.

But those “silent years” are usually the most important years of wealth creation.

At first, your money grows mainly from your contributions. Later, your accumulated capital begins working harder than you do.

The early years are not wasted years.
They are the years where habits, patience, knowledge, discipline, and ownership are built.

Real wealth is rarely built overnight.
It is built quietly through consistency, time, and uninterrupted compounding.

The goal is not just getting rich.
The goal is building freedom, cash flow, and legacy.

Thank you live the dream team for having me.

I am delighted to announce that I will be conducting my first mentorship class in 2026, following an extended hiatus.

The session, titled 'The First Dead 10 Years of Investing & Compounding,' promises to be enlightening.

This period is often referred to as the silent years of growth pursuit, characterized by imperceptible progress and painstakingly slow growth.

You are cordially invited to join me tomorrow, 26th May 2026, from 18:00 to 19:00 hours via
