Today I spent the better part of the day with quite a few members of my family and extended family members too. The morning begun with I picking my best friend ," My beloved mum" .She needed me to accompany her somewhere. On getting there I found some relatives who I haven't met for almost a year. It was so exciting to reconnect.One of my young auntie travelled from UK. Just to be in that special meeting. No wonder the saying goes. "East or West, home is best".

Let me tell you a story. A man sold lamps. He walked into a small village at night. It was very dark. Every house needed light. He knocked on the first door. No. Second door. No. Third door. Nobody came. By door ten he was tired. He wanted to go home. He said, "These people do not want lamps." Then he looked up. He saw one lit window . candle it was almost out. He walked up. He knocked. The woman opened the door. She said, "Please. Do you have a lamp? My candle is dying." He sold her three lamps that night. Here is the lesson. When you hear "no" or get silence, it does not mean "nobody wants this." It means "not me" and "not now." I know this pain. When I was a teacher, I told myself, "Nobody will buy this digital products.That was a lie. I just had not knocked on enough doors. ✅ Silence means not me. It does not mean not ever. ✅ Keep knocking. Ten people a day, like Day 35. ✅ Look for the lit window. Someone has the problem right now. ❌ Do not quit at door ten. ❌ Do not say "the market is bad." Say "I have more doors to knock." Today's 3 steps: 💪 Health: Move your body for 20 minutes. No excuses. ❤️ Family: Give your wife and kids 10 full minutes. Phone away. 💰 Business: Talk to 10 real people today. End with one question: "Would you like me to send it to you?" Your lit window is out there. Go find it. It takes one more knock to get a yes.

Changes come closer everyday. I have been thinking of how things are changing day and night. To be sincere, there's a big change almost everywhere. Technology is changing things all over the world. Almost in everything, things are not the same as before. And it's good to accept and move with others.

Yesterday we talked about a man who dug a well for 8 months. And covered it because he was scared to say the price. Some of you were brave. You asked. You said your price out loud. And some of you got a "no". Some of you got worse. You got silence. Let me tell you about my first "no” My salary was small. Rent was due. My wife never complained about money, but I could see it in her face at night. One evening I sent a message to a man I knew. I had a small furniture to sell him. I typed that message six times before I pressed send. My hand was shaking. He read it. He did not reply. Not even a "no". Just nothing. I put my phone down and I felt sick. I told myself, "You are not a business man. You are a teacher. Go back to class." I did not ask anybody again for three weeks. Those three weeks cost me far more than that one silence ever did. Here is what I know now. ❌ A "no" is not about you. ✅ A "no" usually means "not now" or "I did not understand". ❌ One silence does not mean you failed. ✅ Most people say yes only after you talk to them more than once. ❌ Asking one time and giving up is not selling. ✅ The follow up is where the money lives. People are busy. They saw your message while cooking. While in traffic. While holding a crying baby. They did not hate you. They forgot you. So go back. Not angry. Not begging. Just kind. "Hi, I know you are busy. I still want to help you with this. Should I send you the details?" That is all a follow up is. One kind line. TODAY — it is Sunday, so keep it simple: 1️⃣ HEALTH — move your body for 20 minutes. A walk is enough. Just move. 2️⃣ FAMILY — put your phone in another room for two hours. Then ask your wife or your husband one question: "What do you need from me this week?" Then be quiet and listen. Do not defend yourself. Just listen. 3️⃣ BUSINESS — go back to 3 people who never answered you. Three. Not thirty. One kind line each. Then write their names down. Hear me today. The money was never behind the first ask. It was behind the second one. Most people never reach it because one quiet phone screen told them to stop.

You know what I used to do? I used to look at people who were winning and think they were different. Better. Special. Then I realized something. They are not special. They are just further. Liz Fortune used to work 15 hours a day. Every day. Even Sundays. She was trapped in a job that owned her time and her life. She was not free. Today Liz is a self-made millionaire. Free from the job. Free from the trap. Here is the truth: The people ahead of you did not start special. They started where you are now. On Day 29. Tired. Doubting. Wondering if this will work. Then they kept going. Your turn: You are 29 days in. That is real. That is momentum. You have not quit like everyone else did. Tomorrow we talk to someone who made it. Tomorrow we hear how she went from 15-hour days to freedom. Tomorrow I will bring you proof that it works. Do three things today: ✅ Hit the gym (show yourself you are serious) ✅ Call your family (remind them why you are doing this) ✅ Finish one task (one more step toward freedom) Tomorrow. Same time. Liz is coming. She is going to show you what is possible. Sam Gicheha
