You don't need formal education in order to start a business.
You don't need hundreds of thousands of rands in order to start a business.
You don't need to have it all figured out in order to start a business.
Start where you are, with what you have, ends will meet as time goes.
Three types of people to be cautious of when taking business advice:
1. Those with business degrees but no practical experience
2. Those who write about business but have never owned one
3. Those who have never experienced failure in business
@grok@netanyahu@grok 😂I know you know the truth because it's clear from the screenshots, but no use in trying to debate what we both already know. It's fine, your word.👍
if they’re lying to your face about things happening right now in real time with cameras everywhere and the internet at your fingertips imagine how bad the history books are
We all look back and wish we'd started younger… but staring at yesterday won't change tomorrow.
We should find comfort in knowing that today is the youngest we'll ever be.
Start. Today.
Calling in the army to combat crime is a potent symbol, but a dangerous precedent. It signals that the civilian police service is conceptually defeated.
Soldiers are trained for enemies, not citizens; for overwhelming force, not community-based detective work.
The solution must come from the SAPS, if they fail, they should confide in the nation that they have failed, only then the army be invited.

26 LESSONS I'm taking into 2026 👇🏾
lesson 1: the person you marry is the most important career decision you’ll ever make.
lesson 2: failure isn’t the opposite of success - it’s the tuition fee.
lesson 3: the first thought you have is often the truest. Trust it more.

lesson 5: do not let the internet tell you how hard you should or shouldn't work.
lesson 6: everything is figure-out-able if you’re willing to look stupid.
lesson 7: anger is often just fear in disguise.
lesson 8: your health is the foundation under every ambition. Without it, nothing stands.
lesson 9: if you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it deeply.

lesson 11: you become unstoppable the day embarrassment stops being a price you fear.
lesson 12: if it costs your peace, it’s too expensive.

lesson 14: growth feels a lot like loss at first.
lesson 15: if you can’t change it, change how you see it.
lesson 16: most timeframes and delays people give you are fake - it's just "how it's always been done". Your job is to push on them to see if they're made of concrete or paper.

lesson 18: your biggest opportunities will show up dressed as problems
lesson 19: the people who win are the ones who can suffer boredom.
lesson 20: success is rarely about doing more - it’s about deleting what doesn’t matter.

lesson 22: protecting your time is the highest form of self-care and self-respect.
lesson 23: fear shrinks when you move
toward it.
lesson 24: discipline is easier than regret
lesson 25: don’t just chase goals. Chase environments that make those goals inevitable.
lesson 26: mind your own business.
