The future of employment.

Everyone in business is having a hard time dealing with the disruption and innovation brought forth by the forth industrial revolution.

This means one has to be ahead of every one. This move can benefitial for companies as they will be cutting costs from the the redundancy of human labour.

More work will be done in less time as well as at a lower cost . But if we look at the other hand. The labours are left hanging because their skills are no longer in demand.

How then is the government going to convince us that the people will get employment.? In the SONA 2019, President C Ramaphosa promised millions of jobs to South Africans, but what kind of employment was he refering to if he didn't even touch on small businesses?

What does this mean for the businesses in the rural areas?
It means they must educate themselves about this 4IR and how it will benefit and impact their traditional ways of doing business. We can fool ourselves about creating more jobs but I tell you this is nothing but a bad joke.

The solution is learning how we can use technology to solve the problems we are faced with in our communities.

We need to bury the mentality of having to be employed and start with innovation.

Woe unto those who are lazy and never want to be out of their comfort zone.
Develop that Mind.

Understanding Financial Reports: A Guide for Business Owners

Financial reporting is a fundamental aspect of any business, large or small. It involves the creation and presentation of financial data that reflects the company's financial health, performance, and economic standing. While many people are familiar with the term “financial statements,” financial reporting encompasses more than just the end-of-year profit and loss figures. What is Financial Reporting? At its core, financial reporting is the process of compiling and presenting financial data to provide a clear picture of a company’s operations and financial status. It includes a wide range of reports such as balance sheets, income statements, cash flow statements, and more. These reports help business leaders, investors, and other stakeholders make informed decisions about the company’s future. However, it’s important to note that financial reporting isn't just about creating these formal documents. It also involves ongoing tracking and recording of financial transactions to en...

Lets get started.

Getting started again. So since we said we are starting afresh, where do we start exactly? My number one problem and I believe it is for most people is money. We may have ideas on how to get started but the money we make in business can only cover certain things. What do we need then? More and more money? I don’t think so. We need to establish a relationship with money, we need to understand it and have discipline to keep it, because it is more about keeping it than making it. But first we need to learn how to make it because we can’t keep what we don’t have. I have come across a social Media platform where one can connect with other entrepreneurs and market their business. The interesting thing about this platform particularly is that whenever you use it, you get credits points which can be redeemable for Cash. This alone for me is worthy of all our attention. Basically we get paid to be on the platform. But now one can ask what this has to do with busine...

Target Market.

Appealing to the target market. In the past week I have took it upon myself to understand my target market. I reached out to them and talked to them about how they would want to buy my products and to my surprise I got answers I was not even thinking about. Then I realised that we entrepreneurs have a fancy way of saying who our targets are and how we will reach them but these ways are not really appealing to our targets. We have these strategies we want to implement but not appealing to the market. So I thought that I had it all figured out as to how I will market my business only to find that it doesn't work. So I had to reset, rethink and restructure everything. And again I have to constantly communicate with my targets if how I am doing suites their preference. So for this week I challenge you to REALLY look at your target and if your strategies are working. Innovate and add value.
