Where we come from .

Where we come from there's only one definition of success.   Your successful when you own a car and a personal home. But life doesn't always work like that .  Each person should have his own definition of success.   To me success is constant cashflows with growth. That's what matters to me.  I can get R500k first thing I think about is how do I turn that R500k to R2 million or how can I make atleast R50k a month from that R500k.  I would not buy a personal home with R500k unless I already have consistent cashflows.  You can use the R500K to start a business that can make you R50k a month or R20k a month use that R20k to save up to build your house.  Think about it.

Typical examples of times when you might take the time to use creative thinking techniques include: When you are facing a major problem or issue , and you cannot see an obvious way forward. At times of change , when it is hard to see what might lie ahead, and you want to think about possible scenarios. When there is   a lot of disagreement  about what needs to happen next, and no compromise seems possible without a lot of effort. When you need something new , that hasn’t been tried before, but you are not sure wha...
