Last Monday, the 28th Day of November 2011, marked my 32 years on this little planet we call Earth. And as God (and the Thanksgiving turkeys and pumpkins) would have it, 28th November 2011 is also the official date of formation of my brand-new Delaware company, Amenfis LLC.

Below is a screenshot taken from the official entity name search website of the Division of Corporations of the Delaware Department of State.

It’s been a roller-coaster ride for me throughout these past 32 years. I’m privileged to have enjoyed some of the best things that this life has got to offer. But I’ve also had my fair share of the tears and toils that this life brings along. Together, these ups and downs have shaped me into who I am today, and prepared me for the brave new journey I am now embarking on.

After 32 years, one absolute truth I’ve come to know about my self is that I LOVE teaching. No, not the “talk n’ chalk” type (even though I excel at that as well), but working with smart people to set life-changing goals and formulate actionable plans, and “barking” at them to relentlessly push through to the finish line.

I’m also intimately passionate about computers, gadgets, and anything that has the humble transistor in it, whether it’s individual transistors or a billion of them packed together.

These are a few of my favorite things, and with this new Delaware LLC, I’m embarking on a new career path which brings together these passions of mine.

I want to work with smart computer professionals who desire to start their own computer service businesses, or who are already out there in the trenches running their businesses but are struggling to get new high-value clients and unable to efficiently serve the few they have.

I want to work with these people and help them design sellable managed IT service offerings, launch proven-to-work sales and marketing campaigns, and equip them to deliver on their promise to their clients. I want to offer my clients computing infrastructure and services that they can re-sell to their own clients from day 1, so they wouldn’t need a truck load of cash to launch their businesses. And I’m also going to offer my new clients the guarantee and the confidence that I will always be here for them to escalate to any difficult technical problems that they are unable to solve.

That is the plan. So you can say life is really getting started at 32 for me, and I intend this new life to be a turbo-growth one, decidedly focused on living the life I’ve been dreaming and contemplating all these past 32 years but never had the courage to pursue.

New, But Not Really New

Most of you reading this probably know I already have a company in Ghana, Amenfis Communications Limited (soon to be re-named Amenfis Ghana Limited). A few of you may also know that I am involved in another company (Telesoft Company Limited), as well as a dozen or so other projects.

So why this new company, and why in America, and why now?

In a separate article I will explain the thinking behind forming an LLC in the USA (and particularly in the US state of Delaware). But let it suffice to say now that it wasn’t a result of those late night whims of mine. Running a company is not an easy thing, and doing so in a foreign country where I’m not a citizen or resident is a thousand times harder. But I thought through and prayed over this for years, and when life presented an incredible opportunity, I gladly accepted it.

In due time, I’m going to divest myself of everything else, starting with those pet projects, and focus all my energies on this new company.

Not To Worry, Existing Clients

If you’re an existing client, you’re probably wondering what this means to you. The answer, in a word, is… nothing. If I do provide services to you today, whether you’re based in Ghana, America or anywhere else in the Universe (hell not included), I want to assure you that I do respect our relationship, and nothing is going to change anytime soon. I’m still your old and trusty servant, always available to serve you day and night.

I still love putting my screw drivers to good use, and I intend to continue working with computers for as long as I have breath and can breathe. And if life and business realities force me to tow in a different direction, you can safely bet that I will work with you to ensure a smooth transition to one of my IT Services Provider clients, or any other computer consultant of your choosing.

So there you have it, Amenfis LLC, the brand-new Delaware LLC. Thank you all for your friendship and for your business. Here is to a wonderful new relationship, going forward.
