Bizwave - the Recipe to Owning Your Future
“The RECIPE – OWNING THE FUTURE”
From “www.bizwave.co.za”
“I started with a bank overdraft, literally with no job and had to create my own future. No one else wanted to do it for me! In the process, I created a number of businesses, sold most of them with handsome profits, lost a bit of money on one and even “killed” a good one deliberately (Yes, I really did. Morally it was the right thing to do). Today I am the CEO of Bizwave (Pty) Ltd, a company started with multi million Rand start-up capital, living my dream and also, most importantly, owning my own future. “ – Gert M Bosman 2008
“The new millennium will not belong to the conglomerates or global institutions alone. It will belong to entrepreneurs - individuals who have the courage to dream and develop compelling visions - individuals who can see opportunity and match it to an idea - who can ultimately turn their dreams into reality.” – Janssen Davies (CEO, SAGE life)
When I first read the above paragraph, I froze, literally. I did not move. I don’t think I could move. Something struck me - and I did not even know what. I just sat there... my mind in a frozen state. For how long I don’t remember. It might have been a few minutes, a few seconds. I don’t know. Then slowly a little heat started creeping in and my mind thawed. The paragraph, is how Janssen Davies, the then CEO of SAGE Life, used to open his article on a need for an entrepreneurial revolution. Yes, it is a great paragraph, but really, it is not that great, or is it? Something compelled me to read it, read it again and again. I sat there and read the paragraph more than twenty times, and since then, perhaps more than hundred times – each time slowly – and it has not lost its magic for me. One paragraph, a new future. He tried to tell me something, but I was not sure what. I’m a bit of a slow thinker and it took me a while – and then I got it!
Janssen Davies gave me the recipe to own my own future – in one single paragraph. He wrote it for me. I knew I was the person he wrote it for. At least that was how it felt at the time. A simple recipe, one that I understood. He gave me the recipe to own my own future in a few simple steps.
That was quite a while ago!Over the last few years, “the recipe” really worked overtime for me! I refined and expanded it to reflect my own experiences and the results of quite a bit of research I performed. Today, I know that everyone has the ability to spot opportunities almost “on demand” and turn the best ones into reality....to create, build and own your own future.
Over the next few weeks, I will share the recipe with you. Step by step. In the meantime, register on www.bizwave.co.za (it is free) and see how the members are creating their own futures.
