Think Entrepreneurially, Succeed Universally – I am dedicated to making entrepreneurial thinking accessible to everyone. Through a unique, human-centred process, I empower individuals to develop the right mindset and mental fitness needed to solve problems, drive results, and enhance their lives and mental states under pressure.

Whether facing daily challenges, aiming for personal growth, or striving for business success, my approach equips anyone with the tools to think like an entrepreneur and achieve remarkable outcomes in any situation. I also work within big businesses, helping their staff adopt this entrepreneurial mindset, leading to increased innovation, improved problem-solving skills, and enhanced overall performance.

I’ve demonstrated my expertise in entrepreneurship development by disrupting traditional methods. My unique approach, designed and proven in Africa, empowers unemployed individuals in South African townships. I guide them to start businesses without external funding in just 5 weeks, ensuring these ventures are profitable enough to sustain themselves financially. This method significantly reduces the time and cost to create a job compared to traditional programmes, effectively cracking the nut of mass entrepreneurship development. My process can deliver new entrepreneurs at scale, creating hundreds, even thousands, of new businesses monthly. I am proud to offer a revolutionary solution for job creation, poverty reduction, and economic growth.

I call Johannesburg home and take pride in being a single father to my 13-year-old son. I’m an avid reader and enthusiastic about personal development. For a bit of fun, I’m also a qualified firewalking instructor.

My academic background includes a Master’s degree in Information Systems Management from the University of Liverpool, U.K., where my dissertation delved into applying various innovation methodologies within established businesses. As a regular speaker and facilitator at conferences, I also contribute to the advisory board of the University of Liverpool Management School’s professional interest network.

If you’re looking for someone to guide, inspire, and collaborate with your team or audience, I bring a blend of expertise, experience, and enthusiasm that’s hard to match. Let’s connect and create something impactful together!
