Lynn Kemunto Patrick has revolutionized the logistics industry and empowered small businesses through her venture, On the Go World.
She provides storage space and delivery services to online businesses.
Here is Lynn’s inspiring entrepreneurial journey as told by WoK.
Building On the Go World
Her entrepreneurial journey began with the establishment of On the Go World, a unique business that offers storage space and efficient delivery services for online businesses.
By providing rental shelves, Lynn enables small businesses to sell their products online while she handles the crucial aspects of pick-up and delivery, serving as the face of their enterprises.
With over 100 small businesses under her roof, Lynn’s innovative approach has gained significant traction in the industry.
“I offer storage space for small businesses as well as delivery services. This means that when you rent a space, you sell your wares online while I handle the pick-up and delivery service of things. This means I am the face of your business,” she told the Daily Nation.
Overcoming Challenges
Like any entrepreneur, she faced challenges on her path to success. In the early stages, financial constraints posed a hurdle as her business relied solely on the demand for her delivery services.
However, Lynn’s perseverance and determination helped her navigate these obstacles. Today, On the Go World boasts three branches and a fully-fledged delivery company equipped with a fleet of motorcycles.
Managing a growing team and ensuring seamless operations remain key aspects of Lynn’s entrepreneurial journey.
The Unexpected Lottery Win
In a delightful twist of fate, the entrepreneur life took an extraordinary turn when she became a lottery winner.
Participating in a lottery game, she was fortunate enough to win Ksh 500,000. This unexpected windfall presented Lynn with new possibilities for her business.
With the prize money, she plans to invest in her logistics company by acquiring 2-3 motorbikes for deliveries. This strategic move aims to enhance customer satisfaction and streamline day-to-day operations.
Empowering Small Businesses
At the core of Lynn’s journey is her dedication to empowering small businesses. Through On the Go World, she helps these enterprises thrive by providing them with essential storage space and efficient delivery services.
The businesswoman takes pride in supporting small businesses from their initial stages, nurturing their growth until they reach a point where they can secure their own physical shops.
Additionally, she actively seeks to employ young mothers, offering flexible work arrangements and contributing to their personal and professional development.
