I’m a simple, multi-talented, God fearing guy who strives on nothing but “Self-motivation and Resilience”. My belief is that every moment I spend on earth breathing is an opportunity to further better my life and break new boundaries. When God has given us Hands, Feet, Eyes, Ears, a mouth and tongue to talk and most importantly “Brains to think”, I believe there is absolutely no reason why we should “Complain” because he’s given us all the tools we need to achieve Greatness.
Born in the dusty streets of Mangaung (Bloemfontein, Free State, South Africa) many moons ago, later on during the journey of life I found myself in the middle of the ever buzzy city of Johannesburg (a city that never sleeps), and indeed it is in this same city were I coined and adopted a belief that says “Sleeping is for dead people, therefore I shall sleep when I’m dead”.
Even though my Entrepreneurial DNA goes back to my childhood years, it was in the Buzzy City of Johannesburg were I conceptualised my “journey” in business. I’m an Entrepreneur by day, a Business Management and Administration graduate with a strong interest and background in “Research and Development”. My core business focuses on the “Life and Survival of Businesses”. My job entails “Develop Business Solutions” through creative training seminars, conferences and other business concepts. These solutions are predominantly influenced by Economies, Technology and Innovation.
My work is fascinating to say the least, I get to learn, create exciting products and change lives at the same time. I also get to tap into people’s brains for information; I often say to people I’m a “Professor of everything” because hopping from one subject matter to another during my research is literally studying all those subjects at the same time, today I’m doing research on the Property Industry, tomorrow in Marketing, the next day in Information Technology and a whole lot more. However I have a particular interest in the Digital space because I believe the world’s future is simply “Digital”.
As an entrepreneur and through my work and experience, I now believe in “building brands” as opposed to “buying into businesses”, It is my belief that “Entrepreneurship” is the answer to South Africa’s social and economic challenges, if we can preach the gospel of Entrepreneurship enough (especially to the Now-Generation), in 20-30 years’ time we would have brought poverty and unemployment to its Knees.
I’m a very opinionated person with great interest in global politics and the economy (my focus is particularly in the politics of my own country South Africa). I’m therefore a Thought Leader, a Social Commentator and Writer in between my day job and by night. Even though time doesn’t always permit, I find fulfilment in writing opinion pieces based on current affairs (Anything topical under the sun), therefore making me a serial “Blogger” or a so called “Desktop Revolutionary”.
I also have great interest in my “Heritage and Religion”, my approach to life is predominantly influenced by where I come from (my roots and beginnings), Where I am (Spiritually and otherwise) and Where I am going. I always try to link “Heritage, Tradition and Religion” to make sense of things and that is why I do not believe in “Prescribed ways of doing things”, if we take time to reason to ourselves based on our own individual perspectives and not on what is prescribed, we would become much better people and experience true happiness.
I’m also an excellent communicator, and this has elevated me to a public speaker, doubling as both a Master of Ceremonies and a Motivational Speaker at both Business and Social Events. In my everyday life, I find myself leading both the Young and Old (even though my particular focus and passion is in the Youth). I subscribe to the principle of “Leading from the front”, I believe leadership is a “Gift” and leaders are born and not created, I subscribe to the belief that “Leadership studies are merely etiquette, but true Leadership comes from the inside”.
To simplify and wrap all of this up in one simple sentence, “I’m God empowered; his work in progress, a diamond in the rough which will undoubtedly come out shining-bright”………………………………………………………

Along the way during your journey of life you will come across obstacles, at some stage you were excited about your future, pursuing your dreams, maybe you lost your job, a failed relationship, health problems etc, and you find yourself breathing but not living, you are alive but you are not full of life, you need to stay alive your whole life.
ReplyDeleteDon't stop dreaming, don't stop pursuing your goals, don't loose your purpose, if you are going to stay alive your whole life you have to keep on dreaming, keep your dream alive by waking up everyday with a purpose, have a reason to get out of bed. Know that you did not accidentally land up on earth, you were made to serve a particular purpose in life, you are a person of destiny, God wants you to accomplish something, you were created to made a difference in society, yes you are going to come across obstacles but we cannot allow those obstacles to stop us from achieving...........a productive Monday to you, you, you and you, yes you too #AfricanChild
