As an entrepreneur, it’s best to first work in a big company that has structure.
It opens up your mind to how you can position your own company. You will understand the use of HR, sales, R&D, Finance, audit, etc.
It’s an underrated hack that most don’t know.
Somewhere in your 20s or 30s you’ll get the opportunity to rebuild your life after a negative loop, heal from what broke you, live in your own space, reconnect with your discipline, and learn to love yourself again. It’s very important that you see that journey through.
@Takunachola@LizzyChansa We always live on what ifs especially na life nganaikosa like right now naka job tatwakwata yet the big man was that big and things wouldn't have been the way the are .
Dear men, have a very decent and realistic plan for your OLD AGE. Plan like no one will be there for you and let anyone who ends up turning up voluntarily, be a pleasant surprise.
@Takunachola@LizzyChansa Tried to explain that to someone how that has affected me in adult life and he was like "it's good your father died early coz ngawalitumpa" nalishokwa mwee nati okay I wish the same for your kids and he was like tatwakwata mucinshi😅. Was like thought it was good as he put it💀..
I was always curious when I heard that siblings don’t have relationships with each other as adults. Like, how does that happen?
Then I grew up and realised very quickly 😂
As a man. It is important to study your father & ensure you avoid the mistakes he made & improve on the better decisions he made. How his life pans out in old age, will be your blue print on how yours will pan out too.
and if you check yourself & you see that you come from a family that deep down is average, that your dad and mom aren't rich
pay solid attention;
if you know within yourself that in 24 hrs, if your entire family comes together, you can't raise $10k... bro, stay out of trouble. i will tell you that for free. you don't have any business with enjoyment or la vida loca. you have to get into the battlefield and work on yourself.
i will always tell the younger generation the truth, poverty is more damaging than most people understand.
& if you are in a situation where maybe a sibling of yours is in critical medical condition and if the entire family comes together but still can't raise money for treatment, surgery or maybe even an opportunity when it comes
i've heard of situations where someone got a free visa for a life-changing contract but the flight ticket was the issue cos the family couldn't support, they didn't have it. if deep down you know this could be your fate, put yourself in a position where every day of your life you are grinding to break that yoke. some days, go offline, switch off your phone and focus on becoming a better person every single day.
the consequences of being a young man without money or a supportive family are often brutal at the end of the day. as a young person coming up, you need to be paying attention to sir chris.
buena suerte as you do so 👍
If there is such a thing as an open secret, I’m going to let you in on one:
Capitalism favors owners (owners of capital).
Since most of us start with no inheritance, we enter the system with only our labor. 1/4
You will be tempted to show that you’re doing well, but it is important you resist the urge to perform for an audience that don’t matter. It’s very unnecessary.
Majita who are 30+ invest in formal wear as well. Two or three formal outfits would do. Some situations need you to come as a man not a boy with skinny jeans & sneakers like a wannabe cool teenager. You're the new uncles. Don't explain anything!🤝🏿
Corporate life will teach you that knowing the job is only half the battle.
The real skill is staying calm in meetings, reading the room, managing ego, receiving vague feedback, and not replying emails with your real thoughts.
@Melo_Malebo Met this woman wearing a ZCC badge 2 weeks ago at Shoprite here in Soweto and she said watch out of your friends you drink alcohol with, they don't like you. They speak bad about you. Stop telling them everything about you.
