018 Risking It | My views on Entrepreneurship & Small Business Owners/Self Employed People

Hi there fellow aspiring Entrepreneur  

Thank you for viewing/listening to my content.  In this episode, I discuss entrepreneurship and the difference between entrepreneurs and small business owners or self-employed people. They are similar yet different. I have always aspired to become an entrepreneur and feel deep in my bones I am one (in the making). I am building, hustling, and grinding to build a business that can flourish without my presence. If that is something you are aspiring to as well, please consider following me on this journey, and hopefully, we can connect :)

017 Risking It | The One Lesson That 2020 Taught Me

017 Risking It | The One Lesson That 2020 Taught Me

Hey Entrepreneur!

In this Mini Episode, I share what 2020 taught me. It was a crazy year filled with happiness,saddness and turbulence. But, we made it! We are here at the end and ready to make 2021 better. 

My biggest lesson in 2020 is -->>  'if you don't use your time, you will quickly come up with excuses'. <

You might be thinking, "of course Stephandre, isn't it obvious?", 

My questions would then be - How does your schedule look? How much do you value your time? 

If you think about the most successful people and entrepreneurs in the world, they won't even give you 5 min of their time. Why? Because it's valuable to them. That's my goal for 2021, to put more value on my time, something I can never get back.

014 Risking It | Trading for Freedom or Money?

In this episode, I discuss the idea of trading for freedom or for money. What challenges traders face and how difficult this profession really is. I have been trading the financial markets for a decade, and let me tell you it's like Golf. There are periods that you can hit a Hole in One and really win big, and then periods can hit where you really struggle to trade and lose a lot of money.

Run - Down 

1.Create a Budget  

If you are in South Africa, I recommend 22 seven from Old Mutual. It's a great App filled with amazing features and it's very easy to use.  Link - https://www.22seven.com/ 


2. Become Disciplined   

There is no app that I can think of that will take away the responsibility of becoming disciplined. I suggest you start off small and work yourself to the point that you don't break the rules.   

Remember   

– The budget is the rules   

– Discipline is the game   

3. Save up Cash   

This is the one that will probably take the most time but it will be worth it at the end.   

4. Invest Wisely   

This step isn't an 'open a book today - know everything tomorrow' type of step. This will take time, energy and dedication but at the end of the day, no one can take away your knowledge of investments over a period of time.
