We spoke to some MESHers who’ve gone through difficult times in their businesses but found ways to bounce back. They shared what went wrong, how they recovered, and their tips for anyone going through the same. Their stories are proof that setbacks happen but you can come back stronger.

Alaa! Pheny, dem wa ku-style nywele Umoja, mambo ilikuwa ngumu wakati wa maandamano. Watu walikuwa broke, wakakaa ndani, hakuna mtu alikuwa anakuja kusuka." Ali-feel ku-give up, lakini aka-remember vile ma-bigwig kama Coca-Cola walianza chini, aka-pata nguvu.

Pheny aka-decide ku-hustle online. Aka-expand game yake from WhatsApp to Insta, Twitter, na akacreate a TikTok page. Aki-weka number yake kwa posts, ikawa easy ma-client kum-reach, na bookings zika-increase. Pheny ali-learn consistency ndio key kwa socials na ukieka number hizo inquiries from clients zinakumotivate.

"kuwa persistent, right now that we have social media, it's good unashowcase your work each and every time, kitambo nilikuwa nakaa like a month sijapost but these days napost more often, utapata mtu anahave biz yako on their mind, it's good maybe uplan eg kupost every other week eg Friday an utapata feedback ata kama ni moja moja and finally utaget clients"

"it's good to plan, andika vizuri everything you want, what you want to buy, what is cheaper and usisikize advice za watu wengi, sit down na hii plan, execute one by one, if it works go with it, if it doesn't skiza advice kiasi then adjust, every end of the week fanya analysis uone vile vitu ziko"
