Dealing with Mental Barriers to Business Success
The mind is a fascinating concept. The mind, quite separate from the brain - is the environment of the sub conscious. That place where beliefs, thoughts, dreams, passions and fear reside. Our minds determine how far high we fly in life and in retrospect, how far low we can plunge. What mental barriers feed into our nature of self-sabotage and in turn affect our business success ? How do we overcome these barriers ? In this interview with Metropol TV, I sit down with Elijah Si

Why True Business Success Is Elusive
If there are aspects of life that have fascinated me, these are the areas of business, entrepreneurship, mindset, success (whatever that is) and the general human quest for passion and purpose in life. Why are we here? What makes me feel alive? What makes me feel whole? Can I have it all? How do I get out of my comfort zone and do that which I fully love and am called to do? Is there more to life than just paying the bills? These questions have led me to reading tonnes of lit

12 Ways to Remain Focused In 2021
2021 The last time a year was as closely anticipated for was the 1999 to 2000 cross-over. When we honestly believed our cars would fly, honestly believed moon travel en masse would be in vogue, brain chips would be available around the corner, aliens may finally make open contact and talking robots would be our personal home servants. The Spielberg year! Fast forward to 20 years later, 2020/2021 and a lot of that stuff has come to pass, though not in the highly glamourized wa

The Inception of Things
In 2010 acclaimed film director Christopher Nolan shared with us one of the most trippy and fantastic movies to hit the big screen in a long time: Inception. The movie is about a thief, Dom Cobb ( played by Leonardo DiCaprio) with the rare ability to enter people's dreams (yes, weird) and steal their secrets from their subconscious. His skill leads him down the manipulative and shaky path of planting ideas in people's minds and as the movie progresses, the viewer cannot tell

2020, Human Zombies, Dopamine and You
Whether you are in business, an entrepreneur, investor, self-employed, employed or a smattering of each, one thing we all have in common is the consensus that 2020 to date has been quite the year. I honestly cannot remember the last time there was such a globally shared sense of dread, uncertainty, fear, hope, connectiveness and then back again to dread, in such synchronicity. Perhaps these shared feelings and how we respond to global threats, perceived or real – are further

PART 4
This article is the final installment in the 30 Habits of Wantrepreneurs series. Today I shall cover the last 15 habits that the wannabepreneur holds onto for his or her dear life. A true sad state of affairs if there ever was one, really. Because it is one thing to pretend to be what you are not, and quite another when you are totally convinced that you are something that you otherwise are not. If you're late to the party to the party you can catch the other articles here: P

PART 3: 30 Habits of Wantrepreneurs
To date we have covered 10 of the 30 habits of wantrepreneurs. The impact of the last 2 articles across social media have surprised me. See, a number of wantrepreneurs (surprise, surprise) have reached out to me privately thanking me for the articles, saying how much the habits have been a wake up call to them, vowing they will be in touch and on their part, committing to start taking massive action and get up from their wannabepreneur stupor......but in true wantrepreneur pr

PART 2: 30 Habits of Wantrepreneurs
Previously I talked about the wantrepreneur, wannabepreneur or what I slyly refer to as the corporate entrepreneur: that person in business that looks the part of the entrepreneur and seems to have all the trappings that the conventional entrepreneur is deemed to have but beneath the surface is struggling with the reality of the entrepreneurial calling, no fault of their own. We last looked at 5 of the 30 habits wantrepreneurs exhibit. Today we look at the next 5 habits. The

30 Habits of Wantrepreneurs
I get pleasantly surprised when I scour the internet and observe people responding to cabin fever and isolation by engaging in meaningful self-developing activity, then posting it online : singing, dancing, cooking, baking, cleaning, farming, working out, writing, acting, drawing, miming and on and on. What social media has truly demonstrated to us in the face of a global crisis, beyond a shady of doubt - is that we are a multi-talented and gifted species, capable of doing al
