Read MoreA few months ago, I wrote about some wisdom my grandpa dispensed when I first started working. I’m ashamed to say I didn’t quite follow all the guidelines, and now 5 years later I will be seriously engaging with a SACCO.

Everytime I attend yet another local techies conference (as an impostor since I’m not a techie), I have high hopes that someone will present a revolutionary, well executed business concept.

Read MoreWe all want to be extraordinary in what we do, but the fact of the matter is few will be truly legendary. There’s a price to pay for excellence, sacrifices to be made,pain to be borne, blood sweat and tears. My favourite writer Sunny Bindra looks at Michael Jackson’s work ethic and his pursuit for excellence as screened in the movie This Is It. Enjoy!
