A friendship founded on business is better than a business founded on friendship. #startupguy #startupmzansi
Thank you!
Startup Mzansi Foundation began as a seed of an idea in 2010 and official work began in 2012. After years of cold-calling, hundreds of hours of Skype meetings, thousands of air miles, uncounted tweets and the unrelenting hustle of hundreds of entrepreneurs and volunteers, we have achieved an important milestone as a community.
Thank you to our first adopters, early investors, board, advisors, provincial ambassadors and committees, community hosts, partners, volunteers, contributors, reviewers and mentors who unreservedly shared their time, expertise and networks to allow this seed to sprout.
Thank you to the media that covered us, the public officials who supported and celebrated our arrival in their communities, and the unsung heroes who stepped up without hesitation when asked for help, asking nothing in return.
Together, we are on our way to creating a healthy entrepreneurial ecosystem that values reciprocity, philanthropy and empowerment.
Let us continue to work together to change the world through innovation.
I am looking forward to the next 15 years of the implementation of the 20 year Startup Mzansi Blueprint, of which the first 5 years have been very instrumental in what we have achieved thus far.
The journey is far from being over!
Entrepreneurial Regards,

I really have no idea who needs to hear this:
I don't know what might be happening in your life right now. You could still be BROKE, JOBLESS, AND JOYLESS. Maybe you're just where you are because of past situations - situations you had no control over and one's that you cannot really change today... Maybe you are still waiting for that one big BREAK that will change your life. That will create that ripple effect in your affairs but you're just feeling lazy, uninspired and are losing hope. I want you to know this: Laziness and Hopelessness are diseases and you are the cure. If you can't find the inspiration, become the inspiration. If you don't feel like doing something, do something. At the end of everything, all you need is to realise that if you are going to really change the world (and most importantly your life), you must start off by making up your bed. Get that simple task done. And if somehow (for whatever reason) the day does not go as you had wished it would, you would still come back to a made up bed and a cleaned up room. #startupguy
"Only look back to see how far you've come.
To see how old you look don't look at the mirror but go and see an old friend you haven't seen in 20 yrs.
Never regret over anything that has once made you happy in life.
Never worry yourself over things you can't change in life.
Never be desperate for anything life. When you are too desperate people realise you're weak, its human nature to take advantage of the weak.
Never break a promise you make to yourself.
Never allow people's judgement to put your life on hold. Anyone who cannot feel your sadness has no right to define your happiness in life.
You become wise when you stop living your life for people's attention and you become matured when you stop paying attention to everything people say about you. If you live for people's validation, you may die seeking their approval.
To discover yourself you must know your nature.
To know your power, you must find your weakness.
To get the answer for your future, try and compare your past with your present.
To have a friend you must be a friend.
To be easier to forget be easy to get.
To know a stupid liar they always have poor memory.
To frustrate your enemies, put them in suspense.
To be heard, learn how to listen.
To be a good listener, never listen to reply but listen to understand.
The best dialogue is the one you have with yourself.
The greatest war in life is to be your own enemy, fighting against yourself.
The first rule of love is to love yourself.
You can't give what you don't have, until you love yourself It's hard to love others.
Only look back to see how far you've come."

African entrepreneurs need to understand that entrepreneurship is about selling. There can never be enough of selling. This is why big companies have dedicated departments to achieve this goal, they don't just assume people know about their product or service offering, they remind them around the clock. I bet everyone knows about Clientele or Vodacom for that matter but they are constantly pushing advertising to get sales.

Lack of focus is the death of all potential. I wish everyone of us will focus on whatever we set our minds to achieve. We are already 5 days in to the year. Fear is a thing of the past! Make every day count! #startup2023 #startupguy
