I am originally from South Africa, moved to New York in 1994. I am one of those people that arrived with a suitcase, a couple hundred dollars and a dream.
America has been good to me, and although I miss my home country, I am grateful for the opportunities that this country has afforded me, and wouldn’t want to live anywhere else.
I spent the bulk of my career in the corporate world. I was fortunate to be asked to assist and mobilize a few business-start ups shortly after I arrived to America. And the rest, as they say, is history.
I have handled every and all aspects of a growing business including branding, business plans, sales, sales training and management, marketing, scalable growth, hiring, training, operations, general management (and if I continue listing, you will start to get the frazzled feeling of my average day in the corporate world).
In my early career years, I was the one that did everything, I loved being busy, feeling productive, and the way the end of the day rushed up to meet the morning in a fleeting moment. But I quickly learned that a good business owner needs time to take frequent overview of the business, plan and grow it, rather than spending time being “busy”. I have always been a fan of delegation and automation. After all, why do it yourself if you can set up a system where it is taken care of by somebody else?
For me, the growth of the internet and virtual office systems is the answer. Whether it is a small brass-tacks company that has no website and difficulty using email, or a large online business with multiple virtual employees and affiliates, I can help you streamline, get tasks off your to-do list and organize.
I look forward to speaking with you. Feel free to contact me for more information or a free consultation.
