I started the day with a quote from Howard Shultz. "I want to inspire people to pursue their dreams. I come from common roots with no silver spoon, no pedigree, no early mentors. I dared to dream big dreams, and then willed them to happen"
Howard Shultz - CEO of Starbucks in his book 'Pour your heart into it'
Today I poured my heart into it. And tomorrow I'll wake up early, go to gym and pour my heart into it again. Thought about my economic engine. Working for Shell, nothing was about money. It was about influence, networking, hard work (sometimes), and being seen by the right people at the right time. Now it's all about money. Hard and fast, you eat what you kill. So my engine long term is equity in tens of businesses. My engine short term is find a turn around CEO/GM position to cut my teeth on preferably one that I buy, but alternatively potential leads are Mazars, E&Y, PWC and Mr Moskovitz. Will send my CV to all four tomorrow. Next prize is 2 to 3 days/ week on average of consulting. Have a meeting friday with &Samhoud, who want to open an office in JHB. A prompting was also to contact Glen who wanted to start a business in RSA. All good leads will report back.
Gold mines are also looking good. I need to get in front of high nett worth individuals with the gold mine deal. It's what howard Shultz did with Starbucks, and they believed him. Persevere, it will come through. If God be for us, who can be against us?
