South Africa is ripe for multiple sources of income, especially for the youth..

The most beautiful thing about being an entrepreneur is that you get to write your own paycheck. Obviously there is risk involved in this, but its very liberating being able to determine your own income and the source thereof.
Having a job is great because your income is fixed and mostly certain month after month. Working for a bank I never missed a paycheck in 7 years and it came in on time all the time. However, it just never felt like it was enough because every year all I had to look forward to was the bonus in August and that was it.
Being able to write my own paycheck however is one of the most empowering actions I have ever taken. The freedom that comes in being able to pull from different sources using different products/companies/services is liberating. I cannot imagine having to look at just one place for sustenance.
I credit this desire to all those days spent either selling groceries at a tuck shop, vegetables in the back of a bakkie, fresh produce on a farm, sweets in class, plowing services on a tractor etc. My mind was just programmed at an early age to pull from multiple sources of income.
Today I look at the world at large and I know for sure that ill be able to source from all its continents and islands in some shape or form. I believe that I was born just at the right time and in the right place for establishing wealth which I can actually transfer to my children's children.
Technology has made it possible to start almost any business with the least amount of startup resources required. One needs to be brave and dream big and then take the necessary action to turn the dream into a vision and the vision into reality. My reality is www.trexscan.co.za. Proudly South African and 18 months in the making and already selling beyond South Africa.
I encourage all young people to expand their outlook on the concept of productivity and look beyond just getting a 9 to 5. The truth is that there is just not enough jobs out there for everyone right now. However, there are alternatives available right here in South Africa that are being overlooked daily. There are so many businesses that need to be founded and most of them are waiting for young people to spring in action and start building.

Seek Ye First

Good Morning Fellow Kingdom Citizens, Today is the 8th of August, 2018 at 7:20 AM South African time. I must confess, it is a beautiful day and time to be alive. I woke up this morning at 5:30 AM  feeling blessed and glad to be alive. I had a dream that I met one of my spiritual fathers, Dr Myles Munroe. Dr. Munroe is late, but his work in the Kingdom of Heaven has left a lasting impact on myself and the lives of many other fellow Kingdom Citizens. In my dream I met Dr. Munroe for the 1st time. Sadly I have never met him in person though. In the dream he introduced me to his son Chairo Munroe, whom I believe I ought to reach out to when the time is right. On my drive to work this morning, I thought of something. Facing Adversity! I remembered a dark time in my life before accepting Salvation. A time just after my mothers passing in 2010, when alcohol had become my source of comfort. It was a dark time then and I confess that I was self destructing and had no spiritual grounding.

The importance in creating a unique value proposition through product positioning in order to create lasting appeal!

Everyday somewhere in the world the sun is trying to sell sunlight to a flower. Mostly the flower does not resist because it knows in full the value of sunlight. There is no doubt in the DNA of the flower that the staff which comes with those rays of sunlight is essential for its survival. In this context the sun is offering value through a product called sunlight that is critical in some place other than the sun itself. It just happens to be that that place is here on planet earth with so many willing and eager prospects. The sun, though so many miles away is well positioned to offer a product that is firstly unique and secondly highly in demand. The sun competes daily to produce and deliver its product and its very clear that its highly effective in doing this. The maker of the sun clearly took some time in uniquely creating the sun after taking into account all the variables that need to be satisfied in order for the sun to have a unique value proposition with lasting appeal espe

How to cope with doubt and worry in the productive process

How can you respect and regard a man who presents something to you which is not the best that he has to offer? And I mean the best which he has to offer in that category of offering. If I am offering you fruit, I must give you the best fruit available to me. At least the best in that category of fruit which I have to offer. Anything less is unacceptable. Our biggest problem is that there is doubt and worry in the production process, whether it be for fruit or anything else we fancy to produce, so much so that the fruit ends up compromised and unworthy. You see where there is doubt and worry there is bound to be compromise. Compromise takes the purity away from the production process. You must learn to look at the production process and accept it for what it is including your own abilities and inabilities. Praise and worship take the doubt and worry away from the production process. By praising and worshiping we transfer the responsibility for the things about which we doubt and w
