Firstly I signed up for the mentoring course and then started thinking `out of the box` due to the challenges that Hannes set in the weekly articles. My youngest son has altered his life completely - he is also thinking `out of the box`. We have been so contained in a mundane life for so long that it is unbeleivable that we never did anything before. Whenever the family is together (as my sons don`t live at home) we have brain storming sessions going on all the time, motivating each other, getting new ideas and generally being positive. The family ties have become stronger and everybody, my wife and my two boys have interacted better and work as a cohesive unit. We now have friends looking at us strangely and thinking we have gone completely mad with all the `out the box` thinking. So, from a family perspective, we have definitely found a deeper love and bond for each other. We have also started investing in ourselves in terms of education. Motivational, inspirational, entrepreneurial and finance books are being read around the family with books being passed on from member to member. At the moment the books cannot be read fast enough and there is always somebody waiting for the book you are busy with. The whole family now has their own copy of Rich Dad Poor Dad. We have discovered that we really need to understand our finances better and to also understand property and shares a whole lot better. We have been looking for property opportunities, however we have not found one yet. This is just a matter of time as we are learning. We have visisted auctions, spoken to estate agents, spoken to banks about our ideas and also done vast amounts of research on the internet. This is our investment in ourselves. By the way we already have two free properties bringing in a nice income which were purchased 3 years ago. We are already in the process of starting 4 business opportunites. Two of them will be on the internet which will be costing us nothing as we have offered a split on profits to a web developer. The first one is being launched as we speak, and the second one will be dealt with shortly. One of the other businesses involves the selling of products. These products are being sourced locally as well as from India and China. The products from India and China are made from components manufactured in South Africa that are exported from South Africa to India and China and the local factory making the components is prepared to import the completed products back into South Africa to promote their production facility. They have approached us to just sell the products locally with them doing all the importing, exporting and storage at no cost to ourselves. This business will probably start up in the next month or two. The next business is for the manufacture of a product that we have designed locally. This product will take some time to launch due to the complexity of manufacture. We might need a partner to assist us in this regard as it is manufactured from aluminium which is quite difficult to work with. Maybe we will get an investor interested and take it from there - anybody interested? This has been or process to accumulate passive income. To sum up - we have had a huge change in our lives in just 5 weeks. I need to thank a good friend of mine most sincerely as he asked me to join him on 20th August 2005 in Durban to listen to Hannes. Oh by the way, we have taken a huge turnaround in our IT business that we run which should start reaping benefits in about a years time. Cheers for now - it has been wonderful writing this article and I could go on a lot longer.   Zahier Dalvie Hein Kruger Shane Ferreira Dawie De Wet Marius Van Den Berg Corne Marais Rehabeam Nangura Gregory Kaylor Koetoe Botha Barend Gouws Roman Konig Gerrit Breedt Santosh Balgobind Corne Liebenberg Gideon Le Roux Gordon Mackay Richard Daguiar Adie Jansen van Rensburg Jes Prettejohn Jans Badenhorst Ian Bosman Massimo Guerini Pieter Bos Cliff Kayat Cliff Kayat Gerhard Hattingh Christina Heystek Mark Balios Gunther Keil Johan van der Merwe Jacques Jordaan Rentia Joubert Christo Tolmay Yves Lombard Lynette Minnaar Don Barrie Leon van Zyl Angela Carlson Angela Carlson Jaco Maartens Paul Lefera Gert Portheine Rakesh Kalyan Chris Venter Cornelius Ukattah Alan Boucher Nic Du Toit Trevor Farley Manuela Patterson Stephen Rademeyer Alan Boucher Hendrietta Mostert Abe Kempen Pieter Enslin Jako Pieterse Philip Viviers Gideon Le Roux Ben Durandt Johan Lubbe Clive Wetherill Nick Acker Pieter Walser Andrew Dumbris Tanya Jansen van Vuren Frikkie Pretorius Gerrard Boulle Daniel Matsapola Susan Nel Martin Jansen Van Rensburg Leon Steenkamp Tertius Gouws William Grimes Gideon Le Roux Clinton Meyer Andre Sterley Ben Groenewald Magda Barnard Lynne Oosthuizen Gawie Vermeulen Malcolm Cruickshank Scott Picken Gerhard Cronje Pia Beukes Andre van der Merwe Petra Coetzee Mpho Gumede Alan Boucher Johan Potgieter Henry Simpson Hermie Visser Leonard Lengton Andy Anderson Gugulethu Dlamini Marcel Delport Arlindo Tembe Leon Janse van Rensburg Xaver Walser Martin Jonker Paul Botha Ian Van Greunen Hannes Oosthuizen Marlene Scheepers Darryl Laing David Leslie Francois Vivier Johan van der Merwe Maryke Herbst Charles Fuller Kobus Portwig Charles Barnard Anton Moolman Roelof van Wyk Teddy Avolo Mark Webber Tseliso Mokeke Arlindo Tembe Mark Byrne Stephan Gilbert Ronel Burger Louis Teixeira Thomas Kromker Jannie Van Der Merwe Flip Kotze Henry Simpson Lindsey Dallas-Orr Hans Van Driel Angela Carlson Angela Carlson Colin Lee Ester Wiid Pieter Walser Susan Warring Paulus Basson Garth Farrant Pieter Koegelenberg Jeanne Maré Ilme Malherbe Andre Myburgh Christina Heystek Mitch Brandt Christoff Gouws Ian Henderson Mark Byrne Lance Woolley Estelle Coetzee Richard Daguiar Jose De Franca Jannie Mostert Ben Groenewald Miemie Van Loggerenberg Gys Van Nieuwenhuizen Lance Woolley Corne Liebenberg Gerrit Geyser Garth Farrant Trevor Farley Hermie Visser Rozanne Le Roux Admin Erna Boswell Willem Coetzer Desmond Bann Eugene Du Plessis JJ Vorster Lynn Oosthuizen
