How this former teacher built a Multibillion hidden resort in Mbiuni, Machakos and his life lessons

Рет қаралды 319,146

Ай бұрын

Today, Mr.Kitonga owns a Multibillion hidden resort in Mbiuni, Machakos. A very beautiful place built on a hill. But this former high school teacher knows what it means to hustle your way up.
Upon winning a green card to America, he started his life from scratch and quickly moved his family to Philadelphia.
They worked hard and saved relentlessly because they knew discipline, consistency, and hard work would open more doors for them.
On today’s episode of Inspire Global, Mr.Kitonga walks us through his journey of owning the resort, his family’s support and why he decided to build it in his rural home

It is the American dream that made him achieve all the accomplishments.Otherwise if he was to retire here as a teacher,impossible to be there where Kitonga is.

@abundancechurchinternational Ай бұрын

Do the maths. There's NO WAY the Kenyan Teachers salary can and could have done this. Why are people that gullible? Even if he had saved all his salary for all those years he was employed and we know that didn't happen, it would have never been enough to build one of those chalets. Even landscaping that hilly side would have cleared any savings he had accumulated. Telling a fantastic story doesn't make one to be believable and take that from me.
