I'm encouraged to see that many managers I’ve spoken with are beginning to recognize that hiring the right people is the foundation of strong business performance. When someone lacks the capacity for their role, they simply won’t deliver results. That’s why it’s crucial to be rigorous in the hiring process—getting it right from the start saves you from the costly burden of micromanaging underperformers or training them on skills they should already have. There’s no bigger responsibility for a manager than ensuring every role under their supervision is filled with the right person.

TM Pick n Pay spent over $3 million (2 million litres) on diesel for backup generators in 2023.
How could you potentially make money from this?
If you are in the solar business, large retail chains are an opportunity. If they are spending $3 million on diesel, could you not make a pitch to replace that with solar?
If you are in the software space, I imagine keeping track of diesel usage could be a very manual process. Could you provide a simple solution for this? Perhaps software that can track when generators are switched on and off and calculate the forecasted usage.
If you are in the fuel business, do you have a pipeline of retail chains in your sales funnel? OK, Zimbabwe also has similar usage to many other retail chains. If you are not competing in this space are you not missing out.
If you service generators, are you on the approved supplier list for most retail chains? I imagine they have to get these services regularly as they are so important for the business.
Where else can you see Money to made and what other Moves could people take?
PS: Let me know if that could also be of value. I often come across a lot of hidden opportunities or ideas.
I am thinking of sharing more of these on the email list.
The idea is that Money & Moves is not just about Finance & Strategy but also literally where the Money is & what Moves you can make.

Currently we have cabbages, tomatoes, & onions in our garden” Susan Baradze.
