Crisis!



South Africa is in crisis and no matter how ignorant you are, you know that we are in chaos.First we are still dealing with power failure which costs us a lot of production time and we are losing money. 

Now as small businesses we struggle to make ends meet due to not having an alternative source of power we find it hard to run and make money.
The sad reality is that this will be going on for some time.

This is a national problem minding the technical recession we are in.
But we need to persist and be innovative on how we go about finding alternative power.

 How do we maintain business in such hard times?

And just as we are recovering from load-shedding.
We are told of Corona virus.
This pandemic is freaking us out and people are told to stay at home but how realistic is that.?
It is day 2 of not going anywhere but I have had enough. Business has not opened in the past two days and I am feeling the load already.

Like what are we supposed to be doing? 
Some businesses are dependent on customer contact, how now do we  work?.

Our health is at risk and honestly I feel like not much information is given to us expect that we wash our hands.

It is a burden to us to then educate ourselves and keep safe for the well being of our businesses.

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.

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...

Burning Out

  I would like to engage on what I am going through and this is something that I am currently struggling with. This is a big contributor to my tiredness and counter productiveness.   As a young person who is passionate about change and working hard I have a problem of saying yes to every exciting new project, forgetting that I actually have work to do but I always tell myself that I will balance. There is a problem with wanting to be part of every vehicle that is moving in the name of change and business opportunities. I tend to find myself in the cross fire as I am needed to be in many places at once. I would make an example of what happened this weekend. I happen to be part of a board of directors of a certain organisation and we had to meet and perform certain tasks but I had clients I had to attend, this then made me to be 3 hours late for the meeting with the board, imagine an entire director late by 3 hours? This made me incompetent and there was no way I could not att...
