          It’s 4:15 am here in Seoul, South Korea. I decide to take advantage of being jetlagged and go to the roof of my hotel to watch the sunrise. Before long I’m gazing on a magnificent view of silence. The city is still and the sky is active. A moment of clarity comes upon me for the next hour until the sun has fully risen. I think of Africa and all her people, her innovators, her dreamers, her business owners, her employees, her ambitions realised. As someone who is a business owner on a self-discovery journey, I would like to share with you 6 lessons my business has taught me over the years. I hope this will also help you on your journey.

          1) OBJECTIVE, STRATEGY AND TACTIC: It’s important to establish what you wish to achieve in the long, medium and short term. Set goals. An objective is the long term focus of ‘WHAT’ you want the business/yourself to achieve. The strategy answers the ‘How’ to achieve this in the medium term. The Tactic is the daily execution of the strategy.

          2) WORK SMART AND STAY FOCUSED: Stop competing with the rest of the world. Identify a market that you can penetrate and really make a difference. It’s by far better to be a head of a donkey than the backside of a lion. Once you’ve identified a market for your product/services stay focused on that. Too many young people start multiple businesses’ in a short period of time, without patience. Trust the method of time, stay focused on one thing at a time to harvest your craft.

          Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it.

          3) LEARN and be CURIOUS; Your intellectual curiosity is a natural gift from birth. It’s important to harness this to your professional career also. Learn to question your industry and identify what gaps there are. This could result in a great opportunity for yourself. Read books to develop and identify with mentors to learn. Lastly, chase the experience, salary is a very short term objective it comes and it goes, the experience will stay with you for life.

          4) CREATE A METHODOLOGY; Whether your profession is within sales, services or a product. It’s important to document what has worked and what hasn’t. A methodology is born from this rigorous process of trial and error. A good methodology is a process that’s repeatable, measurable and scalable. A great example of this is in the movie ‘Wolf of Wall Street’ where Leonardo DiCaprio’s character creates a sales pitch that he teaches to his team, this yields excellent results for his business.

          5) BE MINDFUL; Emotional Intelligence has never been more important than now. It’s a key attribute that sets apart great leaders vs good leaders. A mindful approach is being present and considerate with every interaction. Be a giver and provide a platform for others to prosper. A great team is the redundancy of individual recognition and the promotion of team achievement.

          6) YOUR PARTNER: Who you marry is the most important decision of your career. Your partner will provide incredible support for you to be successful.
