@your_money_blog @WesHellyar brilliant article with some very relevant and eye opening points.

Absolutely agree!

The key to success isn’t intelligence.

It’s sales.

If you can get uncomfortable and put yourself out there you’re half way there.

If you can be compelling and attract others to your way of thinking you’ll win.

LIFE is all about sales.

[Michelle Coates @MishCoates]

Definitely some truth in this.

“When the student is ready, the teacher appears.”

A lot of people want to blame the school system or their parents for not teaching them about money.

But the fact is, if you weren’t ready for it, you wouldn’t have listened.

Now you’re ready. That’s why you’re learning.

Delay of gratification is a skill that most children and many adults have yet to master. While this is not surprising in children, it is deeply concerning in adults.

@ImcocoMash Very good question, I’d love to know this answer too.

As much as I loved learning about parallelograms at school, a few lessons on financial literacy would have been rather beneficial.

[Michelle Coates @MishCoates]

@SteveOnSpeed Yes. So often we’re made to feel guilty for not spending every free second learning, growing and developing. You can’t do these things if you don’t take time to relax and recharge.

[Michelle Coates @MishCoates]

Guilty!

By the time your child is 18 months old, they have the capability of understanding very basic money concepts, like putting coins in a piggy bank (under supervision).

[Mashudu Modau @Mashstartup]

After reading all the business books, attending the entrepreneurship events and listening to the startup podcasts - you have to execute. It doesn’t matter how much of that knowledge you consume, what do you actually apply?

[Michelle Coates @MishCoates]

Young children learn through observation and imitation. All you as a parent have to do, is speak, act and create in the way in which you hope you children will one day.

[Michelle Coates @MishCoates]

Great advice
