"A high performer is not automatically a future leader."

That distinction took centre stage as CPA @KamulegeyaUg , Business Leader and Social Entrepreneur, unpacked strategic talent management at the 31st Annual Seminar.

He urged leaders to deliberately identify high-potential talent, create the right environment for them to thrive and, importantly, prepare them for leadership before placing them in positions of responsibility.

HAPPENING NOW:
The launch of the Southern Buganda Regional Members Network is underway.

CPA Ssali Ally, Interim Chairperson of the Southern Buganda Regional Members Network, emphasised the need for accountants to evolve beyond traditional number-crunching roles and become trusted business advisors, analysts and custodians of financial information.

He highlighted mentorship, professional networking, integrity and community engagement as key pillars of the newly activated network, with a vision of creating opportunities for young professionals to learn, connect and grow.

The network aims to build a strong membership base of 40 CPAs and 35 CPA students, while contributing to financial accountability and development across the region.

Will Money Change Me?

Being a Gen X fella has exposed me to constant waves of change. We grew up with cassette tapes, CDs, floppy disks, DVDs, USB drives, and now online streaming. Ours is the generation that has learned to adapt. We have seen entire technologies rise and disappear, and somehow, we just moved on to the next thing.

A couple of days ago, I was standing in a banking hall chatting with a gentleman in front of me. He was 72, considering retirement, but unsure what he would do with all his free time. When I told him I was 49, he smiled and said, "You're still young. One day you'll be a millionaire."

His words stayed with me.

I'm still scratching my head about how exactly that will happen. Like most people, I desire financial security and abundance. But I often wonder: if that day comes, how much would it really change me?

Growing up in an era of constant change has taught me something important. Technology changes. Careers change. Countries change. Circumstances change. But character has a way of following you wherever you go.

Money can improve your options, remove unnecessary stress, and amplify your impact. But I doubt it changes who you are. More often, it reveals who you have always been.

Perhaps that's why I no longer obsess over becoming wealthy. I focus more on becoming useful, staying curious, and remaining grateful. If wealth arrives along the way, I suspect I'll still be the same fellow—just with a few more opportunities to help others and a few less things to worry about.

And maybe that's what wealth is really supposed to do.

Not change us, but free us to become more of who we already are.

Your Biggest Economic Asset Is Invisible!

You have probably heard of a balance sheet. It is simply a statement of assets minus liabilities that determines the net worth of a company or an individual.

When you have a moment, list all the things you own that have economic value (things that can be sold) and all your liabilities (money you owe). When you deduct liabilities from assets, what remains is your net worth.
It is not uncommon for young people to have a negative net worth, especially if they took on debt to acquire skills through education. However, the reason many people show very little net worth—or even negative equity—is that accounting rules do not allow ordinary people to place a value on their skill sets.
If they did, many would be pleasantly surprised to discover that they themselves are multi-million assets.

Appreciating this fact might even change how people approach economic decision-making.
Unlike a house, a business, or a stock portfolio, it is difficult to value your skills. You cannot list them on your balance sheet, and no bank statement arrives each month showing their worth. Yet they are often the most valuable asset you will ever own.
If we borrow a concept from finance and use a discounted cash flow model, the picture becomes clearer.

Take a 35-year-old with twenty years of working life ahead of them, earning $1,000 per month. Assuming a market interest rate of 10%, the present economic value of that future income stream is approximately $102,000 (You can change the inputs to reflect your skillset value).

In other words, your skill set has economic value today because it is capable of generating future cash flows.

To be continued...

Today, I wanna explain two of the variables I mentioned yesterday: age and risk . The most important variable in investing and growing wealth is time. And when you are young you have plenty of it! 1/4
