My name is Daniel.
For many years, I built my business through honesty, patience, and strong relationships.
I was a distributor supplying goods to different businesses.
I believed that business was not only about money.
It was about trust.
When you build good relationships with customers, you expect them to respect the same trust you have given them.
Among my customers were two people I considered very loyal.
They had bought from me many times before.
They always paid on time.
They always kept their promises.
Because of the history we had built, I trusted them.
One day, they approached me and requested goods on credit so they could sell and pay after making their sales.
The first customer received goods worth KSh 2 million.
The second customer received goods worth KSh 1.8 million.
In total, I had given out goods worth almost KSh 3.8 million.
Before releasing the goods, we discussed everything.
They promised that after selling, they would return my money within three months.
I believed them.
I thought I was helping them grow their businesses while also expanding my own.
But after three months passed, something changed.
The payments did not come.
Whenever I called, there was always another excuse.
“Give us more time.”
“The business is slow.”
“We are trying to collect money.”
Days became weeks.
Weeks became months.
The same people who once called me their trusted supplier started avoiding my calls.
The money I needed to run my business was stuck.
My own operations started suffering.
I had suppliers waiting for payment.
Employees depending on salaries.
A business that I had built for years was now under pressure because of one decision based on trust.
I decided to seek legal help.
I reported the matter and followed the official process, hoping justice would help me recover what belonged to me.
But the process became frustrating that I even thought of hiring a killer squad to silence them, but this I feared because of the consequences that would follow.
The case moved slowly, and I felt like I was spending more energy fighting than running my business.
The stress affected me emotionally.
I started losing sleep.
I kept asking myself:
“How can people who benefited from my help turn against me?”
One day, a friend noticed my struggles and advised me to seek guidance from Dr. Magongo and gave me his contacts +254720899984 as part of a traditional consultation and personal reflection process.
I contacted him through the number my friend provided and shared my situation.
I explained the lost money, the broken promises, and the pressure I was facing.
Dr. Magongo listened and encouraged me to remain calm. We performed a symbolic cleansing process to represent releasing the burden of betrayal and seeking restoration.
The process included symbolic items representing reflection, renewal, and moving forward.
After that period, I decided to change how I handled business.
I started keeping stronger agreements.
I became more careful with giving goods on credit.
I learned that trust must always be supported by clear responsibility.
Less than two weeks later, something unexpected happened.
The customers who had delayed payment started contacting me.
One after another, they called.
Their attitude had changed.
They apologized for the situation and asked for forgiveness.
They explained that they had faced serious difficulties in their businesses and wanted to find a way to resolve the matter.
I listened.
I remembered the frustration I had gone through.
But I also understood that the most important thing was finding a peaceful solution.
We began discussions about settling the debt.
The experience changed me forever.
I learned that business requires both trust and protection.
Kindness is important, but proper agreements are also necessary.
Today, I continue doing business, but I do it with more wisdom.
I no longer rely only on promises.
I rely on records, agreements, and responsible decisions.
The biggest lesson I learned was this:
A good relationship can open doors, but good systems protect what you build.
