Black magic vs innovation


Magic or innovation?

As most rural areas are occupied by black people it's inevitable that the use of black magic is there.
 In today's  Article we will be looking at black magic and innovation.

 Recently I have read an article on daily Sun News paper about how people can call " mama Nathe" to boost their businesses or receive some miracle money. It is also believed  that one can have a snake that will sustain the business provided some sacrifices are made to it. The purpose of this is to make money and sustain the business.

How does  these practices  take black businesses to making millions in revenue annually? How do they add value to the customers? How do they contribute to  the African economy?

Maybe this explains why most companies from the rural areas never make it to the JSE listing. Maybe that's why we never expand to other provinces.

Now innovation is  to make - changes in something established, especially by introducing new methods, ideas, or products

I mean how are we introducing new methods,ideas or products?.
 The economy needs radical innovation and disruption. We need to rethink the things we do and do them differently. We are the future but we don't need sacrifices to sustain the future, the future must sustain its self.

The supplier ran out of business and it was difficult to even find another supplier nearby. A supplier can increase prices meaning you also have to increase your prices. This seems simple but it tends to be difficult to maintain one’s clientele in such a situation.   This problem of suppliers come with the risk of running a business, one must always be on the look...

Physical efforts

Taking care of your health. When you are in business you are taking care of alot of things and people. One must be both mentally and physically fit to exercise such responsibility. Reading is an exercise for the mind and working out or running is for the body. Business is about trust and how do you trust someone who looks like they are about to give birth? That is unhealthy. Heath concerns me alot and people need to educate themselves about the kind of food they need to eat. A healthy individual will run a healthy business. Physically appearance is everything especially in the service sector. Therefore, be neat, healthy and fit. Exercising for an hour a day will make a whole difference in your life and your business. Develop that mind
