What's the problem you are passionate about?
I woke up bright and early and did my morning ritual again. It has been 32 days since I started my revised morning routine again. When you build something from the ground up, you need to invest more time in the early stages and this book, “The 5 am Club, reminded me of the importance of balance and getting up early. Lots of planning, following up, and execution over the next few weeks. We are launching SYMBL CIC on 21 March and I am exhausted but buzzing with excitement. “Keep reminding yourself of the problem you are passionate about.” I fondly remembered my annual ‘Your Money Novice Entrepreneur Competition’ I hosted in New Brighton, a township in Nelson Mandela Bay in 2016. It was almost winter in South Africa, (which means 17degress by the way…) and on this day, we had nearly 2000 young people walking through those doors, eager to learn about starting their own businesses. We shared information on how to get it off the ground and then 10 young people could pitch on stage to our judges, (Dragon’s Den-style). The young man that won, cried as he ran on the stage. His mother is a cleaner, who worked three jobs to put him through school, many a night not eating so her growing son could eat. This is why SYMBL was created, to do the same work I did before, just a different name and new country, but the same vision and values. If you have the ability to inspire change around you, then it is your karmic duty to do so. “Be the change you seek,” Mahatma Gandhi.
