The first turn of the wheel is the hardest.

Forward momentum in startups is a defining characteristic of the ones that make it. Objects in motion stay in motion. Objects at rest stay at rest.

Keep moving, my friends!

@CindyPoluta After 8 months of no rent payments.

We decided it was important to do maintenance on the doors as winter was starting.
Left them with the security gates but took the doors to a carpenter.
Electrical fault sadly happened same time.

1 week and they left.

@cyclingfun2 @SBSSportau The tweet reads ‘a stage victory.’

But live and let live.
Biniam put together a world class tour and is a great ambassador for the sport across Africa.

@AndreBothmaTax Challenge is you are dealing with the start up owner pre income and thus very limited $$ to make operations viable. But if business is positioned as a lead generation to further services into the small business it work.

@MonsterJam Sadly your traffic management team still has everyone queuing outside. Over two hours of gridlock.

[James Thompson @jmtrow]

@tracylee421 @showtime_sa this is the worst traffic management plan ever seen at FNB stadium. 90minutes to queuing passes 1 traffic marshal.
2 km to go.

@jc_za @JoePompliano @lancearmstrong Love a good fiction.

2023 going to be a interesting year for local e-commerce with Amazon arriving.

Mind blowing numbers: almost 50% of South Africa's 2022 e-commerce spend (R55billon) is on Takealot, they are running at a 3% loss and must now deal with Amazon arrival.

@jc_za @Cyclingnewsfeed Dollars. Added plenty dollars to the organisers.

@hiltontarrant @ortambo_int Have been wondering what's happening over last few visits.
Clearly battling to keep it together.

Must have been a management change in last 12months.

@JSE_Group R35 a day on coffee get you to R12.5k. assuming you don't have to buy your own coffee at home. It's not a rough example, it's 70% out from reality.

@dannicholl @timharris @SoldierboyInc @MapsMaponyane @JohnSmit123 @CJBents @Daniel_Egdes @granthepburn Sorry it took 3 days to see this, I was just in the rough looking for my balls.

Successful people have two things that differentiate them:

1. They've learned how to embrace and deal with failure from an early age

2. They have a broad set of mental models that allow them to see and approach problems from a different angle
