grew up poor.
A slum in Rugby, Cape Town. apartheid-era South Africa. one of an estimated 400,000 poor whites ; a statistic most people don't know exists.
no safety net. no family money. just the belief that building something was the only way out.
This is my story

Take life easily, lovingly, playfully, non-seriously. Seriousness is a disease, the greatest disease of the soul and playfulness the greatest health

Dear me
I know your scared
You feel old
And you feel like
maybe it’s too late
for one more time
in the arena
But you can handle this
You don’t come unarmed
Love
Me

I moved to London with 5 maxed-out credit cards and ~£1,000 to my name.
My plan wasn't to make money.
It was to get my money back FAST.
That's when I learned the secret to scaling:
The best businesses don't use their own money to grow.
They use customer money.

Customer #1 pays for Customer #2.
Customer #2 pays for Customer #3.
That's how you build a money machine.
You pay back the credit card and have money to live
Over and over and over
That’s how I bootstrapped
That’s how I could afford to move from South Africa 🇿🇦 to the UK 🇬🇧

1/ I hear this all the time:
“I have this business. It’s working. BUT I don’t think it’s scalable.”
Most of the time, that’s not what people actually mean.
HERE IS WHAT THEY ARE REALLY SAYING

And if I don’t help
You !
I’ll refund you 💯
So far I’ve got a 10/10 score
But I’m human so if you don’t feel you got value.
I’ll refund you
It’s that simple.
My goal is just to give back as much as I can while I can
Nothing more

Love jumping on calls and helping remind people what needs to be done and get done
Was great to jump in @podfestexpo last night and do that .. so many great people

Being disliked or hated by idiots
Is the price
We pay
For not being
Them

Scared sh*tless for next chapter of my working life but been reminding myself of my favourite quote and one that I’ve based my whole life on ( 1 of 3 )
Sharing it here in the hopes that maybe it can help you be courageous when you ( like me) are scared that maybe it’s too late

I hope you make the best of it.
And I hope you see things that startle you.
I hope you feel things you never felt before.
I hope you meet people with a different point of view.
I hope you live a life you’re proud of.
