When did you commence with your book and what inspired you to write the book? "I started the book a while ago, as I grew up in disadvantage backgrounds it always crossed my mind that all the obstacles that I went through during my childhood will never stop me from being great, because from a very young age I always believed that one is capable of whatever they put their mind on in this life. So basically, I got inspired by life challenges though some were rough and was not always easy but within me I knew I had a strong fighting spirit to challenge life every day, and those life experiences led to my book”.
As an author – what can you say it’s the most challenging thing when writing a book? “Being an author comes with its own difficulties, especially when you are determined to inspire and change a reader’s mindset. But mostly, it’s sticking to your opinion with hope to answer/solve readers personal issues, other than that being an author is really a great skill that assists the author to exercise their thinking all the time”.
Briefly share the title of your book and a short brief about what the book is about? "My book titled Future Billionaire “Self-Made Entrepreneur” teaches about financial literacy and it also assists in developing human mindset, everyone can read it. This is one of those books that is so empowering, more special if one aims high and looking for internal and financial growth”.
You also have your own perfume – briefly share its name, why perfume of all businesses and price? “Yes, at the beginning of 2021 during COVID19 I managed to have my own perfume called Future Billionaire Phindilicious Smelling. I have chosen the perfume business, because it’s global, profitable and expanding my business network unlike Future Billionaire Clothing. Next year our perfumes will be available in stores, but for now we sell it online for R250”.
Lastly, When not busy with your entrepreneurship life, what do you do to keep sane? “I usually visit orphanage home playing games with kids. Sharing love with them it’s one of the precious things that I enjoy the most”.
