A joyful day and a prosperous year to all of you, from all of us at The Failure Effect.

Many can relate to this:
You leave your job because you have a brilliant business idea. You might have some money stashed away, but not enough to hire staff. You figure you'll bootstrap it as you go along, and hire as you make money.
A year or two later, solopreneur burnout starts to hit. You realise it's lonely work, doing it all by yourself. Business doesn't pick up as fast as you thought it would, partly because you have no one to brainstorm or create with. And your funds are running out. This is when you start cleaning up your CV and going back into the job market.
Violette Nduku Wambua, founder and CEO of the popular networking platform Networking in Heels, is very familiar with all of this. She founded and ran this networking event for a few years... until the stress of doing it by herself caused her to nearly give it up.
Ten years later, Networking In Heels is back, bigger and stronger... but not without Violette learning a few hard lessons along the way - including why an should give their business 100% of their focus instead of making it a side-hustle.

Muthoni Ngugi: A Lesson In How To Thrive After A Bad Relationship Gets You Sh10m In Debt
Muthoni Ngugi was a successful young businesswoman who, at the age of 23, was already making Sh5 million a month from her furniture business, Gaze Furnishings Kenya. Then she met a man... and six months into their relationship, found herself at his mercy, with a baby in tow, suffering severe beatings every day and wondering how to escape her circumstances. What followed was a series of painful events that saw the near-collapse of her business, and forced her to not only take hold of her life, but also reckon with how she had arrived at that point and what she needed to do to change her life for the better. This is The Lady Carpenter's story.
