Give Me My Mountain: From a Single Shop to an Empire

by Esther Muchemi

On the day Esther Muchemi was born, in a little village overlooking Mount Kenya, her parents could not have known what an extraordinary gift she was to the world. From an early age, she believed she was meant for greatness and pursued it without compromising her standards.

In the last 18 years, she has conquered unimaginable mountains, especially in the world of business and investment. She has built Samchi empire that spans telecommunication, micro finance, property and hospitality sectors. She has cemented herself as one of Africa’s foremost entrepreneurs.

In 2017 she received the Global Inspirational Women Leadership Award for her ingenious efforts and accomplishments. In the same year, she was inducted into the Amazons 100 Global Women Leaders Hall of Fame.

Her boldness, resilience and unshakable faith in God has made her reach unimaginable heights. Give Me My Mountain is Esther’s story simply told: to inspire a new generation of entrepreneurs, male and female, to ask for their mountains, their destiny, their inheritance and ferociously go for them.

[Nduku · Rating 5 out of 5]

Really inspiring book. Simple principles that I've heard over and again but brought out differently. What makes it more interesting is that I look out for these businesses in my day to day life. I would recommend this book to women business owners looking to rediscover their why.

Excellent, well written and to the point. Relevant for anyone in leadership and for all entrepreneurs.

I hoped for more in depth description of the stories that would have helped understand the principles she was bringing out in her book.
