He got grade C- in high school, never went to university, but he is now rich!
This story proves beyond reasonable doubt that there is no
relationship between school and being rich. Meet William Kibiwot Towett, a 27
years old man from Nakuru. Kibiwot
estimates himself to be worth between 40-45 million Kenyan shillings.
How did he get rich in Kenya at 27?
Kibiwot is humble guy who grew up in Kaptembwa, one of the
slums around Nakuru town. He says that it was not easy growing up. He always wondered
why other people had things that he could not have. His parents could barely afford
the basic needs.
After sitting for his KCPE in 1999 at Mama Ngina Primary
school, he joined a high school in Baringo. He was expelled from the school
when he was in form 1.
After staying at home for 6 months, he joined another school
and managed to complete his high school education. Biology was his worst subject.
He preferred hiding to attending Biology classes. One of his teachers even told
him that he will live a miserable life if he does not get good grades.
Today, Kibiwot is a businessman and farmer. He owns a motor
show room in Nakuru and engages in maize and wheat farming. But how did he
start?
After high school studies, Kibiwot was employed in a car
wash. It is here that he learnt more about cars and got interested in the car selling
business. He bought his first car at Ksh 15 000 from his savings and some money
that his late mother had left. It was an old Peugeot 206. He refurbished it and
later sold it at Ksh 70 000.
Later he saved and bought two cars at Ksh 400 000 each and
sold them both to a single client at 1.2 million shillings. This is how made
his first million.
Kibiwot remembers vividly a client who once told him to get
out of his face because there was nothing he could offer when he was cleaning
cars. 8 years later, he met the guy, who now looks at him from a different
perspective.
Truly, there is nothing you can’t achieve if you put your mind
to it.
