People in the creative economy depend on their original ideas and knowledge to thrive. During hard economic times, one can easily get discouraged from continuing to do what they love. If you enjoy doing what you do, then you have no reason to give up.
Hard times should be a time to reinforce your creativity and move it to a new level. Spend your time creating more as better times are always ahead.
In this blogpost, I will share with you 3 ways to reinforce your creativity during difficult times.
Invest Your Time in Writing A Journal/Blog
Look at your current life state and draw your inspiration from it on what to write on. For example, I am writing this blogpost at a time when I have less work that pays. What I am writing here is what I am practicing right now. Writing anything useful that comes to my mind on my blog is what I have been doing for as long as I can remember.
It is important to dwell on positive things as opposed to negative ones. Every person who has succeeded in life confess that they found success the moment they dwelled on the positive things in life.
Focus on ways to create abundance and internalize it for your own benefit. When you do so, you will surely be preparing yourself for abundance and at the right time, you will receive it.
Try New Creative Things in Your Business or Freelancing
Every day ideas for your business or freelance career comes to mind. The hard part is introducing the ‘new’ ideas to your business and trying them out.
Take advantage of difficult times to experiment on those Ideas and see if they work. You never know, the ideas you have had in your mind for a long time might turn out to be the beginning of your success in business.
Think of Partnering With Established Individuals/Companies
During difficult times, money is scarce. Many at times, entrepreneurs and freelancers run out of money. On the other hand, many may have good ideas but lack financing to push the ideas forward.
How about reaching out to an established company in your field and seeking their help to push your idea forward to fruition? Does it sound difficult for you to pursue? Everything is worth trying in life. Make sure you are well prepared when approaching these partners.
If you pitch your idea well and it resonates well with their policy, then, they may consider working with you.
Conclusion
Don’t let difficult times kill your creativity or talent. Keep it alive by finding a way out for yourself. Identify best avenues that you can use to connect with the world. When you do so without ceasing, you will be enhancing your creativity in preparation for your next big break.
And that is it from me here.

There are several approaches to setting up a successful online business in Kenya. It all depends on the what one is aiming to achieve at the end. Its therefore important to ask yourself; what is my online business goal?
Are you trying to build a personal brand?
Do you want to take your existing offline business to the online marketplace?
Are you into building a digital service business from scratch?
Whichever your goal is, it has to start from somewhere. In this blogpost, I will share with you the fundamental approach to starting and running a successful online business in Kenya.
The Process
At this point, you have niched down your business idea and is now ready to setup an online business in Kenya.
Here are the steps I suggest you follow to setup a legitimate online business.

Step #1 Register Your Business Name With BRS
Identify a name to call your business and register it. Here is a blogpost I wrote about factors to consider when deciding on the business name to register. Also, I have a created a step by step video on how to register your business here.
BRS Portal
By doing this, your business will become legal. With a registered business, you can charge tax on the goods and services you offer. Also, you will be in a position to benefit from tax exemptions on the goods and services you offer.
A domain name is the address where people will find you online. For example www.cheptiony.com is the domain name for this blog. In Kenya, you can purchase a domain from Kenic.
Take time to settle on an easy to remember domain name. This is important. Also, choose a popular domain extension like .com or .co.ke for Kenyan websites.
The cost for this starts from $9/year.
Step #3 Get Hosting Service
This is where your website will be hosted. All files and content you share on your website will be stored in the cloud by your hosting service provider. You will purchase hosting based on the amount of information you will be sharing.
Most hosting providers charges are based on the web space you will get, number of websites you intend to host on the platform and more. Please check plans and pricing on the hosting service provider of your choice.
Carefully do you research and consult before purchasing your hosting. Where you will host your website is critical. Their servers must be reliable. You will not want to wake up to find out that your website is down and not loading.
If you are looking for pocket friendly hosting service, you can get it here starting from $20 a year.
Step #4 Website Builders And Content Management Systems (CMS)
This can cannot go without mentioning. You can get a domain and hosting directly from the popular website builders and Content Management Systems (CMS) like wordpress.com and wix.com. While building a website using website builders is easy for anyone with basic computer knowledge, the cost per year for the service is quite high.
Both options does the job well so choose carefully.
Step #5 Design Your Website or Hire Someone to Design it For You
Both options above (using CMS and Web Builders & Purchasing hosting) will require your input in designing a website for your business. First, write down the content describing the services you offer. If you have images and videos that you will want to share alongside your services, sort them and save them in one folder.
When done, design your website using the content.
If you are not good at designing websites and prefer someone else to do it for you, you can hire a professional website designer for as low as $50.
Here is a blogpost I wrote detailing how I hire a WordPress website designer from the popular freelancing platforms.
Step #6 Link Your Business To Your TAX Pin on ITAX
This is mandatory when you are transacting business with government. Therefore, its important to do this at the early stages of your business. Please consult with your tax accountant for assistance to do this. Alternatively, you can do this yourself by contacting KRA on ITax portal.
Step #7 Market Your Business Once Its Live
Once you have followed all these steps above successfully and your business is live online, start marketing it. When you have a well detailed website, its easy to market it. Take time to make changes on the site based on customer feedback. You will have more command and authority over your audience when you have functional website in place.
