“START and Network… People today say “Tomorrow” or even “I don’t know what to do”… that was me. We are not taught HOW TO SELL or Manage money and the importance of cash flow. Start small and with your immediate family. Get your kids to sell and barter, teach them negotiation skills and contract management. Write these things in the context of your home and teach them the importance of money and how to respect it! One of the most important skills that is needed as a business owner, is networking… there is no way you can grow a business just using technology, there has to be a brand, a story or a message that we need to communicate. It is easier to close a deal if you connect with people so teach your kids to be people’s people, kind, humble and never boastful” Faheema Mahomed

Once you playing ball have fun. And it’s all about learning. Learning what works and what doesn’t. So be open to changing your dream a bit if the original plan doesn’t work out. Take breaks when things get too much. Research has been invaluable to me. Also learn and don’t be afraid to ask for help. Ask questions. Ask people for advice.
