Sep 18th
As many of you who follow this blog know, i’m an avid reader of all things success & growth related. I am passionate about Entreprenuers who have changed the world, people like Richard Branson, Steve Jobs, Michael Dell, Larry Page & Sergey Brin among others. I study them, i try to emulate them, i definately want to make a positive impact on the world the way they have. But what is and entrepreneur exactly and why are there different types? I’m glad you ask.
What/Who is an Entrepreneur?The classic definition of an Entrepreneur is “a person who organizes and manages a business undertaking, assuming the risk for the sake of the profit.”
An Entrepreneur can be anyone of any age who has an idea and builds a business around that idea to provide a product or service to as many people as need it. They see a need and fill it. They are passionate about their idea, product or service. They are visionaries. They tend to see opportunity where others don’t and this often leads them to take risks that most people wouldn’t. The entrepreneur is at the heart and soul of progress, innovation and capitalism. Entrepreneurs create wealth and opportunity, not merely for themselves More >

Sep 15th
I was richly blessed by this. We often ask ourselves, Why can’t I ever be the one who succeeds, why can’t I ever be the one with great relationships, why can’t I be the one interviewed in African Woman… Well the great news is it can be you.

Celebrating one year of marriage and pondering the lessons learned.
Sep 7th
On September 5th, my wife and I celebrated our first year anniversary. It’s hard to believe that a whole year has actually past. It feels like only a few days ago that we were stressing over guest lists, decorations and insane parents. I still remember how things came to a head the day before the wedding and my then fiancé and I had a major blowout and didn’t speak till 2hours before the service. At the time, I wished doubted everything in my life except gravity but today we are so much stronger and better people than we were back then.
The bible in the Book of Deuteronomy 24:5, advises that recently married couples should take the first year off to learn to love one another. I cannot overstate how vital this can be towards a successful marriage in the long haul. I thank The Master that He has orchestrated events such that I have been able to enjoy several months uninterrupted by work or war to learn to love my wife. I wish I could have had a proper year but someone needs to put food on the table right?
