I’ve been dreaming about an SLK for many years now and the day I’ll be able to purchase my own is coming closer and closer. Especially after watching a film, The Secret. I started using some visualisation techniques like pasting a photo on my wall, and also making it my Desktop background photo. I missed out on a test drive two weeks when I was stupid enough to forget my drivers license at home š Well I’m going to do that test drive within the next few weeks. What’s amazing is how frequently I’ve been seeing one on the road. So its a fitting tribute that its the 10 year anniversary of the SLK.
Tom Leykis makes the following analogy: A man drives the most expensive (best) car he can afford. No boy dreams of driving a Toyota or Volkswagen growing up. Boys dream of Ferraris or Lamborghinis growing up. So in reality, boys do not grow up dreaming of the average girl. They dream about Playboy playmates or the young hot actress in the latest teen comedy. The same may apply to women. Read this article here.
Last night I came home from watching the movie Next. I was freezing, but off I walked to the mall from my car and back again after the movie. And only when I got home did I realise there were actual snowflakes falling and it was NOT rain. Anyway, here are some photos I took…
This was a quote on a poster always present in the office of Fox Mulder from the X-Files. The last X-Files season ended about a month or two ago in South Africa. Wanting to believe in something seems to be inherent in most of humanity. If you want to believe there is a God, whatever…
As I thought about what to write on my BLOG this week, I remembered a famous quotation by Winston Churchill, “Never give in–never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming…
For anybody who doesn’t know me I was raised by my mother in Uitenhage, South Africa – a small town near Port Elizabeth. Andrew Arries was friends with my grandparents, and later everyone just called him, Uncle. For as long as I can remember he lived with us, in the old house at the back…
It’s one of those Saturday nights where I’m feeling between the shadows and the soul, as Neruda once said. My final research report is due next week, so I can complete my Post Graduate Diploma in Information Management from the University of Johannesburg (old RAU). So I have to dig in and resist the temptation…
Chris Rock once explained the difference between being rich and being wealthy very succinctly. He said Shaquille O’Neal is rich, but the guy who signs his cheque is wealthy. When you are rich, you can lose all the money when you’re a big spender, live beyond your means or try to keep up with the…
So, what are your main income streams?
I mean, that car will set u back quite a bit every month!
If you would like to share.
My income streams are from creating value for people. Specifically I’m changing my business model from consulting into training and speaking so that I can leverage my secret weapon: my mouth š
Cool š
Yes, that’s definitely a nice weapon to have.
Have you always been a good speaker?
What does “creating value for people” mean?
I’d be willing to bet that you will soon be able to own your dream car. You would do great as a motivational speaker or spokesperson.
If you want to fast track your road to riches try starting up your own religion or politcal party!
Hey David
Creating value is an attitude of first giving someone something thy need that does one of the following three things:
When you do these three things you create value for your clients and others around you. And as you create more and more value people will provide you with bigger and bigger opportunities that can be directly or indirectly financial in nature.
I love your ideas regarding income streams, and that you’re able to use your skill to train people using your great lanuage skills. You deserve your success. I think I understand – don’t keep it a secret – if you’ve got it share the knowledge.
Oh, awesome!

Hey David
Creating value is an attitude of first giving someone something thy need that does one of the following three things:
1. Removing or Reducing Dangers
2. Capturing Opportunities
3. Reinforcing Strengths
When you do these three things you create value for your clients and others around you. And as you create more and more value people will provide you with bigger and bigger opportunities that can be directly or indirectly financial in nature.
