When you discipline yourself, you're training yourself to act in a certain way. A way that will keep you on the path to achieve greatness. To achieve whatever it is you want and set your mind to!

Self-sabotage emanates from a negative mindset and can be very destructive. However, this is changeable and you can turn it around for the better!

So, you've decided to start your own business and registered a new company, congratulations on taking the dive! Here are a few thoughts on what you need to fulfill as part of tax compliance when it comes to your company's obligations.

When you really want something and are willing to do anything to get it, and you allow it to consume your mind such that everything you do you’re constantly searching for the solution, the path to it - the results are astonishing as you may just achieve that one thing you’ve been wanting. Become obsessed and chart your way.

Live in the moment and enjoy the current life you're living; the current experience because when it ends and you start a new one, you will think back and regret the simple fact that you didn't really put yourself out there to enjoy the experience!

Nothing exists in and of itself. We're all connected one way or the other in ways that are both visible and invisible to us.

Use the principle of honesty - to tell the truth at all times, even if it hurts and accountability - to have an action plan of the way forward no matter the situation. Together, these two will make you reliable, trustworthy and geared for success.

Find your why. Nothing else matters when you do!

There's a lot you'll get and discover purely by chance, but the game changes when you come to the realisation that you can make it happen if you want it to. Take a purposeful approach from today!

Nothing in life is permanent. EVERYTHING ends and when you realise this, you live every moment of your life to the fullest; spending time with the people that matter and doing things that are meaningful to you!

There's an inextricable link between fatherhood and leadership. The role of a father encompasses provision, discipline, protection, guidance, motivation and so much more. It's a role that can be taken by anyone else given the circumstances, but it's a critical leadership role!

I think it's just nature and we all will be in situations where we fail, and some situations where we succeed. But the ability to learn from the situations where we fall, to get up, dust ourselves and continue to fight is what sets us apart and that is the winning spirit!

Kaizen, continuous improvement. Change doesn't happen overnight, achieving your goals is not a sprint, it's a marathon. It takes time, and you have to be willing to work at it every single day. You have to believe in it, and that it is the right course of action for you, and continuously keep at it. It's the only way to achieve your success!

What you want in life, is a result of opportunities you create for yourself. Seeing opportunity from what seems like failure, because failure, is only a learning lesson to be and do better. Nothing happens if all you do is sit, pray and hope for a miracle. You have to go out and make it happen!

Variance analysis entails comparing the budget you set at the beginning, against the actual results - that is what you have achieved at the end of the period. You do this so you can measure the progress you’re making against the goals you set and make necessary changes to keep you on track.

Getting a handle over your emotions and learning how to use and rely on them in different circumstances is a skill that can get you ahead. Don’t be a slave to them, rather, become a master of your emotions.

Develop the resolve - choosing no other option and fighting for what you want and hone persistence - not taking no for an answer, because a yes is possible, even when it all seems bleak. All you have to do is find the right code, combination or key to unlock this yes.

Get out of your own head and viewpoint, to try and put yourself in another person’s shoes to see life and decision making from their angle to understand why they do what they do in the manner they do. You'll begin to realise that you can predict people's actions before they take them like a game of chess and you'll have invaluable insight to win them over.

Whilst money is a very significant resource, it is not the only one you need in business to get ahead and develop your strengths for success. Other resources, collectively called the 9Ms are integral in addition to money - management, make-up, manpower, management information, methods, markets, machinery and materials.

Learn confidence, trust yourself and use it to achieve your dreams and get you ahead. We spend too much time in self doubt, second guessing ourselves and thinking we’re not good enough, when we are good enough just as we are!
