I've invented my own portmanteau today to describe a way in which I think many jobless/retrenched Kenyans may find gainful employment. A jobpreneur is a person with a skillset suitable for an office job who outsources her skills to willing payers through the Internet. A jobpreneur is a worker and therefore will want a business model that almost approches an employer-employee relationship. But a jobpreneur is also a businessperson because she is ready to control the future of her income through her own hard work. A jobpreneurs skillsets are diverse but primarily use the computer: data entry, transcription, graphic design, software development, language editing, music composition, research, journalism etc. Genius Executive Center is helping jobpreneurs set-up their operations and start earning money using their skills by providing furnished offices, consultancy and financing.

A read I thought would be of interest: LITTLE might be known about Imran Khosla, but not so for those who frequent courts or those in the information and communication technology industry. His is a story of a young entrepreneur who has refused to sit and just wait for jobs to come but has decided with the little cash he has to start off his own business that is now giving birth to new ventures beyond what he had imagined.

I wanted to create my own job, and be my own boss, this was the inspiration that threw me into the world of entrepreneurship, and four years on, I tell you all is well and you cannot believe it I have over ten employees, and whose turnover is running into fortunes now,” Imran says with a cheer. His journ...

Are you the same guy for SoftLaw, if so congratulations on you and your partner's success.
I'm sure we don't have a policy for recruiting only under 24's. I know there are two vacancies which require 26 and under, but for all other positions there is no age limit. You're right though that most of our employees are in the 24 or under age bracket, but this is more of a coincidence.

What is the difference between the 9,999/- and 20,000/- plans?
You should put up a table that shows the benefits of the different plans at a glance.
Is the fee payable monthly or annually?
Is there VAT?
What calls are allowed for free?
Great idea and I am seriously consdering it!
Right on! You guys are so innovative. This is something that you could export all over the continent.
It makes good business sense. Here in the States there's a similiar business model called "office suites" whereby small consultants use a shared phone line, shared computer, time-shared office space or conference room, mailing address (with their own individualized "suite#").
It worked too, the company that I, at one time, co-owned was actually a tenant of such a suite.
