Durban Business Fair

The 15th annual Durban Business Fair was a major success. This has shown the number of young entrepreneurs participating in almost all business aspects. Fashion and a bit of technology is where most of them are focusing. Now I have interviewed a lot of these youth entrepreneurs and most of them are start up businesses still working at home and some just moved to new  business location. The majority of these entrepreneurs only have an email or a social account to advertise themselves on the Internet. This shows a large gap in participating on the global field. The jewel makers and fashion designers have products that can possibly sell on the international market.

I believe a lot of contracts were discussed during this fair and we will certainly see partnerships spring out from these discussions. The future looks a bit bright with more and more events like these. I already hear people talking about investing in some of the talent they saw from the fair which is what these event was meant to do! There was more than 500 stands available at the fair with business of all kinds done.

Those who where there certainly enjoyed. Those who were not there missed out!


       

Time for change! Mouth shut eyes and ears wide open

We are considered the leaders of the African economy! Truthfully speaking our economy is under the tight clinched fist of the white minority which resides in this country. We are not going to go into how they managed to get all that wealth we all know and it's a bit disturbing if you really think about. I hear talks all over the news about economic freedom back to the people of this land. How will this economy be transferred to the hands of its original people. Clearly we will not risk the change of policies in this country just our neighbor Zimbabwe. Apart from being sanctioned we risk the the possibility of war with the overseas countries who think they have invested in this land. South Africa still has a bit of milk under its titties for these countries to drink.

We are entering the 20th year of our democracy next year! Facing a huge amount of unemployment and poverty still resides amongst our people. The challenge in not with the government, the challenge is with the people of this country.

We are challenged to change the face of  this economy. The way we can change this economy and take back what is rightfully ours is by opening up large global businesses that will compete with these businesses that have the power. The people of this country are to open up banks, mining companies, service provider companies and simply any business that is large enough to compete on a global scale.
I urge the youth of this country to take up these thoughts and not be scared of the big bad wolf. Business is business and can change the face of our country.

We have been under a white ruler for almost 500 years now, how many more years do we want. They say nature has a way of repairing itself and this is one of natures bandages. Our elders and leaders have fought this far now its up to this generation to do what needs to be done.

Better Life (What can you do)

First thing you have to think about is your current financial situation. That is a worry that most people. You being young, you have to ask yourself what can you do in order to better your standard in this so called hard
life.I believe life is not hard, the choices we make as people make our life's hard.

People fail even before they even start with an idea they have that might have taken them beyond to the next level. One of the most important aspect you have to take care of is your education. Not just formal education that you get in school but real self education that will elevate you to the next level of consciousness. You spiritual background is one of the most important aspects that you will have to deal with.
I see people on a daily basis who have no clue on what they want in life. If you ask what do you want out of life most will say money which is the common answer.

The young generation are the one's who have to be extra careful about choices they make. With the advancement of this technology I am able to talk to you where ever you are. There is so much good information in front of our eyes it almost seem like secrets.
     

Message to the youth

Can you compete with the rest of the world when coming to the economic show down.
Our country needs more young entrepreneurs, young politicians, young science and technology boys and girls, maths teachers who know how to use the Internet, and many more. Entrepreneurs have a much better chance of achievement than they had 30 years ago. Simply because information is at their disposal. Human beings are always in search of freedom. So if you work in a job that you don't like then you simply not free.
You may have a lot of money, if you are not free spiritually then you still have a problem.

The young generation have a better chance of talking risks than adult generation. The choice you take as young has to  be a wise choice cause that will be with you for the rest of your life. The doors of haven have just open. The road cleared for that brave souls with courage of sea waves. The choice is simply in your reach. The is not much difference between a 40 year old and a 50 year old, the is a big difference between a 20 year old and a 30 years old.

Do we have to be careful with our choice? yes since they will be with us for the rest of our lives. Time lost can never be regained. Take a risk and start a business or if you are already in business don't give up now. We have just started. The bag of goodies have just been opened. Reach out you hand and take a risk!
