Why am I doing this and why am I saying from the depths of the Third World?
Well, I come from Zimbabwe - and some of you may know that we have recently experienced a total meltdown of our economy over the last few years. We were known as the breadbasket of southern Africa because we had a surplus of agricultural products which we exported to our neighboring countries and beyond. Now the people are starving, we no longer have a formal currency and informal business is the norm. Note - I am not here to discuss politics. I am here to share with you my WHY - it is a result of my upbringing on African soil and how it molded my mindset to adapt and modify to extremely harsh economic landscapes. I want to share my story and my passion for helping others obtain time and financial freedom using my basic principles even in difficult circumstances. I am not alone, and neither are you. If you are interested in protecting your wealth, creating more wealth, bitcoin and other crypto-currencies, stories of courage and bravery from an entrepreneurial perspective and how to achieve total time freedom - then this is for YOU!
Before I discuss the important topics of future wealth creation, I just want to take you back to my past. My first massive moment in the development of my mindset came when i was just 10 years old. I was in the car with my parents. They were discussing their financial situation and it somehow embedded itself deep into my mindset somehow. Unbeknownst to them and myself - it was like the equivalent of a world war going on in my brain and the good guys (forward thinking receptors) took charge of the battlefield from the bad guys (negative and downtrodden receptors).
So, my dad was a loyal hardworking crop manager for a massive corporate company. He started 15yrs earlier and worked his way quickly up the ranks to a senior management position. But he had hit the wall. By wall I mean the ranking limits of a corporate company. You see, corporate companies are pyramid scheme scams, whereby you, the worker start at the bottom and have to work your way up to the top. But here is the scam - you can never get to the top of these pyramid schemes. The top positions are reserved and protected by the owners, board of directors, CEO's, CFO's etc who have no intention of letting you in. You will work for them for 40 hours of the week, for 40 weeks of the year, for 40 years of your life and you will retire with only enough savings to last for 40% of your retirement. But digress... sorry I said i was passionate. My dad had hit the ceiling whereby he could not progress any higher up the ranking system. Ever. It was decision time! What followed was the trigger for me in my mindset. He resigned and was issued his package. Basically, after 15 years of working for the company he had only enough money to put us 3 kids through school for just one term (3 months). After 15 years!! It was at this point that I remember saying to myself - whats the point in getting a JOB, for what, to be a financial slave? I remember repeating it over and over in my head - never work for someone,NEVER WORK FOR SOMEONE. The fire of my entrepreneurial mindset was forged through the sparks of that conversation that my parents had in the car that day. Hold on, I need to phone them now and thank them.. I need to be thankful for the decision my dad made to fire his boss, his oppressors. What if he chose to remain their slave!! I cant even bear to imagine the thought, who would I have become if he hadn't quit his job...
(PS - if you want to find the definition of a BOSS, just write it down backwards)
I chose to study business management at school. When I was asked what do i want to become when I grow I stated "entrepreneur". Kids laughed. Whats that they asked. I studied Business Management and Marketing at Varsity College. I had made the decision to be my own boss and no-one could or can sway me. I ran my own construction firm in Mozambique after the land invasions rocked Zimbabwe. And by the age of 33, after 8 years of running a successful business in a foreign country with a foreign language, I lost it all. Lost the lot to a crooked scam by government officials and my accountant. Me and my little family of wife and 2 boys left Mozambique with just 2 bags of our clothes. Now what? Get a job they said. Get a stable income they said. You tried to run your business and failed they said. Come follow us said the sheep. I refused and set up a little business back in Zim- which also tanked within 2 years. Finally I succumbed and got a job back in Moz for 18months. Leave the family at home and work. Re-build the base, place the stepping stones in order and keep moving forward. People laughed and said look he has a job now. Others, friends and family, supported. All the while I was continuously trying to find my entrepreneurial sparks amongst the ashes of my destroyed soul. Come on you Phoenix, rise up from the ashes, RISE DAMN YOU!
Then the phone call came..
Yes this is it. The new world order of cryptocurrencies had arrived at my shores like a ship, ready to carry me back to my family. Something I can do in my own time.
