Be Brave: the most important trait of entrepreneurs in business today is bravery. #mygrowthfund
It is no secret that #entrepreneurs face challenges day-in and day-out. There are those who ask what is considered as ‘valid’ questions, and there those that are too shy to ask those ‘invalid’ but relatable questions. These entrepreneurs were bold enough to ask the latter.
So dear entrepreneur, here is a simple question: Are you brave enough?
About Vusi
So let’s begin… Vusi is a disruptor.
At 25 he ran a R400mn division in a R17bn multi-national and today is widely regarded as one of the most disruptive forces in venture capital in Africa. He was amongst the youngest directors of a listed company in South Africa and now serves on several boards.
Currently, he is the CEO of a boutique investment & advisory firm in Africa. Leading by example, his firm forces medium, large and listed businesses into much needed, often painful, always lucrative new directions.
Having graced the covers of Entrepreneur Magazine, with features on Forbes and Inc500, his social media engagement often mirrors that of a Rockstar.
I’ve always known that VT is the smartest person in the world. These vidoes are just a confirmation. The ability to switch between industries and offer relevant advice is profound. And the analysis of the KZN population dynamics, on point.
I opened my mini restaurant in February this year (2019). I always watch your videos for inspiration. I’m going to own a bigger restaurant(s) very soon. I know. I started with a skill:)
hello, thats super inspiring, may we get an update on that
Imagine Euros Yes you will
Hey there, if you don’t mind sharing how did you do it as in what steps did you take to opening your mini restaurant. I’m Namibian and I also have plans to open my own restaurant someday..
Thank you very much for sharing these videos with us for free. We are really learning a lot not just from a business perspective but also from a personal view
“You have to unlock that internal dialogue! It will absolutely kill you.” After this line, I am done. I am stopping this buying an expensive car thing.
“Unlock the habits of where you want to go” is good sir ✊🏾
“You have to learn the habits of where you are and where you want to go not where you come from.” what a principle!!!!
Im really proud to be a SouthAafrican at this time because of you Mr Vusi, you are a true blessing.
I’m watching this 2 years after it was uploaded. And it’s still adding value. And I’ll find it again 2 years later should I need to. I love that
I have watched almost everything in this masterclass!! I must say I have learnt a lot and you Sir @Vusi Thembekwayo is a genius in this Entrepreneur thing..you really have mastered the mind. Thank you and I will see how you can come to Dar es Salaam Tanzania 🇹🇿
“You have to think about your personal page as an advertisement” That last comment alone is a social media strategy for anyone who has a business.
The word brave mean a lot in entrepreneurship, I wish my colleagues should’ve seen this coz I use to talk about this everytime we talked about business
I am a Malotana and I understand that double edged sword so well. Thank you for the honesty of this audience. So relevant so insightful and so uplifting!
I guess every country on African continent needs one of your kind, thanks Vusi!
“Learn the habits of where you are and where you want to go, not where you come from”…………Thank You!
bumped into this video by accident, frankly am happy i did…. definitely will follow your posts they have great insights. Thank you Vusi
This is a highly motivating video indeed
Although I agree that you can’t compete with big business on price for a product, I don’t think it follows for services businesses if they are able to demonstrate value
Sir I really feel that you help so many youth in my community
This guy !!! All I need to carry is his bag to know all in his plan and heads shift into my head
