Recently I wrote about a young man who’d spoken with me about a financial issue he was faced with. I wrote about how teachable he seemed. This led me to believe his willingness to learn would result in him making the right decisions with his money. I don’t know much about money but I thought…
A young man contacted me this week about a financial conundrum he was facing. I think he’ll do just great and will make a real success of himself. My main reason for this strong belief: he seems teachable. As a young woman, in my early twenties, I was very ambitious and like most young people:…
As a kid my parents were very particular about who I hung out with. In my teens this became problematic as my parents reined me in, became overly protective and pretty much dictated who could and could not be my friends. I was resentful and felt so hard done by – but I was raised…
I’m currently reading about a young man, Tony Hsieh who at age 24 sold a company he co-founded for $265 million. At 34 he sold yet another company he’d co-founded for $1.2 BILLION! What I’m getting from his story, so far, is not that he’s ultra rich now or that he became a sterling success…
Someone recently asked me what this new found passion I’m pursuing was. Here’s the thing I can tell you and it won’t make one ounce of difference to your life. The issue is not what I’m doing with my life; it’s what you’re doing with yours. In my post The Pursuit of Wow I wrote…
What Father says about interracial marriage A young man who loves God contacted me a while ago and asked me about my marriage. He was white, Afrikaans and living in what was a predominantly conservative white community in South Africa. He was in love with a black woman. I cannot say what he wrote to…
This week I feel I made it big on a business deal I’ve been working on for months. I say “feel” because I’m not so sure if I won as big as I think I did. A more objective person could come along and say: “Oh boy Hannah – you got the short end of…
When I was fourteen I heard a sermon from Dr Myles Munroe that would forever change my life. And haunt me. As I sat among hundreds of people listening to this Bahamian preacher – I, for the first time heard about purpose. For the first time in all my fourteen years I was being told…
If you think this post is too long – you’re in trouble. I’m hungry for knowledge – famished even. I’ve been gobbling business literature as though my very life depends on it. Well my business does. My recent obsession and increased appetite for amassing as much knowledge as I possibly can came from the need…
So one of my brothers will probably hate me for saying this – but I’ll ask his forgiveness later. He’s been talking about writing a book I think South Africa desperately needs. It’s a simple, quite obvious, form of marketing which is why I think he’ll do so well with it. Problem – he’s still…
