Business -Ms Leah Wambui used to only sell alcohol in a liquor store she had opened in Kiambu County after she quit her white collar receptionist job.
Making the inspiring revelations on a Youtube channel a couple of days ago, Ms Wambui stated that she was not comfortable working for someone; and the salary was also not so good.
It was in 2015 when she met her first ever breakthrough after she bought a plot in Kitengela area in Kajiado county. It was a five-acre piece of land where she launched her Cheriez Properties Limited which deals in real estate.
“I sold my house with my husband’s blessing and decided to use some of the little savings that we had managed to raise. Our plan was to start with 10 houses,” she revealed.
Though she had struggled and managed to put up some well-furnished units, the stage to find occupants was another nightmare. The project would then stall in 2016.
“We had our first show house and we invited people to come. I thought that the moment we had the show house we would get clients. I got into a rude shock. People came but most of them were friends and relatives and not the actual buyers,” she divulged further.
The property guru said finding a buyer was not easy and almost gave up even after she tried reaching out to international buyers through online platforms.
But when she was just about to give up, the form four leaver received a life-changing phone call which turned her into a millionaire real estate businesswoman todate.
She details luck of trust with her employees who used to steal a lot from her sweat what even forced her to relieve most of them their duties.
“There is a day I woke up and relieved everybody of their duties because the syndicate of theft was too much. I would ship tiles and they would bring trucks at night to take the tiles. The project manager would also collude with contractors and inflate their invoices,” Wambui added.
Today, the millionaire lady has no regrets in taking this competitive route of earning a living with her eyes set to open branches around the country and abroad.
