I took the week off to regain perspective on our Dream BIG project. Most times when we start something there’s a huge surge of energy. We’re excited. We can’t wait. We’re positive. There are no limits. We are certain of success. We’re committed. We throw ourselves wholeheartedly into it… but that’s usually at the beginning….
My husband can’t stand Josh Groban. And yet little does he know that Josh is probably the only person alive who’s come close to describing what my husband’s love means to me. And how it inspires and empowers me. There is something so… oh gosh what are the right words?… Mmmmm- there’s something so… spectacular…
This morning I sent a few requests to potential guests for our Dream BIG TV Show. They are individuals you probably haven’t seen on TV or heard on the radio- There aren’t plaques placed any where in their honour, no schools or roads named after them and yet their work is making a difference. It’s…
I like Dreamers. They’re the guys who create really cool stuff. Like the Eiffel Tower, Lord of the Rings, The Internet, awesome cars, Disney World, Chocolate Ganache Cake, Toothpicks, movies and music, Toilet Paper, the iPhone, Google, Facebook, Amazon’s Cloud service (which btw was created by South Africans)… Rockets and gadgets that have allowed us…
It was a worldwide public humiliation… Here was South Africa, the richest and most developed country on the continent, home to (perhaps) the best rugby team on the planet, land to first world infrastructure and the best constitution in the world, home to one of the greatest leaders of our time Mr Nelson Mandela- and there…
Dreams are a big part of why I’m still here. What carried me through many challenges was knowing that there would come a time my life would get better. There were many, many, times I wanted to give up. There were many times when it was hard getting up in the morning because I didn’t…
I was quite happy to find out that I was not the only person to suffer from bouts of envy from time to time. When I realised I could get embarrassingly envious at times – I was quite surprised at myself- mostly because I, simply put, love my life. One day as a heavy cloud…
Who are you? This is not a philosophical question that requires you to look to the ceiling, ponder and then come up with some deep philosophical response… I mean what value do you bring to the table in the business arena? Your Profile If you’re in business (even if as an employee) you need to…
We put barriers up sometimes because love hurts. Doesn’t it? I grew up in a culture where for the most part, women were treated like crap. Most of the women I grew up around were beaten by their men, cheated on and treated more like items to be owned than human beings with hearts, souls…
A few years ago (we won’t say how many) I married a guy whose presence made me feel everything would be alright. There have been times (many times) I’ve wondered whether I’d made the right decision and whether I’d married the “right” guy. I think, if most of us are honest, this thought crosses our…
