Dan Sullivan, discusses advantages of iPad

Small business coach, Dan Sullivan, says how the iPad can help an entrepreneur's business. The Applei iPad sales are about 10 times that of the 2nd runner up and the stats all back this up. So it's a very good time now to begin developing content for the iPad instead of other platforms. Read More →

Toyota crisis shakes hometown, and Japan Inc. too

As a driver of a Toyata car this news is sad indeed... By Kimiko de Freytas-Tamura (AFP) There is a saying in Toyota's hometown that when the auto giant sneezes, the whole city falls ill. But the symptoms of its recall crisis look set to be felt far beyond "Japan's Detroit".

The name -- Toyota City -- speaks for itself. But the group's influence extends well beyond Read More →

FNB CEO Michael Jordaan’s open letter published in Beeld

This seems to have been a good idea in principal. It's a pity Michael Jordaan does not have the spine to resist the pressure from trade union Solidarity or white staff. My own experience with FNB since the age of 5 years old has been mostly good. That was until I started my own business in 2004 and that's when the shocking truth of how banks see entrepreneurs in South Africa began to emerge. They are all part of a global cabal who has nothing better to do that charge high interest, ridiculously high banking fees for Read More →

Some advice to a would-be Inzalo share scheme subscriber from a Riaz Gardee. Riaz Gardee 11 Jun 2008 Dear Aunty Kay, You seemed to be very interested in the Sasol Inzalo BEE offer during our last visit and mentioned that you had read very little about it in the press.

Calling for a Business Blogging Conference in South Africa

Early in September I was a speaker at the 2nd Digital Citizens Indaba. Last year this conference was immensily valuable to me because it presented an opportunity to meet many of my fellow bloggers from across the African content. This year for me I realised the greater need to teach people how to use blogging to generate income. In 2006 I spent many, many hours discussing this with Emeka Okafor, before he was selected by TED to host the first TEDAfrica conference, which may turn out to become an annual conference. So this year I spoke with Read More →
