The Secret That Is Making Other People’s Business Prosper While Yours Keeps Collapsing
My name is Michael Odongo, a 42-year-old entrepreneur from Jinja, Uganda, and I am sharing this testimony because I know many people silently struggle with the same problem I faced. For years, I watched friends and competitors succeed in business while mine kept failing.
No matter how hard I worked, invested, or planned, every venture collapsed within months. I was frustrated, depressed, and at times, ready to give up entirely.I started my first small retail shop hoping to provide for my family and create a better future. Initially, things seemed okay. I had customers and decent sales.
But within three months, profits disappeared. Items would get spoiled, customers would stop coming, and unexpected losses seemed to hit me constantly.
I tried another business—a small farming project—but the same thing happened. Each time, I would invest my savings, only to see it vanish in a short time.I could not understand why others seemed to prosper effortlessly while I struggled endlessly. I consulted friends, accountants, and even local business advisors, but nothing worked. I prayed, worked longer hours, and even changed locations, but the cycle continued.
I started believing I was cursed or that success was not meant for me. My confidence fell, and my family began doubting if my businesses would ever improve.One evening, while talking to a close family friend in Kampala, I shared my frustration. She listened carefully and then told me that sometimes repeated business failures are caused by negative forces, jealousy, or hidden blocks that prevent growth.
