It was important to continue the work and take care of the welfare of the family for Kenzhetay Zhumagalievna. Thus, she became a business woman for the first time.
"Of course, the business was for me a new area. I was a nurse, I understood little in business. I grew up in the village, so in a short time I mastered the business. On the other hand, during that period I had to withstand and not stop working. Do you remember the beginning of 2000s? Time of trials and risks", - she said.
The woman got to farm with an area of over 1,000 hectares. In addition to the livestock on the farm she grew wheat, barley and soybeans. At that time, due to lack of working professionals, Kenzhetay Zhumagalievna drove the tractor and even was a shepherd. Although the situation has changed, the entrepreneur still starts every weekday at 6 a.m.

You can take a loan, the conditions for the issuance and receipt of become more flexible, there are a lot of state support measures. Therefore, you need only to work, to go ahead and not give up. I always say, and encourage women not to be afraid and to be active. Because there a lot of examples when one fragile woman supports a family, raises children, runs business and helps the community. This once again proves that women can do anything! "- she added.
According Kenzhetaeva, the main secret of its success and business success in the hard work and support of family. "When it comes to business, I always say that this is not only my merit. Because all this time, my husband Doszhan Tazabekov supported me, giving me strength. Probably, thanks to him, I'm whi I am! I can’t imagine myself without him, maybe I would not have succeeded without his participation and support ", - said the businessman.
