Selling Your Car Privately in South Africa? Don’t Skip This Step
Selling a vehicle privately can feel like a win… you’re getting a good price, negotiating directly, and avoiding dealership hassles. But there’s one crucial step that too many people overlook: having a proper sales agreement. Without it, you’re leaving yourself exposed to unnecessary risks. Think about it: someone buys your car, drives off, and later there’s a dispute about payment, damages, or ownership. Without a signed agreement, your options are limited and legal recourse can become complicated. A proper vehicle sales agreement does more than just document the sale. It: Many sellers think a simple hand written note or WhatsApp […]

Business Coaching… how is it different to Consulting or Advising?
The other day I was out at a meeting with someone and during the meeting I mentioned that business coaching is different to consulting and advising. They were quite surprised to hear this and they were very interested in finding out the difference… Their reaction made me realize that many people might not know the difference between coaching and consulting or between coaching and advising. In the next few paragraphs, my goal is to explain the difference between them and to help you understand the difference. Knowing the difference can also help you choose what would be right for you […]
Why I have to stop sharing links to Amazon…
Over the last few months I’ve tried to make some extra money through affiliate marketing by sharing ads to Amazon. This week I got an email I have been dreading and I now sadly need to stop. Affiliate marketing, I’m sure it’s something you’ve heard of before… Affiliate marketing is basically where you “partner” with a company and share links to their website or to their products and if someone buys as a result of your link, you will receive a small commission or a very small percentage of the sale. There are a bunch of companies around the world […]
What Instagram Account is Best For Me?
Should you use a Personal, Creator or Business Instagram Account? Personally and even before getting into any reasons I think you should use a Business Instagram Account. If the account is used for business purposes then I 100% believe that a Business Account must be used. The question about what kind of account to use is something I often come across. For me I would simply put it like this. If you are using your account only for personal stuff and if you don’t care about growing your account or getting more likes then stick to a personal account. If […]
I’ve Saved 1000’s By Buying Books Using This Simple Strategy
Books are expensive, but what if I told you there is a way to save a lot of money on books. Just this week I bought a book that was a whopping 63% off. I enjoy reading books.

Goodbye Facebook Page Likes
Facebook is apparently removing Likes from Facebook Pages, but what exactly does this mean? I’d heard this change and update was coming to Facebook and today I saw yet another article about it. If you use Facebook you know that when you visit a Business Page (not a personal profile), you have the option to “Like” the Page. By “liking” the Page, you will then be able to see some of the Pages content on your timeline similar to the way you see posts from your friends. Now this is where the change comes in. Facebook is removing this option. […]
My Bitcoin Journey (So Far)
For years I had heard a lot of people talk about Bitcoin but I never thought of buying any until fairly recently… On a Sunday in November last year (2020) we were at one of my cousins for lunch. At some time during the afternoon we started talking about Bitcoin. Nobody in the group had bought any yet but almost all of them had an opinion. Some believed Bitcoin was a good investment. They believed it was “cheap” and that it was a good time to get into it. But although they believed in it, they weren’t willing to buy […]
